Kind hearts are more than coronets.

善良的心灵胜于显贵的地位。

Some people say that this is a dog-eat-dog world, if we are too kind or too idealistic, we could face considerable difficulties in maintaining our principles and striving for our interests.

In the other hand, if we are too competitive or lack of empathy, even if we can successfully gain the advantages in competion, sometimes we would be hard to get comfortable with our successes.

Anyway, success is always better than failure.

We are always in a dilemma whether to do anything to get what we desire for or to keep moderate amouts of empathy.

Our life goals and our requirements are constantly pushing us to make difficult choices, and despite all our efforts, we may find ourselves in situation of failure.

Life is a long lesson in humility.

人生是一门漫长的学习谦卑的功课。

From James M. Barrie.

Humility is a good character, at least irreproachable, but sometimes it may have side-effects, not so good and even negative, in our interpersonal interactions.

That is, I want to say, sometimes our humble words and behaviours may be comprehended by others as we are showing weakness, they may think we are easy to deal with.

Therefore maybe we shouldn't seem to be too kind in interpersonal interactions, and it would be better to express our temper moderately or to behave in a more competitive way.

Anyway, it requires us to always improve our skills in communication.

Actually the skills of interpersonal interactions are very important, because they have great impacts on the efficency of our interacitons, and these interactions, exert their huge influence on our intelligence and other aspects of lives.

So, in the process of interaction with others, we must make sure that we are listening, responding and learning.
If we can always consciously put some useful tips for improving the communicatin in our relationship, we can improve our relationship and can get some miraculous rewards.
