1 Pedro 3:3-4
May the beauty of you not be the external one, which consists of ornaments such as ostentatious hairstyles, gold jewelry and luxurious dresses. That its beauty is rather the incorruptible one, the one that comes from the intimacy of the heart and consists of a soft and peaceful spirit. This one does have a lot of value before God.
So, dear brothers, humility is a characteristic that all human beings should develop on the face of the earth. Humility makes you aware of who you are, that you are no more and no less than anyone, that makes you worthy of trust and respect for others.
Because human beings are all equal in the eyes of God, our father and creator, who gave us the greatest example of humility in dying for all of us on the cross of Calvary.
Therefore, brothers, your humility should not embarrass you, but it is your strength to face the different actions you undertake in life, whether at work, with family, friends or the most common social interrelations. Because humility is not synonymous with poverty, but is synonymous with quality of person.
Here is a related story to reflect on.

The idea was to create a work table where Mrs. María played a very important role together with several management specialists and relevant personnel of this company where the purpose was to benefit many of the workers, mostly career professionals and specialized personnel with a great deal of experience. experience.
It turns out that when arriving at the company when getting out of the car and walking a little, Mrs. María feels an instability when walking, realizes that one of her shoes has broken and the lack of something to break in its entirety.
As usual, Mrs. Maria was nervous, she did not know if the broken shoe would give her time to reach the human resources department where the person in charge of coordinating the activity was.

This young executive with the name of Rodolfo, in addition to showing his kindness and kindness to Mrs. Maria, gave him a lot of confidence by making her feel like they were equal, showing that this could happen to anyone.
Rodolfo directed Mrs. Maria to the place where the activity would take place. Of course, all the equipment and the necessary resources were installed, being Mrs. Maria the first to arrive, because she always used to arrive earlier because she liked punctuality. That played in his favor since he gave Rodolfo time to put it in his space on the table, there he asked Mrs. Maria, give him his shoes to find a solution with the staff of the store, supposedly had a special problem to stick pipes maybe this could work. And so it was, Rodolfo took the shoe, and Mrs. Maria put her bare foot under the table.
After a few minutes each one of the invited guests arrived, who after their presentations and institutional protocols, showed a great work in team, where great and very important contributions flowed that allowed to bring successfully the work table for the benefit of the institutions involved.
At the end of the day the thanks and farewells. Of course, María María demonstrated a great professional ethic, she was able to carry out her work and leave the name of her institution on high, demonstrated in the joint work for the benefit of many and most importantly no one from the rest of the attendees learned about what happened to Mrs. Maria, only Rodolfo and who stuck the shoe, who gave it to him at the end of the day, the lady put it on again and thanked them infinitely for the favor given.
That is to say that even without shoes, Mrs. Maria could carry out the activity and with great success, not having it on did not diminish her knowledge about math, nor made her less developed.
