Do Our Best with Realistic Awareness 拥有现实意识地做到最好

It is important to do our best in building human relationship and doing relevant task. However, as we try our best, we need to be aware of our limitation or human imperfection. Failing to term with such awareness, we can easily become disappointed. In other words, we need to do what is meaningful joyfully, instead of miserably.

We can become complacent and fail to do our best when we are ahead of many people. Hence, if there is no one ahead of us, we need to strive towards the goal rather than looking at those people behind us. I have a friend who told me about his son who was studying at a school. He realised that it was not good for his son to continue studying there, since he ranked first in class irrespective of whether he studied or not. And such environment would easily make the child complacent. If we want to maximise our potential, it is not good to remain in the comfort zone.

However, if we over stress ourselves in a competitive society, it is not healthy. Without the awareness of our limitations, we can become depressed when we are not able to accomplish our desired objectives. We need to know that it is normal if we have tried our best, yet we don’t get perfect results. We have learn to accept our limitations though we always do our best. Hence, we can be thankful for doing our best, although we accomplish less than we have expected.

今天我们需要努力建立人际关系和完成任务。然而，当我们尽力而为时，我们必须意识到自己的局限和人性的不完美。如果没有这方面的意识，人会很容易变得失望。换句话，最好我们能夠快乐地做有意义的事情，而不是痛苦地努力工作。

当我们领先于许多人的时候，我们可能会自满而不努力要做到最好。如果我们努力时，即使我们超越他人，我们还是要努力实现目标，而不是自满。一位朋友告诉我他的儿子在学校读书的情况，他意识到儿子继续在那里学习是不好的，因为无论他是否努力学习，他都是班上第一名，这样的环境很容易让孩子自满。如果我们想要發最大的潜力，那么留在个人的舒适区会容易造成负面的影响。

然而在竞争激烈的社会中，如果过度强制自己努力，那就不健康了。如果不了解我们的局限性，当我们无法实现预期目标时，我们就会变得沮丧。我们需要知道，如果我们尽力而为，但没有得到完美的结果，这是正常的。尽管我们尽力而为，但我们要学会接受我们的局限。因此，我们感恩自己可以尽力而为，即使成就低于我们的预期目标。
