Abstract
In this reflective editorial, the author shares their long-standing aspiration to start a tea brand or cafe, humorously highlighting their struggle to find the perfect name. Amidst their journey through various tea experiences, the concept of "Humili-tea" emerges, embodying a tea that is initially astringent and sour but ultimately calming. This metaphor serves as a backdrop for a discussion on humility and gratitude, particularly during Thanksgiving. The author recounts personal and professional moments that have fostered humility, emphasizing the importance of embracing a "half full" mindset and the benefits of positive thinking. The editorial underscores the value of trust and cooperation within the dental profession, encouraging practitioners to appreciate their patients, staff, and families. As Thanksgiving approaches, the message is clear: humility and gratitude are essential for personal and professional growth, enhancing well-being and strengthening community bonds.
