How sound are the standards behind your value judgments?

I have a day off tomorrow. During my rest day, I hope I can have a good rest and relax completely. I will not open the work group, and I will not serve the customer group information. There is really too much content that I need to learn by myself, and I also need to stop completely on the day tomorrow and not think about it with too many worries. After all this is done, it is normal. If some abnormal things happen while walking on such a normal road, then I will still accept them seriously. Because you need to have your own value standards, and some things require some bottom-line thinking.
I didn’t expect that I would still be so hesitant in my life. In fact, in the final analysis, it was because I had not established a more reasonable and scientific value system in the past. In this situation: it is hard to endure hardships, and there are more hardships. This sentence is not a slogan, but a solid truth. If you have no moral bottom line or your own standards, you will be measured by others using other people’s rulers. Think about it, this person is different. How can you fit someone else’s ruler? When you cater to others, don’t you also lose yourself? At this moment, I still need to ask myself one more sentence, what is more important?
I actually thought about it for a long time, and the last thing I thought about was this: it is more important to take every step in a down-to-earth manner. I often feel pain or anxiety because I cannot meet the leader’s requirements, but now I calm down and think about it, in fact, I often suffer from this situation mainly because I do not have a complete and scientific standard for judging values. If such a standard is not established for a day, I will have unnecessary worries and mental exhaustion for a day.
The current version of myself is one that doesn’t get enough sleep or rest. My current situation looks really bad to outsiders, and this is also true. Because I can actually feel it. But today I still met my friends and chatted with my family. I learned a lot of things I wanted to learn from them, and I also found some other perspectives for self-reflection from them. For example, it is not easy for everyone to work hard in society. They all need time to slowly adapt. This process requires necessary patience, because everyone will go through this stage. But at the same time, each of us still needs to take care of our own body and not overdraw it. Your body is the most precious, and you should never overdraw your body in exchange for short-term gains. Because no matter how you look at it, going against common sense that everyone knows is absolutely stupid. If you go all out on every important thing without moving yourself, the result will often be in line with God’s will.
Some people may be smart, but they may not be wise. This principle is something I learned while studying the Bible. Some people think they are very smart, so they spend all their energy on work. Although I finally made money, I ended up losing everything because my body collapsed. What’s the point in the end? There are too many such examples. Similarly, I also picked up this truth in Sun Tzu’s Art of War: truly smart people are never those who solve troubles. Rather, when trouble may arise, we should kill the person at the root in advance. Such people are truly smart.
If I had to choose, I would decisively give up my temporary cleverness and resolutely choose to be a person of great wisdom.
