Taishan does not let the soil, so it can become big; Rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so they can be deep. How can we learn to be modest? For people, only by listening to others' opinions with an open mind can we constantly improve ourselves and achieve success. Qi Weiwang spoke freely, made suggestions, and was loved by the people and the state, so that Qi "defeated the court"; Qin Xiaogong listened to Shang Yang's suggestion and carried out political reform, which made Qin rich in military strength and dominated the six countries. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, followed the advice of Wei Zhi, and created a prosperous situation of "Zhenguan rule". They are all emperors, enjoying supreme power and glory, but they all have broad-minded minds and elegant tolerance, accepting the harsh advice that flooded in with humility, and finally becoming a generation of wise kings, whose names will last forever. They are remembered by the world, not only because of the great achievements of strengthening the country and enriching the people, but also because of their modesty. As an emperor, he can be so modest, how can people not admire him!
Full loss, little gain. Modesty makes people introverted and deep, calm and calm, accept criticism from others with an open mind, and achieve their own life. Complacency often makes people headstrong and arrogant, slowly blinding their eyes and ears, and then standing still, being surpassed by others and becoming a loser.
Xiang Yu, known as the overlord of Chu, was born in a noble family and could carry the tripod. In the Battle of Julu, he defeated Qin Jun with his courage and ingenuity and reached the peak of his life. Since then, he claimed to be king and indulged in the vanity of "ruling the world". At the hongmen banquet, "there was a Fan Zeng who didn't use it", which finally ended his overlord inheritance. Xiang Yu's arrogance stems from his self-satisfaction, and his desire for power and wealth makes him an arrogant fool. For example, a frog in a well, intoxicated by the world he created, can't see the threat of others, can't hear the advice of sages, and finally groans by himself. Therefore, learn to be modest, never satisfied, and keep running forward.
Modest bamboo has curved leaves, and proud plums are not spent on its back. Modesty is an open-minded attitude and an unsatisfied mentality. Let's learn to be modest.

In practice, people come to the conclusion that success comes from modesty. Why does success come from modesty? Zhuangzi said: "My life is limited and my knowledge is limited." He clearly pointed out that learning is endless. In other words, if you know "a star" in the sky, then knowledge is the whole universe, boundless. Only when a person has mastered a lot of necessary and useful knowledge will the door of success open to you. So be modest and eager to learn. Scholar Descartes said: "The more you study, the more you find your own shortcomings." Yes, only by studying, expanding the field of knowledge, expanding the scope of knowledge and saving more information can you truly understand the profound meaning of "endless knowledge". In this way, you will not sell yourself short, be conceited, be modest and mature, keep making progress, and succeed uninvited. Then, when we have made some achievements in our studies or careers, should we be modest? Yes! Because "modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind." Some people often get stuck in the mire because of arrogance. The ancients said it well: "Modesty benefits, profit and loss." If you get a little success and get carried away by the immediate victory, it will ruin your hard-won achievements. In our study and life, we should not be particularly proud. The proverb says, "Ninety percent of people are modest, and nine out of ten people are complacent." If we are not complacent when we get good grades, we will be in by going up one flight of stairs. Actually speaking, modesty is a virtue and a kind of accomplishment. Modesty is also one of the ways to measure a person's ideological and moral integrity.
Those who are loyal to the truth are open-minded, and those who devote themselves to the people's cause are never complacent. Our beloved Premier Zhou Enlai is an outstanding representative in this regard. He can govern the country, be strong and secure, be both civil and military, but he is not modest and prudent, showing more modesty and maturity than ordinary people. If we want to learn from Zhou Enlai, then modesty is the first thing to learn. Ripe ears of wheat and apples enlighten us that success comes from modesty, otherwise it will be destroyed.

Maine won the admiration of "plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold" because of her humility to ice and snow; The reason why the Netherlands won "getting out of the mud without dyeing" is because of its humility to the mud; The reason why bamboo has won the reputation of "being hammered" is because of its humility to steep cliffs. Learn to be modest. Modesty is a charm and an open mind. Modesty is Su Dongpo's calmness of "not listening to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why not sing slowly, and bamboo shoes are lighter than horses"; Modesty is Tao Yuanming's detachment of "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge and seeing Nanshan leisurely"; Modesty is Du Fu's feeling that "there are thousands of spacious buildings, and all the poor people in the world are happy". The eagle learned humility in the storm so that it could spread its wings in the sky. When we learn humility, our hearts will become broader.
Learn to be modest, modesty is a kind of cultivation. Throughout the Three Kingdoms, an era of heroes and a confusing history. But how many heroes fell in a pool of jealousy? Zhou Yu, a generation of talents. Because he was narrow-minded and could not tolerate others, he vomited blood and died at the age of 36. Before he died, he raised his voice and sighed, "If you were born, why should you know!" I think, if Zhou Gongjin knew humility at that time and attacked Wei with Kong Ming, I'm afraid the history of the Three Kingdoms will be rewritten.
Learn to be modest. Modesty is a quality. While learning to be humble to others, we should also learn to be humble to ourselves and life. In the face of life's setbacks, we should learn to be modest and be grateful when necessary. How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Don't lose your enthusiasm for life because of setbacks, and don't lose your courage to survive because of setbacks. Learn humility, and it will be our sail to success. Tai Shigong's humility to life completed the Historical Records, which is called "The Historian's Last Song, Li Sao's No Rhyme", Beethoven's humility to life completed the world-renowned Symphony of Destiny, and ostrovsky's humility to life completed the work How Steel was Tempered.
A modest life, a modest nature. It is precisely because of it that the admiration of "even the spring tide in the sea and the bright moon on the sea * * *" came into being; There is a feeling that "only the breeze on the river, the bright moon in the mountains, and the ears are stained"; Only then can there be the magnificence of "Lonely sunset in Qi Fei, the autumn water and the sky are the same color".
We should learn to be modest. Modesty is not a boat, it goes with the flow; Modesty is not duckweed, swaying in the wind; Modesty is not a bunch of epiphyllum, which is fleeting. Modesty is eternal, and that is why the world is full of harmony.
