Kill the Ego

We discussed etiquette in class and I think it became apparent to everyone there is an underlying theme.
Humility is a trait that is not very apparent in our daily lives. Sometimes you have to look really hard for it , sometimes you forget your own need for humility.

Through basic traditional etiquette the concept of humility is reinforced during our time in class, but why?
If you kill the Ego and truly feel the humility you become a true student. One who is open minded, patient and willing to learn. You become a canvas, those around you want to teach and guide you and those around you want to work and train with you.
Then you realize how you have increased your possibilities tenfold.
Humility makes you strong.
