One day, Socrates' disciples gathered in a chat, and a rich student, in front of all his classmates, boasted that his family owned a wide field near Athens. Socrates, on the side, took out a map and said, "show me the trouble. Where is Asia minor?" "This big movie is all." "The student said proudly pointing to the map. "Very good! So where is Greece?" "Asked Socrates. The students struggled to find a small piece on the map, but compared with Asia, it was too small. "Where is Athens? "Asked Socrates. "Athens, it's even smaller, as if it were here." "The student pointed to a small point. At last Socrates looked at him and said, "now, show me, where is your vast field?" The students were sweating profusely, and his fields were not even glimpsed on the map. Embarrassed, he replied, "I'm sorry, teacher, I was wrong!" The story tells us a lot of things. What we have is nothing compared to the great universe. When we can face everything with a humble heart, it is a truly noble sentiment. How to overcome conceit, learn to be modest? First of all, accepting criticism is the best way to overcome your ego. Swellhead weakness is not willing to change their attitude and accept other people's opinions, accept criticism is not entirely subject to others, just asked to accept the correct views of others, by accepting criticism, to change his overweening attitude. Secondly, we should get along with people equally. Conceited people usually regard themselves as god, no matter on the ideas or actions are asking others to obey their rudely, equality is to ask yourself as an ordinary members of society status equal exchanges with others. Third, improve self-knowledge.To know yourself fully, you should not only see your strengths and strengths, but also your weaknesses and weaknesses. Recognize that the self cannot be evaluated in isolation and should be examined in society. Everyone living in the world has its own uniqueness, there are others not as good as place, at the same time, there is not as good as others, and people are not always compare their strengths to the shortcomings of others, the others are useless. Fourth, you should look at your conceit with a vision of development. You should see your own past, and your present and future. The glorious past cannot represent the present or the future.
有一天，苏格拉底和39；门徒聚在一起聊天，一个有钱的学生在所有同学面前夸耀他的家庭在雅典附近拥有广阔的天地。苏格拉底在一旁拿出一张地图，说：“把麻烦给我看一下。”。小亚细亚在哪里？&学生指着地图自豪地说。&很好！希腊在哪里？&苏格拉底问道。学生们很难在地图上找到一小块，但与亚洲相比，它太小了。&雅典在哪里？&苏格拉底问道。&雅典，它甚至更小，就好像它在这里一样。学生指着一个小点。最后苏格拉底看着他说：“现在，让我看看，你广阔的领域在哪里？”？&学生们大汗淋漓，地图上甚至看不到他的田地。他尴尬地回答说：“对不起，老师，我错了！&这个故事告诉我们很多事情。与宇宙相比，我们拥有的是一无所有。当我们能以谦卑的心面对一切，那才是真正高尚的情操。如何克服自负，学会谦虚？首先，接受批评是克服自我的最好方法。自大的弱点是不愿意改变自己的态度，接受别人的意见，接受批评不完全服从别人，只要求接受别人的正确意见，通过接受批评，改变自己过于自负的态度。第二，我们应该和人民平等相处。自负的人通常把自己视为上帝，无论在思想上还是行动上都是要求别人粗暴地服从自己，平等就是要求自己作为一个普通的社会成员与他人平等地交流地位。第三，提高自知之明。要充分认识自己，不仅要看到自己的长处和长处，还要看到自己的短处和短处。认识到不能孤立地评价自我，而应该在社会上加以审视。生活在这个世界上的每个人都有自己的独特性，有别人不如地方的，同时也有不如别人的，人也不是总拿自己的长处和别人的短处比较，别人是没用的。第四，要以发展的眼光看待自己的自负。你应该看到你自己的过去，现在和未来。光荣的过去不能代表现在和未来。
