About Be Humble Day
When is Be Humble Day? This holiday is always celebrated on February 22
Cut yourself a big slice of humble pie, as today is Be Humble Day, a February 22 holiday. Today is not a day to brag or boast. It’s not a time to talk about your success or accomplishments. It is absolutely taboo to be a braggart today. Rather, act modestly in everything you do and say.
This holiday can and should be a humbling experience. That’s exactly the intent of today. Humbleness is a good thing, a virtue. People much prefer a humble person to a braggart. Practice humbleness today, and every day. It will serve you well in life.
Important Exception: While you can’t brag about yourself today, it is very appropriate to brag about your kids today, or any day.
