Throughout my journey in life, I've navigated the intricate and beautiful maze of human relationships. The wisdom I've gained along the way is like a finely aged wine, growing in depth and aroma with each passing year.
In my younger days, I often felt the urge to show off my talents and abilities. Looking back, that behavior - what we used to call "strutting like a peacock" - seems utterly foolish now. But as time passed and I experienced countless meetings and partings, I came to realize that the true power of relationships stems from humility and understanding.
"Always put yourself in the other person's shoes." This golden rule has been etched in my heart throughout my life. I firmly believed that trying to think from others' perspectives and making an effort to understand their emotions and situations was the foundation of human relationships. When I approached people with this attitude, I often found myself receiving the same treatment in return.
I particularly want to emphasize that one should never exploit others' weaknesses. Using someone's vulnerabilities for momentary gain ultimately damages one's own character. It's like drinking from a poisoned well - the harm inevitably comes back to you.
I've continuously reflected on these lessons in the small moments of everyday life. Each morning when I opened my eyes, I thought about how I would treat the people I'd meet that day. I tried to think from their perspective, make a genuine effort to understand them, acknowledge their strengths, and embrace their weaknesses.
This is the most precious wisdom I've gained through decades of life: Rather than trying to show off your talents and abilities, using them to understand and help others is when you truly experience the richness of human relationships. When we live with this attitude, we can form deeper, more meaningful connections and discover the true value of life within them.
