Someone once asked the poet Tagore:
What is the easiest in the world? What is the hardest?
Tagor replied:
"The easiest to blame others, but the hardest to know yourself."
Zengzi said: "I examine myself three times a day."
Many times, what we lack is not experience, but reflection.
If we can constantly reflect on ourselves from our own experiences, then we will be able to make progress quickly.
On the contrary, if you don’t reflect on yourself, then even if you “travel thousands of miles”, you won’t make much progress.
During the Xia Dynasty , a rebellious prince invaded and Yu sent his son Qi to fight.
result in the war being defeated.
Qi's subordinates were very dissatisfied and asked to fight again.
Qi said, "My land is bigger than him and more soldiers than him, but he was defeated. It must be because my moral character is not enough and my method of leading troops is not as good as his."
After that, Qi was more strict with himself, caring for the people, and being close to people with both moral integrity and ability.
A year later, the rebellious prince surrendered automatically.
Mencius said: "If you have any line of , you should not ask for , but look for it yourself."
When we encounter setbacks, then, first, don't rush to complain, but look for the reasons from ourselves.
It is not scary to have its own shortcomings, just correct it.
Once we correct our own shortcomings and do things, it will naturally be easy to do it.
On the contrary, if you just blame others and shirk responsibility, you will only make yourself make mistakes again and again and linger in failure.
Being good at self-reflection is the fastest way for a person to make progress.
Have you noticed that many people always like to find reasons from the outside world when they encounter problems.
Family discord is because the partner has a bad temper, the work mistake is because the colleague is bad, and the leader is not interested in getting promoted...
People who always think they are self-righteous are the stupidest. In the movie " Beginning of Spring" directed by Gu Changwei , the arrogant Huang Sibao studied in the Academy of Fine Arts for several years, but failed the exam for several years.
In his nearly thirty years, he has not had a serious job and stays at home all day long to rely on his parents.
One day I get drunk when I’m in a bad mood and claim to be the aloofness of an artist.
Until the sixth time he failed the exam, he still never reviewed himself. He complained that God deliberately made fun of him and did not meet his talents.
even blamed my mother for not being able to give me a good background.
On the contrary, my cousin Zhou Yu . He has long understood that he is more aware of his heart than the sky, but he is lazy and pointed out to the point:
"I blame this and that all day long. I think the one who should blame the most is himself."
The biggest sorrow of a person is not that he has problems, but that he does not know that he has problems.
Wang Yangming once said:
"Learning must rebel against oneself. If you only blame others, you will only see others wrong, but you will not see yourself wrong."
People who are always used to finding problems from the outside world cannot change the status quo, nor can you recognize yourself.
Socrates says that life without examination is not worth living.
Check yourself, reflect on yourself, and summarize yourself is self-reflection.
Not self-reflective is not enough to show right and wrong; not self-reflective is not enough to increase experience; not self-reflective is not enough to learn lessons.
Not reflecting on one's own will not be enough to grow.
can learn from copper, and can correct your clothes and wear, learn from people, and can know gains and losses, learn from history, and can know rise and fall.
Introspection means looking in the mirror with copper, people, history, and one's past experience.
not only needs to reflect on one's own, but also need to reflect on one's own regularly and regularly.
Introspection makes us realize whether we have done enough, right, how far away we are from what we want, what else can we do; introspection seems to make people find a lighthouse for navigation and check whether each itinerary is off track.
Only when the steering wheel is in place every time when the rudder is turned, and the power is sufficient every time when sailing, so that the difference will not be a slight difference or a thousand miles will be lost.
written at the end
Aristotle said:
"The ultimate value of life lies in the ability to awaken and think, not just in survival."
No chewing knowledge is just a dough that has not been kneaded.
Similarly, the life you have lived without reflection will only stay where you are.
people are more important to know themselves, and then reflect on themselves and eventually self-discipline.
