Stingy: stingy. Be a good person: this means listening to good advice from others. Such as flow: if running water flows from a high place to a low place, it is quick and natural. The general idea of these two sentences is: don't hesitate to correct mistakes, and listen to good words as quickly and naturally as water flows downwards.
"generosity to change evil and be good" was first seen in Shangshu, and "being good" came from Zuo Zhuan. Su Shi combined these two ancient methods into one, and said in the Master Book: "I have never been reluctant to mend my ways after death, and Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang were forced to practice, which has never happened since Qin and Han Dynasties." Obviously, he was mentioned as a high moral cultivation.
It's really hard to repent, be generous, be kind and flow. These two sentences are still of positive significance to today's ideological education and can be used for reference by rulers. "Good advice" has now become an idiom to describe the ability to accept others' good advice quickly.
Egocentric analysis:
You know, most people in the world are self-centered, and such people are arrogant. They are habitually self-righteous, smart and self-deceiving. They always feel that they are the center of the universe and others are supporting roles.
Only open-minded people can realize their own narrowness and limitations. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, so that they will not become frogs in the well.

If Sean refuses to bend down and put on shoes for Huang Shigong, he will lose the opportunity to receive expert guidance.
If you surpass yourself, you are smart enough to identify who is smarter than yourself, and you can treat others with humility, you will certainly benefit a lot. This is called modest benefit. People feel their own smallness, and their behavior begins to be great. This is Ren's famous saying, and so it is. Only when we are small and self-reflective, can we keep growing.
