Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.
Humans are incredible. Leaving the planet and taking a trip on the moon and possibly mars someday is no small feat.
We just need to fix our planet. Or to be honest, stop ruining it so it heals itself.
Humans are also, possibly apart from dogs, the only beings that think humans are incredible. If we take any other entity in the universe, then chances are they think pretty lowly of humans and their cherished intelligence, if at all.
We don't have a frame of reference. Compared to similar creatures we could be pathetic or impressive.
Personally I'm very impressed how much we've accomplished with our crappy intellect and destructive nature.
