do what they say, then they have a problem or something. Proud people do not accept negative feedback. They hate negative feedback. They take it like an offense. No one has to tell them what to do or how to do it. They feel that they know everything. Just a simple suggestion and you could start a discussion with them. Proud people try to hide their difficulties. They minimize their problems and maximize their success. They don’t leave space for mistakes. They are not honest with themselves and live a life of “looks.” This is dangerous. Pride has been considered one of the root sins from which all others arise. Pride is blind. You can not convince a proud person that he/she is wrong. They won’t listen to you. They will pretend that they do, but they won’t, unless they recognize that they have too much pride and decide to change. Now, let’s stop talking about pride and let’s talk about the virtue it opposes: Humility. The humble person do not compare himself/herself to others. They will want to have some things, for their own pleasure and to fulfill their needs, but not to be better than others. The humble person listens to what others tell them. He/she sees feedback (positive or negative) as suggestions. They know that some people may feel envy for them. So, they scrutinize the feedback to find out if the person talking has reason or not. Smart humble people know that feedback is one of the most important parts of running a business. They want to know any suggestions that their clients or employees have for them. Humble people do not expect to be on top of everybody else. They do not seek to be in a high position just for the pleasure of being on top. They do not seek the envy of others. They do not care much about what others think about them, except for the purpose of seeing how they can improve themselves based on the feedback they receive. Humble people do not believe that they know everything. They do not think that they can do everything on their own. They seek the advice of others. They do not believe that they deserve it, they just believe that they can earn it. To be humble doesn’t mean to have low self-esteem. You know you can do it, but you accept that you are not perfect. Something else, you do not try to hide, minimize, or otherwise suffer for your mistakes. Again you accept that you are not perfect and you don’t struggle to be perfect, because no one is perfect after all, only God. You always

I
found
while
I
was
in
Atlanta
buying
religious
paintings
The
piece
was
called
Guardian
Angel
and
I
love
it
My
patrons
fell
in
love
with
it
as
well
They
have
asked
me
to
track
down
the
artist
and
see
if
he
has
anymore
religious
paintings
available
The
only
religious
paintings
that
I
actually
do
not
buy
are
ones
that
reflect
the
image

Jesus
on
the
cross
I
don’t
have
a

them
some

Ajello
Candles
The
motto
of
the
Ajello
Candle
Company
is
“It’s
better
to
light
a
candle
than
to
curse
the
darkness”
This
candle
making
company
has
been
in
business
since
1775
The
business
has
been
family
owned
for
seven
generations
The
candles
from
Ajello’s
are
well
known
for
their
beauty
and
quality
While
they
make
more

now
than
in
1775
their
dedication
to
quality
and
to
customers
has
never
changed
The
Ajello
Candle
Company
was

by

hand
at
using
bees
wax
to
create
candles
He
worked
hard
to
create
a
formula
that
worked
well
The
formula
combined
with
his
outstanding
artistic
ability
lead
to
the
birth
of
the
Ajello
Candle
Company
In
1785
the
company
earned
the
honor
of
creating
all
the
candles
for
the
Vatican
He
and
his
wife
ran
the
business
keeping
their
children
involved
in
the
processes
from
an
early
age
As
time
went
on
their
children
and
grandchildren
kept
the
business
running
as
well
as
passed
the
family
business
on
to
their
children
By
1862
the
company
had
established
itself
as
a
leader
among
the
candle
making
industry
They
had
also
