美文赏析:人品才是最高的学历
Across the world, numerous sages in ancient times had emphasized that morality values way much more than merits.
不管是哪国的先贤，都强调德比才更重要。
Many parents, too, taught their children that the first lesson about success is being a good person.

A good reputation is the highest degree one can get. And it is the very foundation for you to put your talents to good use.
人品，是一个人能得到的最高学历，也是他施展一切才能的基础。
A talented man without the descipline of morality is merely a monster out of control no matter how capable he is.

中国曾有一位叫曾国藩的智者，他在给弟弟的一封信里说到：
"A moral progress is just like an additional litre of grain."
“今日进一分德，便算积了一升谷。”
