First, there are good thoughts, good deeds, and peace and tranquility.
As the saying goes, mortals always seek happiness, and where there is happiness, there are auspicious things. Gacy moves good thoughts and anger moves evil thoughts. Therefore, the old saying goes: "When you think about goodness in life, although goodness is not done, happiness will follow;" When life is full of evil thoughts, evil will follow. "
In life, a person's heart should be full of joy and peace. If you are beautiful, you will naturally have good thoughts; if you are angry, you will naturally have evil thoughts. Therefore, the ancients said that a person's good thoughts will be blessed. Evil thoughts together, there is bad luck.
Sentiment: Ceng Zi has a saying: "People are good, although the blessing has not arrived, the disaster is far away. People are not good at being good. Although the disaster has not come, it is far away. "If people are willing to do good, although they may not be blessed, disaster will leave you; If people don't want to do good, it may not be a disaster, but the good news will definitely leave you. One should be willing to do good all his life.
Second, prudence and independence are the highest realm of life.
Xun said: "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" both take caution and independence as their training, and are the first important festivals to be consecrated. Later generations widely said, "Don't cheat the darkroom." The so-called darkroom has two meanings: one is when you live alone, and the other is in a place where your heart is hidden. If the husband lives alone, people will not see him; If the mind is imperceptible, people will be less aware. But the gentleman said that at this time, the fingers must be strict, trembling, earnest, unmoved, loyal and sincere, worthy of the rainy night, but for the right man and husband!
Confucian classics often mention that being cautious and independent is the primary accomplishment of becoming a saint. Later generations interpreted it as not deceiving the darkroom, hiding in it where others can't see it, and paying attention to your words and deeds. Knowing how to always be in awe, doing something and not doing something, can make people respect.
Feeling: "Zeng Guofan's admonition": "Be cautious and safe. Self-study is not difficult to cultivate the mind; It is also cautious to raise your heart. " Caution and independence lead to inner peace. No matter what the circumstances, a person can abide by the inner norms, not indulge, not overstep the rules, and not be affected by selfish distractions. This is an ability, but also a realm.
Third, smart people see the world through other people's eyes.
Xun said: I never dare to belittle myself and say that others are ignorant. Everyone has his own opinion. I often talk to ministers, but I know and see something, and I just listen and make sense. I am the Kingdom of Ghana.
I never despise people and say they are ignorant. Everyone has his own experience. I often tell ministers that as long as you know, you might as well tell me. As long as it is reasonable, I will definitely reward and adopt it.
Feeling: The ancients said, "Stones from other mountains can attack jade." Confucius also said: "A threesome must have a teacher, choose the good one and follow it, and change the bad one." Therefore, learning to listen to other people's opinions is a manifestation of wisdom. Only by seeing the world from other people's eyes and examining yourself can we be comprehensive, high and comprehensive.
Fourth, there is nothing, and there is nothing.
As the saying goes, when people have nothing to do, they often nip in the bud, so things will naturally not happen. If something happens, but nothing happens, it will disappear naturally. The ancients said: "The heart wants to be small but the courage wants to be big." You should be in such a place when you are in trouble.
Be vigilant when you have nothing to do, and nip in the bud. Be calm when you encounter something, don't be too nervous, just handle everything normally. Bold and cautious, cautious in heart, but bold and sharp in style. This is the way of doing things.
Feeling: "Small window, quiet story, Ji Qiaozhang": "When nothing happens, if something happens, you can avoid unexpected changes; Calm when nothing happens, you can contain the crisis in the game. " When there is nothing wrong, you should plan ahead. When there is a crisis, it is enough to keep calm, and we can deal with it in time.
5. Self-discipline and quality of life.
As the saying goes, frugal diet and prudent life are the best ways to treat diseases.
Don't be too greedy, pay attention to your daily life and don't sleep. This is the secret of keeping healthy.
Feeling: The Tao Te Ching says, "Those who get it are strong, and those who get it are strong." He who overcomes others can only say that he has strength, and he who can overcome his own shortcomings is truly powerful. Bernard Shaw also said: "Self-control is the instinct of the strongest." Self-discipline is a powerful ability, which will enrich our lives and make us better.
Sixth, we can correct our mistakes, and it's not a big deal.
Xun said: Can mortals make mistakes? But people have done it, and they are not very good at it. I didn't. Those who occasionally forget and blame others in gossip will let go and say, "This is my fault." Only in this way can people be moved and uneasy. Most people who can start their own businesses are adults.
In this world, who can not make mistakes? But most people are unwilling to admit that they are wrong, so I don't want to. I always take the initiative to admit my mistakes. People are always moved by my mistakes. In fact, most people who can take the initiative to admit their mistakes are people of noble character.
Perception: In the Biography of Zhong Ni Disciples in Historical Records, there is a record of Confucius' evaluation of Yan Hui: "Those who have Yan Hui are eager to learn, not angry, not falling down." It means that Yan Hui likes studying best. He will not transfer his anger to others, nor will he make the same mistakes over and over again. Everyone makes mistakes, so don't criticize others or question yourself. Only by admitting mistakes and correcting them can we continue to grow.
Seven, cautious, life can be stable.
As the saying goes, mortals, big or small, have to assess the situation and assess the situation in order to have concerns.
Generally speaking, one must be very cautious, carefully observe and study anything that is about to happen, no matter how big or small, so as not to leave behind future troubles.
Feeling: Tao Te Ching: "The picture is more difficult than its details. Difficult things in the world must be easy to do, and great things in the world must be done in detail. " To solve difficult problems, we should plan when it is easy to solve them, and to do big things, we should start small. All the difficulties in the world developed from easy times, and all the major events in the world were formed step by step from small places. This is the truth that warns us to be cautious about things, think carefully and be cautious.
Eight, suffering is a blessing, don't covet comfort.
As the saying goes, everyone likes to relax and hates work, but my heart says that people always work hard and know how to relax. If you are comfortable, you don't just know how to escape, but you can't afford to be tired. Therefore, "Yi" has a cloud: "The sky is healthy, and the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." From its point of view, saints take labor as a blessing and escape as a curse.
People in the world like comfort and hate work, but I think people will know what comfort is only after working for a long time. If you are always comfortable, you don't know what comfort is, and you can't suffer. Therefore, the Book of Changes says: "A celestial body is strong, and a gentleman must constantly strive for self-improvement." In this way, saints regard hard work as a blessing and ease as a curse.
Feeling: Mencius said, "Born in sorrow, died in happiness." Worry makes people live, but ease and enjoyment are enough to make people die. Adversity will stimulate people's potential, make people cautious, step by step, and full of enterprising spirit. Therefore, suffering is a blessing. "Bitterness" means that the mind has not been tempered and the cultivation has not been tempered. And suffering is the best way to temper and cultivate.
