I thought the ancients said "think twice before you act"
Literally, it is "three", but it doesn't just mean that you must think three times. This "three" is to think more and be good at thinking. If we want to say "think twice", we should "think" three aspects, which is not unreasonable, but also reasonable. I understand this "think twice", at least think about the following three aspects:
In addition, no matter what you do, you should analyze and compare the advantages and disadvantages and weigh the advantages and disadvantages. It depends on whether doing something is beneficial or harmful. Are there many advantages or disadvantages? Do anything with great benefits, many benefits and few disadvantages; On the contrary, anything that is harmful, harmful, and beneficial will not be done. In particular, things that do great harm to others and everyone, things that have few benefits, many disadvantages and few benefits, must be resolutely done, and must be done seriously, eliminating disadvantages as much as possible, turning disadvantages into benefits, turning disadvantages into benefits, and turning bad things into good things. At the same time, we should also distinguish between immediate advantages and long-term disadvantages, and immediate disadvantages and long-term advantages. It is necessary to make comprehensive considerations and do things that are beneficial to the whole, and not to do things that are harmful and long-term unhelpful.
In short, "think twice before you act" is by no means empty talk, it has practical content. It's easy to say "think twice before you act", but it's still very difficult to really do it, especially if it can be done well. But because of the difficulty, ancient talents warned us that we must "think twice before you act." This is the old adage and the truth.
