(3)知道自己“有限”的聪明

　　...
　　默想：这是一个聪明的孩子，他知道自己的有限，而更重要的，他也明白别人比自己强。

　　凡事不只靠自己的力量，学会适时的依靠他人，是一种谦卑，更是一种聪明。...

I like such essay, short but full of widsom. Especially this piece.
Frankly to say I am used to believing in depending on oneself, and so I tried to implement it in my real life, I think, only in this way I can keep my freedom, I am sure, that is not wrong in some degree. Sometimes I suceeded, however I failed some other times, and so I have the conclusion: I can not solve all of the problems around me just by myself, I do need help from other people.
One of my friends made joke of me and asked , if I were really so independant as I have declared, why I still use the knowledge from our ancestors , why I could not create and establish my own knowledge system from zero, my words, my theory, and so on. So I was silent, he was right! How can I reply it?!.
Yes, I can see far away, just because I stand over the shoulder of our ancestors, my own power is just tiny and limited.
I would be glad if I am useful for others, and I should also learn to accept the kind help from others with open heart, that is the balance and the harmony of the life.:)
