Humility is an Art (Masterpiece)

They never use a coercive attitude, nor do they use sharp corners to treat others.

They are modest and understand that their status is lower, so they can get along with others harmoniously.

Therefore, he is remembered as the first man to step on the moon, and his words are still globally renowned.

However, few people know that at the same time as Armstrong, there was another man who walked on the moon, that man was Aldrin.

After returning to Earth, at a press conference, a reporter suddenly asked Aldrin a sharp question:

'As the second person to land on the moon, do you regret that you were not the first one?'

Under the gaze of everyone, Aldrin politely smiled and answered:

'My dear, although I am not the first person to step on the moon, please don't forget that I was the first to come out of the return capsule.'

Therefore, I am the first extraterrestrial person on Earth!

Aldrin did not blame his colleagues for taking the spotlight, but showed his maturity and generosity, which won the hearts of everyone present.

This humorous remark conquered everyone's hearts, and everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Confucius said: 'Show your maturity, don't show your foolishness.'

Modesty is a state of mind and a way of life.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a talented man named Yang Xiu under Cao Cao's command. He was very talented and quick-witted.

However, Yang Xiu was too arrogant, so he gradually disliked Cao Cao.

Once, Cao Cao ordered people to build a garden. After the garden was completed, Cao Cao was satisfied, but he wrote the word 'live' beside the gate.

After Cao Cao left, Yang Xiu had people change the gate of the garden to make it narrower.

The people who built the courtyard were puzzled, so Yang Xiu said:

'You can see the word 'live' that the master wrote beside the gate, which is a character 'kuo' – it means the gate and 'live' together, so the gate and 'live' are one character. This is to tell you that the gate is too wide, you must narrow it.'

A few days later, Cao Cao visited the garden again, and he found that the gate had been narrowed, and he praised it repeatedly.

When he learned that it was Yang Xiu who had given the order, he was annoyed.

Again, during the attack on Liu Bei, Summer Hoth, a general of Cao Cao, asked Cao Cao about the password at night.

Cao Cao casually said the word 'chicken ribs'.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiu heard this password and immediately ordered people to pack up their belongings and prepare to retreat.

Summer Hoth was very puzzled.

Yang Xiu explained:

'You wrote 'chicken ribs' – it means a 'chicken rib' is a tasteless and worthless thing, and it's a pity to throw it away. The master doesn't want to fight this battle, although he didn't say it directly, he doesn't want to fight this battle.'

Summer Hoth believed his explanation, so he ordered people to pack up and prepare to retreat.

This news reached Cao Cao, who was furious, so he ordered Yang Xiu to be executed for inciting sedition.

Yang Xiu was intelligent, but he was always arrogant, and he didn't pay attention to humility, which eventually led to his death.

It is often said: 'Boldness if restrained, wisdom if foolish.'

Don't show off unnecessarily, don't show off your cleverness in vain.

Modesty is the best state of being.

In the Analects, it is written: 'Speaking with people is warmer than wearing silk; hurting people with words is deeper than a spear.'

It is more important to be sincere and modest, and to respect others.

Modesty is a skill!
