人们在遇到别人蛮横无理的时候,往往怒火中烧,可是忽然转眼一想自己也有过错,不知不觉怒气就消失得干干净净。由此看来孟子所强调的自我反省,实在是息事宁人、涵养正气、受益获福、求得身心快乐的最好办法,千万不要当作一般道学家的套话来看待。
The highest endeavor of the mind, and the highest virtue, is to understand things by intuition.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
