Brief analysis
Confucius' statement that "a threesome must have a teacher" has been highly appreciated by later intellectuals. His spirit of learning from others with an open mind is valuable, but what is more valuable is that he should learn from both good and bad, which contains profound philosophy. His words are helpful to guide us to communicate with people, cultivate self-cultivation and increase our knowledge.
Although "a threesome, there must be a teacher" can be said to be a household name, but people are not always able to do it. People often make a mistake-that is, they often look at their own advantages and find faults in others; Or only see their own advantages and the shortcomings of others, but can't see their own shortcomings and the advantages of others; Love to compare one's strengths with others' weaknesses. When getting along with others, people who are better than themselves are not convinced; Despise and hate those who have shortcomings and mistakes; Be strict with yourself and be lenient with others; Take the correct truth as a flashlight, only shine on others, not yourself. This not only blocks the way to learn from others and improve yourself (choose the good ones and follow them), but also inevitably leads to disharmony and even conflict in interpersonal relationships.
