He feels that he is better than others(好為人師)
There is an important scholar in
Confucianism whose name is (Meng Ke).
There is a story in his book.
One day, he saw one of his students talking
with others.
He stood by and observed.
After the conversation, he told the student
in private.
I want to share one thing with you.
He said.
The main purpose of our learning knowledge
should be to enrich ourselves.
We should not make comments lightly, and we
should treat our opinions very carefully.
We must bear in mind that what each of us
knows is extremely limited.
We should maintain a humble attitude.
You are a smart student, you can quickly
absorb new knowledge after you learn it, and you are willing to share it with
others, which is a good advantage.
But you should not have the mentality to
guide others in doing things.
The premise for you to guide others is that
you think you are better than him, and only your method is right, so you guide
him.
But there is not only one solution for all
things. You should keep your mind open.
You also need to be humble. You should not
think that you are better than others.
A proud heart will hinder your progress.
The result will bring you great disaster.
The student said with embarrassment.
Thanks. I will remember these words you
said.
The meaning of this idiom is to describe a
person who likes to think of himself as a teacher and likes to guide others in
doing things.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you think you are better than others? Do
you often like to criticize or guide others?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
好為人師(He feels that he is better than
others)
儒家有一個重要的學者，他的名字叫做（孟軻）。
他的書中有一個故事。
有一天，他看見一個他的學生正在與別人對談。
他便站在旁邊觀察。
對談結束後，他私底下對這位學生說。
我想跟你分享一件事情。
他說。
我們學習知識的最主要目的應該是在於豐富自我。
我們不應該輕易發表評論，我們應該很慎重地看待我們提出的看法。
我們必須牢記我們每個人所知道的都極其有限。
我們應該保持謙虛的態度。
你是一個聰明的學生，你學習新的知識之後很快就可以吸收，而且你願意分享給別人，這是很好的優點。
但是你不應該有指導別人做事的心態。
你指導別人做事的前提是你覺得你比他優秀，只有你的方法是對的，所以你指導他。
但所有的事情都不會只有一種解決方法。你的心態應該保持開放。
你還需要保持謙卑，你不應該認為自己比別人更優秀。
一顆驕傲的心會阻擋你的進步。
結果就會帶給你很大的禍患。
這個學生很不好意思的說。
謝謝。我會記得你說的這些話。
這句成語的意思是形容一個人喜歡以教導者自居，喜歡指導他人做事。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你覺得你比其他人更優秀嗎?你是否常常喜歡批評別人或指導別人呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
