Graduation and graduation talks are not usually packed with humble words. Instead, graduates hear about how they have arrived, they did it, they are smart, how far they’ve come, and that the future is in their hands. Sometimes this can cause feelings of pride and superiority to all those somewhere behind them in the academic journey. Solomon explains that pride ends in humiliation and disgrace, while humility brings wisdom and honor and opens the door to receive God’s grace, which he gives to the humble. Tied to this are words of counsel about keeping your mouth shut and not blowing your own horn – a bit different counsel than most graduation talks.

This week we have our first-ever #fhcTAKEAWAYS-Combo! Each week our takeaways give us some questions or words of wisdom to ponder. Given how this subject has impacted people, the two takeaways we have are: On a continuum of unhealthy pride to low self-esteem, where do you land? And, two: If you were to ask co-workers, close friends, or family for feedback, what do you think you’d hear?
