1, don't deceive yourself: it is impossible to let others know if you have done something bad. This is an act of deceiving yourself, and the result will only hurt yourself. Therefore, we should face up to our actions and not try to evade our responsibilities or cover up our mistakes by deceiving ourselves and others.

Therefore, people should face up to the reality, do not adopt a closed-door attitude, but actively understand and study, so as to better handle and solve problems.
