[00:00.95]5.Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself
[00:07.16]In all one’s lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing 1 with.
[00:14.24]But it is precisely 2 oneself that one has the least understanding of.
[00:19.25]When you are going upwards 3 in life you tend to overestimate 4 yourself.
[00:24.04]When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself.
[00:28.29]It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to know your place and stay aloof 5 from worldly wearing a mask of cowardice,
[00:37.32]behind which the flow of sap in your life will be retarded 6.
[00:41.13]To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself
[00:46.79]and be a sober realist—aware of both one’s strength and shortage.
[00:52.46]You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully 7 realized.
[01:01.28]You may be courageous 8 to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.
[01:08.55]To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation.
[01:13.77]Whether you liken yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass,
[01:18.56]whether you think you are a high mountain or a small stone,
[01:22.70]you represent a state of nature that has its own reason of existence.
[01:27.38]If you earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation, which will give you confidence.
[01:35.22]As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself you’ll be enabled to fight and overcome any adversity.
[01:43.06]To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when it’s needed.
[01:49.82]In time of anger, do yourself a favor by giving vent 9 to it in a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt by its flames;
[01:58.64]in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one;
[02:08.11]in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep or taking some tonic 10.
[02:15.31]Show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life.
[02:20.23]Unless you know perfectly 11 well when and how to do yourself a favor,
[02:25.16]you won’t be confident and ready enough to resist the attack of illness.
[02:29.31]To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control of one’s life.
[02:34.78]Then one will find one’s life full of color and flavor.
