A tribute to the humble (in the 'era of pretentious) - Francesco Alberoni
I told a friend that in his business, often prefer to hire accountants instead 'of graduates in economics, not just' cause they cost less, but because 'obey more 'readily and are willing to do even menial jobs. Then he added: "The graduates, especially for the few ', are presumptuous." The presumptuous overestimates his ability '. It is proposed to important tasks that give notoriety ', money and prestige and disdain tasks more' humble. Since 'I think I deserve recognition when it considers that the others do not appreciate properly, speaks well of himself', is self-praise. Means presumptuous blowhard. The boaster and 'a pretentious exaggerating, but on things of little importance. So silly, vain. Presumption does not even say arrogant. The arrogant makes its way by crushing the other, and humiliating them succeeds in breaking with his personality 'or the degree that covers it. Both the presumption that arrogance is a flaw minor when the subject does not occupy a position of power. In this case only hurts himself, as a graduate at the beginning that we were talking about, if it was more 'flexible and aware of its limitations, would find work. Defects become serious when the subjects wear a uniform or achieve high grades. There are few people who can maintain a stable feedback for themselves in difficult times such as those in triumph. So keep that balance and hope in trouble ', but who remain intimately humble when they reach success and power. The vast majority of people are hungry for external recognition and when unable to obtain an important position often undergoes a metamorphosis. You can see that among the university professors. Before winning the competition, and the candidate 'timid, scared, servile. Covers the most capable teachers' high with deference and respect. But, immediately after winning the contest turns. He feels a great scientist to which all must respect and admiration. Even change the way you walk and talk. A similar phenomenon occurs in the Armed Forces when a person becomes poor colonel or general, as if he had the company 'recognition of being a leader, a strategist. Even more 'deep, though often disguised, the change that occurs when a young become a magistrate. In our society ', in fact, the magistrate has the power over' feared to take away your freedom 'and reputation. Then there are the politicians. There are very few famous politicians who choose to return voluntarily in anonymity. Used to being greeted everywhere by crowds of photographers, teleoperation, by journalists who drink their statements, they can not 'do without it. They need to feel above the common people. The modern world and 'self-indulgent and the presumption does not appreciate the importance of humility'. Humble and not 'the timid, uncertain, the depressed. Humble and 'who knows we can not accomplish anything alone, but only thanks to the others. Humble and 'who knows that the success depends on the circumstances and luck. Humble and 'Finally, some not' rinoscimenti importance, but only what 'is beautiful and good can create.
