Chapter 385: Humility
[Inner Domain, Golden Candle City, Crimson Crane Pavilion, Night Time]
~Always have your feet firmly planted on the ground and stay humble. Don’t look down on others, no matter how less well-off they appear. Remember, the one you look down on today might be the person you have to look up to tomorrow. Such is life.
Such a powerful way to speak! This is the best way to learn. It sounds self-deprecating on the surface because you have to stay humble. However, if you try to get into the real meaning, it isn’t ignorant and unsophisticated at all.
This isn’t about being humble to the point of self-deprecating; this is about humility, a freedom from pride or arrogance. People who don’t brag about their accomplishments, or if they recognize and acknowledge their weaknesses, will learn more and receive more.
It’s important to be humble in order to meet new people, make connections with them, and learn from them.
Humility also teaches you that, at the end of the day, mistakes are what make you human—not perfect beings without flaws. Mistakes are a part of life; that’s why we all have them. The only difference is how we treat them.
When you make a mistake, don’t be afraid to point it out. Doing so builds self-confidence in the most important part of yourself: your ability to learn and grow. If you’re able to accept your mistakes, then you’ve already learned something from the experience.
When your mind is open to anything and everything, you’ll learn more and grow more. This is why you should never look down on others. If you think positively, you might be able to learn something from those you look down on.
Everyone took a deep look at the figure in a plain red hanfu. (Yueyue didn’t wear sect uniforms.)
She wasn’t the most beautiful woman, she wasn’t the strongest, and she wasn’t the righteous one. However, she has a heart that is as deep as an ocean, a heart that shows compassion to others. A heart that can’t be compared.
"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. So, get out of here before I beat you like a tofu. I don’t think that you deserve to be the master of this peacock." Shenlian Yingyue ignored Huang Bai Xing, whose face turned as pale as a pig’s liver.
