肯定自我而對自己的優缺點不執著，不因此驕傲、懊 悔，而持續不斷地精進努力，便是一種無我的態度。 To affirm yourself and not attach to strengths or weaknesses—to not become arrogant or regretful—and still be diligent in all endeavors is an attitude of selflessness. - Master Sheng Yen

 

清楚知道自己的優缺點，瞭解生存與生命的意義，是 肯定自我的開始。 To clearly know your strengths and weaknesses, observe the meaning of life and existence. This is the beginning of self affirmation. - Master Sheng Yen

 

人往往會隱藏自己的缺點，不大願意去面對或承認； 若能坦然面對自己的缺點，缺點就會愈來愈少，問題 也會愈來愈小。 People usually hide their shortcomings and avoid confronting them. Face them with openness, and then these shortcomings and other problems will actually decrease. - Master Sheng Yen

 

通常人都喜歡彰顯自己的優點，優點要發揮、要成長 ，不必誇張。 Ordinarily people like to boast about their strengths. Our strengths should be developed, but there is no need to exaggerate them. - Master Sheng Yen

 

不跟自己比，不跟他人比，只知努力於現在，隨時準 備著未來。 Do not compare yourself against some standard; do not compare yourself with others. Just be diligent in the present and be prepared at any time for the future. - Master Sheng Yen
