The Value of Modesty
"Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue." Joseph Addison once said. Modesty not only makes one look beautiful and well-mannered, but also serves as a guarantee to his excellent character. Apparently people may lose their fine qualities if they are not modest.
Simple as Addison’s remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy. Modesty can prompt us to go farther and achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements; instead, they will work constantly to accomplish a higher target. Take Benjamin Franklin as an example: He was once a printer of humble origins, so if he was simply satisfied with small achievements, it would be impossible for him to attain enormous achievements in so many fields such as science, politics and literature.
We should always keep in mind the significance of modesty in our life. 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.
