A philosopher said: "Everyone comes to the world carrying two baskets. The basket in front always contains the shortcomings of others, and the basket in the back always contains his own shortcomings."

The main cause of this pattern is people's vanity, but the influence of society on people cannot be ignored. People's advantages are often affirmed and praised by people; their shortcomings are often denied and criticized by people. Advantages and disadvantages must coexist, but I rarely hear people say how many shortcomings I have, but from time to time I hear people bragging blindly, as if they only have advantages and no shortcomings, but they don't know that bragging is their own shortcomings. In fact, putting one's own shortcomings into the basket behind you is a kind of escape, which cannot be thrown away after all. This naturally leads to the phenomenon of "seeing only the shortcomings of others" that is not surprising.

People only know how to indulge themselves blindly, and stuff their shortcomings into the basket at the back, making them accumulate more and more. Naturally, in order to seek a balance between the front and back, people continue to put shortcomings in the basket in front of them - others are not serious mistakes. Just when you are glad that you don't have as many shortcomings as others, you are actually indirectly indulging one of your own shortcomings. Of course, the shortcomings of others should be pointed out, but how can a person who cannot even eliminate his own shortcomings point out the shortcomings of others? Only by slowly eliminating your own shortcomings can you be qualified to point out the shortcomings of others.

Some people often like to listen to compliments from others and are afraid that others will point out their shortcomings. In fact, this is not necessary. There is an old Chinese saying: "Good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease; good advice is bad for the ears and good for the deeds." Isn't it "good advice" when others point out your shortcomings?

Each of us should not be afraid of others pointing out our shortcomings, so that we can see our own shortcomings clearly.

If you can treat your own shortcomings correctly, don't boast too much, and don't cover up your shortcomings, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages, so why not do it?

Therefore, to show off your shortcomings, you might as well change the positions of the poles on your shoulders, so that the basket in front always contains your own shortcomings, and the basket in the back holds the shortcomings of others, so as to reduce your burden. However, this way you will live a more fulfilling and energetic life on the journey of life!
