Use people to judge gains and losses
The most common mistake people make is to believe in themselves too much and not listen to the opinions of others. The reasons are nothing more than two points: first, the thought of self-respect is at work, and second, I only see what I can see and what I want to see.
Most emperors in ancient times often showed incredible cruelty towards loyal ministers who were loyal and remonstrating. Even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sometimes criticized his minister Wei Zheng to the point of gnashing his teeth with hatred.
What about us ordinary people? When hearing objections, they may blush, become thick-necked, and look at each other angrily; in severe cases, they may get angry, taunt each other, or even fight with fists, which has turned from a "literary fight" to a "military fight."
It’s no wonder that if you want to hear opinions, you can only hear praises.
There is a saying in China that "three cobblers make one Zhuge Liang". How popular yet profound words! Even if one person has three heads and six arms, he cannot conquer the world. One's abilities are limited, one's thoughts are limited, and one's creation is also limited.
When Comrade Mao Zedong talked about the "mass line", he once said a thought-provoking saying: "The wisdom of the masses is infinite."
Praise cannot be counted as an opinion, and echoing it does not mean much. The most useful thing is to point out wrong opinions. The decision-maker of the Three Gorges Project said a simple and profound statement to reporters: "The most valuable thing for the Three Gorges construction is the opinions of the opponents."
Many foreign entrepreneurs, for Let employees speak freely, organize some "rambling meetings" frequently, encourage everyone to "talk nonsense" and find sparks of thinking. They stipulate that no matter who proposes an idea, no matter how ridiculous or incredible the idea is, everyone must applaud and shout "very good, very good" in unison.
They have good intentions in order to listen to opinions!
Every day we have to look in the mirror to see if we are dressed appropriately and if there is dust on our faces. So, how do we detect our moral dust? How to find the deficiencies in our thinking? How can we avoid creative mistakes? It's not difficult, other people are the best mirror.
You can know the gains and losses by learning from others.

The topic reflects strong thinking. Faced with various opinions, should I believe what others say, or should I believe in myself? In fact, the topic tells us that the topic "Believe in yourself and listen to other people's opinions" also includes other viewpoints. If you want to listen to others' correct evaluations to adjust and improve yourself, such as "Taizong of the Tang Dynasty took Wei Zheng as a mirror." It is easy to close one's eyes and ears if one does not listen to others' correct evaluations. For example, "King Zhou Li created two well-known idioms for Chinese culture during his reign. One is 'the road is based on the eyes' and the other is 'defending the people's mouths is better than guarding the rivers'." '. "Listening to other people's wrong evaluations can easily mislead people and the country. For example, "Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty favored Concubine Yang and listened to Yang Guozhong in his later years." Don’t pay too much attention to other people’s wrong evaluations, etc. When composing your essay, you must consider two aspects: "others' evaluations and your own performance." Note that when making an argument, you should not be too absolute and think dialectically. Regarding "believe in yourself" and "listen to opinions", we cannot completely deny the latter just because we emphasize the former, nor can we completely deny the former just because we emphasize the latter. You can write argumentative essays rich in literary talent and philosophy, and you can also make up stories to reflect your philosophy.
