modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag 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!
