be humble My one week holiday, out of the 5 weekdays, I had to go back on 3. Haha, but it is still much better than waiwai who, after tomorrow, went back for all 5 days. Journeys to school are always so long and boring with nothing to do. Reluctant to read my lecture notes also. In the end I picked up reading: "The New Human Revolution" again. A small paragraph I read today which I liked very much... The French historian, Jules Michelet (1798-1874), wrote: "The more life mixes with lives different from itself and the more it joins itself with other existences, the stronger, happier, and more fruitful is its own existence." In other words, it is by encouraging and inspiring one another in the vast ocean of humanity that we become human in the truest sense.The abstract was from The People, the translated version by John P. McKay. Not everyone can be always right. Quite oppositely, anyone can be your teacher. Therefore it is important to be humble. Listen and learn from others and then self-reflect. Remaining stubborn and refusal to listen to others' advices will not get us anywhere. Labels: precious lesson to learn 0 commentsComments: |
