An example of arrogance when you hear praise.

1, in ancient Greek legend, Achilles, a famous hero in the Trojan War, had an impeccable body. This is because when he was a child, his mother used to immerse him in the Styx, which has magical effects.

However, because his mother was holding his heel and soaking him in the river, his heel did not touch the river, which became a weak link in his body and a fatal place. Later Achilles was shot in the heel by Paris and died. It can be seen that if a person only knows his own advantages and ignores his own shortcomings, even a small shortcoming may be fatal.

2. 1644, Li Zicheng's insurgents occupied Beijing and overthrew the Zhu Ming dynasty which ruled for 276 years. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, his military discipline was strict, and he basically maintained the true colors of the peasant army. However, in the process of victory, he became proud. Not only did he not have a clear understanding of the complicated and changeable situation in the northeast border.

I didn't even think about how to deal with the Qing army, nor did I take necessary preventive measures against the increasingly serious corruption of my subordinates and soldiers. Military commanders are busy "chasing troops to help pay", civil servants are busy opening imperial examinations, and soldiers are addicted to victory, thinking that the battle is over and they can rest easy.

As a result, the insurgents lost their fighting spirit. Due to the support of the Qing army to Wu Sangui, the Li Zicheng Rebel Army was forced to retreat to Beijing, and the Qing army pushed the capital. Li Zicheng's failure in the Shanhaiguan campaign changed the situation greatly, and Ming officials who surrendered to the rebels came out to resist.

In the second year of Shunzhi (1645), the red artillery of the Qing army attacked Tongguan, and Li Zicheng was defeated, so it retreated to the south and entered Hubei via Xiangyang, trying to unite with Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty in Wuchang. Zuo Liangyu went east to Nanking, went to the "Jun Qing side" of Nanming court, and was on his way to conquer Ma Shiying and die. Li Zicheng entered Wuchang in April, but was defeated by the Qing army. Finally died in Jiugong Mountain, Tongshan County, Hubei Province.

3. The rabbit has four legs. It jumps up and runs fast. The tortoise has four legs, too. Climb, climb, climb slowly. One day, the rabbit met the tortoise and said with a smile, "Tortoise, tortoise, let's have a competition, shall we?" The tortoise knew that the rabbit was joking with him, staring at a pair of small eyes, ignoring it and not stepping on it. The rabbit knew that the tortoise was afraid to race with him, so it jumped with its ears open.

The rabbit spread its legs and ran really fast, and soon ran far away. Looking back, he found that the tortoise had only climbed a short distance. He thought, it is a big joke that the tortoise dares to race with the rabbit! Me, sleep here and let him climb here. No, let him climb to the front. I caught up with him in three jumps.

The rabbit woke up and looked back. Hey, why is the tortoise missing? Looking forward to it again, oh, great! The tortoise has climbed under the big tree. The rabbit looked worried and hurried to catch up, but it was too late. The tortoise won. The tortoise won.

Don't compare your own advantages with others' shortcomings, because the result of such comparison is nothing more than complacency and conceit, which leads to contempt for others. Only a comprehensive and objective comparison can complement each other. You know, the strong are always strong, and the strong are always strong.

Children who grow up in a loving and safe atmosphere are easy to be sure of themselves. In order to let others know his achievements, he will openly express his satisfaction and ignore others' feelings. In real life, children who have good academic performance and are often praised by parents and teachers are generally prone to pride. I can always point out other people's problems at will, but I can't see my own. They don't listen to other people's well-meaning criticism, and they are always in a blind sense of superiority.
