This is such a great point. It can be applied to any job/career. I think that being humble like that gives you a certain ability to see the bigger picture in things. We always get caught up with too many materialistic details. I've heard extremely passionate programmers say things like "I don't ever want to see a computer again" or "I wish I could do something else, this sucks". But on the other hand, when you work with them and they're actually 'in it' and they're not distracted by external stresses, you see that they actually love it, and they wouldn't trade it for nothing.
