人们在遇到别人蛮横无理的时候，往往怒火中烧，可是忽然转眼一想自己也有过错，不知不觉怒气就消失得干干净净。由此看来孟子所强调的自我反省，实在是息事宁人、涵养正气、受益获福、求得身心快乐的最好办法，千万不要当作一般道学家的套话来看待。

The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath, to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.

要么致富，要么死在尝试的路上。
