Once upon a time there was an ant with great strength, and there had never been an ant like this since the beginning of the world, and it could carry two grains of wheat on its back without difficulty. If it is brave, its courage is unprecedented, it can bite maggots like a vice, and often fights a spider single-handedly. It didn't take long for it to become famous in the ant mound, and the talk of ants was almost impossible to get away with this Hercules.

Slowly, the ant's mind was filled with words of praise, and it was bent on going to the city to show its skills and win the reputation of the Hercules. One day he climbed aboard the largest hay cart, sat down beside the driver, and went into the city like a king.

However, the eager ant Hercules touched the ash of his nose! It thought that people would come from all directions, but the ant found that everyone was paying no attention to it, and the people in the city were busy with their own business. The ant Hercules finds a leaf and drags it on the ground, and it somersaults and jumps nimbly, but no one looks at it and no one notices.

Therefore, when the ant did his best to play martial arts, he complained: "If I think that the people in the city are all confused and blind, am I unreasonable?" I have demonstrated all kinds of martial arts, why is it that no one gives them the attention they deserve? If you come to us, I'm sure you'll know that I'm famous in the whole anthill. ”

Don't think that you are the strongest person in the world, and you don't think that you are better than others in every way, it is impossible.

People who love vanity always want to be the best in every aspect, and in order to save their face, they often deliberately exaggerate their abilities and show off their strengths, in fact, this is a manifestation of self-indulgence. Others may be inferior to you in this aspect, but this does not mean that you are better than others in all aspects, and perhaps in some aspects you are not just a distance from others.

There were two jars in the king's cupboard, one of pottery and the other of iron. The proud tin pot looks down on the clay pot and often ridicules it.

"Do you dare to touch me, clay pot?" Tin Tank asked arrogantly.

"Don't dare, Brother Tin Can." The modest clay pot replied.

"I knew you wouldn't dare, cowardly thing!" The tin can showed an even more contemptuous look.

"I really don't dare touch you, but that can't be called cowardice." The clay pot argues: "We were born with the task of holding things, not bumping into each other. I'm not necessarily worse than you when it comes to fulfilling our duties, and ......"

"Shut up!" Tin Can said angrily, "How dare you compare yourself to me!" You wait, in a few days, you will be broken to pieces and destroyed, but I will always be here, not afraid of anything. ”

"Why do you say that," said the clay pot, "we are still in harmony, and what are we arguing about?" ”

"I'm ashamed to be with you, what are you?" "We'll see," said the tin can, "I'm going to smash you to pieces someday!" ”

The clay pot is no longer bothered.

Time passed, many things happened in the world, the dynasty fell, the palace collapsed, and the two jars were left on the desolate grounds. History is covered with dregs and dust on them, century after century.

One day, many years later, people came here and dug through the thick pile and found the clay pot.

"Yo, there's a jar here!" One person said in surprise.

"Really, a clay pot!" The others cried out with joy. Everyone picked up the clay pot, brushed off the soil on its body, and scrubbed it clean, exactly the same as when they were in the imperial cupboard, simple and beautiful.

"What a beautiful clay pot!" One person said, "Be careful, don't break it, it's an ancient thing, it's valuable." ”

"Thank you!" The clay pot said excitedly, "My brother tin pot is next to me, please dig it out, it must be stuffy enough." ”

The people immediately started to dig up all the earth, but there was no trace of the tin can. It, I don't know what age, has been completely oxidized and has long disappeared without a trace.

God is fair, everyone in the world has their own strengths and weaknesses, instead of comparing their own strengths with the shortcomings of others to fight for face, it is better to frankly admit their shortcomings and give face to others.

There is a world-class violinist who never speaks when he is teaching people to play. Every time a student finishes playing a piece, he will play it again himself, so that the students can learn the technique of playing the violin from listening. He always said, "The sound of the piano is the best education." ”

Every time the violinist takes in a new student, he usually asks the student to perform a piece on the spot, which is a welcome gift for himself, and he also listens to the student's background before grading. On this day, he accepted a new student, and everyone was stunned when they heard the piano sound, because this student performed quite well, and the sound of the piano was like heaven. When the student finished playing, the teacher stepped forward with the piano as usual, but this time he put it on his shoulder and did not move for a long time.

Finally, the violinist took the piano off his shoulder, took a deep breath, and walked off the stage with a smile on his face. This move surprised everyone, and no one knew what was happening. The violinist said, "You know what? This kid is so good that I'm afraid I'm not qualified to guide him. At least on this piece, my performance would be misleading. ”

Suddenly, thunderous applause rang out. Applause to the student because of his extraordinary talent, but even more to this teacher because of his broad mind! Just ask: How many people can have such courage and mind? What's more, this is a violinist, and in front of so many students and parents, he can admit that he is inferior to his students without caring about his own face, and his spirit is really admirable!

People who love vanity, for the sake of face, do not hesitate to belittle others and put gold on their faces; For the sake of face, they are accustomed to strong words and self-proclaiming, they think they are great, and they think that others are inferior to themselves. Be modest. Be honest and you can win face for yourself.

In many cases, it is not that we have not mastered the art of recognition, but that we have lost the feeling of recognition. Because we are afraid that if we admit that we are inferior to others, we will lose face.

In a narrow circle, some people are very arrogant, think that they are great, very good, and look at everyone who feels inferior to themselves and is not pleasing to the eye. Some people believe that they are superior to others in a certain aspect, and they are domineering in their words and deeds, which seems to be very untouchable. Such people, despite their strengths, do not know how to be low-key and one day meet opponents.

has a little ability to go crazy and then goes crazy, on the surface, it seems to be crazy a little "reasonable", in fact, this is a shallow gas that does not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky. They don't understand the truth that there is a sky outside the sky and a mountain outside the mountain, and they are arrogant and always want to show their hands in the first place. As everyone knows, what awaits these people can only be a big one.

If you are just a talent, don't be a talent, if there is a lack of talent, you should work hard to make up for it.

The real reason for pride is not because they are well-educated, but because they don't know enough about themselves, they may have a little bit of ability, and they always think that they are the best in the world, which is a weakness that is difficult to overcome.
