A threesome requires a teacher. Choose the good and follow it, change the bad. Don't brag about yourself, Niu Yi. Pride and complacency will turn over. Looking at many things in ancient and modern times, from humble to luxurious. A generation of great men said, "Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind." Wang Yangming said: "Life is a serious illness, but it is just a proud word." Su Shi said, "Courage is foolishness." Mr. Lao She said: "Complacency is our terrible trap; Besides, we dug this trap ourselves. "In those days, Chu overlord Xiang Yu thought chinese odyssey, refused to accept Fan Zeng's well-meaning, and finally committed suicide in Wujiang River. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng made brilliant achievements and overthrew the fatuous Ming Dynasty. However, after successfully entering Beijing, he became more and more arrogant and stubborn. As a result, he was defeated, committed suicide and went into exile, and handed over his country to the Qing Dynasty. There are countless such cases in history. The reason is that they are complacent and self-righteous about mistakes after success, unwilling to accept other people's opinions and criticisms, and unable to treat achievements and mistakes correctly. If a person is complacent in the face of achievements, self-righteous in the face of mistakes, and does not listen to the correct suggestions of others modestly, then his thoughts will become closed, rigid and headstrong.
Modest people never show off, while noble people refer to themselves, putting others before themselves. No matter how capable a person is, he should keep a modest and prudent attitude, do his own thing seriously, and don't worry that his work won't be recognized by others. Please believe that gold always shines. Those who owe their luck too much to their cleverness and wisdom will eventually be unhappy. A person's true modesty can only be the product of careful consideration of his vanity. Modesty will bring you aura, modesty will bring you stage and modesty will bring you friends. "If there are three people, there must be a teacher." Learn their excellent moral character from people older than themselves and their positive progress from people younger than themselves; Get energy after learning from people who are more knowledgeable than yourself, and learn from people who are not as good as themselves. It is an effective way to flatter yourself and enrich yourself. Treat others modestly in life, and you will win the rewards of life and the respect of others.
Modest people will never make public. Zhuge Liang said, "People who are not proud will be proud, but spoiled people will not." No matter how handsome you are, no matter how beautiful you are, no matter how rich you are, if you have no respect for others and have no home country in your heart, it is that virtue is unworthy. Indian poet Tagore said: "When we are very humble, it is our recent greatness." Bai Juyi, a realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, always read a poem to a shepherd boy or an old woman first, and then revised it repeatedly until they clapped their hands and said it was good. Poets like Bai Juyi will not despise shepherds and village women because of their ignorance. Because he knows that real literary works must be recognized by the people, he humbly asks the people for advice, which is the fundamental reason why his poems are easy to understand, widely circulated among the people and praised by future generations.
Modesty makes people respect, boasting makes people despise. Modesty is not modesty, and modesty is not inaction. Modesty means silence, and modesty means being prepared for danger in times of peace. High-risk is modest and self-grazing; If you are full of fear, you will think of rivers and oceans. Pride and complacency are the fuse of mistakes, while modesty and prudence are the paving stones of success. Humility to superiors is a responsibility; Being modest to colleagues is a courtesy; Humility to subordinates is an honor. Looking back on the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage and humbly asked Zhuge Liang for advice on the world situation and its countermeasures, respecting him as a teacher. So there was Longzhong Dui, which not only made Zhuge Liang famous, but also showed the courtesy and righteousness of corporal Liu Bei. Without Liu Bei's care for the humble abode and his respect for Zhuge Liang, his personal political ambition could not be realized. On one occasion, Qi Baishi and Mei Lanfang went to visit a family together, and the old man Baishi arrived first. He is wearing clothes and shoes, and other guests and friends are celebrities. They are in suits and ties, or robes and jackets, but Qi Baishi seems a little shabby and unassuming. Soon, Mei Lanfang arrived, and the host greeted him happily, and other guests scrambled to shake hands with him. Mei Lanfang knew that Qi Baishi was coming to the party, so she looked around. He saw the old man Baishi who was left out in the cold. He let go of other people's outstretched hands and squeezed out the crowd to respectfully call the painter "teacher" and greet him. Everyone present was surprised, and Qi Baishi was deeply moved. A few days later, I specially gave Mei Lanfang a painting that was really respected by everyone. This is the realm of a generation of Peking Opera masters.
