Franklin, known as the father of America, talked about the way to success. He believes it all started with a visit. When he was young, an old-timer invited him to meet him in a low hut. Franklin is here. He puffed out his chest and walked with great strides. As soon as he entered the door, his forehead slammed into the door frame and suddenly swelled up, which made him laugh and cry. Seeing him like this, the old-timer smiled and said, "Does it hurt? Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? This is your biggest gain today. If a person wants to gain insight into the world and practice human feelings, he must always remember to bend his head. " Franklin thought this visit was an enlightenment. He firmly remembered the teachings of his predecessors and made modesty his life rule. It can be seen that bending down is also a kind of wisdom.
Mumbai Buddhist College is one of the most famous Buddhist colleges in India. The school opened a small door next to its main entrance, with a height of 1.5 m and a width of 0.4 m. If an adult goes in, he should not only lean sideways, but also bend down, otherwise he will hit the wall. All the freshmen in this school will be led to this small door by his teacher and bent down to go in and out once. In life, it is convenient to get in and out of the gate, but many times, there are no wide gates where we want to enter, or some gates can't be entered casually. At this time, only those who learn to bend sideways and temporarily put down their dignity and decency can enter, otherwise you can only be blocked from the door. This is Buddhism and philosophy of life.
Newton, known as the "father of mechanics", discovered the law of universal gravitation and founded the classical mechanical system in mechanics. In heat, he determined the law of cooling; In mathematics, he put forward the "flow number method", established two theorems, and founded calculus almost at the same time as Leibniz, which opened a new era of mathematics. He is a great scientist with many achievements, but he is still modest. Regarding his success, he said modestly, "If I see farther than Descartes, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." He also said to people, "I am like a child playing on the beach." Sometimes I am glad to find a smooth and beautiful stone, but the sea of truth has not been discovered. " Even a great man like Newton has an open mind to learn, not to mention us ordinary people. Take the advantages of others to make up for your own shortcomings, be humble to others and be humble to life. Isn't it just to leave a gap for yourself? In every learning process, leave yourself room for progress. Over time, you can make greater progress.
