The more cultured people are, the more modest they are!

As the saying goes: "When the sky is crazy, there will be rain, and when people are crazy, there will be disaster."

Don't be arrogant when dealing with people. You must know that "the wood in the forest is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." If you are too crazy, you will definitely offend people and get into trouble sooner or later.

The wind and water turn, and things are unpredictable. People who once looked down upon may have succeeded and flew to the branches to become a phoenix; People who used to laugh at them may rise to the top, get money and gain power.

So people should not be too arrogant. "People have no good days, and flowers have no red days." Too crazy will suffer sooner or later.

Low water is the sea, low people are kings, and the humbler people are the nobler.

Don't look down on anyone, tolerate the shortcomings of others, think about the benefits of others and help others. This is how the blessings are accumulated.

The best accomplishment is humility.

Arrogant people often have some money, power or reputation. If they think they are superior, they will be arrogant and arrogant.

There is a thought-provoking sentence in Zeng Guofan's letter: "Family defeat cannot be separated from a luxury word, people can't be separated from an easy word, and people can't be separated from an arrogant word."

Pride and extravagance are the beginning of a family's decline; Arrogance is the beginning of a person's decline.

The more virtuous, the more humble.

Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, has warned his son many times: Be a low-key person.

He said:

Keep a low profile, in order to avoid trees, in order to avoid being the target of others' attacks. If you don't show yourself too much, you won't arouse the hostility of others, and others won't capture your truth.

On one occasion, 30 mainland entrepreneurs asked Li Ka-shing for business advice. Li Ka-shing greeted them humbly and answered patiently. When someone inadvertently speaks Cantonese, Li Ka-shing immediately corrects him to speak Mandarin so as not to be understood by mainland friends.

When he left, Li Ka-shing personally sent them downstairs and bowed respectfully until they left. So humble, unlike a billionaire.

"Humble benefits, full losses", it is precisely because of such humility and low-key, generous to people, Li Ka-shing has been prosperous for decades.

Truly successful people are humble, because in their view, there is nothing to show off in this life. Always be grateful, normal and compassionate, and be kind to everyone, and the road of life will be wider and wider.

The more modest you speak, the more blessed you are.

In life, we often meet some arrogant people: you are not as good as him, he looks down on you, belittles you and is mean to you; Your life is better than his. He spreads gossip, satirizes you, satirizes you.

Happiness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth. Arrogant people often spit evil words, cut people's hearts like sharp knives, and ultimately hurt people and themselves.

And humble people often spit lotus flowers, which warm people's hearts like spring breeze and rain, and often make good luck and make life more and more smooth.

Dongpo Zhi Lin has a story. Su Dongpo and monk Fo Yin are good friends. Once, they meditated together. Su Dongpo suddenly asked, "Fo Yin, what do you think I look like when I meditate?"

Fo Yin said, "Like a Buddha."

Su Dongpo was quite proud, making fun of Fo Yin and saying, "In my opinion, you meditate like a lump of cow dung." Fo Yin listened to smile, not angry.

After returning home, Su Dongpo proudly told Su Xiaomei about it. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaomei said: "Fo Yin has a Buddha in his heart, so everything in the world is a Buddha;" And you only have cow dung in your heart, so everything is cow dung. "

What you said is a reflection of your heart.

Only people with ugly hearts will say cold and vicious words that hurt people and make people feel chilling; People who have compassion in their hearts will speak softly and comfort and warm people with humble tone, which makes people feel beautiful.

Bad words hurt people, good words warm people's hearts, and words are karma. If you want to increase your happiness, you must first learn to accumulate good words and say good things.

A humble life is the noblest.

There is a couplet on the left: make a first-class wish, get a middle-class marriage and enjoy a second-class blessing; If you choose to stand tall, sit flat and walk wide.

It means: when you are alive, you should cherish the ambition of Lingyun, enjoy the happiness of ordinary people; Look at problems from a long-term perspective, be humble and gentle with others, and leave room for everything.

The higher the realm, the more humble and simple it is, not arrogant and rude. Because they know that there are people outside, and there are days ahead.

There is an interesting story circulating in Peking University. At the beginning of school, a new rural student was running around with a big bag of luggage. He was so tired that he suddenly saw an old man. He thought it was a security guard, so he asked the old man to look after his luggage, and he went through the immigration formalities.

Half a day later, when the students came back from the formalities, the old man was still in the same place, taking care of his luggage under the scorching sun.

Later, the students learned that the "security guard" who dressed simply, was humble and polite, and helped him look after his luggage was the famous master of Chinese studies, Ji Xianlin.

Ji Xianlin is really modest and simple, unlike a talented master who has been wearing a Chinese tunic suit for decades. He refused the reputation that everyone admired and just wanted to be a down-to-earth scholar and lead an ordinary life.

He has repeatedly resigned from the three laurels of "Master of Chinese Studies", "Academic Leader" and "National Treasure". He said: "I won three laurels and was free. The foam on my body was washed away, revealing my true face, and everyone was very happy. "

Zeng Guofan said: "Humility and tolerance are your appearance." The more noble people are, the more humble and simple they are, because they understand:

The world is mysterious, the universe is vast, and people are really as small as ephemera in the vast time and space. Only by modestly lowering your head and practicing constantly can you achieve perfection.

In life, no one wants to praise or step on anyone.

Things like chess, unpredictable and radiant, may suddenly rust; People who are trapped in the trough may one day climb to the top and have unlimited scenery.

Therefore, no matter rich or poor, no one needs to look down on anyone. To keep a humble heart and be kind to others is to accumulate blessings for yourself.
