1, be careful to make friends and study hard; Go to glitz.
Left in Liu Zhuang's former residence in Xiangyin, Hunan Province, on both sides of a conspicuous gatehouse, this pair of couplets was inscribed. The short couplet of 12 reflects Zuo's family education thought of being cautious, diligent, content with being cold and preaching flashy.
This is a highly generalized understanding of life, and it is also Zuo's deep expectation and earnest warning to future generations and even ethnic groups.
2. Make a wish, get married and enjoy happiness. If you choose to stand tall, sit flat and walk wide.
This is a couplet written by Zuo in Meiyuan, Wuxi, Jiangsu. It is said that Li Ka-shing also hung this couplet in his office in Hongkong.
This is also his life principle and attitude: to be a man, aim high, take a carefree attitude towards fate, and don't expect too much from material life. Living a simple life is also a kind of happiness. When looking at the problem, the angle should be high; The mentality of being a man should be peaceful and not extreme; Be tolerant, not too harsh.
3. Don't be bullied when you are down and out; When you succeed in your career, you won't be envied.
When frustrated, don't flatter yourself, don't give up on yourself, and live with dignity. After being in a high position, be sincere and polite to the corporal and avoid unnecessary jealousy. This is similar to what Mencius said: "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent"!
4. Self-interest is too thrifty, and people are too generous.
Thrift is the way to cultivate one's self-cultivation and keep a house. Zuo believes that "only by advocating frugality can we benefit widely", not only living frugally, but also strictly demanding that children should be frugal in life and not extravagant. Be generous to others, not too stingy.
5. It is mediocrity who can endure the wind and rain and sharpen the iron man without being envied.
Suffering and frustration are a fortune in life and a compulsory course in life. Only through these hardships can we achieve real maturity. Stand your ground and have a strong heart.
Excellent talents are not only enviable, but also often lead to jealousy. Don't be disturbed by other people's gossip. Don't forget your innovative spirit. Only by perseverance can you succeed.
6. If you don't read, you will get a good friend; Reading what you have read is like meeting an old friend.
Reading unfamiliar books is like making good friends; Rereading a book you have read is like meeting an old friend and catching up and chatting. Reading is as comfortable as communicating with friends.
