It Pays to be Modest
Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.Joseph Addison once said. Modesty can not only make someone look beautiful and well-mannered, but also serve as a guarantee to ones excellent character. It is obvious that people tend to lose their fine qualities if they are not modest.
Simple as Addisons remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of modesty. why does modesty play an indispensable role in our life ? Modesty can inspire people to achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements, instead, they will work constantly to achieve a higher target. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of modesty, however, I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Benjamin Franklin, who was once a printer of humble origins, attain tremendous achievements in so many fields such as science, politics, literature and navigation if he was simply content with small achievements?
We should always bear in mind that modesty will prompt us to go farther. Accordingly, at no time should we be satisfied with our small accomplishments, instead , we need to keep an open mind to accept new things, absorb new information, acquire new knowledge and seize new opportunities. Success consists in industry and modesty. A philosopher once said.
