人生在世，和“自己”相處最多，打交道最多，但是往往悟不透“自己”。Whenyouaregoingupwardsinlifeyoutendtooverestimateyourself.Itseemsthateverythingyouseekforiswithinyourreach;luckandopportunitieswillcomeyourwayandyouareoverjoyedthattheyconstitutepartofyourworth.Whenyouaregoingdownhillyoutendtounderestimateyourself,mistakingdifficultiesandadversitiesforyourownincompetence.It'slikelythatyouthinkitwiseforyourselftoknowourplaceandstayalooffromworldlywearingamaskofcowardice,behindwhichtheflowofsapinyourlifewillberetarded.

人生走上坡路時，往往把自己估計過高，似乎一切所求的東西都能垂手可得，甚至把運氣和機遇也看做自己身價的一部分而喜不自勝。人在不得意時，又往往把自己估計過低，把困難和不利也看做自己的無能，以至把安分守己，與世無爭誤認為有自知之明，而實際上往往被怯懦的面具窒息了自己鮮活的生命。Togetathoroughunderstandingofoneselfistogainacorrectviewofoneselfandbeasoberrealist--awareofbothone'sstrengthandshortage.Youmaylookforwardhopefullytothefuturebutbesurenottoexpecttoomuch,foridealscanneverbefullyrealezed.Youmaybecourageoustomeetchallengesbutitshouldbecleartoyouwheretodirect

悟透自己，就是正確認識自己，也就是說要做一個冷靜的現實主義者，既知道自己的優勢，也知道自己的不足。我們可以憧憬人生，但期望值不能過高。因為在現實中，理想總是會打折扣的。可以迎接挑戰。但是必須清楚自己努力的方向。也就是說，人一旦有了自知之明，也就沒有什么克服不了的困難，沒有什么過不去的難關。Togetathoroughunderstandingofoneselfneedsselfappreciation.Whetheryoulikenyourselftoatoweringtreeorabladeofgrass,whetheryouthinkyouareahighmountainorasmallstone,yourepresentastateofnaturethathasitsownraisondetre.Ifyouearnestlyadmireyourselfyou'llhavearealsenseofself-appreciation,whichwillgiveyouconfidence.Assoonasyougainfullconfidenceinyourselfyou'llbeenabledtofightandovercomeanyadversity.

要悟透自己就要欣賞自己。無論你是一棵參天大樹，還是一棵小草，無論你成為一座巍峨的高山，還是一塊小小的石頭，都是一種天然，都有自己存在的價值。只要你認真地欣賞自己，你就會擁有一個真正的自我。只有自我欣賞才會有信心，一旦擁有了信心也就擁有了抵御一切逆境的動力。Togetathoroughunderstandingofoneselfalsorequiresdoingoneselfafavorwhenit'sneeded.Intimeofanger,doyourselfafavorbygivingventtoit

要悟透自己，就要心疼自己。在氣憤時心疼一下自己，找個僻靜處散散心，宣泄宣泄，不要讓那些無名之火傷身；憂傷時，要心疼一下自己，找個三五好友，訴說訴說，讓感情的陰天變晴；勞累時，你要心疼一下自己，為自己來一番問寒問暖，要明白人所擁有的不過是一個血肉之軀，經不住太多的風力霜劍；有病時，你要心疼一下自己，惟有對自己的心疼，才是戰勝疾病的信心和力量。Togetathoroughunderstandingofoneselfistogetafullcontrolofone's
