As the old saying goes, all bets are off, but humility benefits. The semantics of Shangshu Dayu Mo —— Complacency attracts losses and humility benefits. Later, Chairman Mao made the past serve the present in his article, that is, "Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind".

In other words, modesty will make people progress and pride will make people fall behind. "

Political theory:

Dialectically looking at things, everything has two sides, and things are determined by the main aspects of their main contradictions. When quantitative changes accumulate to a certain extent, qualitative changes will occur, so we have humility to make people progress and pride to make people lag behind.

Examples are:

A painter came all the way to Famen Temple and told abbot Shi Yuan: "I am bent on learning from painter Dan Qing, but I haven't found a satisfactory master yet. Many people are nominal, and some painting skills are not as good as mine. " Release circle and sum

Shang listened to a faint smile and asked for "live broadcast". The painter asked what to paint, and Shi Yuan said that the old monk's greatest hobby was to drink tea with tea, so the benefactor drew me a teapot and a teacup. The young man finished painting in a few strokes.

Now, an inclined teapot is slowly spitting out a pulse of tea and pouring it into the teacup, vividly. I didn't expect the monk to make a mistake and put the cup on the teapot. The young man said that the master had

No mistake, no cup can fill the teapot with water. Shi Yuan smiled and said, "So you know this truth! You long for your cup to be filled with those artists' fragrant tea, but you always put your cup aside.

Higher than those teapots, how can the fragrant teas be poured into your cup? Only by lowering yourself can you get a stream of water, and only by lowering yourself can you learn the wisdom and experience of others. "After hearing this, the young man suddenly realized.

During the Warring States Period, King Zhao of Wei asked for a sage, and Guo Kun, a senior counselor, seemed to imply that if you treat others as teachers, people who are a hundred times better than yourself will come. If you treat others as friends, then people ten times stronger than yourself will come; If you treat others as subordinates, then people with similar abilities will come; If you bosse around and shout, you will only attract servants and slaves.

Modesty, whether for itself or for a country's cause, is both beneficial and harmful. Mao Zedong once said that modesty makes people progress and pride makes people lag behind.
