Thoughts to you from yours truly - ( 34 ) - November 3, 2010

Thoughts to You from Yours Truly ( TYYT ) - ( 34 ) - Humility ( 謙遜 ) - Nov., 3, 2010

Humility is a virtue so long as it does not adversely affect one's self confidence. It is generally accepted that one always has much to learn from others. Not that one is inferior to others. Unfortunately, many oriental cultures tend to over indulge in humility. So much so that their young usually tend to be less outspoken and thus disadvantaged in their learning process.

如果謙遜的態度不深至影響自信,這是一種美德。其實正面的謙卑,是指接納自己有很多向別人學習的地方, 而不是比他人遜色。不幸地,許多東方的文化,都過於標榜謙卑,引至年輕人不敢發問,因而影響了學習過程。此乃極端不幸也。
