Instead of "humbled", people should just say "Won this award -- confirmation of my sheer awesomeness" or "Got promoted -- because I rock".
I don't understand "Won the Oscar - humbled" or "Got in Hall of Fame - humbled". I expect "Arrested -- humbled" or "Bankrupt - humbled"
Why do people say "humbled" when they win an award / get an achievement? We get humbled when we screw up, not at the moment of recognition.
