雙語智慧書·了解自己

89．了解自己
　　了解自己。要了解自己的天賦、才智、判斷和傾向。不了解自己的人無法掌控自己。世上有可以照臉的鏡子，卻沒有照出心靈的鏡子。那么，就用認真的自省來代替吧！當你忽略外部形象時，就會不斷提升、完善內(nèi)在形象。學會估量你的才智與做事能力，檢驗自己的勇氣，以便加以運用。穩(wěn)固你的根基，保持頭腦清醒，以應(yīng)對一切事情。


89．Know yourself
　Know yourself－in talents and capacity, in judgment and inclination. You cannot master yourself unless you know yourself. There are mirrors for the face but none for the mind. Let careful thought about yourself serve as a substitute. When the outer image is forgotten, keep the inner one to improve and perfect. Learn the force of your intellect and capacity for affairs, test the force of your courage in order to apply it, and keep your foundations secure and your head clear for everything.
