CONQUERING ONESELF

I have realized from an entry on this site that we are easy to be hurt sometimes by the words from others. The matter made me recall the days when I first worked in a factory in Japan. One day when I was told to labeled the boxes of the products, I didn't paste the labels in the correct order and I heard the bad things behind my back though I was not able to understand much Japanese at that time but at least I understood the meaning of the word "ahou". Definitely I was badly hurt that day and cried to myself while taking a bath because what the Japanese lady said was extremely an injury to my pride.
However,I conqurred myself at last and tried very hard and became almost the best worker in that factory.
Even by now, I can not forget this thing, however, conversely maybe that was the reason why I have become stronger than before. And I always tell myself to do things as well as possible. Meanwhile, I try to find the weakness in myself and try to be optimstic towards life even occasionally something will happen unexpectedly.
More important, I think, is how to conquer ourselves and get out of the difficult situation.As some famous person says that we can not change anybody else but ourselves because we have to realize that in the hords of people there are no doubt many kinds. To some extent, conquering oneself is victory.

Sorry for my careless to use the past form after the verb "to do".
CONQUERING ONE’S SELF
I have realized from an entry on this site that we are easily to be hurt sometimes by the words from/of others.
One day when I was told to label the box of the products, I didn’t paste the labels in the correct order and I heard (the) bad things mentioned behind my back though I was not able to understand much Japanese at that time, but at least I understood the meaning of the word “ahou.”
Definitely Of course I was badly hurt that day, crying to myself while taking a bath because of what the Japanese lady said. It was extremely an injurious to my pride.
However, I conquered my self/emotions at last and tried very hard, and became almost one of the best workers in that factory.
Even by now, I can not forget this thing/event, however, conversely maybe it was the reason why I have become stronger than before.
And I always tell myself to do things as well/best as possible.
Meanwhile, I try to find the weaknesses in myself and try to be optimistic towards life, even occasionally somethings will happen unexpectedly.
More importantly, I think, is how to conquer our selves and get out of the/a difficult situation.
As some famous people say: that we can not change anybody else but ourselves because we have to realize that in these hoards/masses of people there are without doubt many kinds.
To some extent, conquering one’s self is victory.
I am easily discouraged as well since I pay too much attention to detail (people’s reactions, the way I might look, how I express what I want to say, etc).
Luckily there’s the internet which has helped me realize everyone is in fact human and in situations where I might normally feel embarrassed I can now laugh off and mention my account to friends acquaintances alike :)
Buddha said, "It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles" (yourself is a reflexive pronoun) :)
It is correct use reflexive pronouns like this:
I conquer myself
You conquer yourself
A person conquers oneself
So which is the best of the three for the title?
Conquering oneself , Conquering one's self,or Conquering myself?
However, I just want to express "Conquering ourselves is victory" not only means "myself",and in Chinese we say “战胜自我就是胜利”。
"myself" refers only to me; "ourselves" refers only to us...
Thank you very much for your corrections and comments.
I have never thought that males are also so careful to communicate with others. I always think that females often think too much and are tend to be pessimistic easily.
Very good to hear that you can laugh off towards embarrassment.
like the link rsailさん pasted to me <Buddha said, "It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles" >
Thank you a lot again for your suggestions about the title.
“战胜自己就是胜利”zhan4sheng4zi4ji3jiu4shi4sheng4li4.
yeah, I see, in this case, no need to emphasize “我自己""你自
己"or "我们自己".
自己, 我自己, 你自己 and 我们自己 :)
