Why do we still make mistakes despite the experience of our predecessors?

Let me tell you a story first.

It is said that once upon a time, there was a pair of masters and apprentices who went down the mountain to parade, and when they were walking on the road, the apprentice saw that there was shitch on the ground, and the master naturally saw it, and the apprentice asked the master, what do you think this is? The master said: "It's a bubble of, stay away, don't step on it", but the apprentice didn't believe it, thinking that it was a piece of **, so he said that the master was obviously a piece of **, and we picked it up and went down the mountain after we had a coil.

The master smiled and said again, 'Apprentice, ** is hard and shiny and golden, and the dregs of this animal are diluted and have a foul smell. Don't touch it, let's keep going.'

The apprentice could only nod and agree at that time, but he kept thinking in his heart that he didn't go far before he found a reason to run back and find what he thought was a 'lump of **'. When I picked it up with my hand, I found that it was the same as the master said, this "**" was too diluted, and it was all over my hands. At this time, he thought that what the master said was stinky, and he didn't believe it, so he used the hand he had just gone to get the "**", dipped it a little, and put it in his mouth.

This story is simple and clear, sometimes for the kind reminder of us, but more often than not, it is not accepted by us, and the self is worshipping in my heart, always thinking that I am right, and I don't want to believe it. Not only did I not believe it, but I had to pick it up, and I didn't say anything, I had to get some and put it in my mouth to taste it.

Since ancient times, there have been many good ways to govern the country, but they can be accepted and not many are integrated, and of course, you have to consider things, time and relationships, etc. There is no right thing in the world, and the experience taught by the predecessors may only be suitable for those people at that time, but it will not work for the present. But we still have to make sure that the heart of reverence draws the good from it and discharges the chaff.

In the face of the ever-changing society, many difficult and complex problems have never been experienced by our predecessors, and the experience of our predecessors can only be used for our reference, and the way to solve problems and the future depends on our own choice and exploration.

The development of the third society is in twists and turns, in the wave of progress, for us personally, only by learning more, studying the gains and losses and successes and failures of the predecessors, often find out, reflect on their own gaps and deficiencies, in order to better solve practical problems in the society, in work and life, as far as possible to avoid making fewer mistakes, and at the same time in the mistakes continue to learn from experience, summarize lessons, revise and change their own life goals, in order to progress.

First, the implementation of the experience of predecessors is too rigid, and does not follow the measures according to the situation. There is a very big gap between the experience of our predecessors and the background of the times in which we live, and if we cannot analyze specific problems in detail, but apply them rigidly, we will naturally make mistakes.

2. Blind arrogance. The reason why many people always make mistakes is that they think that the experience of their predecessors is basically dross, and they have blind confidence in themselves, thinking that their own practice is more practical than the experience of their predecessors.

3. Lack of grasp of the essence of the experience of predecessors, and half-understanding. As a result, people who do not know how to apply the experience of their predecessors in practical problems will eventually make mistakes.

With the experience of our predecessors, we still make mistakes because practice brings out the truth, and only after we have experienced it ourselves can we know what the result will be. It is because the two situations are different, and the essence should be taken and the dross should be discarded, rather than being rigidly copied.

Because the experience of our predecessors is not necessarily applicable to today's society, and now that society is developing faster and faster, the experience of our predecessors may not be able to help us.

We have the same problem as our predecessors;

The experience of our predecessors only allows us to eliminate the wrong choices, and does not directly find the right answer;

We think we're smarter than our predecessors and like to keep trying.

It's normal to make mistakes, but how many people haven't made mistakes since ancient times? The experience of our predecessors also has imperfect and incomplete parts, and human beings are constantly making progress and innovating, so with the experience of our predecessors, we will still make mistakes.

As the saying goes, if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? Everyone is not perfect, do something on the basis of predecessors, we draw experience, and then gradually explore by ourselves, there will always be mistakes, only make mistakes will know how to do it.

Because some of the experiences of our predecessors are not correct, and not all of them can be learned, even if we are experienced, we will make mistakes.

Because the experience of the past is not necessarily suitable for us now. We need to build on the experience of those who have come before us and keep up with the times.

Sometimes the experience of our predecessors cannot be the standard for what we do now, and there is no immutable standard of behavior for everything in the world, we can only act according to opportunities.

Because we often don't believe in our predecessors, we believe in ourselves more, and blind self-confidence will make us repeat the mistakes of the past and make mistakes again.
