As the saying goes: "A dike of a thousand miles breaks in an ant nest." If we ignore small loopholes and mistakes, it may lead to catastrophe. For example, when climbing a mountain, people often feel at ease on the steep slopes, but get into trouble on the flat ground. This is because they are careless in the details. Therefore, we should keep a clear head when things are going well, and when things are going well, we should always think about the difficulties, setbacks and even blows that will follow, so as to prevent the occurrence of some kind of disaster in the future.
