There are some fables about complacent people.

From Aesop's fable.

The pheasant Tianshan Mountain is beautiful, covered with colorful feathers, shining in the sun, dazzling and amazing. Pheasants are also very proud of this Yu Hua and pity his beauty.

When it walks in the mountains, as long as it comes to the water and sees its own shadow in the water, it will dance and proudly appreciate its unique dance reflected in the water.

When Cao Cao was in the reign of Emperor Wu of Wei, someone gave him a pheasant from the south. Cao Cao was very happy. He called a famous musician and played a beautiful tune for him, so that the pheasants could sing and dance.

The musician blew hard and beat hard, but the pheasant didn't buy it at all, turned a deaf ear, didn't sing or jump. Cao Cao's men brought delicious food and put it in front of the pheasant. The pheasant didn't even look at it, and walked around with his head drooping listlessly.

In this way, no matter how hard we try, we can't make the pheasant dance. Cao Cao was very disappointed and angry. He reprimanded his men and said, "There are so many of you that you can't even deal with a pheasant. How can you do great things? "

Cao Cao has a very fond little son named Cao Chong. Cao Chong grew up smart, well-read and knowledgeable. By this time he moved his head and had an idea. He went to Cao Cao and said:

"Dad, I heard that pheasants are always proud of their feathers, so when they see their reflection in the water, they will dance to appreciate their beauty. Why not ask someone to move a big mirror and put it in front of the pheasant, so that the pheasant can take care of itself?

You can dance automatically. "Cao cao clap your hands and say wonderful. He immediately had the biggest mirror in the palace moved and put it in front of the pheasant. When the pheasant strolled to the mirror, he saw his incomparable beauty at a glance, which was much clearer than what he saw in the water.

First, it flapped its wings and sang excitedly to itself in the mirror for a long time. Then it twisted its body, lengthened its pace and danced. Cao Cao was stunned by the charming dance of the pheasant. He repeatedly high-fived, forgetting to ask someone to take the mirror away.

Poor pheasant, admiring the shadow, tirelessly and endlessly sings and dances in front of the mirror. Finally, it finally exhausted its last strength and fell to the ground and died.

Pheasants are really beautiful, but they are too vain to be fooled. We can't let vanity and competitiveness overcome reason, or we will be defeated.

2. Proud fox

From Aesop's fable.

Sparrows are singing and dancing happily in a big tree in the forest. A fox passed by and saw it. He said contemptuously, "you little thing have no skill." What are you happy about? " The sparrow is unconvinced: "You can't do anything I can. I can dance on the branches, can you? " The fox said, of course, dancing is very simple. You can dance anywhere.

Sparrows are singing and dancing on the branches, and other animals can't help clapping their hands. The fox climbed the tree, danced like a sparrow, and fell down before standing firm. All the other animals laughed. The fox said to the smiling rabbit, "you are a small and ugly thing." How dare you make fun of me? " The rabbit decided to compete with the fox to see who could pass through the zebra herd without being found, and the fox lost.

The fox came to the pond and saw the sloth. He laughed at him and said, "You slow little thing, what else can you do if you walk so slowly?" The sloth decided to compete with the fox to see who could climb the pond. The fox said it was difficult, and then went to the pond. The sloth is too late to stop it.

It turned out that the fox fell into the swamp, the proud fox sank deeper and deeper, and the fox was dying. Just when the soil was about to drown the fox's head, small animals rushed to help the fox. They cut down a thick vine and threw it into the swamp. The fox grabbed the vine desperately and climbed to the shore in panic. He felt so ashamed that the little animals helped him regardless of the past. He was very moved.

3. Tortoise and Rabbit Race

From Aesop's fable.

The rabbit boasted about his speed to the animals. "I have never failed," he said. "When I run, no one is faster than me." The tortoise said quietly, "I want to compete with you." "This is a joke. I can race with you while playing. " Said the rabbit.

The race started, and the rabbit was gone in a blink of an eye, but he felt that he was running very fast, so he took the race lightly and fell asleep on the side of the road.

The tortoise walks slowly, but keeps walking. When the rabbit woke up, he saw that the tortoise was near the finish line. The rabbit lost the game. Moral: Pride goes before a fall; Only by perseverance can we achieve our goal.
