Everyone must be familiar with the famous saying "modesty makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind"! Just like this, often failure lies in complacency. Achievements in work and study are worth celebrating. But some people tend to be complacent, self-righteous, look down on others and turn a deaf ear to their suggestions. In this way, without the help of others, you may fall behind until you fall. On the contrary, if you are not proud of your achievements and learn from others with an open mind, you will make continuous progress and success. There is a proverb: "Open-minded people regard achievements as a gas station, while proud people regard achievements as a terminal." Yes, an open-minded person has made achievements, and he will cheer himself up and strive for better results. Proud people have made achievements. They think they are great. They know everything. They are the best in the world. They are geniuses. On the contrary, talented people are often modest, just like the outstanding strategist Marshal Chen Yi, who led troops to the south and made immortal contributions to the establishment of new China, but Marshal Chen Yi is not proud of his great contribution. There is a story like this: in ancient times, there was a victorious general, and people called him a victorious general. Once, he won the battle again, and the whole city came to congratulate him. The soldiers all toasted him, and the ever-victorious general was very proud. Someone asked, "Do the enemy dare to come again?" He said nothing, holding a 250-catty cauldron in his hand, and everyone praised him in unison: "With the general's martial arts, the enemy will never come again." Since then, the victorious general has been proud. He stopped practicing martial arts and training, and only knew how to eat, drink and be merry all day. Knives and guns have rusted, and quiver has become a rat's nest. When the enemy attacked again, the general chickened out and lost without fighting, becoming a "general for his life". Why did the ever-victorious general become a "fleeing general"? It is because of his pride that the ever-victorious general won every battle. When people praised him a few words, he was relaxed all over. Since then, he has stopped practicing martial arts and training. Knives and guns have rusted, and even rocket launchers have become mouse nests. As a result, the ever-victorious general became a "fleeing general." It can be seen that the harm of pride is very great.

Students, even if you get good grades, you can't be proud. You should learn from others with an open mind and remember that "modesty makes people progress and pride makes people fall behind"!
