"When you go far, you feel inferior, but when you climb high, you humble yourself" means: If you want to walk a long way and reach a lofty goal, you must start from near; if you want to climb to the top of a mountain, you must look far into the distance. To see the mountains at a glance, you must start from the foot of the mountain.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" is a cautionary saying in the "Four Books and Five Classics" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". If you take small steps, you cannot reach a thousand miles; if you do not accumulate small streams, you cannot reach a river or a sea." There are different approaches but the same purpose.

"When you travel far, you will be near; when you climb high, you will humble yourself"

The way of a gentleman is as follows: when traveling far, you must be near; when you climb high, you must humble yourself. "Poetry" says: "The wife is harmonious, like the drum, harp, and harp. The brothers are playing, and they are happy and relaxed. It is suitable for the family and the family, and the wife and money are happy." Confucius said: "My parents are so obedient!"

Translation

A gentleman's pursuit of the golden mean is like taking a long road, he must start from near; just like climbing a high mountain, he must start from low. "The Book of Songs" says: "The harmonious relationship between your wife and children is like playing the harp, drum and harp. The harmonious relationship between brothers is harmonious and happy. Make your family happy and your wife and children happy."

Confucius exclaimed: "In this way, parents will be satisfied!" ”
