I think you have to distinguish between being socially humble and being humble about truth.
Feynman was humble in that he tried to learn what was true instead of assuming that he already knew. He was always looking to improve his understanding.
Being humble in the search for truth can sometimes even seem arrogant socially. It means that you'll regularly question not only your own beliefs but those of other people as well.
