Build humility before recognition tests it.

Recognition is unusually corrosive because it arrives with evidence that you were right, which makes listening feel unnecessary. Humility built beforehand survives that. Humility that depends on not yet having succeeded tends to disappear at precisely the moment it becomes useful.

Keep at least one person around who tells you plainly when you are wrong, and keep taking it well. Also keep a clear memory of the luck involved in your best outcomes. Both get harder to hold onto later.
