People are expensive and have self-knowledge prose

An ant and an elephant quarreled, and the two sides refused to give way to each other, and the "war" gradually escalated. The elephant stuck out its nose and pinched the ant's neck, so that the ant ran away, ran to a pile of sand and plunged into it, leaving only one leg exposed. A passing rabbit didn't understand. "shh!" The ant looked back at the elephant that was chasing him, and then said savagely, "Look at how Lao Zi stumbles like a somersault ..." Before saying his word, the elephant rumbled past like an armored car, and the ant became fertilizer for the tree!

the irony of ants is that they have no self-knowledge. More than 2,5 years ago, Lao Tzu said that "those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear". But in life, many people are not much better than ants. They don't know "little power" and try to "bear the burden", so they get carried away first, then get carried away, get carried away, and the boat of life loses its way and even capsizes.

I remember there is a saying that life is like a scale: it is easy to feel inferior if you weigh yourself lightly; Weighed, easy to be arrogant; Only by being accurate can we know ourselves properly.

It is said that Emperor Qianlong once inspected the scientific research in the south of the Yangtze River, and two candidates were neck and neck. Qianlong personally made a couplet: Yansuochi Tangliu. Ju Zijia saw his face changed greatly and turned around on the spot. Juzi B thought for a long time before leaving. The examiner was puzzled by the fact that the winner who left first in Qianlong's point was the champion. Qianlong said that this couplet seems simple, but it is embedded in the five behaviors of "fire, gold, water, earth and wood", and its artistic conception is beautiful, which is absolutely. A knows at a glance, has self-knowledge, and is obviously superior to B. A few years later, someone finally got the bottom line: the cannon tower.

Einstein was a great scientist and a wise man with self-knowledge. In 1952, Einstein's old friend, Weizmann, the first president of Israel, died of illness. The Israeli Prime Minister intends to make Einstein president, and sent someone to inquire about Einstein's intention. "Sir, I know a little about nature, and I know almost nothing about people. How can a man like me be president? "Einstein politely declined. Later, the Israeli ambassador to the United States brought a personal letter from the Israeli Prime Minister, formally asking Einstein to be the presidential candidate of Israel. Einstein issued a statement in the newspaper and officially declined, and continued to engage in his beloved scientific research until his death.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the president of a country is an exciting position, but Einstein clearly knows that although he is an accomplished scientist, he is not a politician, and scientific research and governing the country are two completely different things.

self-knowledge is the foundation and prerequisite of success. Only when a person knows himself accurately, knows how to adjust his mentality and pace, how to arrange his various desires and needs, and does what he can, can he walk his life step by step.
