In the process of interpersonal communication, humble people are always able to be welcomed by others at every turn, while those who are arrogant and flamboyant are usually very disgusting and tired. Confucius said: "Threesomes must have my teacher." This means that there must be something worth learning from among others, so we should learn from others with an open mind and make up for our own shortcomings.

Humility is a human virtue and a necessary quality and quality for every successful person. The reason why a low-minded person is popular is that he puts himself in a very low position and does not hesitate to ask others for advice. As the founder of IT, Bill Gates and his team have created one myth after another that has surprised the world. But Bill Gates, who has achieved such brilliant results, is not complacent and unexpected, and his humble character has finally been admired by the world.

Once, due to the needs of work, Microsoft specially assigned a staff member to prepare a speech for Bill Gates. The staff member said that before each speech, Bill Gates carefully annotates himself, and carefully prepared and practiced the speech. And after each speech, I would come down to communicate with him and ask him, "Where did I speak well today and where did I speak badly?" And I will also take out a notebook and carefully write down where I made mistakes, so that I can correct and improve them next time. We can't help but admire Bill Gates' modesty, it is really rare for a person who is so successful in his career to be able to learn so humbly. Because a lot of people become arrogant after some success, and it's really rare to see someone as humble as Bill Gates.

As the saying goes, "Humility benefits, full losses." "Those who are arrogant and try to show off themselves will always run into walls and get blocked at every turn. Yu Qian is a recent college graduate, not only handsome and generous, but also enthusiastic and cheerful. He decided to find a job that had to do with interpersonal relationships so that he could make better use of his strengths.

One day, Yu Qian got a job posting by reading the newspaper, which was a three-star hotel recruiting front desk staff, and he decided to give it a try, so he went to the hotel the next day. He was received by the PR manager, who presided over the interview, and it was clear that the manager was quite satisfied with Qian's handsome appearance and infectious enthusiasm, and finally the manager decided to keep Yu Qian as long as he met the requirements of several key indicators of the job.

At this time, the manager began to ask: "Our hotel often receives foreign guests, so the front desk staff must master the four Chinese, can you achieve it?" "I studied foreign languages at university and am fluent in French, German, Japanese and Korean. My foreign language grades are quite good, and sometimes the professors have difficulty answering the questions I ask. Yu Qian replied.

But in fact, Yu Qian's foreign language scores are not as good as he said, he is in order to gain the appreciation of the manager and flaunt himself. But he underestimated the interviewer, and before he submitted his resume, the company had already collected detailed information about him, including Yu Qian's college transcripts.

Hearing Yu Qian's answer, the manager just smiled, but this was obviously not an appreciative smile. The manager then asked: "To be a qualified front desk staff, you also need a variety of knowledge...... Before the manager's words were finished, Yu Qian preemptively said: "I think these are not problems, my ability and knowledge are the best among the people I know, and I can definitely be competent as a front desk officer." ”

After listening to his answer, the manager stood up and said solemnly: "I deeply regret your performance today, because you did not explain your abilities truthfully. And your English is not as good as you say it is, and your ability is no more than that. Young man, remember, don't talk exaggerated, you must know that there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and you still have to be humble. I'm very sorry, but our company needs honest, humble people, obviously you are not suitable. As the saying goes, "The sea does not give up its water, so it can become big." "Only those who know how to be humble can understand that life is endless. Life is impermanent, we can't expect ourselves to be invincible forever, and only people who know how to be humble can be recognized and trusted by others. If a person shows off himself excessively, it is often a sign of shallow ignorance, and people will only spurn and stay away from him.
