例句

1. 正视和解决自身存在的问题需要勇气，但这样做最主动。“祸患常积于忽微，而智勇多困于所溺。”养成勤正衣冠的习惯，能收到防微杜渐之效，能有效避免“积羽沉舟，群轻折轴”。——《习近平谈治国理政》 ，2014：376

1. It takes courage to face problems and try to solve them, and this means taking the initiative. "Disasters often result from neglecting the smallest things; the wise and brave are often trapped by their minor indulgences."Developing a habit of regularly "straightening one’s clothes and hat" will help prevent small wrongdoings from growing into big ones, and can also effectively protect against "falling feathers submerging a boat and an excess load breaking an axle."—Quoted from XI JINPING The Governance of China, 2014:407-414
