I think this tattered broom is very precious(敝帚千金)

During the Three Kingdoms era in China, the name of the founding king of the Cao Wei Kingdom was (Cao Pi).

He is also a famous poet and literati.

He has written an article, which is recognized as the first literary review in China.

There is a paragraph in this article as follows.

According to my observation, all literati have always despised each other.

This is a phenomenon that has existed since ancient times.

How can we avoid ourselves from falling into this blind spot?

I think the first thing to do is to realize that there are so many genres of articles, and it is impossible for anyone to be good at any genre.

Most literati have some habits.

They value the works of ancient people and despise the works of their contemporaries.

They pay more attention to some famous works and despise some works with practical connotation.

Most literati always only see their own advantages, so they think they write the best articles.

Most literati always fail to see their own disadvantages. So they can't see the part of other people's writing that is better than their own.

There is a common saying. Although the broom in my house is very poor, in my mind the value of this broom is very noble.

This saying aptly describes each of us will have blind spots, so we can't evaluate ourselves objectively.

This idiom means that although a thing is not valuable, I think it is precious because it belongs to me.

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

Do you have the experience of falling into this kind of blind spot? How do you think you can avoid falling into this kind of blind spot?

I hope this story will give you some new gains

敝帚千金(I think this tattered broom is very precious)

中國的三國時代，曹魏王國的開國國王名字叫做(曹丕)。

他也是一個著名的詩人與文人。

他寫過一篇文章，這篇文章被公認是中國第一篇文學評論。

這篇文章中有一段如下。

根據我的觀察，所有的文人向來都是相互輕視。

這是從古到今都有的一種現象啊。

我們要如何避免自已陷入這一種盲點呢。

我認為首要之務就是要體認到文章的體裁有非常多種類，不可能有人任何體裁都擅長。

大部分文人會有一些習慣。

他們比較重視古代人的作品而輕視同時代人的作品。

他們比較重視一些有名氣的作品而輕視一些具有實際內涵的作品。

大部分的文人總是只看見自已的優勢，所以他們認為自己寫的文章最好。

大部分的文人總是看不見自已劣勢。所以他們看不見別人的文比自已好的那一部分部分。

有一句常見的俗話。我家中的那把掃帚雖然很差，但在我的心目中這把掃帚的價值卻是非常的高貴。

這句俗話很貼切的形容了我們每個人都會有盲點，所以我們都無法客觀的去評價自已啊。

這句成語的意思指一件東西雖不值錢，我卻因為這件東西屬於自已所以覺得珍貴。

親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

你也有陷入這種盲點的經驗嗎?你認為該如何避免自已陷入這種盲點呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫
