People will encounter problems in two directions if they lack a clear understanding of their abilities, position, and boundaries.

The first problem is overestimating oneself and acting forcefully despite insufficient ability.

These individuals lack a solid foundation but are eager to prove they are impressive; they have limited experience but like to discuss grand goals and conclusions; they cannot meet real-world conditions but demand others treat them to high standards; they lack judgment but enjoy judging others from a position of fairness and morality.

The core issue with this behavior is:
They do not accurately assess their true abilities but constantly express opinions and take stances beyond their capacity.

The second problem is acting prematurely without sufficient preparation.

These people make decisions before understanding the situation; they express opinions before completing risk assessments; they rush to act before conditions are ripe; they are still unstable themselves but want to influence and control others.

The core issue here is that their speed of action exceeds their level of understanding and preparation.

These two types of people may seem different, but fundamentally they both lack self-discipline and self-judgment abilities, and do not know:

• What stage they are currently at
• What they can do now
• What they should say now
• What needs to wait and what needs patience

The fool has no foundation yet seeks heights; the clumsy lacks preparation and forgets himself.
Overestimating oneself leads to difficulty in the long run; leaving a lasting joke is better than a lifetime of shame.
