文质彬彬·每日好词语｜能自得师者王

　　能自己找到老师的人可以为王，意即能虚心向人学习的人才能有大作为。这句话包含的道理有两层：其一，掌握权力的人，不要以势傲人，自以为是，而要虚怀若谷，礼贤下士，这样才能获得众人的辅佐，成就事业。其二，只有虚心好学，取人所长，才能不断丰富自己，成为真正的强者。

　　Eagerness to Learn Enables One to Excel Oneself

　　Literally, this term means that a person who is able to find a teacher and is eager to learn may become a king. It indicates that a modest person who is eager to learn from others may accomplish great feats. This term has two conceptions. First, a person with the supreme power of a nation must not lord it over others, thinking he is always right; instead he should be modest, and be courteous to the worthy people. Thus he will win the people's support and accomplish great achievements. Second, only when a person is modest and eager to learn from others, will he be able to broaden his knowledge, improve himself, and eventually become a person of great strength.

　　引例 能自得师者王，谓人莫已若者亡。好问则裕，自用则小。（《尚书·仲虺之诰》）（能够虚怀若谷不断向师者和贤者学习的人就会成为强者、成就事业，而老是以为别人都不如自己的人不会有大作为。谦逊好问就会变得博大，自以为是则会变得日益狭隘。）

　　A person who is able to find a teacher and is eager to learn may become a king. An arrogant person who always thinks that no one is better than himself will perish. A modest person who often asks questions will become broad-minded. A conceited person who thinks he is always right will become narrow-minded. (The Book of History)
