As the old saying goes: "The ruler is short, the inch is long, the things are insufficient, the wisdom is unclear, the numbers are not grasped, and the gods are not clear." While maintaining self-confidence, we should always remind ourselves not to be proud of ourselves. big. Only by constantly enriching and improving oneself, even if you lose at the starting line, you can gradually catch up halfway and win at the finish line.
As a graduate of the National Key University of Project 211, I used to feel that I was well educated, that I could do better than others, and that I could not tolerate doubts from others. His vision is so high that he naturally cannot see the strengths of others. This mentality of not being able to see the strengths of others finally taught himself a painful lesson one day.
I remember that when I first joined the work, I could describe my state of mind at that time as being proud of myself. I work in the administration and do clerical work. At one meeting, some high-level leaders were invited to participate, and the meeting documents written by me were sent to the leaders. Then several leaders whispered to each other, and I was kept in the dark. After the meeting, my leader in charge called me to his office for a lecture. I was very touched by my strong self-esteem. I got confused with the names of the leader and what he cared about in the original document. The anger of the leader can be imagined. In the later work, I understand that I have to understand and understand, or I am not ashamed to ask.
Now I understand: arrogance is not the mentality we should have. Although the impetuousness of society has created the arrogance of many people around us, we still need to calm down and be more humble.
I once heard such a story: There was a scholar crossing the river on a ferry. As soon as the boat left the river bank, the scholar saw the pennies on the boat and asked the ferryman: "Can you play the flute?" "I can play the flute, He can only play with the penny for punting." The boatman said with a smile. "If you don't even know how to play the flute, you will lose 10% of the meaning of your life." Xiucai said in a joking tone. The boatman just punted the boat and kept silent. When Xiucai saw the cables on the boat, he asked the boatman seriously: "Can you play the qin?" "I don't know how to play the qin, I can only play with the cables on the boat." "If you don't even know how to touch the piano, you will lose 20% of the meaning of your life." The scholar said in a contemptuous tone. The boatman ferried with all his strength, bowed his head and remained silent. The scholar saw the wild ducks flying among the reeds not far away, recited Wang Bo's famous lines casually, and asked the boatman dismissively: "Can you write poetry?" Your shoes are quite wet." Said the boatman cheerfully. "If you don't even know how to write poetry, you will lose 30% of the meaning of your life." The scholar said in a mocking tone. Talking and talking, the boat arrived in the middle of the river. At this moment, the heavy rain was pouring, the river surged with huge waves, and the boatman was about to capsize. He tried his best but was powerless, so he hurriedly asked the scholar: "Can you swim?" "I...I can't... ..." Xiucai couldn't help but turn pale with shock. "You can't even swim. It seems that you will lose 100% of the meaning of your life." The boatman said in a helpless and helpless tone. Before the words fell, the ferry was overturned by the big waves. Naturally, only the boatman swam ashore.
The truth left to us by the story is worth pondering. We all have our own strengths at work. We must not be arrogant and arrogant, let alone judge people as "flat" with our own narrow-mindedness and vision. We must learn to see the strengths of others and learn from others. Looking around, all capable and strong people are always humble and behave as "students". Why can't we let ourselves bow our heads in front of our own strong people and learn from them seriously, so that we can be in Shangao? On the road of water growth, we have gained something and made a difference.
