Can self-esteem and humility coexist?

My son, with humility have self-esteem;

and give yourself the esteem you deserve. Sirach 10:28

This biblical text reminds me of the Webster-Merriam definition posted a few days ago, and is instructing to have rightly placed self-esteem. Again, it seems that this text points to not having false humility and acting as if we are unworthy. 

Instead, acknowledging our gifts and talents, along with their true source is humility. And fully grounded in reality, we must use these gifts and talents to become what we were created to be.

I heard as an example the other day: Shaquille O'Neal could not have  been a race horse jockey. But in acknowledging and cooperating with his true gifts and talents he excelled at basketball and was inducted into the hall of fame this year.

Humility is not pretending that we don't have gifts or that are gifts don't matter and rightly placed self-esteem is healthy. They can coexist if we are grounded in reality.
