The circle of friends represents the world of one person.

The real high level is to learn to be low-profile as a person.

We Chat has become a social software that no one can part of within the internet era.

Everyone is used to recording their lives in their circle of friends, and a person's circle of friends represents a person's world.

There is nothing wrong with recording your life, but when you reach middle age, you should understand that there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people.

The age of youthful ignorance has left us, and middle age is no longer an age to be complacent after a little achievement.

So, when you reach middle age, don't show off these things in your circle of friends, otherwise, you will be laughed at or be in trouble.

Don't show off your happiness

The more a person lacks something, the more he or she will show off something.

True happiness is not something you can show off, but something you can work on.

Life is like drinking water, you know what you are doing.

What you think is happiness may not be the happiness that everyone recognizes.

The happiness that you show off in your circle of friends will only be judged by others, and will not get you a bit of envy from them.

I have seen a short film before, a few minutes long, but it has garnered millions of hits.

In a lavishly decorated 17th-century mansion, the owner's family is sitting at the table preparing to eat, but they are late in doing so.

The dried flowers are still beautiful

It turns out that they are waiting for the painter to paint their meal.

When the painter had finished, the servants carried the painting around the world, and only after receiving everyone's praise and going home did the owners decide to eat with satisfaction ......

Time and space changed to modern times, or when eating, facing the father who took pictures, while the little girl showed a face of dissatisfaction:

"It's just a meal, it's not a race, why do we have to make such a hassle?"

True happiness is too much to enjoy, how can one have the time to show it off everywhere?

Everyone's definition of happiness is different, and your happiness won't increase or decrease just because someone makes a comment or two.

If that's the case, why risk being hated by everyone by showing off your happiness in your circle of friends?

Just live your own life, your happiness, others don't care.

Don't show off achievements

Really capable people never show off their achievements.

Because time will tell. If you have the ability, you will make a name for yourself without showing off, but if you don't have the ability, no matter how you show off, it's like a joke.

The tiger is silent while the king is on his head, and the eagle flies high in the sky without making a sound.

The more successful a person is, the more he looks like a silent, ordinary person.

I heard a story about a Tibetan mastiff and a lion earlier.

A strong boy took a purebred Tibetan mastiff worth a million dollars out for a walk and showed off the dog to people.

Then he saw a balding old man on the side of the road with a dog whose hair was about to fall out.

His Tibetan mastiff howled at the dog, but the old dog didn't even look up at him.

The guy got angry and said, "Old man, let's have a dog fight, your dog will pay me 500 if you lose, and my Tibetan mastiff will pay you 2000 if I lose."

The old man smiled unconcernedly and said, "I'm worried about my old buddy's food next month, so why don't we bet a little bigger and give you 50,000 for my dog to lose and 30,000 for you to lose."

The guy agreed.

Within two minutes of the two dogs fighting, the Tibetan mastiff was defeated and wilted to the side.

The guy was so depressed that he asked, "Grandpa, what kind of dog is that, how can it be so fierce?"

The old man said while counting his money, "I don't know what kind of dog it is now, it was called a lion before it lost its hair!"

If you are a lion, why do you need to prove it?

One's ability does not exist in showing off, even if your showing off gets more envy, a person without real ability will one day fall out.

You just do your best, and God will have something to do with it.

If you waste all your time on showing off, you have lost a great opportunity to improve yourself, and showing off again won't help.

So, not showing off is not the same as being inferior. It is only when you are quiet that you can understand what you need.

Don't flaunt the fame and fortune you have gained

It's better to be modest than to be full.

If you flaunt your fame and fortune, you will inevitably be envied by those who want to bring you trouble.

Therefore, the more successful a person is the more humble he or she is, and the lower his or her profile.

It is only by lowering oneself and putting oneself in the right position that one can gain the respect of everyone from the bottom of one's heart.

In the Journey to the West, there is a passage in which Wu Kong, who had obtained his immortal body in the Three Stars Cave, was unpredictable and had 84,000 hairs on his body, changing at his will.

One day, Wu Kong bragged in front of his brothers and teachers that he had learned the 72 transformations after Old Bod he had passed on the mantra in his ear.

Then he recited the mantra and transformed it into a pine tree.

When Bod hi Lao appeared, Wu Kong hurriedly revealed his true form.

The Bodhisattva said.

"Having learned this king foo, how can you show off in front of people? If you don't teach it to them, they will harm you and you will not be able to save your life! I don't blame you, so go away!"

Wu Kong said, "How can I leave before I repay my ancestor's kindness?"

The Bod hi Master replied, "There is no such thing as kindness, but if you leave, you will surely cause trouble in the future.

Wu Kong had no choice but to say goodbye: "I will never mention a word of Master in the future!"

Flowers are more beautiful

He did not boast of his talent, and he did not take pride in his high position.

Even if he can be proud of his talents, he must still keep a low profile without showing his face.

Great wisdom is indeed the great wisdom of life.

Ripe rice is bent over because it is only by hiding its sharp edges that it can avoid unwarranted disasters.

If you bloom, butterflies will come.

In life, it is most important to live your life well, and other people's opinions are just a tune.

It would be the greatest sorrow if one lost oneself to get the affirmation and envy of others.

"The earth is not afraid of its low so that it can gather water into the sea; people are not afraid of its low so that they can be the king of the crowd."

If we keep a low profile and maintain a calm and relaxed heart, we will be able to make a big difference in the wide world.

May you and I be able to break away from the low level of "showing off in the circle of friends" and spend our lives openly and honestly, taking into account the times and the situation.
