三分观心丨 少说多听  Listen More and Speak Less

凡事多换位思考，勿以自己的苦乐为唯一考虑。少要求对方，多要求自己，是人与人和谐相处之道。

Look at things from the other person’s point of view
rather than merely consider your own feelings.
Be strict with yourself but lenient towards others,
and you will get along with them naturally.

有目标是好事，但不能执著。执著就是只从一个角度看问题，不能接受变化，并且会因无常而产生烦恼、痛苦。有执著，就是缺少智慧；缺少智慧，就会狭隘；狭隘，就容易走极端。既要有锲而不舍的精神，又要有闲庭信步的心态。好好闻思、学习，增长智慧。

Having goals is a good thing,
but do not get too attached to them.

Attachment makes one look at things
from only one perspective

without
being able to accept and embrace changes,
and this may lead to afflictions and sufferings.
With attachment, there is less wisdom, resulting in narrow-mindedness
and even extremism.
We need the spirit of perseverance
and an easy-going state of mind.
Study Buddhism and cultivate wisdom.

人长两个耳朵，却只有一张嘴巴，这种生理结构预示我们应少说多听。可大多数人喜欢说而不愿听。

We have two ears and one mouth. This physiological structure indicates that we should listen more and speak less. But most of us like speaking rather than listening.
