The Catch-22 of Humility

Humility is considered a virtue; and Christians are taught that this is something we should work at having. Yet, when you are humble and you don't brag or toot your own horn, people (including other Christians) don't know what you do. So when budget time rolls around, they figure you're position is superfluous and they let you go.

The catch-22 of humility is that if you boast, you're seen as immodest or a braggart; yet if you don't somehow let people know about your accomplishments, you're seen as useless or dead weight.
