Know Thyself is direct and simple. You need to know yourself, what your strengths are and what your weakness are and how to over come your weakness etc etc….. it is basically aimed at making you a better person and achieving success in life based on what knowing and doing what you are good at in life…

Another thing for while Socrates is famous for saying is, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” When he mentions lines like this in the Apology, it is in connection with the idea of virtue. Socrates does not think that living virtuously is something that can be done by accident… it is a matter of challenging yourself about your actions. Was I right to do this? Was that fair? A person who never worries about committing evil, in Socrates’ view, is one who is almost certain to do so.
