Modesty can not only make someone look beautiful and well-mannered, but also serve as a guarantee to ones excellent character. It is obvious that people tend to lose their fine qualities if they are not modest.Simple as Addisons remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of modesty. why does modesty play an indispensable role in our life ? Modesty can inspire people to achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements, instead, they will work constantly to achieve a higher target. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of modesty, however, I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Benjamin Franklin, who was once a printer of humble origins, attain tremendous achievements in so many fields such as science, politics, literature and navigation if he was simply content with small achievements?We should always bear in mind that modesty will prompt us to go farther. Accordingly, at no time should we be satisfied with our small accomplishments, instead , we need to keep an open mind to accept new things, absorb new information, acquire new knowledge and seize new opportunities. “Success consists in industry and modesty.” A philosopher once said.(229words)参考译文：“虚心不仅仅是一个装饰物，而且是美德的保卫者。”约瑟夫.艾迪生曾经说过。虚心不仅可以使人看起来漂亮、彬彬有礼，同时还是优秀品质的保证。很明显，一个人假如不在虚心，他也很可能会失去优秀品质。艾迪生的话或许听起来简洁，但她却包含了大量的生活哲理，并且让我们明白了虚心的重要性。为什么虚心在我们的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢？虚心可以使人获得更大的胜利。那些虚心的人永久都不会满意于当前的成就，取而代之的是，他们会始终努力地工作，来达成更高的目标。相当多的例子可以用来证明虚心的重要性，但是除了下面这个例子，我想不到更好的了。曾只是个出身卑微的印刷工本杰明.富兰克林，假如他只是满意于小小的成就，他怎么可能后来在科学、政治、文学和航海学等那么多的领域取得巨大的成就呢？我们应当牢记在心，虚心会让我们走的更远。因此，任何时候我们都不能满意于小小的成就，取而代之的是，我们应当保持一个开放的心态，去承受新事物，汲取新信息，学习新学问并且抓住新时机。“胜利在于勤奋和虚心”一位哲人也曾经说过。
