1. Migratory birds flying far away need the guidance of the wind so as not to lose their way; ships sailing far need the guidance of a compass so as not to deviate from the target; people walking need the guidance of street lights so as not to get lost. direction. And we also need to reflect on ourselves from time to time so as not to lose the direction of our goals in the long journey of life.
2. The road of life is full of temptations of all kinds. Perhaps a temporary superior life will make people lose their sense of urgency and slow down our progress without realizing it. pace. He may also be the thing you dream of, but unfortunately, the price of getting him is to deviate from your own direction. Some people compare temptation to beautiful neon lights, which are dazzling and beautiful. Just like neon lights decorate the city, they decorate our lives, attracting our attention and slowing down our pace all the time.
3. But we cannot delay even a little bit on the road of life! Therefore, we must learn to reflect on ourselves at all times and resist these temptations. Only by always reflecting on yourself can you resist temptation. There are countless temptations in life, and it is inevitable that you will lose your mind sometimes and be unable to extricate yourself. At this time, we must learn to self-reflect, regain our sense, and return to the right path.
4. Only by always reflecting on yourself can you not deviate from the original direction. Even if we resist the temptation, life is too long and our goals are too far away, so we often deviate from the direction without even realizing it. Self-examination at this time is like a compass, which can help us avoid detours and achieve twice the result with half the effort. "King Gou Jian of Yue rebelled against his country because he worked hard and meditated on his courage. When he sat down, his courage was lifted up, and he tasted courage when he ate and drank." The King of Yue used the method of lying down on firewood and tasting courage to remind himself not to forget his previous shame, and finally achieved his goal and made a generation successful. A strong country has also become a legend for a generation. We can also use this method to work towards the future.
5. Self-examination at all times can also help us improve ourselves. Zengzi said: "I examine myself three times every day. Are I unfaithful in my plans for others? Do I not trust my friends when I make friends? Do I not practice what I preach?" There is so much chaos and hustle and bustle, the heart is moved by external gains, and almost loses the true self; material desires are rampant, so that people's hearts are no longer old; they pursue external desires and ignore the inner integrity. In such a society, we must always reflect on ourselves, correct our own mistakes, and carry forward our own strengths. No one is perfect, we cannot be a perfect person, but we can create a more perfect ourselves! Times have changed and society is changing. We cannot grasp the trends of society, but we can resist temptation and avoid detours through constant self-examination. Change yourself and improve yourself through constant introspection. Only by using yourself as a mirror can you know how to advance or retreat.
