Lower Yourself

Many years ago, a philosopher in Rome told his student that if they wanted to reach the peak, they have to start from the lowest part.
When you join a big enterprise, you start from a low position. Then through long years, you reach a high position step by step.
Decades ago, there was a young man, who one day went to his school mate who lived in village with his father, who was a fish man.
Everyday the fisherman went to sea to fishing. This young man followed. In fishing, the young man asked the fisherman: “Why the sea can have so many fishes?” The fisherman replied: “It is because the sea is big.” The young man asked: “Why the sea is so big?” Fisherman answered: “The bottom of the sea is the lowest in the world.” The sea can take any amount of water without overflowing. You shall never know how deep is the sea.
In our life, we learned from books “Tolerant is great.” That means we should have a broad mind in dealing with people.
Lower ourselves is important in our daily life. That is to behave humbly and speak politely. To learn from the sea bottom which depth we never know.
