During our daily communication with people, can we precisely and comprehensively understand the other person’s words, as well as the thoughts and feelings behind their words, so that we can have good communication and interaction? It is crucial, but often difficult.

每天都能说出积极话语的人，他们的每一天都过得非常顺利，即使遇到了困难，也能够度过难关。如果你看不清自己，那么，就试着看一下周边的人与事，你一定会发现人们都过着他们嘴上所说的人生！

Those who speak positively every day have a very smooth life. Even when they encounter difficulties, they are able to get through them. If you can't see yourself clearly, then try looking around you. You will see that the people around you are living the life they talk about.

孔子与弟子被困于陈、蔡期间，曾绝粮七天，子贡费尽周折才买回一石米。颜回做饭时，有灰尘掉进了饭里，因为觉得丢掉可惜，所以颜回就吃了带灰尘的米饭。这被子贡远远看见，误以为颜回偷吃米饭，所以很生气。

When Confucius and his disciples were trapped around the realm of Chen and Cai, they ran out of food after seven days. His disciple Zi Gong managed to buy some rice after going through much trouble. When another disciple, Yan Hui, was cooking, some dust fell onto the rice. He felt it was wasteful to throw the rice away, so Yan Hui ate the rice contaminated with the dust. Zi Gong saw this from afar and thought Yan Hui was stealing the rice. He was very angry.
