It is not easy for ordinary people to maintain a normal life if they suffer from various diseases like Zeng Guofan. However, with these diseases, Zeng Guofan tempered his soul, made progress all his life, and completed three immortal undertakings of "establishing virtue", "making meritorious deeds" and "making statements".
Why can an ordinary person become a generation of saints and an inspirational model? Zeng Guofan "spontaneously ignited" all his life. He chose a noble "living method", worked hard every day, constantly tempered his will, forged his soul, tried to get rid of mediocrity and inertia, and made his life perfect and his soul noble.
The truth will never change, and the spirit of great men will never change.
Mr. kazuo inamori is a great figure and operator in this world, who has made three fortune 500 enterprises. Educator, founded "Heshengshu", and nearly 10000 business operators around the world followed him to learn business philosophy and amoeba management; Scientists invented many ceramic technologies, which opened a "Neolithic" era.
Kazuo inamori honed himself and forged his soul all his life, from "ordinary" to "extraordinary". He pursues the nobleness of personality and the perfection of soul in spiritual will. "When he died, his soul was a little purer than when he was born." ; In his work, he demands himself with sincere "craftsman spirit", pursuing excellent creative spirit, quality spirit of Excellence and customer-oriented service spirit.
Kazuo inamori's philosophy of life can be summarized as these three questions.
First, why are people alive?
Why do people live? This is a common problem. Many people are confused and never think: it is good to be alive. And some people, with a lifetime of action to answer.
"Why are people alive? What is the meaning of life? Where is the purpose of life? "
Why live is to make life valuable. Make a career, hone yourself, become a meaningful person to society, and make your mind pure and your character noble. This is the way of life.
Kazuo inamori always answers questions like this: "Improve the mind and temper the soul". In kazuo inamori's Living Law, kazuo inamori expressed his answer to this important question of life.
"In death, the soul is a little purer than in life."
When the purpose of living is to temper the soul, all the problems and even hardships a person encounters in this world will become the help of life, not the obstacle.
Second, what is right as a person?
When many people are teenagers, they are often confused and don't know why they are alive. Even in pain, I often doubt my life and want to end it easily. That's because he doesn't understand that life is hard to come by. Life is the most precious to people, and life is only once for people.
When Helen Keller was only 19 months old, a high fever caused by scarlet fever made her deaf, blind and dumb. However, with the love of parents and the help of teachers, Helen proved the great value of life with her diligence. With her thirst for sponge water, she assiduously absorbed "nutrients" from books, overcame her disability with diligence and lifelong efforts, and became an excellent inspirational model.
She grabbed the fate by the throat, and the fourteen books published in her life still sell well and still inspire people to move forward. Her book "If Give Me Three Days of Light" makes people cry when they read it. Cherish, live in the present and sharpen your life. The powerful energy of self-improvement in her life inspires many teenagers, inspires them to become talents, and inspires many adults to struggle and create a better life.
Helen's life is a high embodiment of the value of life. Whether she is born or dead, her soul is immortal, illuminating people to move on like a lighthouse.
How to choose in life? Choice needs judgment? How to judge?
Zeng Guofan failed in six subjects and still refused to give up. He chose to persist and challenge the difficulties again. Suffered humiliation and hardships in officialdom. In several confrontations with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he was so defeated that he once wanted to throw himself into the lake. He is strong enough inside to know how to introspect. He re-studies the new strategy, blindly loses, and blindly fights the "death" war, which is sure to be defeated. He wants to try his new plan.
The Taiping Army is brave and good at fighting, dare to fight hand-to-hand, and are not afraid of life and death, but all his troops are afraid of death. Zeng Guofan summed up a set of tactics, building fortifications, bunkers and trenches, pressing the Taiping Army step by step and eventually encroaching on its territory. Taking defense as the attack, relying on fortifications to protect and weaken the Taiping Army and consume troops. Cut off the grain route and kill each other. The initial test worked and morale increased greatly. In the end, Tianjing was completely surrounded, tunnels were dug to blow up the walls of Tianjing, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom perished.
At the critical moment, turning the tide and reversing the situation, this victory is a landmark victory in his life, which laid the foundation for his life achievements and continued to write his magnificent and brilliant life.
If he gave up and failed, there would never be a great man in history, Zeng Guofan, and there would never be a glorious history of the whole family.
Life consists of a series of judgments and choices, and what kind of choice will lead to what kind of life. Get the right life with the right choice.
Third, how can people live better?
Living is to pursue beauty. Making yourself better and better is the ultimate goal of life.
What can I do to make my life better and happier? Kazuo inamori gave his life equation, that is, the famous "life success equation". There are ways and means to succeed in life.
Being alive reflects the value and significance of life in work. Kazuo inamori said that the value of work is essentially the value of life. It can not only temper people's minds and improve people's quality, but more importantly, it can make people break through the shackles of existing thinking in sweating, so as to constantly improve and get rid of their inner delusions, thus achieving the best state of "burning themselves". Life is not for pleasure, not for fame, but for purity and perfection.
Try to live in the present, and the principle he pursues is to be a correct person in the world and try his best to live sincerely and seriously. Kazuo inamori believes that everyone can be holy, and the purpose of life is to pursue a beautiful mind. Throughout his life, he adhered to his beliefs and practiced the right path.
Kazuo inamori said: Respect heaven and love others, fear heaven and care for everything. Is to stick to the right way to be a man.
The so-called love is to abandon one's own selfish desires, be considerate of others and be altruistic.
Saigō Takamori is one of the three most respected figures in Meiji Restoration, and his most prominent life creed is "selflessness".
Kazuo inamori always puts Saigō Takamori's Proverbs on his desk and reads them from time to time. From this, we can get valuable enlightenment on the road of life.
The first lesson left by Xixiang is "selflessness". Because of "selflessness", I dare to take responsibility at critical moments. When reformists were arguing over major reforms, Xixiang kept his promise:
"The discussion is over. Although there are objections, if this reform continues, Japan will have no future. If there is an accident afterwards, I will bear all the responsibilities. "
"The gentleman's career is based on this, and he was born in Tao." Kazuo inamori persisted in penance all his life, tempered himself, practiced the great belief of respecting heaven and loving people all his life, and established his own empire and spiritual monument.
In kazuo inamori's mind, work is beautiful and life is eulogized. Work embodies the triple meaning of life:
Work is not only for survival, but also for making a living and tempering life.
Work is responsibility. With a highly responsible work attitude, enthusiastic dedication and achievements, the value of life is reflected.
High-quality work is the highest return to life and the best answer to life. A successful life will certainly go to the palace of honor through the palace of diligence. Repay the society with the spirit of altruism and become a person who has a positive impact on society.
Only by constantly burning yourself and constantly improving can life be meaningful.
