The ability to stay humble

Ip Man was the movie that inspired me to write this post. Today, I learnt that the power of humbleness.
Ip Man was a kungfu master in Foshan. During the 1930s, there were many kungfu masters plying their trade. The great Ip Man invented the Wing Chun style of kungfu, but never sold his trade aggressively. In fact, gangsters come and pick fights with him.

He always reject their challenges. He only fought when he was challenged upon. His humbleness striked me, despite the fact he was a grandmaster in martial arts. I ask myself - how many people has the ability to be remain down to earth, even when one is famous or popular? Who has the sanity to stay strong to his principles at all times, even in moments of life and death?
