The Chinese Proverbs
"The wise man does not set his mind either at anything or against anything; what is right he will follow." Confucius
"The wise man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress." Confucius
Wisdom means having an empty mind with no pre-conceived beliefs. So, if you find yourself having any pre-conceived idea, you must then apply your reverse thinking, which is thinking backward to find out how and where you have your present way of thinking that might have given you prejudice or distorted truth.
With an open mind, you make your decisions based on your rational thinking that gives you wisdom. True human wisdom means you accept and embrace the good and the bad, while learning valuable lessons from your mistakes. That is how a wise man lives his life without stress and distress.
