In a world full of egotistical and selfish people, we have to constantly put forth effort to cultivate and maintain humility. To men, the one who is great is who has the most of something, but to God the person who is great is who conducts himself as a lesser person. We want to be considered great in Jehovah God 's eyes.

This shows how we want to view ourselves as a lesser one. This is a person who is modest and humble. We have to continuously put forth an effort to cultivate such qualities because the competitive environment in which we live might influence us to be egotistical, combative, or manipulative.
