A person truly humble , need not be visibly humble to others.
It is just enough to experience ( not merely thinking about it), that a person is inter-dependent on everything around him, for his everything, and he can be only humble.

Examples:
Say that you're good at basketball. Being humble means that you don't go around telling your friends, "man, i'm awesome in basketball, i could beat anyone." Saying that is PRIDE, the opposite of humbleness.
Say that your mother just finished making some delicious dinner. You and your sister run in the kitchen to put your food on the plate, and you got there first, but your sister wants to go first. Do you fight and argue? Humbleness will tell you to let your sister go first. This is how we imitate Christ, goodness, etc.
Another great example is: Say that someone wants to pick a fight with you. Are you going to fight him? Are going to think to yourself, "man, i could beat this little punk!" If your humble, you will apologize and do anything in your power not to fight that person.

To consciously, sincerely, happily realize that you are the lowest man among men. And I had already occupied that place, would you agree to take the second?
Anyhow, in reality, if each individual among all men realized that he is the lowest man, then immediately peace would reign this world.

Knowing that it's not all about us. Esteeming others and not just ourselves. Being honest about shortcomings and apologizing for failures.

Don't be boastful and above all give credit for your talents to God who gave you them as gifts.
