Don't be complacent after your success. Pride may make people lose everything they have achieved before.
Fu Cha, the king of Wu, defeated Gou Jian, the king of Yue, only once. He did succeed, but he didn't think about whether he would win again in the future, and he took Gou Jian lightly. I am conceited, too. I don't think Gou Jian, the King of Yue, wants to make a comeback, thinking that he has no strength, but the final outcome is that "three thousand Yue families can swallow Wu." Fu Cha's pride finally killed him, and his pride finally led to his failure.
There is an idiom called "pride goes before a fall", and so does the hero Fu Jian. In the 19th year of Jianyuan, Fu Jian led more than 900,000 soldiers to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, there was a politician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty named Xie An, who was very talented. Fu Jian's invasion is likely to fail. However, Fu Jian did not listen to dissuasion and still attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the end, he was trapped and had to run away. Why did Fu Jian lose? It is because of his conceit and pride. This also verifies Heywood's sentence: "Proud people will fail one day."
Pride can lead to failure, and modesty can make people progress. If you keep a modest attitude, you will get closer to success step by step, even more than once. Yao Ming is a familiar figure. As a star, Yao Ming suddenly became the boss. From 2008 to 2009, Yao Ming changed from "Yao Giant" to "Gold King" in China and even in the world. This is another success of Yao Ming, but he was not carried away by the joy of success, not immersed in it, but arranged reasonably and lived a relatively simple life.
Like Yao Ming, he didn't feel complacent because he was a basketball star, but treated all this with a normal heart, and later became the "king of gold" again. He was not complacent, but he succeeded modestly again.

However, the kings of Wu, such as Fu Cha and Fu Cha, believed in themselves too much to notice the harm that threatened them. As a result, they failed. Proud people will not embark on the road to success in the end, but on the door to failure.
As the saying goes, "All bets are off, but modesty benefits". Pride will make people lose some important things, while modesty will make people gain a lot of useful wealth. The greater the pride, the more arrogant, and the more tragic the failure. So don't be proud, pride makes people fall behind.
