Humble

Better than you. Better than you'll ever be. No amount of effort FROM you will ever cause the same action to lead to the outcome I've achieved which is: A far reaching intellectual property with a proven track record of sucess that has generated millions upon millions of dollars and that's if you don't include my contribution to the creation of A.I.

Humbled

Verb getting humbled: to take someone's blissful pride, self-centeredness, narcissism or ego down to a point where they realize they're not the *hot shit* or *alpha* they thought they were.

Often done in a polite way without involving physical or verbal aggression, and even less so, passive-aggressiveness.
Reddit mods: (trying to insert their frail authority) We're going to protest by privating your sites for 48 hours!
Reddit CEO: (humbling their authority) open the sites or we'll replace you with other mods.
Reddit mods: (humbled, realizing they don't have any authority) woah woah easy easy look we already opened them back no need to replace us right?

The humble scale

Announcing that oneself is "humble" actually makes him/ her/ them less humble. The more that one self-proclaims "humility," the less humble that person is in reality. This is the essence of a "humble person," which is represented mathematically as follows:

Level of humble = 1 - self-proclaimed humble level
Mike: *calls himself "humblemike"*
Mike's friends: "Mike clearly isn't that humble. According to the humble scale, I think his humble level just dropped to 3%"
