When asked who the founder of the "theory of evolution" is, I believe many people know it is Darwin.

However, few people knew that at that time, Darwin wanted to give this great honor to others.

In the spring of 1839, Darwin had made a systematic and mature argument for the theory of evolution and wrote manuscripts one after another. However, he knew that science could not tolerate any mistakes, so he was not in a hurry to take away the manuscripts. Print and publish, but continue to look for more and more sufficient evidence to verify your point of view. This argument lasted for nearly 20 years. In the summer of 1858, Darwin felt that everything was mature and decided to publish his research results. After sorting out his manuscripts for decades, he gave them to the British natural scientist Dr. Ryle and asked him to help print and publish them. The day after Darwin handed the manuscript to Dr. Ryle, he received a paper written by Wallace, another scientist who was doing research in the Malay Archipelago - "A Note on the Tendency of Varieties to Infinitely Depart from Their Original Pattern" , the content of the paper is consistent with my own research results. On this important issue related to who is the founder of the theory of evolution, Darwin chose to be humble. He said to Dr. Ryle: "I would rather burn my manuscript than let Chinese or others think that I, Darwin, am a philistine in my treatment of people." Dr. Ryle said: "I can prove to you that this is your After decades of hard work, you deserve to be the founder of the theory of evolution." Darwin said: "It doesn't matter, as long as science makes progress, what does it matter who promoted the progress?" Darwin decided to call the founder of the theory of evolution. Huge honor goes to Chinese cuisine. However, Dr. Ryle, who was well aware of Darwin's research work, firmly disagreed with Darwin's doing this. With his insistence and persuasion, Darwin agreed to send the outline of his manuscript to the relevant institutions together with Hua Leishi's paper, and read it out at the same time.

After Hua Lei learned that Darwin had made the scientific discovery of evolution 20 years before him, he announced to the outside world: "Darwin is a patient and hard-working researcher. He is diligent and diligent." I am trying to collect evidence to prove the truth of his discovery. This discovery should be attributed to him alone. I only got the honor due to accidental luck. Darwin is the deserved founder of the theory of evolution. Let us pay tribute to him!"

Darwin’s humility earned Wallace and other people’s respect for him.

Dr. Ryle said with emotion: "In a sense, Darwin's humility is more worthy of our respect than the honor of being the founder of the theory of evolution."

In the face of the huge honor , Darwin still knows how to be humble. Should we also be more humble in our daily lives and work? On the surface, humility may cause us some losses, but in fact, because of humility, what we gain is immeasurable.

When you are humble to others, the beauty of adulthood is that others will, in turn, be grateful to you and provide you with convenience and help.

Because of your humility, you win friendship, love and respect. The story of humility 2

There was a man who had a cat and a dog.

Many years passed, and they all died.

They came to the door of heaven, and the angel stopped them: "Only two of you can go in."

The cat quickly said: "I'll go in! I'm so cute, this The opportunity must be mine!"

The owner said: "Let the dog in."

The dog said: "No, no, master, please go in."

They always argue.

The dog took advantage of the owner's inattention and pushed the owner into heaven in one fell swoop.

The cat saw this and hurriedly got in.

The angel asked the dog: "Why don't you go?"

The dog said: "I am willing to help others.

The angel said: "But you are going to hell!"

The dog said calmly: "I am willing to help others. Seeing their smiling faces makes me very satisfied." "

The angel's eyes were moist.

The angel asked the cat again.

The cat said: "I should have gone to heaven! We cats are just better than dogs! "

The dog picked up the cat.

The angel was puzzled.

The dog said: "I should let the cat go. "

You are kind and we are close neighbors, so why not give up two feet." After reading it, his family felt that it made sense, so they took the initiative to Give a few feet when building. When the neighbor saw his family doing this, he also had some insights and followed suit. As a result, the two families gave up an eight-foot-wide space.

