One of the main condiments of a great life is being humble.
When you set your ego aside, your mirror breaks and you are able to see the ones around you. You can now focus on a cause or someone that needs your help.
By being humble you are able to learn from anyone, cause you don't know everything, even the perceived weakest link can teach you something.
That's quite important when you're trying to achieve something that requires you to learn new things (kind of a common place), start to doing so, by realizing that you can be the jack of all trades but master of none. So you definitely need other's wisdom to proceed.
Humility lets you see the world from a different perspective, where you are able to change your opinion and be flexible about your approach.
