Describe a Good Advice you recieved.
You should say:
what the advice was
in what situation you received this advice
who gave you the advice
and explain why you thought this advice was good.
what the advice was
The most important advice I received in my life was: Know yourself. Quite a simple one but, it means much more to me than it sounds. 我生命中收到的最重要的建议是：认识你自己。很简单，但它对我的意义远比听起来要复杂。
in what situation you received this advice
During a certain period in my early 20s, I was extremely arrogant. Every time I assumed I would be successful, I would get whatever I wanted. I didnt respect people around me, and even my arrogance came out in every speech I made. 在我20出头的一段时间里，我非常傲慢自大。认为自己每次都能成功，想要什么都能得到。我不尊重周围的人，甚至我的每句话中都充满了傲慢。
who gave you the advice
Mom thought I was full of myself, irritating. She once told me to know yourself! Mom said its inscribed on the front of the temple of Apollo. And entire quote is know thyself, and you shall know all the mysteries of the gods and of the universe. Thats quite a mouthful. Her version is this. Know yourself because what else is there to know? 妈妈认为我太过自满。她曾经告诫我：认清你自己！她说这句话是被刻在了阿波罗神庙上的，完整的句子是认识你自己就能洞悉世间万物的奥秘。太拗口了。她的版本是认清你自己，因为还有其它的东西要认清么?
and explain why you thought this advice was good.
As a child, we dont always realize that parents tell us what to do out of love. I discovered that she was right after awhile. To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a sober realist -- aware of both ones strength and shortage. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much. I think feeling small is the first step to knowing yourself. Being silent is the second. I think we are afraid of silence because we dont want to be small. If we are too silent, we might slow down enough to recognize that something much deeper, much larger, and much more ancient than us is slowly trying to tell us something. And thats scary. But I think its worth a try. Maybe it will tell us who we are. Thats to way so long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself there wont be difficulties you cant overcome, nor obstacles you cant surmount.我们作为孩子，往往不能理解父母对我们的告诫。慢慢的，我发现她是对的。悟透自己，就是正确认识自己，也就是说要做一个冷静的现实主义者，既知道自己的优势，也知道自己的不足。我们可以憧憬人生，但期望值不能过高。我觉得认清自己的第一步是要把自己想象得渺小。接下来第二步则是保持沉默。我想我们害怕沉默，因为我们不想变得渺小。如果我们过于沉默，则会更加认识到周围的事物有多么深奥，多么高大。而这有点吓人，但我认为却值得一试。人一旦有了自知之明，也就没有什么克服不了的困难，也没有什么过不去的难关。
