"Book of Rites" says: "If jade is not polished, it cannot be used as a tool."

Jade must be carefully polished and carved before it can become a useful tool.

The same goes for people. Only by constantly polishing oneself over the years can one achieve maturity and success.

Human life is like a pencil.

At the beginning, it is always sharp and sharp.

Just like when we were young, we were dressed in bright clothes and angry with our horses, and we were so high-spirited that we wished we could see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

When dealing with people, he is also reckless and has no idea of ??restraint.

After stumbling along the way, the edges and corners were gradually smoothed by the years, becoming more and more harmonious.

Learning to restrain yourself is not weakness, but growth.

When Zeng Guofan first entered the officialdom, he was idealistic and cynical. He made enemies and hit obstacles everywhere in the officialdom.

Even though he won the battle, the emperor did not trust him and his colleagues rejected him.

After receiving his father's obituary, he wrote to Ding You, but Emperor Xianfeng did not retain him at all. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and took away his military power, giving Zeng Guofan a blow.

As a result, Zeng Guofan, after his recovery, began to become tactful and sophisticated, and interacted with senior officials and generals in order to govern the country and bring peace to the world.

Even sometimes he uses power and deception, but he has a clear conscience and is never ambiguous about right and wrong.

Because of this, Zeng Guofan stood out and became the pillar of the imperial court.

After all, it is difficult to get far if you do not understand the ways of the world.

We have to sharpen our edges, adapt, and change.

However, there are always some things that cannot be compromised, and there are always some principles that need to be adhered to.

A person who knows the world but is not sophisticated, who has experienced a smooth and innocent life is the best appearance of a person.

I heard a saying: "The times abandon you without even saying goodbye."

The times are changing rapidly, cognition is changing, and life is full of uncertainties.

Only those who continue to polish themselves and improve themselves will not have to worry about being eliminated by the times.

Polishing your strength does not happen overnight. You need to calm down and work hard in your own field.

The book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" became a hit, making the author Mingyue famous at that time.

Readers are amazed by his profound historical knowledge and his ability to cite scriptures at his fingertips.

However, few people know that it took him more than ten years of accumulation to achieve a smooth and smooth development.

Before entering middle school, he read "A Five Thousand Years" carefully 12 times.

When I grew up, I loved reading history, such as "Twenty-Four Histories" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

Until I developed a strong interest in the history of the Ming Dynasty, I began to study relevant historical materials such as "Ming Tongjian" and "Ming Shilu".

He read more than 60 million words of historical materials, spent 12 years collecting information, and 8 years writing the book.

Only after years of polishing can one person accomplish the miracle of narrating the history of the Ming Dynasty in vernacular.

As the saying goes: “Don’t chase a horse, use the time you spend chasing the horse to plant grass.

"

Start changing from now on, start accumulating from now on, precipitate yourself, polish your strength, success is actually not difficult.

Bi Shumin said: "The maturity of any soul will depend on it. Must go through the baptism of loneliness and loneliness. ”

Human beings’ sorrows and joys are not the same, and there are not so many people who feel the same way in the world.

Everyone has to spend the winter alone in their own lives, spending an unknown period.

A truly smart person will not complain or complain, but choose to polish his mind and become truly strong.

The famous writer Yang Jiang, in In a special historical period, she was bullied.

She always faced the ups and downs of life, shining brightly in the darkness.

She was cut off. She used her daughter's old hair to make a wig and lived as usual.

She was not ashamed of being sent to clean the dirty toilet. Instead, she kept the toilet spotless and continued to work in her spare time. Reading on the toilet, enjoying herself.

It was in such a difficult environment that she began to translate "Don Quixote" and left a translation that became increasingly powerful. The mind has made Mr. Yang Jiang calm and moved, healed himself, and achieved himself.

There is a saying in "Cai Gen Tan": "Everyone takes pleasure in good times, but a gentleman takes pleasure in adversity." . ”

Only when the mind has been polished by setbacks can it become strong and face difficulties without fear of hardship.

And those who try to defeat us will eventually make us better

Ru Fengjun said:

The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

Polishing yourself is an attitude towards life. It is a state of life.

When life is too difficult, polish the edges, be sophisticated and live a transparent life;

When success is too far away, polish your strength, accumulate over time, and live a life of transparency. Wonderful;

If life is too hard, sharpen your mind, eliminate worries, and live calmly.
