294．觀點(diǎn)不能有所偏頗
　　觀點(diǎn)不能有所偏頗。每個(gè)人都會(huì)依據(jù)自己的利益而各執(zhí)己見，并想象自己肯定理由充足。因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)人的判斷都讓步于自身的意愿。可能會(huì)發(fā)生這種情況：兩人針鋒相對(duì)，各執(zhí)己見，都認(rèn)為自己占理。但道理自有其原則，從無兩張面孔。在這種困境下，謹(jǐn)慎之人會(huì)極其小心，審察對(duì)方的觀點(diǎn)，也懷疑自己的觀點(diǎn)。在此情況下，應(yīng)換位思考，研究對(duì)方的理由，這樣，你就不會(huì)用如此糊涂的方式來譴責(zé)對(duì)方，或證明自己。


294．Be moderate in your views
　Be moderate in your views. Everyone holds views according to his interest, and imagines he has abundant grounds for them. For with most men judgment has to give way to inclination. It may occur that two may meet with exactly opposite views and yet each thinks to have reason on his side, yet reason is always true to itself and never has two faces. In such a difficulty a prudent man will go to work with care, for his judgment of his opponent's view may cast doubt on his own. Place yourself in such a case in the other man's place and then investigate the reasons for his opinion. You will not then condemn him or justify yourself in such a confusing way.
