Self-awareness

This may be the focal point that I have to strike at to start with a real change...
1.“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
2.“Success is achieved by development of our strengths, not by elimination of our weakness.”
3.“The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.”---Thanks to Kongfuzi. I am not superior. But I feel happy that I am extremely distressed by my limitations now and has no interest in showcasing my superior intelligence.
4.“We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.”---So true! That's why we and they see the world so differently!
5.“When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine yourself.”
---Again, deepest thanks to Kongfuzi. Cant really agree with u more!
