One of my friends from college was killed about 6 months when he was hit by a car while crossing the street drunk.

I am humbled everyday. When I see someone on the street, a person who works 95 hours a week, person in a wheelchair, etc.

I am humbled by the beauty in the world around me everyday. I am humbled by the faith and willingness to live that people under extraordinary circumstances exhibit every day.

I was humbled last week when everyone made fun of my penis on the other board. Sorry if my humbling experience isn't as dramatic as everyone else's. (I have had friends to die in extremely unpleasant circumstances, but it has been a while and I guess I'm through grieving)

That humbles me. I dont think I'd have it in me to be confined to a wheel chair. Thats part of the reason I exercise as much as I do. Not only becuase I love it, but because there are people who can't do it, and I feel that I should take advantage of what I got.

Everytime I go back to my hometown and work at the ol' YMCA...try having 50-60 little 3, 4, and 5 year olds runnin' circles around you and try not to smile from ear to ear...

This is in a more positive way than the "death' examples, but it's what hits me the hardest...

No matter how hard-assed, how cut-throat I become, I always know what really matters...

I heard this little boy on Saturday say..."My mama's gonna have baby in her tummy..." I almost cried!

I cannot wait to have kids of my own so that I can share the experience with every other parent out there!!

nicely put Havoc

Badkins hit the nail on the head for me (quit doing that! )...I have never been more humble than the day my wife gave birth to our baby boy...this woman who I have fought with, yelled at, etc., struggled in pain for hours (nay, months) to produce the most beautiful human being of all time...how did she do it?...amazing...women rule

I have never been more mortal than the day I was shot (by accident) in the leg...a little higher and I could be dead...or worse, my dick could have been shot off!

I have been humbled for as long as I have known my grandfather...He was paralized on one half of his body just before I was born...Seeing him as a very young child finding new work since he was unable to go back to working on machines at his job of more then 30 years. Every time I see him it humbles me to think about the simplicity of the men of my faimly before me and the complexity at which they approached being the best they could be....Not to mention all of the pro's and con's they developed as people which were passed on to my father...All of the men untill my father were mechanics and machinist of some sort.

Faimly: just one look or word spoken from them is enough to humble me. All of the other tragedy and joys of my life are a pale comparision to that.

As far as a life experience, I would have to say the moment I knew I couldn't throw a baseball effectively anymore.
I used to think baseball was life, and when I first got my rotator cuff injury I thought life was over. It's funny though because I have grown as a person since leaving baseball. So in some respects it was good for me. But it didn't seem that way at the time.

I am most humbled when I am around my father. He is the hardest working person I have ever known, a Vietnam Vet, a purple heart recipient, a bronze star recipient, and the best father and husband a family could ever ask for. He is the most unselfish and loyal person I have ever known, and it humbles me to know that no matter what I do in my life or what I have to show for it in the end; I will never be as good a man as he was. It doesn't bother me, but it humbles me. He is truly a great man and my only real role model.

I am humbled by my mothers strength. She survived almost dying at the age of 2, she lost one son at birth, another only lived to be 9, she took on someone elses' child (me), selflessly nursed my father through 4 years of cancer while running our store and then survived cancer herself.
And people criticize her for being somewhat unemotional. To me, she is a tower of strength and perserverence. She was so much smarter and deserved so much better than the traditional husband and children, but we wanted for nothing and we will be lost without her.

When in the midst of my buying supplements, buying food, training, eating, growing, taking vacations all over the world, my constant worrying over making more and more and more $$$$ and finally breaking the 150K barrier of salary per year, gloating over the fact my son is in a third grade accelerated gifted program, owning my own home, a Mercedes, dating a multi millionaire girlfriend, my son says "Do you know that Ryan who is in second grade at school has cancer?"
