Proud and Modesty Argument 1 The antonym of pride and modesty, at all times and in all countries, has attracted many celebrities' comments. There are so many epigrams related to his famous words that they are used so frequently that other words are far behind. For example, Montesquieu, a French thinker, said, "Modesty is an indispensable virtue." Indian writer Tagore said: "When we are very humble, it is our recent greatness." Shakespeare said, "Proud people always destroy themselves in pride." For example, the famous domestic sentences are: "All bets are off, but modesty benefits", "Modest bamboo has a crooked leaf, while proud plum has no back flowers". Military strategist Zhuge Liang said: "Only those who are not proud will be proud, and those who are not spoiled will be overbearing." Marshal Chen Yi said: "Niu Yi should not sell itself short, and complacency will be destroyed." Mao Zedong said, "Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind. We should remember this truth. " , and so on, too numerous to mention. Consensus, praising modesty and restraining arrogance, liking vanity and hating arrogance, and having a clear attitude are all wise sayings. However, they only talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the two. But who is proud of it? What is modesty? How to define the gap between pride and modesty and how big it is have not been drawn yet. How to be a man? How can we be neither proud nor modest?
In real life, some people sow the seeds of modesty and reap rich fruits; Some people's pride is still in their hands, and the bitter fruit is on their heads. There are still many people who are careful between pride and modesty, for fear that they are not sure, that they are too modest to appear hypocritical, or that they are arrogant. There are no people on both sides, and there is no good fruit to eat. Especially in some periods, pride is regarded as the enemy. Once you wear this hat, you will never turn over, even with your tail between your legs, you will never get sympathy.
In fact, just like knowing something, you can also split the enemy in two. Dialectical epistemology holds that any truth is relative, not absolute, and the truth is endless and in constant change and development. What's more, different cultures, different periods, different regions and different groups have different meanings and scales of pride and modesty. This is especially true in modern society.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of reform and opening up, once said, "I have some doubts about the word' pride'. Anyone who is a little self-motivated and capable always believes in himself and is a man of his own mind. The more assertive people are, the more confident they are. This is not bad. A little proud. Put him in the right place and he will be modest, otherwise he will not get along. " This can be said to be one of the few celebrities who rehabilitated their pride! We should be proud of many things. China has become rich and powerful, and its influence in the world is increasing day by day. We should be proud of our motherland. Parents should be proud of their children's achievements; We should be proud of the wisdom of leaders when the unit turns losses into profits; There are celebrities in this province, and the people should be proud of outstanding people. If you can be proud of the country, the collective and others, why not be proud of yourself? Isn't the collective made up of individuals?
After the reform and opening up, under the conditions of market economy, it is reasonable and legal to advocate commodity promotion and encourage commodity advertising, and "Pharaoh sells melons and boasts himself". In the competition for leadership positions, you put forward your own policy agenda, policy objectives and countermeasures to prove that you are competent and better than others. Therefore, some people ridiculed: "Pride makes people progress, and modesty makes people fall behind." It's ugly, but it makes sense. Good wine fears the deep alley. In that case, "pride" is ok. Enhance self-confidence and increase my ambition.
So, what is pride? Tradition holds that: complacent, boastful, self-righteous, arrogant, arrogant, and so on. What is modesty? It is generally believed that: learn with an open mind, never be satisfied, be quiet, treat others equally, and so on. If this is the case, I like modesty and hate arrogance, and it is entirely appropriate to keep modesty and get rid of arrogance.
Just, how to distinguish? If you are afraid to say that you are proud, too modest, know how to say that you don't understand, and that you won't, then you should advance and retreat. You should be happy and worried. There is nothing wrong with saying that you are cheating. If you flatter and laugh at everyone, are you modest? If you lack self-confidence, even feel inferior, and give in humbly in the face of competition, can you succeed? If you are cautious and obscure, dare not be the first, are not sure of your achievements, and do not make necessary publicity and introduction, I am afraid you will miss many opportunities and lose to yourself and society.
On the other hand, if you have original ideas, unique ways of thinking, unique ways of struggle and superior creativity, can you say that he is proud? Once successful, self-promotion, self-promotion and social recognition are not necessarily pride? Don't bow to everyone, do whatever they say, flatter them, or go against their wishes, don't listen to them, don't follow the crowd, be unique, don't be enthusiastic about people, talk without laughing, and don't be arrogant? Why do we have to have a thousand people and not allow multiple personalities and lifestyles? Should artists and scientists be like ordinary people? Of course, he is better than you. You are ignorant, but you like to speculate and despise you. You deserve it!
It seems that our way of thinking should also keep pace with the times, develop and innovate, and have characteristics and diversity. Otherwise, we will fall behind.
