they are not satisfied, and they do not find that what they have is the envy of others.
Carnegie said in the weakness of Human Nature:
"many of the troubles in life come from blindly keeping up with others and forgetting to enjoy our own life."
in fact, there is no need for us to make unnecessary comparisons with others.
how can you be happy without contentment?
do not envy those who are happier than themselves, do not envy those who are better than themselves, and know how to enjoy what they have.
only when one can be contented can one keep a happy mood.
nine times out of ten things go wrong when you are alive.
always be grateful for what you have.

those who do not know enough know themselves
know their own shortcomings, and people will live a more thorough life.
Mr. Bing Xin's grandfather, Xie Zixiu, once wrote a couplet:
"there is a lack of contentment."
A person must first put himself in the right position and calm his mind before he can figure out what can be done and what cannot be done.
there is a saying in Mencius: "if you can't do it, you can't do it."
people always put their mistakes on others and exaggerate their achievements.
if you think you are a little clever, you feel good about yourself.
such people are often not very promising.
there is an old Chinese saying: "people are expensive and know themselves."
there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside, and no one is perfect.
everyone has shortcomings. If you are afraid of it and avoid it, it will always be your hard wound.

smoothed out the edges and corners, lost the will to fight, no longer work hard, no longer live seriously, leaving only to eat and wait to die.
Zhuangzi said, "the sorrow of a husband is not greater than death of his heart, and death comes second."
in Zhuangzi's view, if you live with a dead heart, you might as well die.
this is the greatest sorrow of a person.
Mr. Lu Xun said: "discontent is the upward wheel."
when people are not satisfied with slash-and-burn cultivation, they invent cattle ploughs and iron ploughs, and they create eight major cuisines if they are not satisfied with their hair and blood.
only if we are not satisfied can we go one step further.
