How to subdue arrogance

There are three principles in traditional Chinese culture, namely, the ruler, the minister, the husband and the wife, and the father and the son. I used to think that they are traditional dregs, but now I think that they are really very useful. Western culture promotes individuality, Chinese culture is to maintain the idea of mediocrity, these may be for me personally, learning is not deep enough, so I do not dare to talk too much. But in overcoming the psychology of "arrogance", I am learning to tell my personal experience in order to make myself more refined.

I myself have a very heavy mentality of arrogance, I went to high school often to "crazy teenagers" as their motto, the university is not so proud, but they know very well that I have always been a proud person, the work of the past few years, and colleagues often, arrogant to treat people, do not know the importance of the word humility, like to argue with people, and often blush, but I do not know what to say. Argumentative, often red in the face. Even for the boss's behavior and accusations, blabbering, very wild. Now think about it, it is really incomprehensible, as if the mouth of a child, it is against the parents teach! I'm sorry that the teacher taught the teaching.

How to change it? First of all, repentance, before all kinds of such as yesterday's death, today all kinds of such as today's life! Yesterday's mistake today is not in the model, the ancients said "not two wrong". Secondly, from the root of their own hearts to change, think about the enlightenment of Master Yin Guang, "look at all the people are Bodhisattvas, only I am a mortal," to put down the self, my heart so I am slow, there is a "I" word so that will rise arrogant mentality. Again, kowtowing to parents, kowtowing to one's elders, is not a feudal superstition, this traditional ritual can recognize that we put down the stature of the lower, lower themselves, put down the arrogance of the psychological excellent way.

Finally, think about the Tao Te Ching in a sentence "good as water, water and all things without controversy", the water is always flowing to the lowest place, the most low-lying places, but all life on earth can not be separated from the water, the water lack of people do not have arrogance.

I hope I can be modest and cautious, and my heart is like water.

Please criticize and correct me if I am wrong! I'd like to thank you for all the good work you've done!
