  • The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of modesty1. Definitely, no one can deny the importance of it. Modesty can inspire people to achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements, instead, they will work constantly to achieve a higher target. moreover, modest people are more likely to be fitting in, win others’ trust and enjoy a harmonious2 interpersonal relationship. To further illustrate3 the importance of modesty, I would like to take Newton as a case in point: how could he, one of the most influential4 scientists throughout the history of mankind, discover the Law of Momentum5 Conservation if he was simply content with the achievement of finding Three Laws of Motion ?

    Accordingly, at no time should we be satisfied with our small accomplishments6, instead , we need to keep an open mind to accept new things, absorb new information, acquire new knowledge and seize new opportunities. “Success consists in industry and modesty.” A philosopher once said.
