Defining Humility

My latest conception of humility includes a combination of the following:

Intrinsic self-esteem
Intrinsic other-esteem
Awareness of fallibility--perhaps specifically realizing that you can believe something 100% and still be wrong (thanks, Tom).

Anything missing from that?

We shall see.

I'm surprised I'm not finding more in the literature regarding the concept of "other-esteem." Perhaps I just don't know the right words to use... What would a normal person call other-esteem? Help me out people, ha. =)
