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
An excellent poem and deep meaning is embedded in this verse! You are right, this leads to thinking about our life and about what we are striving for! Thank you @djohan
thank you serkagan, yes we should not forget where we came from after we reach our goals in life
You are right, now everything around us is changing for the better, so gradually that you, without noticing, take it for granted, and then it can suddenly happen that everything has nothing to lose. So you have to be vigilant and humble in everything. Thank you for sharing .
thank you magnata, yes things are getting better with technology, we should appreciate what we have
Beautiful poem dear friend , thanks for sharing it.
you're welcome pardeepkumar
These lines are so motivating for me @djohan.
Thank you...steem on and stay blissful.
you're welcome sthitaprajna
Humility does not see itself in the giant. There is no arrogance and pride in the place where there is low humility. Humble people do not diminish themselves with their behavior, they do not diminish their merits. On the contrary, these people are even more glorified in the sight of the one who is against them. They gain the respect and love of people with their good intentions and their attentive behavior.
The humble person knows his own worth and is aware of his merits. But it is boring and frightening to proclaim these within everyone. This habit is due to the fact that he does not want to show himself differently than he is. @djohan
thank you slayer10

Yes, it will be in front of me everyday :)
Excellent poem and very nice suggestions too i will also surely try and follow it, wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors! friend Stay blessed.
thank you adnanrabbani, sometimes we want to say i told you so and brag to people who didn't get into crypto, but that's not a good way to introduce crypto to others, being humble could be the better way
time to be humble and gentle :) beautiful post dear @djohan something great to learn from it thanks a lot for sharing
thank you blazing, it will be more needed in 2018. Might be hard to be humble when bitcoin is 100k or steem at $100
