On the face of it, the word "pride" in "pride is certainly not good" is obviously used as a derogatory meaning rather than a commendatory one, while the speaker says "understandable". What about "understandable"? I just want to say "yes" or "good" after all. It can be seen that the speaker's speech before and after is "self-contradictory" In this way, we can easily see that "pride is certainly not good" is a hollow shot, while "understandable" is the speaker's true feelings.
So, do proud people have "capital" to be proud of? In the eyes of proud people, good conditions, special skills, great achievements and titles are all "capital", among which "great achievements" are the most. However, can this be used as the "capital" of the pride of the proud? Personal efforts are certainly an important reason for a person's achievement, but how can it be separated from the guidance and help of the organization, the education and training of teachers, and the care and support of colleagues or classmates? I would like to ask: where can such achievements become the "capital" of my "pride"?
In fact, no one who has made great achievements and really has "capital" is proud. Imagine: If Madame Curie was intoxicated by success, how could she win the Nobel Prize twice? If Yan Zhenqing, an ancient calligrapher in China, is complacent about copying the ancient style, how can he create his own style of "thin ribs like an autumn eagle, and hidden edges in words"? If Zhu Jianhua indulges in 2.37 meters, how can he jump over 2.38 meters and set a new world high jump record? Throughout ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign countries, truly successful people always regard themselves as very small.
Chen Yi has a poem: "Don't boast about Niu Yi, and complacency will turn over. Looking at the past and present, there are many
few things, and humility is defeated by luxury. " How incisive and thought-provoking it is!
now, our socialist motherland has entered a great historical new period. What it needs is people with real talent and knowledge and strong "capital". If some people are complacent and arrogant with only a little "capital", then instead of becoming a talent for the "four modernizations", they will become a stumbling block and even be eliminated by history. By then, the sad result will be "understandable".
