Chapter 3, Section 6 A story that changed Einstein's life?

You need to know yourself, and you need to reflect on yourself. ? ?

There was a Jew who didn't like studying when he was a child. He played around with a group of friends all day long. No matter how his mother persuaded him, the child just ignored him and didn't listen to him at all.This situation changed when he was 16 years old. ?
One autumn morning, the 16-year-old boy was about to go fishing by the river with his fishing rod. His father stopped him and told him a story, which changed his life. ?
His father said to him: "Yesterday, Uncle Jack and I went to clean a factory chimney. We climbed up the handrail step by step. It was the same when we came down. Uncle Jack got off first, and I followed behind. After getting out of the chimney, we found a strange situation: Uncle Jack’s body was covered with black dust, and I It turned out to be clean."?
The father smiled and said to his son:?
"At that time, I looked at Uncle Jack and thought that I must be as dirty as him, so I ran to the river next to me and washed it vigorously. But Uncle Jack, on the contrary, saw that I was clean, and thought I was clean. The same, so I washed my hands casually, and went to the street. This is good, the people on the street thought he was a lunatic, and looked at him and laughed."?
The boy couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, and his father also laughed, and then said solemnly: "Really, no one else can be your mirror.

Only by yourself can you show your true face.If you use other people as a mirror, an idiot may think he is a genius. "?
Hearing this, the boy lowered his head in shame. ?
From then on, he no longer went to those naughty companions.In the course of his later life, he always insisted on self-reflection, and finally became the greatest physicist in human history. ?
He is Einstein. ?
Mind walk?

Everyone's self-awareness is not born with it, but gradually developed in the process of growth.People can understand the world through self-awareness, and can also conduct self-reflection. ?
In "The Analects of Confucius", Zeng Zi said: I examine myself three times a day.Even saints have to reflect on themselves, let alone ordinary people.When you lose yourself, you may wish to think about the advice Einstein's father gave him: others cannot be your mirror, only you can reflect your true face.Then, always reflect on yourself, correct your thoughts, behaviors and goals, and move forward steadily on the road of life. ?
