Oh Lord, It's Hard To Be Humble 

No one is better than me at being humble!

Or so I once thought. "Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less." (The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren)

Higher up on the page, Warren writes, "You can develop humility in very practical ways: by admitting your weaknesses, by being patient with others' weaknesses, by being open to correction, and by pointing the spotlight on others. Paul advised, 'Live in harmony with each other. Don't try to act important, but enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all.' To the Christians in Philippi he wrote, 'Give more honor to others than to yourselves. Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others.'"
