10. Don't just look at the shortcomings when looking at people

Everyone has their own characteristics, their own strengths, and their own weaknesses. You can't look down on others just because they are inferior in some way, and those who look down on others are often inferior to others.

There were two jars in the emperor's cupboard, one of pottery and the other of iron. The proud tin pot looks down on the clay pot and often ridicules it.

"Do you dare to touch me, clay pot?" Tin Tank asked arrogantly.

"Don't dare, Brother Tin Can." The modest clay pot replied.

"I knew you wouldn't dare, cowardly thing!" Tin Can spoke, showing an even more contemptuous look.

"I really don't dare to touch you, but I can't call it cowardice." The clay pot argues: "We are born with the task of holding things, not to collide with each other." I am not necessarily worse than you in our mission. Let's talk ...... again."

"Shut up!" Tin Can said angrily: "How dare you compare yourself to me! You wait, in a few days, you will be broken to pieces, but I am always here, not afraid of anything. ”

"Why do you say that?" said the clay pot, "We still live in harmony, what are you arguing about?" ”

"I'm ashamed to be with you, what are you!" "Let's see," said the tin can, "one day, I'm going to smash you to pieces!" ”

The clay pot is no longer bothered.

Time passed, many things happened in the world, the dynasty fell, the palace collapsed, and the two jars were left on the desolate grounds. History is full of dregs and dust on them, century after century.

One day, many years later, people came here, dug through the thick pile, and found the clay pot.

"Yo, there's a jar here!" One person said in surprise.

"Really, a clay pot!" The others cried out with joy.

Everyone picked up the clay pot, brushed off the soil on its body, and scrubbed it clean, exactly the same as when they were in the imperial cupboard, simple, beautiful, and light.

"What a beautiful clay pot!" One person said, "Be careful, don't break it, it's an ancient thing, it's very valuable." ”

"Thank you!" The clay pot said excitedly: "My brother tin pot is next to mine, please dig it out, it must be stuffy enough." ”

The people immediately started to dig up the earth. But there was no trace of an iron can. - It, I don't know what age, has been completely oxidized, and it has long disappeared without a trace.

The iron pot is indeed stronger than the clay pot, which is its strength, but the iron pot only sees its own strengths, but does not see the advantages of the clay pot: it is beautiful and can be preserved for thousands of years without any damage. It looks down on the clay pot and ridicules it, but what about the result? The clay pot has been immortal for thousands of years, but it has disappeared without a trace because it has been oxidized, no wonder the saying goes: "Look down on people, not as good as people." ”

There is a boxer named Tom Folkie in the United States, and he was only 20 years old when he first entered the Tao, which is the age of youth and vigor. With his powerful punches and nimble footwork, he has won several fights in a row, and he has become proud, believing that he is getting closer and closer to the king of boxing, and he is not looking down on some of the lesser-known fighters. At one point, his agent arranged for him to fight a boxer named Marca Richo, who had been boxing for at least nine years but had mediocre results, and at 36 he was already past the best age for boxers. This made Tom feel humiliated, and he threatened to "take down that old guy" in just three rounds! ”

The game began, Tom launched a ** storm attack as soon as he came on the court, left hook, right hook, and hit the tiger, Maca did not take the initiative to attack, just kept dodging, the audience applauded, Tom was even more proud, he thought that Marca was really vulnerable, but just a few seconds before the end of this round, Marca suddenly hit a heavy punch, Tom was knocked to the ground, Tom thought he was too careless, and he must give the other party some color in the next game. During the break, his coach told him that Maca was a tough opponent and told him to be careful. But as soon as he got on the court, Tom ignored his coach's warning, and as a result, Tom was never able to defeat his opponent, and the two fought for 12 rounds, and Tom won by points. However, it was not a glorious victory, and Tom paid a huge price: a torn corner of his eye and a fractured knuckle. In hindsight, I really shouldn't have underestimated Maka, although he was older, he had a lot more experience than himself. He has a strategy when he punches, unlike himself who blindly does it, he will protect himself, he has clear judgment...... It was a fluke that he was able to win, and Maca taught Tom a good lesson, and from then on Tom never dared to underestimate any fighter, whether a rookie or a veteran. Because he knows that everyone has their own extraordinary, and if you underestimate him, you will suffer a big loss.

In life, many people are also prone to make Tom's mistakes, they can see their own strengths, but when they look at others, they can only see their weaknesses, which is a pity, underestimating others will make you make wrong judgments, and it is easy to lose or even become the laughing stock of others, just like Tom Focky.

Underestimating the psychology of others is a major obstacle to your success, and you should always remind yourself: don't look down on anyone, you may not be better than others!
