　　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.

　　謙虛的價(jià)值

　　“謙虛不僅僅是一個(gè)裝飾物，而且是美德的守衛(wèi)者�！奔s瑟夫•艾迪生曾經(jīng)說過。謙虛不僅可以使人看起來美麗、彬彬有禮，同時(shí)還是優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)的保證。很明顯，如果人們不再謙虛，他們可能會(huì)失去他們的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。

　　艾迪生的話也許聽起來簡(jiǎn)單，但它卻包含了大量的生活哲理。謙虛會(huì)讓我們走得更遠(yuǎn)，獲得更大的成功。謙虛的人永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)滿足于當(dāng)前的成就;與之相反，他們會(huì)一直努力地工作，來達(dá)成更高的目標(biāo)。以本杰明•富蘭克林為例：他曾只是個(gè)出身卑微的印刷工，所以如果他只是滿足于小小的成就，他就不可能在科學(xué)、政治和文學(xué)等那么多的領(lǐng)域取得巨大的成就。

　　我們應(yīng)該將謙虛在人生中的重要意義牢記在心。我們需要保持一個(gè)開放的心態(tài)，去接受新事物、吸收新信息、學(xué)習(xí)新知識(shí)并且抓住新機(jī)會(huì)。 “成功在于勤奮和謙虛，”一位哲人曾經(jīng)這樣說。
