Mr. nan huaijin thinks that the more learned a person is, the more modest he will be, which is a change brought by knowledge and cultivation.
The great philosopher Plato had such a thing. Someone asked him, "Why are you so modest as a great philosopher?" Plato said: "As far as I know, human knowledge is like a circle. What you already know inside the circle, what you don't know outside the circle. You will find that the bigger the circle, the more you will find yourself lacking in knowledge. " As people say, the more mature the ear of rice is, the more curved it is, so the higher a person's knowledge, the more modest he is. The famous 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 make a difference in our study or career, 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 achievement, you will be complacent, and if you are carried away by the immediate victory, you will destroy the hard-won achievements. In our study life, we can't be particularly proud. The proverb says, "ninety percent of people are modest, and nine out of ten are complacent." When we get good grades, we won't be complacent, so we will go up a storey still higher. Modesty is a virtue, but also a cultivation. 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, and he is skilled in martial arts, both civil and military, but how modest and prudent he is shows that he is more modest and mature than ordinary people. If we want to learn from Zhou Enlai, then modesty is the first thing to learn. A truly learned person is like an ear of wheat: as long as it is empty, stand up straight; But when they are mature and full of swollen wheat grains, they bow their heads humbly and don't show their edge. Similarly, after various attempts and explorations, human beings can't find anything solid and reliable except emptiness in this complicated knowledge and all kinds of things, so they abandon their pretentious psychology and admit their original position. Think slowly when you do something. If you think carefully, you will feel it. If you slow down, you will feel it. Don't ignore it at all, even trivial and easy things should be handled with caution.
