“In great things, men show themselves as is convenient; in small things, they show themselves as they are.” – Sébastien-Roch Chamfort
If you want to know yourself pay attention to what you do when you think no one is watching, to the way you resolve the details of your daily life involving other people and especially how you react when something goes wrong.
In these three moments of your life you show your true colours underneath the makeup of the well-educated and politically correct.
You can do the same exercise observing another people in these same circumstances: you will know them better than themselves.
