Be humble but reflect high ideals
Hi Steemit
This is a poem i got from a shrine i visited while in Japan during my Christmas holiday trip
The meaning is :
" A down-flowing stream still reflects the image of the highest peaks above. Let your heart, in a similar manner, be humble but reflect high ideals"
What impresses me with this poem is the time i got it.
I was in a family trip with my parents, cousin, my sister and her family. And i was most excited to brag about the gains i have made in Cryptocurrencies. It was the second day of the trip, so i had one day of a little bragging :)
And the next day,
"Hey, be Humble!!"
Sometimes it is hard not to brag about the gains you have made in 2017. As the start 2018 is looking even more impressive than 2017, we are most likely to get another year of crypto gains. The more gains we make, the more important and hard it is to be Humble with our gains.
I have put this poem on my computer desk as a reminder to be Humble with my gains.
To All crypto people
Aim high and be humble with your gains !!!
This is the shrine
"Be humble but reflect high ideals" a very good word.
thank you aquia10, yes it's very suitable for people investing in cryptocurrencies
Being humble is very important, or reality will give one a quick lesson
thank you bitcoinman. Yes people don't actually like to hear others bragging and it makes us look bad. I will only talk about gains with other crypto investors
I agree
@djohan,
That would be a lovely and a great meaningful poetry. How it suited to you at that trip is fantastic. Thanks for sharing this. Crypto changed my life also.
Cheers~
thank you theguruasia, yes it stopped me and reminded me at the right moment
@djohan - Sir this is one of the greatest poetry I ever heard... Nice you decided to share it Sir...
+W+
thank you steemwija
Very true....it's just not proper to brag of oneself....you feel it when you do it.
thank you floridanow. It's sometimes hard not to brag when you make a 100x gains from an ICO and you wanna tell the whole world about it. But this poem is a good reminder. I think other people don't like to hear us brag actually
so deep and wise , the photo also is wonderful great post @djohan:)
thank you machhour
Yes the explanations really helped :)
and yes as it seems 2018 might be holding more surprises for us !
The start of 2018 has been more surprising than 2017 already with the big jump and now a big crash. Enjoy the ride
Nice wording poem and beautiful pic of shrine
thank you spiritualpower. It's always so peaceful to visit shrines and we can get beautiful poems too
Beautyful poem, friend cool places where you take photos
thank you enriqueig, yes it is beautiful place and the poem too
Is a big advice with much style, say a poem with little reflexion
thank you darvancast, it's good advice for crypto people who made gains last year to stay humble
