Explanation:

Annie seems to have a very high sense of self-esteem and has no trouble admitting then she is right all the time. The fact that Anagos tells Annie to be humble means that he/she thought that Annie was being too arrogant or egotistical for the task at hand.

Anagos encourages Annie to be more approachable as she will need the goodwill of other to succeed.
