Review for This Is Water

In this speech article, Wallace used two young fish's talk with an old fish in the water to introduce his topic: we always think things in our own way and make ourselves as the center of the world.
Even though we sometimes do not want to admit this fact, we really are. Just as the example Wallace used in his speech, the old fish cannot answer the question"what is water" in the aspect of the young fish. The old fish could only look at the surroundings and think about the world in his own way. 
Like the traffic jam we usually meet in our daily lives, if we have something rush and need to do it as soon as possible, we would get mad when we have traffic jam, however, because other people don't know  our situation, so as a result, they will think us wired and think us as the "easy mad" persons. Besides, because we always think ourselves as the center of the world, when we are stuck in the traffic jam, we always think that other people mass our lives and make our  lives worse. We just blame others. 
I do this things all the time, and always think that my life is the center of the world, and people should concern about my life first. If I have an important midterm this week and other people ask me to do them a favor, I will become unhappy and tell them I have an important test this week and I don't have time to do that. But later I realize that I am too mean and I could help them when I finish my test and it is not very hard to do it at the same time, I just think my problem is more important to me.
