The famous sayings about lowering yourself are as follows:
"Laozi" has a saying: "Water will eventually return to the sea because of kindness, and mountains will become their own peaks if they do not strive to be high." Lowering yourself does not mean to belittle yourself. Rather, be humble in heart, stand on the low ground, and walk towards the high ground.
The higher the realm of people, the lower their attitude; and the more frivolous and ignorant people are, the more they take themselves too seriously.
There is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world. No matter when, you must have a pattern of lowering your posture and not being arrogant, boastful, or boastful, so that you can grow faster and go farther.
If you don’t practice enough, you will become more public.
“What appears on the surface is all scenery, but when you sink your mind, you will find the answer.” People who have not practiced enough will find it harder to calm down and improve themselves, and the more they like to show off themselves. The fastest way to destroy a person is to let him get carried away and live in a false world of self-promotion.
The "Tao Te Ching" has long said: "Those who see themselves are not clear, and those who are self-righteous will not manifest themselves. Those who cut down on themselves have no merit, and those who are proud of themselves will not grow." People who think they are self-righteous will not be able to show off themselves. ; People who boast about themselves and talk without shame will not be recognized.
People who have insufficient cultivation are trapped by impetuous publicity and are intoxicated with a sense of self-superiority. They stop moving forward, waste time and let themselves down.
The more superficial people are, the more public they are, and the more extraordinary people are, the more humble and low-key they are.
The situation becomes bigger and the posture becomes lower.
“When we learn to be humble, that is when we are closest to a great man.” Only those who are not boastful about their talents and their high status can achieve their own success.
Lowering your attitude does not mean belittle oneself, but has a reverence for the world and others, which is the overall pattern of life.
