Writer Lin Qingxuan once said: "When a person faces the outside world, what he needs is a window; when a person faces himself, what he needs is a mirror." I think this sentence is rich in meaning. Windows allow us to understand the outside world, expand our horizons, and enrich ourselves; mirrors allow us to understand ourselves, reflect on ourselves, and correct ourselves. A person's growth and development cannot be separated from opening the window or facing the mirror. Only by combining the two can one improve and perfect himself.
The outside world is so wonderful! Open the window and look at the world, and you will have unlimited scenery!
Everyone opens the window of vision and the window of the world in a different way: some people study, reading can make them rich, and reading can make them talented; some people travel, traveling can make them happy, and traveling can make them happy It's pleasing to the eye; some people make friends, friends can complement each other, friends can help each other... Of course, you can also do both.
For me, the best way to expand my horizons is to read. In my opinion, reading is a way of making friends. “Reading is a kind of getting close. If you are close to the Tao, you will be virtuous. If you are close to the rules, you will be disciplined. If you are close to the wisdom, you will be wise. If you are close to the literature, you will be elegant. If you are close to the literature, you will be righteous. If you are close to the saints, you will be virtuous.” Reading is also a journey, to appreciate the beauty, freshness and pleasantness of the mountains and rivers; to experience the tranquility, tranquility and simplicity of the countryside; to feel the splendor and splendor of nature; to touch the long history and profound heritage of the monuments... Reading makes I see a broader society and a distant future. Five thousand years up and down, ninety thousand miles across, the soul soars freely in the boundless vision of words.
When we open the window to see the world, don’t forget to open the mirror and reflect on ourselves. Only a person who is good at reflecting on himself can make real progress! The heart is like a bright mirror, brush it diligently all the time. When you see a virtuous person, think about them, and when you see a virtuous person, you should reflect on yourself. Your words and deeds reflect your thoughts, and your thoughts reflect your soul. Don’t let the devil peek into the mirror of your soul, and always flap your angelic wings to brush it and reflect on yourself. A person continues to grow and improve himself through reflection!
Some people say: "Your current temperament hides the road you have traveled, the books you have read, and the people you have loved." Of course, it also hides your reflection in the mirror.
When people live in society, they should have windows and mirrors. If you can open the window to see the world, you are knowledgeable; if you can open the mirror and think about yourself, you are wise.
Looking at the world through the window and reflecting on oneself in the mirror, I think they are an inseparable pair. Only by observing the world without observing oneself, a person cannot be profound; by merely examining oneself without observing the world, a person can be narrow-minded.
Only by effectively combining "viewing the world through the window" and "examining oneself in the mirror" can a person achieve a perfect self-leap!
