As the saying goes, "Scarcity is precious."
Most people will understand this way: noble people are like precious metals, which are difficult to obtain; just like lotus in the mud, they are unique, like a humble gentleman.
In fact, a person's appearance is superficial nobility. The true nobility of is to bow down and is also scarce.
Where we cannot see, there are always people who support us silently. When we find them, we will naturally be respectful.
The more humble a person is, the more noble he is. Humility is not incompetence, but hidden and growing and transcending without showing off.

humbles people and benefit endlessly.
"Shangshu " has a saying : "Fullness brings harm, humility brings benefits."
A person lowers his attitude and when dealing with people, he can hear the other party's criticism, thus getting the opportunity to correct it and not make a big mistake.
No matter how powerful a person is, even if he has the ability to see all directions and listen to all directions, he cannot see clearly that there is dust on his face and does not know that there is dirt behind his ears. Only by relying on the eyes and wisdom of others can you see yourself.
Usually, we have the habit of hearing the huge sound of a carriage in the distance, and we can tell that it is an empty carriage. But the master is just the opposite. He is always unknown and doesn’t care much about fame, fortune and wealth.
When Emperor Yao was in power, the ministers around him recommended Shun. Shun was very filial to his parents and hardworking.
In order to respect Shun, Emperor Yao married his two daughters and asked his son to be his assistant. Usually, Emperor Shun visits him as a minister.
"Zhuangzi" records that Emperor Yao visited the wise man Xu You many times to inquire about the big things in the world.
Once, Emperor Yao asked, "Can I be the emperor of Neu Que?"
Xu You said, "No, Neu Que is smart and smart, and talented, but he likes to distinguish things with his own standards..."
It is not difficult to find that Emperor Yao was able to receive praise from future generations because he was not his own strength, but because he had "experts" around him. These masters are willing to help him because he is very humble, often bowing his head to ask for advice and taking the initiative to accept criticism.
Guiguzi said this view: "If you want to be in a higher position, you will be silent when you hear the sound."
A truly noble person has been moving to a higher level, but he will not be proud, but will borrow the wisdom of the master and walk hand in hand with the master. Although he is better than ordinary people, he is never exposed.
People's wisdom is like flowing water. Only when your posture is low will other people's wisdom flow continuously. You are the person who truly benefits, just like the sea gathers in all rivers.

is humble to ordinary people and mutually beneficial.
Spring and Autumn , there was a minister named Zhengguo , who was very wise.
In order for the people to live a good life, he implemented the land system reform to make the city and rural areas different, and to have boundaries on the land and standardize the construction of houses. Three years later, the people were well fed and fed, and gave him a thumbs up.
For a while, Jin State wanted to attack Zheng State and sent an envoy uncle to inquire about the situation.
Zichan met Shu Xiang, not only did he not panic, but he also wrote a poem to show his friendship. The poem says : "Zi Hui misses me, and she wears clothes and wades. If I don't think about me, I won't have other people."
The friend is here, this is a feeling of longing. Don’t talk about wars or holidays. This friendship moved my uncle very much, so he persuaded King of Jin to cancel the attack plan.
Confucius After knowing this, he praised : "The " Book of Songs " says that there is no competition for people. Zichan is the only one who is called Zheng State."
In a place, because there are wise people who are managing it, they can be developed; Zichan is in Zheng State, and disasters are far away. This is not the credit of Zichan alone, but his goodness in getting close to ordinary people and making friends.
has a very ugly word called "market people".
People who are arrogant are habitually looking down on ordinary people and think that their adults are villains. In fact, they do not understand the principle that "water can carry a boat and can also overturn it."
A noble person, if he wants to go to a high place, he must have a pattern of "everyone can pick up firewood". Do something with everyone and get rich together. Over time, everyone becomes stronger, and as the leader, they will naturally become stronger.
The tree is thousands of feet tall, and you cannot forget your roots. If there are no roots that cannot be seen, there will be no forest scenery; if there is no water to conquer the mountains, the mountains will be deserted.
Humility to ordinary people is actually a principle of "giving roses to others and leaving fragrance in your hands". If you insist on doing it, life will inevitably be fragrant.

Humble to your family, unite and be friendly.
In ancient times, Dong Yong sold himself to a landlord's house as a hired worker and buried his father.
Seven Fairies was moved by Dong Yong's filial piety. He came down to earth and got married with him. The couple returned the family, cultivated the land, planted vegetables, weaved cloth and became rich. Leave a magical fate.
When Emperor Shun was a child, his family disliked him very much. Once, his father arranged for him to dig a well. His father and his brother poured soil into the well together, trying to bury him, so he dug a tunnel from the side and escaped. Although his family was cruel, Emperor Shun believed that he had made a mistake and angered his family, and he should have regretted it.
Later, Emperor Shun's filial piety moved the world.
We often say: " filial piety is the first of all virtues ."
But, how to be filial? Being filial to parents is not only about giving money and accompanying them, but also about gathering with your family. If you always quarrel with your brothers and sisters, and are not strict in discipline, which will lead to your children learning badly, this is something that makes your parents feel disappointed. It also goes against filial piety.
Bow your head in front of your family and communicate humbly, and you will get the understanding and help from your family. Over time, you will become the real pillar, which is admirable.
All the family members give you a thumbs up, this is the most real wealth.

Feng Jicai wrote in "Peace of low-key is self-confidence": "Low-key is to live in your own world, and high-key is to live in other people's world."
Everyone wants to be themselves, but how to be themselves? It is not to let yourself be above others and do whatever you want, but to lower your attitude, serve others, and show your character and achievements.
When everyone strives for a high position, it is scarce if you take the initiative to go downhill.
When everyone shows off loudly, you keep quiet, which is very prominent.
The bird wants to fly high and flap its wings first, and the person wants to advance and bow his head first.
