Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself.
In all one's life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate(高估) yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. It's likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.
Gain a correct view of oneself. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.
Self-appreciate. Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. If you earnestly (诚挚地) admire yourself you'll have a real sense of self-appreciation.
In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing (释放) it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.

A. It has its own value.
