But I think it would be difficult for
anyone to be better than you.
He replied with a smile.
Thank you for your compliment. If I have
the chance, I would also like to meet this outstanding young man.
the king said to him.
I have given the order to recruit him and I
have arranged for him to be your subordinate, what do you think?

at the capital.
The young man knocked on the door of his
house, waking him up in the middle of the night.

hand into his house and welcomed him warmly.
If someone is better than him, he doesn't
envy him.
If someone needs his help, he will do his
best to help them.

also cares about their daily lives.
All the soldiers in his army respected him.
Although he is a soldier, he will not

三國時代的東吳王國有一位著名的將軍，他的名字叫做(凌統)。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
有一次，東吳王國的國王對他說。
有人向我推薦了一個年輕人，這個年輕人與你同鄉。
聽說這個年輕人在品德與能力各方面都比你更好。
國王停頓的一下，接著笑著對他說。
不過我認為應該很難會有人比你更優秀。
他笑著回答。
謝謝你對我的讚美。如果有機會我也想見見這個優秀的年輕人。
國王對他說。
我已經發出命令徵召他，我安排他成為你的部屬，你覺得如何。
他開心的點頭答應。
這個年輕人抵達到首都的那一天時間已經半夜了。
這個年輕人敲他家的門因此他半夜被吵醒。
他沒有生氣，他很開心的拉著這個年輕人的手進屋，很熱情的接待這個年輕人。
如果有人比他優秀，他並不會忌妒這個人。
如果有人需要他的幫忙，他會全力去幫助這個人。
他很嚴格的管理他的士兵，但他也會關心這些士兵的日常生活。
他所帶領的軍隊中的所有士兵都很尊敬他。
他雖然是一個軍人，但是他不會輕視那些身體不強壯的學者。
他常常與一些學者交談並且跟這些學者學習。
他雖然已經成為一個很著名的將軍，但是他對待那些年長者依舊保持謙卑與禮貌，他對待自已的老朋友依舊保持熱情與真誠。
他很大方，他重視人與人之間的感情他不重視金錢。
他被東吳王國的所有百姓與官員們所喜愛與尊敬，他的名聲與品格受到全國人民的肯定。
他在29歲的時候就因為生病離世。他死的時候他的兩個小孩的年齡還很小。
東吳王國的國王讓他的兩個小孩在皇宮中接受教育與生活。
這句成語被用來形容一個人的名聲與品格受到全國人民的肯定。
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。
你曾經忌妒那些比你有才能的人呢?你是否曾經輕視那些地位不如你的人呢?
