There was an American writer who often told such a story to his friends and readers:

It was an exhibition(展览) of the artists’ works organized by the Red Cross. I was invited as a special guest to take part in the exhibition. During this period, two girls of 16 or 17 years old came to me and asked for my signature(签名).

“I haven’t brought my pen. Is the pencil OK?” I asked. In fact I knew they wouldn’t refuse. I just wanted to show a well-known writer’s good manners to the readers.

“Certainly,” the young girls agreed happily. I could see they were very excited. Of course, their excitement also made me more pleased with myself. One of the girls gave her notebook to me. I took out my pencil, wrote something , and signed(签名) my name. The girl read my signature, frowned(皱眉), looked at me carefully and asked, “Aren’t you Robert Charboss?”

“No,” I told her proudly, “ I’m the writer of Alice Adams, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes(普利策奖).”

The young girl turned to another one, and said, “Mary, lend your eraser to me.”

At that moment, all my pride turned into a bubble(泡沫) immediately. Since then, I always warn(告诫) myself: Don’t think too highly of (高估)yourself even though you are so outstanding(杰出).
