The Hidden Life of Jesus
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man. - Lk 2, 51-52
I'm pretty sure that verse 52 isn't possible without verse 51. This is true for us, too. Well, not entirely: we can certainly gain favor with men without ever learning this sort of humility.
These verses cover approximately 18 years of Jesus' life. Like Jesus, it is what we do in the hidden years that will determine what becomes of our ministry and our life when it is time for God's glory to be revealed through us.
