　　Be a Modest Person

　　As an old saying goes, “Thewise man knows he knows nothing, the fool thinks heknows all”.Truly wise men are always modest; by contrast, those who know nothing are always conceited.The wise work hard and aim at learning more to improve themselves. They cherish modesty and are unwilling to show off their talents, but they are willing to exert an imperceptible influence on others. Still waters run deep However, the fool who have little knowledge or no comprehension likes to show off before people. They have to conceal their superficiality and ignorance in a showy manner. They like to lecture to people and are used to getting the upper hand.

　　To my mind，a man with modesty, gratitude and tolerance deserves respect. We should try our best to be a wise and modest person.

　　【译文】

　　做一个谦逊的人

　　正如一句名言所说，“智者知不足，愚者多自负”。真正的智者通常很谦虚，相比之下，那些知识浅薄的人却很自负。

　　智者刻苦工作，目的在于学习更多知识充实完善自我。他们总是谦虚，不喜炫耀，却愿意潜移默化地影响他人。静水流深。愚者浅薄无知，却喜欢人前卖弄。他们不得不用炫耀的方式掩盖自己的肢浅和物质。他们好为人师，习惯于处处占上风。

　　在我看来，谦虚、心怀感激、宽容大度的人值得尊敬。我们应该努力成为一名谦逊的智者。
