Don't be arrogant! There is material that is harder than diamond.

Probably, until now, there are some of us who think that diamond is the hardest material on the earth. Guess what? It is not. Recently, some German scientists have found a new material called Aggregated Carbon Nanorods (ACNR). In their experiment, ACNR could scratch diamond. If it can scratch, it is believed that it can cut the diamond. Of course, they have to do follow-up experiments about it.
After reading this article in www.kompas.com, i suddenly thought of arrogant people. They are who think they are better than others and underestimate others because of that. By metaphore, they think they're like diamond and they're superior. The article actually can make us realize that being arrogant is useless. Why? Because there are always people who are better than you. There is sky above the sky. All you have to do is do your best not be the best. And if you do better than others, do not underestimate them. Coz someday they might do better than you.
Ultimately, we know that God is the Almighty. He should be the One who can be arrogant because of His power. But is God arrogant? A big NO. So, why should human be arrogant?
