Meng Ziyun: Be brave after knowing shame. It refers to a mental state of being indomitable and facing difficulties after suffering and being hit. Both the story of King Yue and Pu Songling's self-encouragement are vivid interpretations of "being brave after knowing shame".
First of all, we should understand the double meaning of shame, which is not only a stumbling block on our growth road, but also the best exercise for us; This is not only a difficult challenge, but also a good opportunity for us to see. Just like Gou Jian, the King of Yue, only when you are ashamed and brave can you have the determination and courage to bear the burden of humiliation. Otherwise, you will still fail to recognize your own shortcomings as before, and you will only fail more and more.
At the critical moment, choice is very important. At that moment of humiliation, many people will feel that death is simple, death is a relief, and they will not be afraid of death. On the contrary, choosing to live makes people feel very painful, and the process of living is a kind of suffering. After the defeat, Gou Jian thought about suicide, but under the persuasion of Wen Zi and Fan Li, he finally chose to live with humiliation, because there is hope in life.
Secondly, the process of knowing shame is the process of self-reflection and promotion. Many times we think we know ourselves very well, so we are too busy to hear our inner voice, and we will ignore other people's good words, thus missing many opportunities. In shame, we can seriously reflect on our own shortcomings, learn from these mistakes and learn from them. Only in this way can we polish our eyes, discover many benefits of our friends and listen to their good advice. Gou Jian once regretted not listening to Fan Li's advice. Fortunately, he woke up in time, persuaded him in time, and proved his determination in time with actions.
Thirdly, we should understand the connotation of "courage", which is not only a kind of courage to accept shame and surpass ourselves, but also a lofty goal and firm belief. It takes courage to accept your mistakes and imperfections; It takes courage to correct mistakes and make continuous progress; Clear direction, firm goals, and persistent efforts, success will never be far away.
Gou Jiangui is the king, but he can still bear the humiliation and condescend to be a slave in the enemy country, just to make a comeback and create more glory one day. After returning home, it was also plain clothes who set an example, became a vegetarian, and became a role model for the people, winning many hearts. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, accumulate countless wealth and work hard. He is a practitioner of "knowing shame and then being brave".
However, I don't agree with what Gou Jian did after his success. "Being able to share the pain but not willing to * * *" drove Wen Zi to commit suicide, which was really disgusting. Comparatively speaking, Fan Li's life is more natural and unrestrained and transparent, advancing and retreating freely, and the realm is much higher.
In short, no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, you should be an ideal person, feel the true loneliness and distant realm of "the length of the universe" in failure, see some people clearly, look down on some things, move forward bravely, and make live high wonderful.