When the physicist Einstein was alive, he was already a well-known physicist and deeply respected by people. Among the statues of the world's greatest scholars set up in Riverside Church in New York, Einstein is the only living person. But he did not let the honor go to his head and always maintained his humble character. He couldn't understand that others regarded him as an idol, and was very tired of the publicity and praise in newspapers and periodicals, especially those reporters, painters, and sculptors who came to him to take photos, portraits, and statues, which made him even more unbearable. He said that he had simply become There are models in these industries.

Einstein never considered himself a superman. He realized that the path he took was an extension of the path taken by his predecessors, and that the new era of science was opened up on the basis of predecessors, so he always appreciated the contributions of his predecessors with admiration and gratitude. He understands that there are many people working together on the road of science. Everyone has their own work and their own contribution, so he respects the work of his colleagues very much. Even to his subordinates and students, Einstein did not show any arrogance. Everyone who came into contact with him was moved by his amiability and waiting for others. He also summarized such a success formula: a=x+y+z, where a represents success, x represents hard work, y represents the correct method, and z represents less empty words. He believes that he is not a genius, but a loyal and diligent pursuer of truth. The Story of Humility 15

In Chinese history, there is the legend of the "Government of Wen and Jing", which tells the story of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty who worked hard to govern and promoted the resurgence of the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Han was an accomplished emperor. He respected his veterans Chen Ping and Zhou Bo and received their strong assistance. Chen Ping and Zhou Bo also respected each other and gave way to each other, becoming a model of "humility" as the foundation of life.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was the concubine of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and was named the acting king. He was kind and generous. When the cruel Empress Lu who usurped power died and Zhu Lu's rebellion was crushed, the court supported Emperor Wen to succeed him.

One day, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ascended to the palace. After all the ministers visited him one by one, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty found that the Prime Minister Chen Ping did not come to court. He asked: "Why doesn't the Prime Minister Chen Ping come?"

Taiwei Zhou Bo, who was standing below, stood up and said: "Prime Minister Chen Ping is ill and is weak. He cannot come to see the emperor. Please forgive him." Emperor Han Wen was puzzled. He was in good health yesterday, so why was he sick today? However, he remained calm and just said: "Okay, I understand, step back."

After retiring from the court, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty wanted to send someone to invite Chen Ping, but then he thought that Chen Ping was a veteran of the founding of the country. , I should treat him like a father. My father is sick and my son can only go to visit him. There is no reason to invite him. So Emperor Wen went to the harem, changed into the casual clothes he usually wore, and visited Chen Ping's house.

Chen Ping was lying at home reading a book. When Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty came, he hurriedly got up and saluted. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty hurriedly helped him up and said, "I don't dare. I regard you as my father. From now on, except in the court, I will be exempted from the courtesy of a monarch and a minister on other occasions." Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty glanced at the furnishings in the room and said, "Listen today The Taiwei said that you are sick and came here to visit you. I wonder if you have asked the imperial doctor to examine you? You are old, so don't delay if you are sick!"

Chen Ping was very touched by Emperor Wen's concern. . He felt that he could no longer hide it, so he told Emperor Wen what was in his heart: "The Emperor is too kind, but I can't bear the Emperor's love for his subjects. I have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor!" It turned out that Chen Ping was not ill, but was. Pretending to be sick. Why did he pretend to be ill? He didn't want to be prime minister and wanted to give up his position to Zhou Bo.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty asked: "Why?"

