Can you define modesty?

Answer by  lee63 (51)

Modesty is a virtue of ones character. It is the practice of not drawing attention to ones self. It is to be humble about ones own abilities and accomplishments. Principles of modesty can be applied broadly to life or can focus on a very specific element such as ones choice of clothing.

Modesty is accepting praise and credit without letting it get to your head. Cocky or arrogant people are the opposite of modest. Those who are modest let their actions speak.
