    After making some slight achievements, a young man began to be self-satisfied and despised other people.
    One day, the young man walked along with a wise man. On the way, the young man was bragging about himself, but the wise man was silent. when they reached a peak, the wise man asked," Look downward, what do you see?"
   "I see the woods, farmlands, houses, and the people as small as ants working in the fields."
   "Then what do you feel?"
   "Everything is all below me. I look like the one who dominates the earth."
   " If you look upward,what will you see?"
   " I see higher mountains, the white clouds on these mountains and the blue sky above the white cloud."
   "Then what do you feel?"
   The young man fell silent for a moment.
   " A person who knows to look upward can understand his position;a person who knows the blue sky is always overhead won't be foolish to put himself above others."
   The young man was suddenly englightened. Since then,he became studious and modest and acheived a lot.

   A proud man always destroys himself in his pride.              ——Shakespeare
