Rainbow is beautiful, but life is short; This stone bridge has a long life, but its shape is not beautiful. What is commendable is that they respect and praise each other instead of exposing each other's shortcomings with their own advantages. Isn't this beautiful fable telling us that "the feet are short and the inches are long"?
Everyone can't be perfect, nor can they be worthless. Although the ruler is longer than an inch, it is sometimes not long enough; Although the inch is shorter than the ruler, it is also useful when playing.
"Gold is not full of red, jade is slightly flawed" and "fools get what they think" all illustrate this truth. There is an interesting record in Historical Records. One day Liu Bang chatted with Han Xin and asked Liu:
"Who can love me and Qing?" Han said, "If you lead the troops, you are not as good as me. I believe that there will be more soldiers. " Liu asked again, "Why is Qing under my control?" Han said, "It's not good to be a good general." Han Xin's answer is really wonderful, that is, to protect the face of the emperor Lao Zi. To tell the truth, everyone has his own strengths. No wonder Liu Bang laughed with pride. Edison and Einstein are both great scientists, but the former is good at invention and creation, while the latter is good at theoretical research. If any nosy person insists on avoiding its strengths and taking its weaknesses, forcing one of them to engage in theoretical research of nuclear physics and the other to engage in the invention of practical items, then the development of human civilization will be delayed for many years!
Among our classmates, there are top-notch subjects and everything is handsome, but I'm afraid it's rare. Most students have both "long" subjects and "short" projects. Even those students with poor grades are bound to excel. Rong Zhixing and He Zhuoqiang didn't do well in school, but it can't be denied that they are good at sports and later won glory for their country. Confucius said it well: "In a threesome, there must be a teacher." Since everyone has strengths and weaknesses, we should correctly understand ourselves and treat others. We should neither belittle ourselves or even give up ourselves because we are not as good as others, nor be arrogant because others are not as good as ourselves. Only by learning from others with an open mind and learning from each other's strengths can we make real progress.
Short and flat, no one is perfect. May each of us, like a rainbow and a stone bridge, have a humble heart and contribute more talents to the four modernizations!
