5 In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.
6 Christ himself was like God in everything.
But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit.
7 But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.
He was born as a man
and became like a servant.
8 And when he was living as a man,
he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death—death on a cross (Phil 2:5-8). NCV
Abraham Lincoln believed people should not think too highly of themselves or boast about their accomplishments. He reportedly said, “What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.”
