Arrogance will stumble and arrogance will be ignored.

Zeng Guofan said: "all talented people in the world, ancient and modern, were defeated by a proud word;" All the mediocrity in the world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, have been defeated by a lazy word. All kinds of ills stem from laziness. Avoid arrogance and laziness, and the way to protect your family is also. "

How to get rid of pride?

The first is to find the source of pride. According to my analysis, there are three kinds of pride: one is the pride of sticking to the truth. The second is the pride that every bar should be lifted. The third is the pride of being lazy to change.

Regarding the pride of upholding the truth, I think it must be adhered to. Just like Socrates in ancient Greece, he was sentenced to death because he did not give up his theory. Although he had a chance to escape, he chose to drink poisonous wine. To die proudly in order to uphold the truth is a manifestation of aristocratic spirit. In China, there is never a lack of this spirit, just like Yue Fei who died because he insisted on the Northern Expedition, and Su Shi who was exiled several times because he insisted on his own political views. However, this spirit is getting less and less, and more and more people insist on the civic spirit of focusing only on interests and ignoring right and wrong.

As for the arrogance of every bar, this is the lifestyle of the bar elite, often a group of losers. In order to show their superior IQ, bar elites express their opinions no matter what others say, and they must "argue according to reason" in order to be witty and think they are brilliant, but they are nothing. The pride of the elite has nothing to do with talent. Gangsters are really mediocre, but they just refuse to admit it.

The pride of being lazy to change is actually laziness and needs to be really treated. For example, if you put forward a work plan, after discussion, you feel that it needs to be optimized or even rejected completely. You don't want to change it any more. You gave reasons for not changing it. People will think you are proud, and you are arrogant and don't care about the overall situation. Spend more time to revise and polish, and you will definitely get a better plan.

Those who persist in the first kind of pride have succeeded. Sticking to the second kind of pride is not worth teaching. Adhere to the third kind of pride, you must get rid of laziness, and you will open the door to success.
