Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself [00:00:16]
In all one's lifetime it is oneself [00:00:20]
that one spends the most time [00:00:23]
being with or dealing with. [00:00:25]
But it is precisely oneself [00:00:28]
that one has the least understanding of. [00:00:30]
When you are going upwards in life [00:00:33]
you tend to overestimate yourself. [00:00:35]
When you are going downhill [00:00:38]
you tend to underestimate yourself. [00:00:40]
To get a thorough understanding of oneself [00:00:43]
is to gain a correct view of oneself [00:00:46]
and be a sober realist- [00:00:49]
aware of both one's strength and shortage. [00:00:51]
You may look forward hopefully to the future [00:00:55]
but be sure not to expect too much, [00:00:57]
for ideals can never be fully realized. [00:01:00]
You may be courageous to meet challenges [00:01:03]
but it should be clear to you [00:01:07]
where to direct your efforts. [00:01:08]
To get a thorough understanding of oneself [00:01:11]
needs self-appreciation. [00:01:14]
Whether you compare yourself [00:01:17]
to a towering tree or a blade of grass, [00:01:19]
whether you think [00:01:23]
you are a high mountain or a small stone, [00:01:24]
you represent a state of nature [00:01:27]
that has its own reason of existence. [00:01:30]
If you earnestly admire yourself [00:01:33]
you'll have a real sense of self-appreciation, [00:01:36]
which will give you confidence. [00:01:39]
As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself [00:01:42]
you'll be enabled to fight and overcome any adversity. [00:01:45]
To get a thorough understanding of oneself [00:01:50]
also requires doing oneself a favor when it's needed. [00:01:54]
In time of anger, do yourself a favor [00:01:58]
by giving an outlet to it in a quiet place [00:02:01]
so that you won't be hurt by its flames; [00:02:05]
in time of sadness, do yourself a favor [00:02:08]
by sharing it with your friends [00:02:11]
so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one; [00:02:13]
in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor [00:02:18]
by getting a good sleep or taking some stimulant. [00:02:21]
Show yourself loving concern about [00:02:26]
your health and daily life. [00:02:28]
Unless you know perfectly well [00:02:31]
when and how to do yourself a favor, [00:02:32]
you won't be confident and ready enough [00:02:36]
to resist the attack of illness. [00:02:38]
To get a thorough understanding of oneself [00:02:41]
is to get a full control of one's life. [00:02:44]
Then one will find one's life full of [00:02:47]
color and flavor. [00:02:49]
