During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage in order to restore the Han Dynasty. He was not proud of Zhuge Liang's inferiority, but lowered his status and visited again and again. Zhuge Liang finally felt sincere and promised to run for him. On the contrary, in order to overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant uprising army led by Li Zicheng moved north and south, and it took more than 10 years to break into Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty. They thought that the world had been won, so they relaxed their vigilance and became proud, which led to the Qing army entering the customs and ended in failure. Li Zicheng's decades of hard work was also destroyed. For another example, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, was proud of defeating Gou Jian, the king of Yue, drinking and having fun all day long, ignoring state affairs. Finally, I was beaten.

My classmates also gave me a lot of opinions, saying that I didn't care about my classmates, that I was too proud, and that I was ... I was really angry at that time! Because of pride, my study is slowly falling behind. Later, with the help of my teacher, I gradually realized the harm that pride brought to me and began to help and learn from my classmates. In this way, I made great progress.
