When you have nothing and you are still grateful, and when you have everything and you are still humble, then perhaps Allah SWT has given you wisdom to moderate the sometimes extreme circumstances. Humble beginnings to well appreciated riches is the stuff of storybooks but how many can take the reverse. The Qur'an reminds us this can be a test: And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me." But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me." (Al-Fajr 89:15-16).
