This is a very common thing in today's society: a man who is not very rich, in order to "face" in front of his colleagues, keeps overdrawing with his credit card. I won't elaborate on the method. He was finally caught and owed 350,000 yuan, which doesn't include what his father helped him pay back. What did he spend money for? It turned out that he bought some mobile phones at a high price and then sold them to his colleagues at a low price, setting up an image of "big money". Paper can't cover fire, now we just need to see how many years he was sentenced.
There are not a few people who capsize and trip over vanity. In ancient times, the story of wiping your mouth with oil was used to remind vain people, but there were still people who were excessively vain.
I clearly remember when I was in primary school, a group of students spent all their free time in Internet cafes in order to be better at the game, which led to the opposite trend of learning and his game level, and then it was hopeless.
From this perspective, there seems to be a close relationship between excessive vanity and self-control. People who stumble obviously have little self-control. Take the first story in this article as an example. There are many people who want to "save face", such as people who buy big mobile phones. Aren't they also showing off? But only the rich have uncontrollable vanity. So are my classmates. To tell the truth, I also want to compete with them in the game, but I just thought about it, but they "dare to think and do" and become "giants in the game and dwarfs in reality."
We should and should remember that blindly insisting on satisfying vanity will be counterproductive. It is good to want to be respected. You can surpass others with your real strength, but you must never satisfy yourself with excessive vanity!
