He thinks he is the smartest person in the world(不可一世)
In the Song Dynasty of China, there was a
famous prime minister and writer. His name is (Wang Anshi).
A story about him is recorded in the
history book.
He has been very smart since he was a child
and his work ability is also very strong.
He felt that no one in this world was
better than him.
When he was young, he admired a famous
scholar at the time.
The name of this scholar is (Zhou Dunyi).
He brought his business card to visit (Zhou
Dunyi).
When (Zhou Dunyi)'s servant came to report
it to him.
(Zhou Dunyi) thought to himself.
I heard that this young man is excellent in
all aspects, but because of this he is very proud.
I should refuse to meet him and let him
learn humility and patience by this opportunity.
So (Zhou Dunyi) refused to meet him.
Later, he brought his business card to
visit (Zhou Dunyi) twice in a row.
But (Zhou Dunyi) still refused to meet him.
He was very angry, he thought (Zhou Dunyi)
looked down on him.
His anger turned into shame, and then his
shame turned into arrogance.
He did not try to visit again (Zhou Dunyi).
A few decades later, he led a very huge
reform at that time.
In carrying out this reform, he did not
listen to the opinions of other officials at all.
He insisted on his own ideas.
As a result, this reform ended in failure
because it was too idealistic.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
is very proud, who thinks that no one can compare to himself
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts

不可一世(He thinks he is the smartest person
in the world)
中國的宋王朝，有一位著名的宰相與文學家。他的名字是(王安石)。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
他從小就非常的聰明而且工作能力也非常的強。
他覺得這個世界上沒有人比他更棒。
他在年輕的時候他很敬仰當時的一個著名的學者。
這個學者的名字叫做(周敦頤)。
他帶著自已的名片去拜訪(周敦頤)。
當(周敦頤)的僕人來向他報告這件事時。
(周敦頤)心裡想。
我聽說這個年輕人各方面都非常的卓越，但是也因為如此所以他很驕傲。
我應該拒絕與他見面，讓他藉由這個機會學習謙卑與忍耐。
所以(周敦頤)拒絕與他見面。
他後來又連續兩次帶著自已的名片去拜訪(周敦頤)。
但(周敦頤)還是拒絕與他見面。
他很生氣，他認為(周敦頤)瞧不起他。
他的憤怒轉變成羞愧，然後他的羞愧又變成了自大。
他沒有再次嘗試去拜訪(周敦頤)。
幾十年後他主導了當時一個非常巨大的改革。
在進行這一項改革時，他完全不聽取其他官員的意見。
他堅持自已的想法。
結果這場改革因為太過理想化所以最後以失敗收場。
這句成語被用來形容一個人非常驕傲、這個人認為沒有人比得上自己
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。
你遇過最大的挫折是甚麼呢?你認為在這件事情上，這兩個人是否犯了何種錯誤呢。
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
