Everyone has a different understanding of themselves. Some people know themselves very well and have a clear understanding of themselves. Some people think they know themselves, but in fact they don’t know anything. Laozi said: "If you know or not, you will still be better; if you don't know, you will be sick. A sage is not sick because of his illness. Only when you are sick is sick, so you will not be sick." The meaning of this passage of

is to know what you don't know and know the direction of your ignorance. Such a person is the best among people and a wise man. I don’t know what I know, but I still think that I know everything, I don’t care about anything, and dare to say anything, this is a disease.

Why don’t the saints have such a problem? Because the saint treats his own problems as bad habits. If he is sick, he will not be taboo, and he will not make cooked ducks with a stubborn mouth and refuse to admit their conscience, but take them seriously. It is precisely because the saints can face their own faults that they will not make those mistakes.

Are there people in this world who know everything and can do everything? There is definitely not. Human energy is limited and it is impossible to cover everything. Even gods have directions that cannot be achieved, let alone mortals. It is normal to have shortcomings and deficiencies. Only by correctly realizing one's own shortcomings can one become stronger.

Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates always claimed that he knew nothing and believed that he needed to learn and know a lot. His famous saying is: "Know yourself." A wise man who is a master of great success in thinkers, philosophers, and educators is so humble, let alone ordinary people in the vast sea of ​​people.

Know yourself! It is said that this is a proverb engraved on the wall of the Delphi Apollo temple in the center of Ancient Greek religion . It is also said that the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates once discussed and explained this sentence. It is also said that this proverb is an important proposition in Ancient Greek philosophy .

But no matter what, you can witness the importance of this proverb, not only an emphasis on knowledge, but also on people. Walking among all living beings, in the journey of life, you not only need to understand the world with knowledge, but also treat the world and others with a humanistic spirit and attitude.

Lao Tzu also said: "Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise." This means that a person can know others is a kind of wisdom; a person can know himself is true intelligence. It is always easy for people to make excuses for themselves in their hearts. It is difficult to know others, but it is even more difficult to know themselves.

As people often say: "It is easy to defeat others, but it is difficult to defeat yourself." Those who defeat others are powerful people, while those who defeat themselves are real strong people. This is what Lao Tzu said: "He who defeats others is powerful, and he who defeats himself is strong." Defeating others is a manifestation of ability, and defeating oneself is a manifestation of strong people.

Writer Shakespeare said: "The foolish thinks he is smart, while the wise have self-knowledge." No one can truly see through everything. The wise always understands his shortcomings and improves them. The foolish thinks he can see through everything and is superior, but in fact it is just a trick to entertain himself.

You must be self-aware, not be self-righteous, you must know how to seek your own heart, recognize your own shortcomings, persist in learning, and make continuous progress. In this world, you can see, hear, and experience a lot, and you can’t touch or see. Only by recognizing yourself can you understand the world.

French thinker Rousseau wrote in his past classic " Confessions ": "Know yourself well, you also know the world." It is believed that it is difficult for a person who knows himself well and the world to get lost. Because no matter how far they go, they always remember where their coordinates are and know the way back.

It is difficult for a person to know himself, understand himself, and shape himself. To know himself means to constantly make friends with himself, constantly feel dissatisfied with himself, constantly picking on his life, find failed experiences when he succeeds, and find successful experiences when he fails. To know yourself is to analyze yourself without blind spots.

When you think you already know this world, nothing can escape in your eyes, you already know everything. Then you have lost your eyes, unable to see the scenery outside, nor can you see your heart clearly. If you are both internal and external, what you lose is not only the direction of life, but also your mind.

No one knows everything when they are born, and people who know it do not exist. Everyone goes from ignorance to having some knowledge, and then to deeper understanding. The higher the position of the station, the more scenery you will see, the wider the world you face, and the more things you need to know.

The frog in the well saw the sky at the wellhead and thought that he knew the world and would know its shallowness only if he jumped out of the wellhead. In a small circle, you only know the knowledge of the small circle, and only when you enter a larger circle can you know more. The more you know, the less you feel. What you think is omniscience is actually your ignorance.
