Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself
In all one's life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. 36
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate(高估) yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. 37 It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.
Gain a correct view of oneself. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 38
Self-appreciate. Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. 39 If you earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation.
40 In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.
Get a full control of one’s life. Then one will find one’s life full of color1 and flavor.
A. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.
B. As long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.
C. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself for your own incompetence.
D. It has its own value.
E. Especially if it is well within your reach, you are just too blind to see it.
F. Do oneself a favor when it’s needed.
G. Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness.
