Mencius, original text.
Mencius said: "Zilu, if people tell them that they have passed, they will be happy." When Yu hears good words, he worships.
Da Shun has great things, good with others, self-sacrificing from others, and being happy to take from others as good. From farming, pottery, fishing, and even being the emperor, it is nothing more than taking from others. He who takes what is good to others is also the one who is good to others.
Therefore, a gentleman is very kind to others. ”
Translations. Mencius said, "Zilu, when others point out his faults, he rejoices."
Yu, when you hear the kind words, thank you. The great Shun is even more remarkable, sharing good deeds with others, sacrificing himself and following others, willing to absorb the merits of others to do good deeds himself. From being a farmer, potter, fisherman, to becoming the Son of Heaven, there is not a single merit to learn from others.
To absorb the merits of Danchai others to do good deeds for oneself is to do good deeds with others. Therefore, the highest example of a gentleman is to do good deeds with others. ”
Appreciation. Mencius in this chapter uses Zhongyou (Zilu), one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius"; Shun, one of the Five Emperors; Dayu, the founding king of the Xia Dynasty and a famous person in water control, as an example, illustrates the practice and function of perfection in real life. In fact, the specific manifestation of "supreme goodness" is based on people's words and deeds and attitude towards the world, and Emperor Shun is a model for all people to follow.
Advice is good for deeds, and good medicine is good for disease. There are not many kings who are good at admonishment, and there are very few who are good at discovering their faults and absorbing the good points of others. The shortcoming of human nature is that it is constantly hovering between inferiority and conceit, and cannot maintain a balance.
Nothing in the world has an independent individual and is inseparable from each other. Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. People who often see the shortcomings of others are filled with some negative things in their own psychology, and they live in anxiety and depression all the time.
People who often see the advantages of others are imperceptibly influenced by those noble ideas, because with the help of the principle of interdependence between things, he becomes more excellent. A senior Dade Zeng Zai Kai said: Put yourself at the bottom, in fact, you are at the top; Put yourself in the highest place, in fact you are in the lowest place.
As the psychologist Adler said in the book "Inferiority and Transcendence": The true meaning of life lies in sharing, dedication, and cooperation. The value of human life cannot be reflected in its own interests, and the value of any human being lies in its social values that are conducive to the common good.

What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses?
Everyone's greatest room for growth lies in their strongest strengths, and spend more time making the most of your strengths instead of spending a lot of time making up for your weaknesses. Making up for weaknesses, while sometimes necessary, only keeps us from failing, not what sets us apart. Because many abilities are innate, relying on education, learning and training is also half the effort, and may not have good results.
If you lack the ability to imagine space, but you are engaged in architectural design; You're not sensitive to numbers, but you're working as an accountant. Not only will it be difficult for you to achieve big results, but even your work will be difficult.
We must have the ability to discover our own strengths, and we must be good at using them, otherwise your advantages will be wasted and worthless. Just like a diamond, if it sinks at the bottom of the sea, it is tantamount to broken copper and iron, as long as it is fished out and really used, its value can be reflected.
I see a lot of people who are looking for a job, always magnifying their weaknesses and not seeing their strengths. In fact, from a statistical point of view, there are very few students who are perfect or useless, and most of them are outstanding in only one aspect. When you are looking for a job, try to highlight your strengths.
For example, your academic performance is not good, and you participate in social activities more. Whether it's a resume or an interview, you need to try to tap into your strengths from social activities. I read the newspaper, and a few years ago, Shanghai Jiao Tong University had a famous person.
This student's transcript was very unsightly during college, and there were several make-up exams. But in the end, he stood out from the crowd and joined GE, one of the top 10 companies in the Fortune world, as sales. So, you don't always need to worry about your disadvantages, the key is to highlight your strengths.

Only those who are broad-minded and humble can know how to appreciate others. On the other hand, they are narrow-minded, jealous of others, and scornful of their strengths. Zhou Yu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" died of anger because of this.
