Knowing yourself

The easiest thing in the world is knowing yourself. If you don't know yourself but know others or their affairs, there's nothing more difficult than that.

It's natural that you know your own past and present experiences, abilities, and achievements better than anyone else. You know your own educational background and your own accomplishments.

So, how much do you know about your own character and your ability to avoid difficulties? Besides yourself, who else would know? Therefore, if you calmly examine yourself and do work that matches your abilities, you will not fail.

First, you must know yourself. To do this, you must evaluate yourself in various aspects without any falsehood.

Only when you correctly evaluate yourself can you correctly evaluate others.

The ancients said that if you know yourself and others, you will have no trouble in anything.

In other words, you can do everything harmoniously. However, looking at past events, there are many cases where people who are good at knowing others fail because they don't know themselves.

The reason why everything doesn't follow the natural order and lacks harmony is because I don't know myself.

Even if you know yourself, you shouldn't make a distorted evaluation. You must make an honest evaluation without mercy.

Knowing others is difficult, but knowing yourself is both easy and the most difficult thing. Partially, knowing yourself might be easy, but knowing your overall position and essence is difficult.

It seems that there are more people in the world who blindly start things without first evaluating themselves. This blind multitude occupies the world.

Before doing anything else, find the path that only you can take.

Don't blindly wander down various paths in the world; first find the answer to the question, "Who am I?" There is no other way.
