The wind and water turn, and things are unpredictable. People who once looked down upon may have succeeded and flew to the branches to become a phoenix; People who used to laugh at them may rise to the top, get money and gain power.
So people should not be too arrogant. "People have no good days, and flowers have no red days." Too crazy will suffer sooner or later.
Low water is the sea, low people are kings, and the humbler people are the nobler. Don't look down on anyone, tolerate the shortcomings of others, think about the benefits of others and help others. This is how the blessings are accumulated.

The best accomplishment is humility.
Arrogant people often have some money, power or reputation. If they think they are superior, they will be arrogant and arrogant.
There is a thought-provoking sentence in Zeng Guofan's letter: "Family defeat cannot be separated from a luxury word, people can't be separated from an easy word, and people can't be separated from an arrogant word."
Pride and extravagance are the beginning of a family's decline; Arrogance is the beginning of a person's decline. The more virtuous, the more humble.
Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, has warned his son many times: Be a low-key person. He said:
"Keep a low profile, so as not to catch the wind, so as not to become the target of others. If you don't show yourself too much, you won't arouse the hostility of others, and others won't capture your truth. "
On one occasion, 30 mainland entrepreneurs asked Li Ka-shing for business advice. Li Ka-shing greeted them humbly and answered patiently. When someone inadvertently speaks Cantonese, Li Ka-shing immediately corrects him to speak Mandarin so as not to be understood by mainland friends.
When he left, Li Ka-shing personally sent them downstairs and bowed respectfully until they left. So humble, unlike a billionaire.
"Humble benefits, full losses", it is precisely because of such humility and low-key, generous to people, Li Ka-shing has been prosperous for decades.
