As the saying goes: "If the sky is crazy, there will be rain; if people are crazy, there will be disaster."
When dealing with the world, you should not be arrogant or arrogant. , Be arrogant, you must know that "the trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." If you are too crazy, you will definitely offend others and get into trouble sooner or later.
Feng shui is changing, and things are unpredictable. People who were once looked down upon may become successful and fly up branches and become phoenixes; people who were once laughed at may become rich and powerful.
Therefore, you should not be too arrogant and arrogant in your behavior. "A person is not good for a thousand days, and a flower is red for a hundred days." If you are too arrogant, you will suffer disaster sooner or later.
The low water is the sea, the low man is the king. The humbler the person, the nobler he is.
Don’t look down on anyone, tolerate others’ shortcomings, think of others’ benefits, and help others’ difficulties. This is how blessings accumulate.

Arrogant people often have a certain amount of money, power or reputation. They think they are superior to others, and they become arrogant and arrogant.
There is a sentence in "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter" that is thought-provoking: "When a family is in ruins, there is no word for luxury; when a person is in ruins, there is no word for ease; when people are displeased, there is no word for pride."
Arrogance and extravagance are the beginning of a family's decline; arrogance and arrogance are the beginning of a person's decline. The highest goodness is like water, and kindness is carried by everything. The more cultivated a person is, the more humble he is.
Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, has repeatedly warned his son: A big tree attracts attention, but a low-key life.
He said: Only by keeping a low profile can you avoid being a big tree and attracting the wind, and can you avoid becoming the target of others' attacks. If you don't show yourself too much, you won't arouse the hostility of others, and others won't be able to capture your reality.
Once, 30 mainland entrepreneurs asked Li Ka-shing how to do business. Li Ka-shing greeted them humbly and answered patiently. Someone accidentally spoke Cantonese, and Li Ka-shing immediately corrected him and asked him to speak Mandarin so that his mainland friends would not be confused. Understand.
When leaving, Li Ka-shing personally sent them downstairs and bowed respectfully until they left. Being so humble and humble is completely unlike a billionaire who has everything to do with everything.
"A modest person will benefit, but a full person will suffer losses." Because of his humility, low-keyness, and generosity towards others, Li Ka-shing has been prosperous and blessed after decades of hard work in the business field.
Truly successful people are humble, because in their view, there is nothing to show off in this life. Only by always being grateful, normal, and compassionate, and treating everyone kindly, will your life be successful. It gets wider and wider as you go.

We often encounter some arrogant people in life: you are not as good as him, he looks down on you, belittles you, and is mean to you; He is good, he spreads rumors, ridicules you, and satirizes you.
Blessings come in from the mouth, and misfortunes come out from the mouth. Arrogant people often spit out evil words, which cut into people's hearts like sharp blades, ultimately hurting others and themselves.
Humble people often spit lotus flowers out of their mouths, which warm people's hearts like spring breeze and rain. They often bring good luck and their life becomes smoother and smoother.
There is a story recorded in "Dongpo Zhilin". Su Dongpo and the monk Foyin were good friends. Once, the two of them were meditating together. Su Dongpo suddenly asked: "Foyin, do you think I look like meditating?" What?"
Foyin said: "Like a Buddha."
Su Dongpo was quite proud and teased Foyin: "In my opinion, the way you meditate is like a Buddha. A pile of cow dung." Foyin smiled lightly after hearing this and was not angry.
After returning home, Su Dongpo proudly told Su Xiaomei about this matter. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaomei said: "Foyin has a Buddha in his heart, so everything in the world is a Buddha; but in your heart there is only cow dung. So everything you see is cow dung.”
What you say is a reflection of your soul. Only people with an ugly heart will say cold and cruel words that hurt others and make people feel chilled; people with a compassionate heart will speak soft words with a humble tone, soothing, warming and making people feel beautiful.
Bad words hurt people, but kind words warm the heart. Talking creates karma. If you want to increase your blessings, you must first learn to accumulate virtue and speak well.
.
Meaning: When you are alive, you should have high ambitions, be content with fate, and enjoy the ordinary blessings of ordinary people; you should have a long-term perspective when looking at problems, be humble and gentle in dealing with others, and leave room for everything.
The higher the realm of people, the more humble and simple they are, rather than domineering, arrogant and rude. Because they understand that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
There is an interesting story circulating in Peking University. At the beginning of the semester, a newly enrolled rural student was running around with a large bag of luggage. He was really tired and suddenly saw an old man. He thought he was a security guard. He asked the old man to help him look after his luggage while he went through the enrollment procedures.
Half a day later, when the student came back from completing the formalities, the old man was still there, with the scorching sun on his head, helping him look after his luggage.
Later, the student learned that the plainly dressed, humble and polite "security guard" who helped him look after his luggage was the famous Chinese classics master Ji Xianlin.
Ji Xianlin is indeed humble and simple, unlike a dazzling master. He wears a Chinese tunic suit for decades. He refuses all the enviable reputations and only wants to be a down-to-earth scholar and live an ordinary life. A common life.
He has repeatedly resigned from the three laurels of "Master of Chinese Studies", "Leader in Academic Circles" and "National Treasure". He said: "Picking off the three laurels gave me a sense of freedom." The foam was washed away and the true face was revealed, and everyone was happy.” >
The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast and vast. Human beings are as insignificant as a mayfly in the vastness of time and space. Only by humbly lowering your head and practicing continuously can you reach the realm of perfection and beauty.
In life, no one needs to praise anyone or put anyone down.
The world is like a chess piece, ever-changing. A person who shines brightly may be rusty in the blink of an eye; a person who is in a trough may one day reach the top and enjoy unlimited glory.
Therefore, no matter rich or poor, no one needs to look down on anyone else. Keeping a humble heart and being kind to others will accumulate blessings for yourself.
