The question is, "What is humility?"
According to Wikipedia, the adjectival word of humble, is the quality of being modest and respectful. Humility in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue in many religious and philosophical traditions, being connected with the notions of agelessness.
So what's it to me in a religious context?
I don't know where I got this or how this idea got into my head, but here's humility with a metaphorical sense. Humility, is like the water level in a cup. You, being the cup. The lower the water level, the more humble you are as God is able to pour more and give you more in your life. But if it is already more or less full, then you are not humble at all, in another sense, proud. By which, God cannot possible pour more 'water' into your life.
So, having lower water levels is the best. In other words, having more humility is better.
