Humility

I read on Sunday that Koh Tsu Koon said that his mistake was being too humble.

Hmmmm, can anyone be humble when they cannot get results? When they keep making the same mistakes over and over again?

Dont you think humility can only come from confidence? When you have nothing to prove anymore? Until then, you may have a template of what you think humility is but that is all. You may try to fake it but deep down inside you know its just a pretence. You are not confident of yourself and your thinking. You are too easily confused. So how to be humble against the huge forces of self doubt, particularly if it lies in the unconcious?
