[quote=flyer]Since many people don’t have anything to be “immodest” about, and have never had even one “glory day”–past or present in their entire life–personally, I find it interesting to hear from those who have interesting lives–especially since it seems there are so few.
Brian Williams didn’t need to add any embellishments to his already amazing life–but he chose to–and, IMO, that’s where he made his mistake.[/quote]
I think most people have something to be immodest about, whether it’s generosity, thoughtfulness, solid character, financial success, athletic victory, a special talent, a fascinating career, or a wonderful family. Perhaps you think there are few of these people because you assume they’ll tell you all about it. Probably you don’t recognize their modesty because you clearly don’t understand modesty, as evidenced by your quote below.
“As I mentioned, I enjoy sharing, as well as hearing about any and all accomplishments others have made. I don’t consider it immodest to share that information with others..”
