The title of my post, "the Fatal Conceit", is taken from the title of a book published in 1988 by Friedrich Hayek.

本文的标题，“致命的自负”，取自弗里德里希·哈耶克于1988年出版的一本书的书名。

You haven't heard the old saying that modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag behind? It's like a pot of cold water poured straight to my heart, I almost cried.

你没有听说过一句老话叫虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后吗？这就像一盆凉水直泼到我的心里，我差点儿就哭了出来。
