This awards season, many winners will say, "I'm humbled by this honor." Ann from Burlington, Vermont, wonders: Shouldn't they feel honored rather than humbled? What's so humbling about winning awards? Grant argues that saying "I'm humbled" is truly a mark of humility because of the better and greater people who made your award possible. Martha would rather hear them just say "I'm honored" or "I'm grateful." This is part of a complete episode.
