文质彬彬·每日好词语｜虚怀若谷

　　虚怀若谷

　　心胸像山谷一样深广。形容为人谦虚豁达，善于听取他人各种意见。这被认为是取得大成就的人以及领导者应该具备的良好品质。具备这种品质的人，能够接受各种意见甚至是批评、反对的声音，这样可以及时改正自身缺点或修正决策失误，吸引更多的人归向自己，使自己获得更多支持。此与“厚德载物”“有容乃大”相通。

　　An Open Mind as Broad as a Mountain Valley

　　This phrase describes a breadth of mind that is broad and open as a deep and expansive mountain valley. Metaphorically, it refers to a person who is modest, generous, and tolerant, good at listening to other people's opinions and taking them into consideration, which is a desirable characteristic deemed typical in eminent people and leaders. People with such a quality can accommodate various opinions, including criticism and objections. In so doing, they can make timely correction of their mistakes or amend erroneous policies, thereby attracting more people to join and support them. This term is similar in meaning to other concepts such as "having ample virtue and carrying all things" and "a broad mind achieves greatness".
