In your thoughts and behavior, the element most likely to damage your personality and your image is selfishness. In reality, people who think only of themselves and their advantage are not happy.
我們最大的敵人,常常就是我們自己,其中又以自私自利最是可怕。而事實上,凡事皆以自己為前提,自私自利的人,也不會快樂。
Selfish people spend hours deliberating how to gain benefits and advantages. Worrying about worldly gains and losses can create a great deal of nervous stress. If people can find inner peace, they will find happiness. But if people, out of selfishness, think they're smart seeking happiness in outwitting and outmanoeuvering others for an advantage, they'll find a lot of unhappiness.
因為自私自利,他不肯讓自己吃虧,自然容易患得患失,而常有精神上的壓力,這種人自以為聰明,實際上卻自絕於心靈上的平靜與安樂,是最愚蠢不過的了。
The Chinese proverb reminds you: Guard against your own selfishness before you guard against the selfishness of others.
