Zou Ji, a handsome man in the past, admired himself in the mirror and asked his wives and guests if they were beautiful. They all say Zou Ji is beautiful. Later, when he met Xu Gong, a Chinese and American man, Zou Ji suddenly felt "narcissistic" and was a frog in the well. As a result, Zou Ji got the way of governing the country, so there was the famous "Zou Ji satirized the king of Qi" and the saying of "defeating the imperial court". Among them, Zou Ji has a modest heart. Because of this, there is one less narcissist and one more famous remonstrator in the world. With a modest heart, the King of Qi accepted the suggestions of his ministers. Because of this, there is one less incompetent emperor and one more enlightened monarch.
Modesty can make your mouth clear, your eyes bright and your heart clear.
Confucius, an eternal sage, is well-read and knowledgeable, but he is not ashamed to ask for advice, because his knowledge is lower than his own, and he said, "I am not ashamed to ask questions." He often learns all kinds of knowledge from human nature, and everyone has something worth learning, so he said, "In a threesome, there must be a teacher. Choose good and follow it, but change it if it is not good. " He also advocated: "See the sage Si Qi, see the sage and introspect." Confucius' disciples once asked Confucius, "How did you learn?" And put forward the theory that "everything can be learned". It can be seen that Confucius has a modest heart. Because of this, there is one less self-sustaining and lofty bookworm and one more Confucius saint who has influenced the ages.
Modesty can be learned and polite.
"Guan Zhong" is not the person we mentioned the most, but a retirement bag. Although Bao did not have Guan Zhong's ability to govern and build the country, he was remembered by history and praised by later generations, becoming an outstanding person and a model of honest and upright officials. If nothing else, Bao has a modest heart. Because of this, the officialdom has lost a prime minister who "lives in his position without seeking his own government" and gained a Shu Ya who knows how to make good use of people.
Modesty, you can know the shortcomings of friends, know their strengths, and be reasonable.
However, there are also many people or things in the calendar, and they shed unwilling tears because of this negativity.
The battlefield of the overlord is so heroic that it swept through and said to itself, "No battle is invincible." However, he is too conceited and arrogant. He "regretted not listening to Yafu's words", which eventually led to Wujiang's suicide, so a hero ruled by the Qin Dynasty left an eternal story of "Farewell My Concubine" in Wujiang, which made countless poets and poets lament. Without a modest heart, he lost the world he had held in his hand.
How many things in ancient and modern times can't escape the word "modesty" after all, perhaps as Bing Xin said: "When you admire yourself, the world becomes smaller."
