How to master the balance between self-confidence and humility?
On the road of personal growth (or personal cultivation), there are always many contradictions to be weighed or grasped. This is the topic of humility. We say that "humility" is a virtue and "confidence" is the basic element of success.

So, how can we correctly grasp the "confident" mentality and "humble" posture? ..... confident but not proud, humble but not self-abased. There are both confident and humble attitudes. Humility: often hidden in the deep heart. Self-confidence: It must be an external behavior. Humility reflects a person's self-cultivation and needs a rich cultural foundation.

Modesty has no negative influence on individuals, and it will also be considered to have traditional virtues. If in another situation, such as job hunting, the two sides don't know each other, and the other side knows nothing about you, what job will you get if you still modestly say that your level is low and your ability is poor?