Chen Ping explained the reason for his resignation. It turned out that when the great ancestor Liu Bang was in power, in order to ensure the inheritance of the Han Dynasty clan, it was stipulated that "non-Liu family members were not allowed to Be the king." After Gaozu's death, Emperor Hui was cowardly. Empress Lu ignored Gaozu's instructions and made a descendant of the Lu family king. As Zhu Lu's power grew stronger, the Liu family's power declined day by day. After Empress Lu's death, Zhu Lu formed a clique and planned to rebel. Prime Minister Chen Ping believed that the time had come, so he discussed a grand plan with Taiwei Zhou Bo to destroy Zhu Lu and seize power. Chen Ping believes that when a new emperor succeeds to the throne, he should be credited with meritorious service. Zhou Bo's contribution to the elimination of the Lu Group was greater than his own. He should give up his position as prime minister to Zhou Bo, but Zhou Bo refused to accept it, believing that Chen Ping was the mastermind behind the elimination of the Lu Group. Chen Ping pretended to be ill and could not go to court. This gave Emperor Wen the reason to appoint Zhou Bo as prime minister, and also made Zhou Bo duty-bound to take up the post of prime minister.

After Chen Ping explained everything to Emperor Wen. He also said sincerely: "When Emperor Gaozu was here, Zhou Bo's contribution was not as good as mine; when he killed Zhu Lu, my contribution was not as good as Taiwei's. So I am willing to give up my position to him and ask for your permission."

Emperor Wen originally did not know the details of the elimination of Zhu Lu. He was only taken to Chang'an by Chen Ping and Zhou Bo after Zhu Lu's fall. After listening to Chen Ping's explanation, he realized that Zhou Bo had made great achievements, so he agreed to Chen Ping's request and appointed Zhou Bo as Prime Minister of the Right, ranking first, and Chen Ping as Prime Minister of the Left, ranking second.

Emperor Wen wanted to be an effective emperor, and he wanted to personally intervene in national affairs. One day when he went to court, he asked Zhou Bo, the right prime minister: "How many people have been sentenced in the country in one day?" Zhou Bo said he didn't know. Emperor Wen asked again: "How much money and grain does the country have in a year? How much is the income? How much is the expenditure?" Zhou Bo still couldn't answer, feeling extremely ashamed and ashamed.

Emperor Wen saw that Zhou Bo couldn't answer, so he asked Chen Ping, Prime Minister Zuo: "Prime Minister Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Ping replied calmly: "You If you want to understand these situations, I can find you the person in charge of these things." Emperor Wen asked: "Then who is responsible for managing these things?" Chen Ping replied: "Your Majesty wants to ask the person who is sentenced. Regarding the number of people, I can go to Tingwei. If I want to ask about the money and food, I can go to Zhi Su Nei Shi, and they will tell you the detailed figures."

Emperor Wen was a little unhappy, and his face darkened and he said: " Since everything has its own director, what should the Prime Minister be in charge of?"

Chen Ping answered without hesitation: "Everyone's ability is limited, and the Prime Minister cannot micromanage everything. The prime minister's responsibilities include assisting the emperor at the top, regulating everything at the bottom, calming the barbarians and princes externally, and calming the people internally. The prime minister also manages the ministers so that each minister can fulfill his or her responsibilities." Chen Ping answered. Methodical, Emperor Wen felt it made sense, nodded repeatedly, and showed a satisfied smile.

Zhou Bo, who was standing aside, felt relieved and admired Chen Ping for his eloquence and ability in assisting the government. He deeply felt that he was a martial artist and his talents were inferior to Chen Ping. When he returned home, he couldn't calm down for a long time. He thought that although he had contributed to the pacification of Zhu Lu, his ability to assist the emperor and handle state affairs was far inferior to that of Chen Ping. For the sake of the people of the country, Chen Ping should still be made prime minister. So Zhou Bo also pretended to be ill and submitted his resignation to Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen of Han understood Zhou Bo's mood very well, approved Zhou Bo's resignation, and appointed Chen Ping as prime minister (no longer prime minister Zuo). Chen Ping assisted Emperor Wen and worked hard to govern, which promoted the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, two veterans, were both the founders of the Han Dynasty, but they "emptied themselves and enriched others", gave way to each other, and shined.

The level of being a person is often reflected in a kind of mind. Some people care about everything and do not know how to be humble. Some people regard humility as the criterion of life and show a generous mind in everything. The former is naturally clumsy, the latter is naturally sublime.
