It just means "patience and perseverance" means that if you encounter something difficult to handle, please work hard on the word "patience".

Detailed introduction:

Zeng Guofan was a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty and the Zhongxing Dynasty. He has been dead for nearly 150 years, but his thoughts and theories have been talked about and learned by later generations. . Because Zeng Guofan not only left a lot of words, but also actually accomplished things. From him, we can learn how to strengthen our hearts and the great wisdom of doing things.

Detailed introduction:

Zeng Guofan wrote in a letter to his friend Chen Songsheng: "Health preservation and mechanics are both made from perseverance, so the ancients regarded perseverance as the basis for sainthood." .

The translated meaning is: self-cultivation and scholarship are both achieved through perseverance, so the ancients regarded perseverance as the basis for becoming a sage. It can be seen that Zeng Guofan believes that the key to being a human being is to achieve the word "persistence".

Only by being tenacious and persevering can you get things done. Just as he warned his family in his home letter: "With perseverance, nothing can be accomplished."

Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb, and those who can persevere do not seek rapid progress, but seek to make steady progress over time, just like water drops passing through a stone, sooner or later, quantitative changes can be transformed into qualitative changes. Where there is a will, things can be done. .

In addition to admonishing his friends to be perseverant, Zeng Guofan also said to his son, "Persistence is the first virtue in life." Persistence means perseverance. In his early years, Zeng Guofan often meditated hard and explored hard on calligraphy, but there was no success. Later, I simply stopped thinking about it and just copied the copybooks every morning. I persisted for a few years and suddenly found that I was making great progress with each passing day.

So he understood a truth: people are old and young, and things are difficult and easy. As long as they can persevere in action, they will naturally be like planting trees and raising livestock. They can be seen every day. I keep growing up, but I don’t seem to notice it.

As Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching: "Every big thing in the world must be done in detail, and a difficult thing in the world must be done in easy ways." If you insist on doing small and easy things well, big and difficult things will come naturally.

As a human being, the most taboo thing is "three days of fishing and two days of drying the net". The key is to be able to persevere. Even if you have a weak foundation and a stupid person, as long as you don't give up or give up, have strong perseverance, stupid birds fly first, and diligence can make up for your shortcomings, you will eventually achieve something.
