A proud princess? No, modest girls have more radiance!

Modesty is not weakness; it means having a correct view of oneself, truly knowing oneself, and it also means recognizing that every person has equal value. A woman who can achieve success in her career while understanding that success isn’t solely the result of her own efforts will continue to shine, and she will have something to hold onto emotionally, leading to a life filled with satisfaction and happiness. ● Modesty is what allows a girl to feel more important. As for our daughters, if all we do is boost their self-esteem with applause, they will eventually see through this and become frustrated as a result. Sometimes, the more her parents praised her, the more she doubted herself—would they love me more if I played the piano better? Therefore, we need to gently guide the girl to become aware of her strengths and limitations, helping her understand that her value lies not in what she does, but in who she is. In this way, the girl can view herself honestly, get to know herself, and ultimately accept herself. ● Modesty can help her build good relationships. When a girl possesses the virtue of modesty and realizes that everyone has equal value, she won’t consider herself superior to others, won’t worry about lacking a sense of superiority, and won’t be afraid of mockery or influenced by others’ opinions. Modest girls are more likely to have deep, lasting friendships; they choose friends based on their true character, are not deceived by appearance, and certainly do not reject others out of arrogance. A girl may be the princess of her family, but in the end she will become a member of society. She needs friends, a partner, and needs to navigate various interpersonal relationships; humility is the foundation of all healthy relationships – it is the inner awareness that enables one to understand others, learn to put themselves in their shoes, and recognize that everyone is equally important. Maintaining humility ensures that all parties are respected, allowing everyone to get along honestly and relaxedly, and experience happiness and satisfaction. Girls with normal intelligence and emotional intelligence are all modest. They understand that they must integrate into the family, and the family does not need to revolve around them. ● Modesty can help a girl maintain balance. Parents always say that they don’t care what their children do, as long as they are happy and content. Especially for one’s daughter, such expectations are even greater. But aiming for happiness and joy means having few constraints: receiving a scholarship is happy, spending money as one wishes is also happy... But humility teaches a girl to exercise self-restraint; she understands that she is part of a larger society and that collective interests must be achieved through cooperation. Modesty can also help her lead a meaningful life; she understands responsibility and knows where her value comes from. Modesty helps girls understand that true happiness comes from strong and healthy relationships with family, friends, and others, from the satisfaction of helping and serving others, and from the courage to face challenges – rather than from an obsession with focusing on oneself and believing that one is the only person of value. For girls, modesty is a wonderful gift. However, please note that she can truly learn only if her parents set a good example.
