It is also a kind of wisdom to be benevolent

"Humility" is not just about concession and forbearance. In the moral creed, "humility" refers to the concession of fame, wealth and power, which is called "gentlemen do not fight". On the other hand, on the issue of principle, in the place where one shows one's talent, the wise people highly praise the principle of "not giving in to one's duty".

The competition advocated in ancient times was graceful, self-confident and fair. There was no need to be modest when it came to the competition.

Confucius also said to his students, "when benevolence, not to the teacher.".

Although it is polite to give way, but in such a matter as benevolence, it is necessary to be brave to do so without giving up, even in front of the teacher. In the workplace, everyone is considering their own interests and pursuing promotion in order to get more benefits. Therefore, at the critical time, they have to be "scheming" to take the initiative and do their duty.

For example, when you know that there is a vacancy in a certain position or higher and you are fully qualified for the position, keeping silent is not a good strategy. Instead, you should learn to fight for it, take the initiative to attack, and tell your ideas or requests to your superiors. This can often make you fulfill your wish. Mao Sui of Zhao state in the Warring States period and Gan Luo of Ying Zheng of Qin king have provided us with the best evidence Ming. Too much humility will only block your way to promotion.

It's a matter of course that you should not give up and get what you get. Excessive humility makes you appear hypocritical.
