Modesty

The opposite of modesty is proud and we know that proud will lead us to failure. Therefore, it is so important to keep ourselves always in a state of modesty. Only by modesty, we can then keep ourselves in a peaceful life and at the same time it will bring us success in any field.
In our Chinese old saying: “Modesty gains benefit, and proud brings failure.” We also know one slang that any angry person will not knock a person who is smiling.
But, if you have a rude character, you will easily argue with other people, even in fighting. The consequence will be that either you lie in hospital or in jail depending on what situation you are.
Modesty is not to show other people in purpose. You have to perform your modesty at very natural way. Listening more, speaking less. Do not teach other people as a teacher. Always keep yourself in silence which means not to speak unnecessary words. If you can do so, you have already reached at a standard of modesty.
Modesty means that you will always keep a peaceful mind. You will not make decision in a hurry. It is because you always have a cool mind in heart, and in head. As long as you are always with the word of modesty, you surely will have no disaster or trouble in your whole life.
