Self-Understanding

There is always one person who lives with us—ourselves. Confucius once said: "He who knows himself is enlightened; he who knows others is wise." Only by understanding and accepting ourselves can we be truly happy and healthy. Understanding our strengths allows us to know our development direction, while understanding our weaknesses helps us avoid mistakes and refrain from attempting things beyond our capabilities.

Facing Reality

We may not have been born into a wealthy family; our work may not be entirely satisfactory; our partners may not be clever and considerate; our children may not all be intelligent and obedient; we may also be facing setbacks and hardships... However, only by facing and accepting all of this, can we have the possibility of change. Only by recognizing and accepting reality can we make progress.

As humans live in a society composed of others, just as fish live in water, without the help of others, individuals cannot survive. According to psychologists, around 80% of life's troubles are related to one's social environment. Criticizing others, frequently losing one's temper, infringing on others' interests, and neglecting the boundaries of interpersonal relationships will only bring endless troubles to oneself.
