[00:07.91]Should Parents Teach Their Children to Be Modest?
[00:12.33]When asked about whether parents should
[00:16.01]teach their children to be modest
[00:18.12]in such a fast-developing and competitive society,
[00:21.61]people's answer differs.
[00:23.60]Some people believe that it is not advisable to do this anymore.
[00:29.01]Others insist that it remains necessary for parents
[00:33.43]to maintain their children modest.
[00:36.10]I side with people that are supportive of parents
[00:40.39]teaching their children to be modest.
[00:43.13]First of all,
[00:44.62]modesty is an effective force
[00:47.15]that drives people to make greater progress.
[00:50.88]Just as the saying goes,
[00:53.00]"Modesty helps one go forward,
[00:55.73]whereas conceit makes one lag behind."
[00:58.97]Furthermore, modesty makes people more active to learn from others,
[01:04.44]therefore,
[01:05.56]modest people may meet with many capable persons
[01:09.15]companied with a lot of chances.
[01:12.14]Last but not least,
[01:14.69]modest people tend to have more friends,
[01:17.55]which may help them both in life and work.
[01:21.10]To sum up,
[01:22.83]modesty is a valuable quality that greatly benefits people.
[01:28.06]Therefore,
[01:29.43]it is suggestive that parents guide their children to be modest.
