Modest basically means living within their means and not spending more than they have to a person that can do great things with little fan-fair and doesn't expect a pat on the back. Modest people are usually quiet, listen well to others, do good for others without expecting something in return, and sometimes do much more than any of their family or friends know about and it's all good. They don't brag or boast about themselves, but are truly happy for family or friends that have good fortune. Modesty can sometimes be construed as shyness. A person can be neat, but modestly dressed (not high end clothing, but still look good.)

What does modest means mean?
"Modest means" defines a person's financial condition. For example, "He/She is a man/woman of modest means." Such a statement indicates the person is not wealthy, but rather that their income is quite modest, possibly substandard. "Modest means" has nothing to do with a person's achievements or abilities. The first answer better defines only the word "modest" as noted: A modest person is unwilling to draw attention to his own achievements or abilities and might answer enthusiastic comments about his work, such as, "That looks amazing!" with the response, "Nah, it looks okay." However, such a response probably only indicates false humility. A truly modest person would possibly respond, "Thank you, but like Michael Angelo said, I am still learning."
