Confucius said, "When I see a sage, I want to be an equal with him. When you see someone who is not a sage, you must reflect on yourself. " This sentence seems simple, no matter how you look at it, it is just a sentence. But if you think deeply, who can do what Confucius said today? I think it's probably very few! However, the spirit of "seeing Si Qi, but not seeing him" is something that every one of us should have.
A cheerful person must have more friends and good popularity than an introverted person. Imagine if an introverted person envies those outgoing and cheerful people, if one day he just thinks, "Hey, if I were him, I wouldn't be lonely any more, if I were him …" If he doesn't try to make himself cheerful and become popular, then he will have all the "ifs". A person with good grades will definitely not be appreciated by teachers and classmates. If a person with poor grades dreams of getting better grades, being appreciated by teachers and praised by classmates, but if he doesn't work hard to improve himself and get excellent grades one day, he will only dream, then his dream will never come true. After all, he is a person with poor grades and is appreciated by his teachers. The praise of classmates is only a dream after all. The rich must have many powers that the poor don't. If a poor man wants to have the power of the rich but just sits there begging God instead of thinking about how to become a rich man and have the power of the rich, he can only sit on the ground and beg the rich to give money. If people don't have the spirit of "seeing Si Qi", then the poor are still poor, people with poor grades are still poor, and introverts are still introverts. This will not change. Some people only point fingers when they see people with bad morals, but have you ever thought that you have such an annoying personality and others hate you, so we should have the spirit of "introspection without morality"?
We should see the sages in the Four Wonders, not the sages.
