We are afraid of being full of anger, and we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity in our work
One day, Confucius took his students to visit the Zongmiao Temple of Lu Huangong. In the temple, he saw a vessel with a leaning body that could be used to hold water. Then he asked the temple keeper, "Tell me, what kind of vessel is this?" The temple keeper told him: "This is a vessel, a vessel placed on the right side of the seat to guard oneself, as in the case of the "motto" used to sit with him." ”

When Confucius heard this, he continued, "I have heard that this vessel will fall over when it is not filled with water or when it is filled with little water; when the water is moderately loaded, it will be upright when it is not more or less; and when the water is too much or full, it will also overturn." After saying that, he turned his head and asked the students to pour water into it to try. After listening, the students scooped water to try it, and sure enough, as Confucius said. When the water is moderately loaded, it is upright; when it is too much or full, it will tip over; and when the water is exhausted and empty, it will tilt. At this time, Confucius sighed a long time and said, "Alas! Where in the world are there things that are too full to fall over? ”
Our hearts are also like this instrument, self-evaluation is too low will not be able to lift their heads to be a person, self-evaluation will be moderate will be positive to face life, self-evaluation is too high will run into walls full of water overflow, full of months is a loss. To be a person, you must have a long-term vision, and you can't be tripped by a small achievement and lead to the final failure.
When the water is full, it overflows
