Bow the head of the ear of rice, the head of tares

Franklin, known as the father of the United States, made great achievements in his life, which is not unrelated to his visit. Franklin once visited the home of an old man. As he entered, he banged his head against the door frame, rubbing his hands in pain as he looked at the door, which was lower than normal. The seniors who came out to meet him saw him like this, smiled and said: "Very painful right? However, it will be the best thing you can get out of visiting me today. If a person wants to live in the world without incident, he must always remember 'bow'. That's what I'm going to teach you. Don't forget it." Franklin regarded this visit as his greatest achievement. He took the message to heart and made it one of his rules for the year. Modesty and prudence are the virtues of life. A mature person, a successful person, must have this kind of character, should bow, tolerance, rather than arrogant. This may be the virtue of many successful people. As a philosopher who is good at thinking, Socrates was once asked: "You are the most learned man in the world, so what is the height between heaven and earth?" Socrates said without hesitation: "three feet!" The man disagreed: "Each of us is five feet tall, and there is only three feet between the sky and the earth. Wouldn't that burst the firmament?" Socrates smiled and said: "So, all the height of more than three feet, to stand between heaven and earth, to know how to bow." The masters mentioned "remember to bow" and "know to bow", is to remember that no matter how your qualifications, ability, in the vast society, you are just a small molecule, is undoubtedly small. When we put the goal to see higher, more to sing low-key on the stage of life, keep a low profile in life, put yourself down, put others value some. In fact, the same is true of our life. People who think they have no talent, often can not see the excellence of others; Cynical people, often can not see the beauty of the world; Only dare to bow and constantly deny their own people, can continue to learn lessons, will be happy for the success of others, for their own understanding and complacent, will be at ease in the face of setbacks. There is a very appropriate folk proverb: "Bow the head of the rice ear, but the head of the tares." The more mature and full the ear, the lower the head hangs. Only the tares, whose fruit was empty, appeared ostentatiously, always lifting their heads higher. Lao Tzu said, when the hard teeth fall out, the soft tongue remains. Weakness is better than hard, humility is better than pride. We should learn to keep an appropriate low posture at the right time, which is not cowardice and cower, but a wise way of dealing with the world, is the great wisdom and realm of life.

Who was Benjamin Franklin in his twenties? A dedicated community leader and a charismatic and intelligent literary entrepreneur.

Was he accomplished in his twenties? It was not easy to start and expand printing presses in the early colonies; Add to that the creation or involvement of multiple communities, and it's clear that Franklin did show great promise early on.

But judging by his life's achievements, it is clear that Franklin's story has only just begun. His 20s were marked by two arguably the most notable periods of achievement - his many breakthroughs as a scientist/inventor, and his many key roles in creating the "American Moment." If you're not a billionaire, a Thiel scholar, or a Harvard Business School graduate, you can move at your own pace. The founding father of the United States was far removed from history by the time he was in his mid-20s, so don't stress about where you are now, stress about who you are now.
