And there is no shortage of vain and conceited people in life, smart people will humbly ask others for advice, get growth, such people will only wander in the illusion of arrogance, do not know how to forge ahead.

Let's take a look at the joke: there is a Ph.D. who has just graduated and has been assigned to a state-owned enterprise, and is the only doctoral student in the unit. One day, he went fishing in the small pond behind the unit, and it happened that Section Chief Li and Section Chief Wang of the same unit were also fishing. The two section chiefs are both junior college and self-examined, so he doesn't really want to deal with them. The three of them were speechless all the way.

After a while, I saw Section Chief Li put down the fishing rod, stretched his waist, and walked from the water to the opposite toilet like a fly. The Doctor's eyes were wide open. Floating on the water? No way? It's a pond. When Section Chief Li came back from going to the toilet, he also floated back from the water. What's going on? The doctor was embarrassed to ask, he was a doctor! After a while, Section Chief Wang also stood up, walked a few steps, and floated across the water to go to the toilet. At this moment, the doctor almost fainted: No, to a place where the masters of the rivers and lakes gathered? After a while, the doctor was also anxious.

There are walls on both sides of this pond, so you have to go around a big circle to get to the toilet opposite, and it's too far to go back to the unit, what should I do?

The doctor was also reluctant to ask the two section chiefs, and after holding back for a long time, he also got up and stepped into the water: I don't believe that others can cross the water, so I can't cross. With a thud, the Doctor fell into the water.

The two section chiefs pulled him out and asked him why he wanted to go into the water, and he asked:

"Why can you walk over there?" The two section chiefs looked at each other and smiled: "There are two rows of wooden stakes in this pond, and because it has rained in the past two days, the water is just under the water. We are all familiar with the location of the stake, so we can step on the stake.

How can you not ask? ”

This story teaches us that everyone should be humble and ask for advice from others, and not always be self-righteous and think that they can understand it at a glance. Respect for experienced people in order to avoid detours. Learning with an open mind is the most basic way to improve yourself. One of the most necessary conditions is to have a sincere and humble attitude in order to be able to learn from others. There is a kind of person who is still hateful, has shortcomings that he does not understand, and when others point them out to him, not only do not listen to them with an open mind, but become angry and take revenge. This will not only hinder one's own progress, but also develop the original problems and incur adverse consequences.

There is such a story:

There were many people sitting in a room talking about someone's character, and one of them said, "This man is good for everything else, but there are two things that are bad: the first is that he is always angry, and the second is that he is reckless." ”

But the man said had just passed by the door, and when he heard these words, he immediately went into the house, raised his hand and struck at the man who was talking about him, and said, "When have I ever been angry and angry, and when have I been reckless?" ”

Many people said to him at the time: "Isn't your current behavior enough to prove your anger and recklessness?" ”

Without the heart to tolerate others, and without the courage to face their own shortcomings, they only like to listen to good words, turn a blind eye to their own shortcomings, and do not pay attention to them, this kind of person is only confined to his own small circle, deceiving himself and others, and in the long run, even the original little pleasing thing has been lost, and it will only attract resentment. I'm afraid not many people dare to have fellowship with this kind of sincerity! Just like the man in the above story, he doesn't even know his own shortcomings, and when others mention it, he is still very angry, saying that it is made out of nothing. Isn't this kind of person pathetic?

Usually narrow-minded people will not listen to the opinions and suggestions of others, even if they are wrong, they will not accept it because of face or jealousy of others' talents, and people who are truly humble and tolerant of others are afraid that their shortcomings will not be pointed out. In fact, everyone is not perfect, as long as you know where you are wrong, and correct it, change bad habits, and improve your personality and character, this kind of person will be welcomed by everyone. Put down a little, listen to the teachings with an open mind, and correct your mistakes in work in a timely manner, so that you can gradually improve your own level. Confucius said: "Threesomes must have my teacher." "A person who is arrogant and conceited and does not know the depth will never have a teacher in his eyes, and he will never learn anything useful from others.
