Why is Modesty so Important | Rabbi Akiva Fox

Allow me to introduce [music] myself. Look at my muscles. Look at the strength. >> [music] >> And my voice, I make Pavarotti sound like a frog with laryngitis. But that's not who I am. Who I am is who I am inside. >> [music] >> Modesty teaches us to focus on internal, not on external. [music] Who we are is not how we appear to others, is not how we make ourselves look or we make [music] ourselves sound. Who we are is the real inside me. A person who focuses on modesty recognizes [music] that it's not what you look like and it's not what other people think of you that [music] determines who you are and what you are, but it's on how I choose to be and what I want to be that makes me [music] the man I am.
