A tradition idiom in China that main meaning is : if you are a arrogant person, you will make mistake as soon. It can also explain within “If you want to someone face fail, you can push them into the expansion”
First of all, so don’t become arrogant people. If you want to get success that you need to spend a long period of time on your job or other things that you think it is right. That might be accumulation. It’s including learn the various knowledge, join the different activities and go to more countries to visit them culture. I hope you can get it in several decades later. It sounds difficult, don’t you. But must be interesting
Second one you should have humble and self-made personality, especially in your career. You shouldn’t have a thinking that is I’m a grade person, I always make right decision, because without you that the earth will keep rotation. You aren’t necessary one.
If you can do that with healthy mentality in the future and lucky enough, Maybe a fortitude time, you’ll become a successful person, such as a entrepreneur.

My dear children,
A traditional Chinese idiom in China whose main meaning is : if you are an arrogant person, you will make mistakes as soon.** It can also be explained as: “If you want someone to face fail, you can push them into the expansion flatter them (so that they aren’t careful anymore)”
First of all then, so don’t become arrogant people. If you want to achieve success then you need to spend a lot of time on your job or other worthwhile things that you think it is right.

That might be accumulation. It’s including learn the various knowledge, join the different activities and go to more countries to visit them culture. I hope you can get it in several decades later. It sounds difficult, don’t you. But must be interesting

** If you are arrogant, it will soon lead you to make a mistake.
