Talented people all lose to "arrogance", and mediocre people all lose to "laziness". How do you understand this sentence?

I have met many talented people, and they are truly talented and admirable. But they are almost all arrogant without exception. Talented people do not lack wisdom. They find opportunities and ideas quickly. The only reason they fail is their arrogance. They always don't pay attention to others and think they are already great.

From another perspective, although arrogant people are smart and have high IQ, their emotional intelligence is often very low. They are not good at winning hearts and minds. They don't bow when they should. Finally, they are also prone to disaster. Additionally, even if your leader is receptive to you, your coworkers may not be. For example, Xu You's neutrality in the Battle of Guandu made him very arrogant in the army. Later, he even gave Cao Cao a nickname, saying: "A lie, a lie, I have the most credit." Although Xu You had been close to Cao Cao since childhood, Xu Chu, who was controlled by Cao Cao, could not bow his head and kill Xu You. .

There is another saying: When a person does not bother to cover up his stupidity, he is arrogant. One should learn to hide one's strengths. True talent and wisdom is knowing what you don't know, so that you can continue to learn and make progress. The water flows low, and when you lower your posture to the lowest level, although there is no blessing, disaster is far away.

Therefore, this era is impetuous and everyone needs to be recognized. So a lot of people will have a little bit of success. And those who are talented but low-key, have outstanding achievements but are cautious, and those who are successful and humble are the real talents!

This is the difference between ordinary and mediocre: we can be ordinary, but not mediocre! Talents are most afraid of pride, and talents are most afraid of laziness. "Pride" and "lazy" here also reflect a person's virtue: talents without arrogance must bear the pressure of virtue. Without talent, only by working hard can you get the support of "virtue".
