Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt argues that Fulton Sheen understood fame in a way today's Christian influencers don't, and the core of it is humility.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLove it! Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less, and I've been telling people that for years, usually into a camera.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo how many shares does the essay on thinking of yourself less have?

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOh, it's flying. People are posting it with their own little captions about how humbled they are.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHumbled, with a caption.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe most humble thing you can do is send it to forty friends and say you haven't even finished it.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYou just did it, Hank. You thought about yourself twice in one sentence.
