Why is it said that pride makes people fall behind, while humility makes people progress?

Humility is a traditional virtue in China throughout the ages. Mao Zedong once said: "Humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind." A proud person will always destroy himself in his pride. He will blindly admire himself in the mirror, brag, and get into trouble.

If you only focus on exaggeration and misrepresentation, in the end, everything will come to nothing. The greatness of a person is to know that he is insignificant. Franklin, the great American physicist, was diligent in invention and creation throughout his life and won no less than a hundred titles, but

His tombstone is engraved with a few simple words he wrote for himself during his lifetime: Tomb of Franklin the Printer. "Only an open mind like bamboo, a tenacity like a cowhide band, and a passion like a fire can produce truly immortal things."

Art. When Li Xiang of the Tang Dynasty read "Spring and Autumn", he mispronounced a word. The clerk waiting on the side frowned. When Li Xiang met him, he asked why he frowned. The clerk implicitly told him: I

When my teacher taught me to read this book, I made a mistake in reading one word. Today, I understood how to read it as soon as I heard you read it." Hearing the implication, Li Xiang said: "No, I didn't receive any guidance from the teacher. If I read it,

Wrong, it must be me and not you." After saying this, he asked the junior official for advice. After the junior official explained the whole story in detail, Li Xiang called the junior official a "one-character teacher". Isn't this the embodiment of humility? As the old saying goes:

If you are full of losses, you will be benefited if you are poor. If you are weak, you will receive it, but if you are not, you will not receive it. This is the eternal nature of things. In today's society, humility plays a very important role. In learning, the enemy of learning is one's own satisfaction, so we must study hard.

Things must start with dissatisfaction. For ourselves, we should be "never tired of learning" and for others, "never tired of teaching." We should adopt such an attitude. Dissatisfaction is an upward wheel and a driving force for progress, which can carry people who are not complacent.

Move forward towards humanity. If a person does not overestimate himself, he will do much higher than he estimates. Therefore, in life, we must maintain a humble heart to view everything in the world, at all times

Don't think you know everything. There are many wonders in the world. As long as you have the courage to explore, pursue hard, and discover the wonderful world with your heart, you will definitely gain something and achieve something. Wisdom is a gem, if it is edged with humility, you will

More radiant and dazzling! However, not everyone can understand the true meaning of the word modesty.

A classmate was elected as the monitor by his classmates based on his level, ability and work enthusiasm.

If he says "I can't", he will be called "humble"; if he says "I can do a good job for the class", he will be called "crazy".

In fact, this is a misinterpretation of the word "humility". We need real "humility", not those false humility or humility that lacks self-confidence.

Everyone knows that the "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" was written by Wang Bo in the Tang Dynasty, and has always been praised by people. There is also a story. That year, Wang Bo went home to visit relatives and passed by Jiangxi. It happened that the local prefect asked someone to write the preface to Tengwang Pavilion.

Many people were invited to the banquet, but no one dared to agree. Wang Bo volunteered, and the whole hall was shocked. Many people looked at him with contempt, but Wang Bo didn't care. If Wang Bo also politely declined like the others,

Can we still appreciate the "Preface to the Fujio Pavilion" today? Today's society is in a period of reform and innovation. We must throw away that unnecessary "humility" and bravely pioneer to change the backwardness of our country. We should inherit and

Carry forward "humility", but we must understand under what circumstances we should be humble.

In life, we should not be too modest, but should confidently devote ourselves to life and play a moving movement.

On the other hand, pride is the bane of backwardness ~~
