Humility doesn't mean hiding in the corner and pretending you are not strong. Humility means to be what you are.
We learn humility through accepting humiliations cheerfully.
The good thing about New Orleans is that, overall, it's an accepting place. It's accepting of eccentricity, it's accepting of excess, it's accepting of color, in the sense of culture, not necessarily in the sense of race.
Accepting both the opportunity and the responsibility evokes a great deal of humility.
