to get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation. whether you liken yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, whether you think you are a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature that has its own reason of existence. if you earnestly admire yourself youll have a real sense of self-appreciation, which will give you confidence. as soon as you gain full confidence in yourself youll be enabled to fight and overcome any adversity.


to get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when its needed. in time of anger, do yourself a favor by giving vent to it in a quiet place so that you wont be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep or taking some tonic. show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life. unless you know perfectly well when and how to do yourself a favor, you wont be confident and ready enough to resist the attack of illness.


to get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control of ones life. then one will find ones life full of color and flavor.
