Abstract
I start this part of the book with my motto: You should be humble when facing the future, but not subservient. In the first part of the book, I have discussed how humility, or anticipation, should be practiced in terms of the future. You should be prepared for almost anything, at least mentally. At the very least, we should be aware that we cannot know what will happen in the future, and almost anything can happen, and we should prepare for that. Humility is admitting our own smallness when facing the future.
