Modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind.

Mao Zedong, a famous politician in China, once said, "Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind." Modesty is self-knowledge and a manifestation of self-cultivation. Only by being modest can one gain the respect of others. According to legend, Bai Juyi, a famous poet in China, always reads a poem to a shepherd boy or an old woman first, and then revises it repeatedly until they clap their hands and say good. A famous poet like Bai Juyi will not despise the shepherd boy and the village woman because of their ignorance. Because he knew that real literary works must be recognized by the people, he humbly asked the people for advice, which made his poems easy to understand, widely circulated among the people and praised by future generations. Relatively speaking, pride not only makes people lag behind, but also leads to bad consequences. For example, the story of national subjugation: During the Five Dynasties, Li Keyong, the king of Jin Dynasty, held a grudge against Liang, Yan and Qidan and died. On his deathbed, Li Keyong left his son Li three arrows to avenge him. Li has not forgotten his father's legacy. When he went out to war, he put three arrows in his kit, and after his triumph, he sacrificed in the ancestral hall to motivate himself. Under this powerful impetus, Li attacked the city, destroyed the Yan and broken the beam, and defeated the Khitan, invincible. "The exuberance of spirit can be described as exuberance!" However, when the world was decided and it was done, Li became complacent and indulged in debauchery, spending all day with beautiful women. As a result, the country's fortune declined day by day. After three or five years, the disaster suddenly broke out and he was shot dead by random arrows. This story fully shows that people should not be proud. Once you are proud, if you don't clean up, disaster will happen suddenly, which is not good for you. To sum up, it is "modest benefit, all bets are off." Modesty makes people succeed and win the praise of others, while pride makes people stop making progress and leads to bad consequences. This fully shows that modesty is the first step to success. But modesty does not mean modesty, nor does it mean hypocrisy. Modesty is a virtue in the face of honor. "Modesty" is hypocrisy in order to win the reputation of modesty; Modesty in order to please others is modesty. We don't need humble modesty, we don't need hypocritical modesty, we just need real modesty. "full of losses, modest benefits." Let's cultivate the virtue of modesty and be a noble person!

Success comes from humility.

Zhuangzi said: "My life is limited and my knowledge is limited." He clearly pointed out that learning is endless. In other words, if you know "a star" in the sky, then knowledge is the whole universe, boundless. Only when a person has mastered a lot of necessary and useful knowledge will the door of success open to you. So be modest and eager to learn.

The famous scholar Descartes said: "The more you study, the more you find your own shortcomings." Yes, only by studying, expanding the field of knowledge, expanding the scope of knowledge and saving more information can you truly understand the profound meaning of "endless knowledge". In this way, you will not sell yourself short, be conceited, be modest and mature, keep making progress, and succeed uninvited.

Then, when we achieve something in our studies or careers, should we be modest? Yes! Because "modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind." Some people often get stuck in the mire because of arrogance. The ancients said it well: "Modesty benefits, profit and loss." If you make some achievements, you must be modest and eager to learn.

If you get a little success and get carried away by the immediate victory, it will ruin your hard-won achievements. Especially in our study and life, we should not be proud. The proverb says, "ninety percent of people are modest, and nine out of ten are complacent." If we are not complacent when we get good grades, we will be in by going up one flight of stairs.

Actually speaking, modesty is a virtue and a kind of accomplishment. Modesty is also one of the ways to measure a person's ideological and moral integrity. Those who are loyal to the truth are open-minded, and those who devote themselves to the people's cause are never complacent. Our beloved Premier Zhou Enlai is an outstanding representative in this regard. He can govern the country, be strong and secure, be both civil and military, but he is not modest and prudent, showing more humility and maturity than ordinary people.

Confucius saw a cultural relic in the ancestral temple dedicated to Lu Huangong. He asked the temple keeper, "What is this?" Temple Zhu replied: "This is a qo device. People put it on the side of the seat to warn them of their words and deeds." Confucius said, "I've heard about it for a long time. Empty is oblique, middle is positive, and full is opposite. " Later, Confucius asked his disciples to fill the container with water. When the water is half full, the container is upright; When the water was full, the container suddenly fell down. Confucius sighed deeply and said, "When something is full, it will be covered. The same is true of people, be modest and not complacent. "

He was not proud of Zhuge Liang's inferiority, but lowered his status and visited again and again. Zhuge Liang finally felt sincere and promised to do it for him. Liu Bei's modesty has brought the world.
