Qian Zhongshu, a famous scholar, is praised as much for his modesty as for his knowledge. On one occasion, Sun He, the screenwriter and director who was creating the TV series Fortress Besieged, asked Qian Zhongshu about the adaptation of this drama. During the dinner, Sun asked Qian Zhongshu and his wife for diamonds and asked them to write an inscription. Qian Zhongshu spread out the book Fortress Besieged, dipped it in ink and said to Sun with a smile, "I call you brother!" " Sun said at a loss, "no, no, no!" " However, Qian Zhongshu quickly wrote the words "Flying and Saving" on the title page and said, "This is a souvenir of our friendship!
Xie Juezai said: "People who have a little knowledge are not modest; Those who have knowledge and ability must be modest. " A person's character is in direct proportion to the knowledge he has. If he wants to be a wise man, he must be modest.
Even a great man like Newton said before he died, "Don't call me a great man. I don't know what the world thinks of me. I just feel like a child playing on the beach, occasionally picking up a few shiny shells. " But the real Wang Yang sea has not been recognized and discovered before my eyes. "After a pause, he added," If I see farther than Descartes, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants. "
True wisdom is always associated with modesty, and a true philosopher must be as generous as the sea. Only when a person knows more will he realize that he knows less. This is the eternal law.
A wise man can do anything. On the contrary, some people in high positions are always arrogant, arrogant and arrogant. Such a person is far from being modest and doesn't even understand the basic principles of being a man. They are just rubbish produced in the process of human evolution.
A true wise man often appears in front of you with an ordinary attitude. At this time, you don't even know that this seemingly ordinary friend in front of you is a calm and prudent confidant, indifferent to fame and fortune, and never does anything that people despise. This is the true nature of a wise man.
Modesty does not mean cowardice, nor does modesty mean weakness. When the war is raging, words clash and competition is fierce, modesty means backwardness and failure! "neither humble nor humble!" Contact with an arrogant person, you don't need modesty, because your modesty can only be despised by him!
Only modesty can cultivate sincere and open-minded quality; Only modesty can make you see shadows in prosperity and light in adversity; Only modesty can carve out the natural, open-minded and wise beauty of human nature!
