"我们应该每天夜里反省自己。我今天克服了什么弱点抵制了什么欲望拒绝了什么诱惑获得了什么美德"
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
At the end of every day, it's good to think about what we've done and how we've behaved. This means asking ourselves important questions. For example, did we overcome any bad habits or weaknesses? Did we control our strong feelings and not let them make us do bad things? Did we avoid doing something wrong, even if it was tempting? Did we do something good and show good character? By thinking about these things, we can understand how to become better people. Imagine someone wanting to improve their health; each night they might think about what healthy choices they made and what unhealthy ones they avoided, helping them stay on track for a healthier life.
