Challenges that reminds me of humility

1) I appreciate the fact that there are people with more presence of mind than I do around, to get things working when I am not in the presence of mind to do what is needed. I appreciate that CT was able to figure out what was wrong with the cable input, and how Soon spotted the problem with the sound whereas I was flailing around trying to figure out what was happening. Let's me see that I don't have a presence of mind when things don't go my way, and how I really want things to be easy.

2) I appreciate knowing Nick's story. About how he was, despite of his parent's objections, able to overcome their rejections and pursue something of his choice, such that even his dad would come and support him.

3) I appreciate that the sacrifices of people in the team, who had to make sure that everything was well taken care of for the guests. Like how Shane was accompanying Jasmine when they brought in media at the last moment.

4) I appreciate that Melissa actually said something to the effect of how my calming presence made her feel at ease, together with what Nick said about having to play the role and immerse himself in it once he has entered the tiger gate on to the stage, and giving me a picture of how we would allow others to shine, in their perception of ours, when we allow ourselves to bear that responsibility of not giving in to our negativities. That is the harder lesson to learn, but it seems like nobody really knows what to do, or what it is all about, but our behaving like we are certain, gives them permission to believe.
