How did Zeng Guofan do it from a fool to a saint?
Zeng Guofan181kloc-0/was born in an ordinary family. The elders in the family are very discerning people and pay more attention to their children's knowledge. Zeng Guofan's eldest son is the object of his parents' fancy. When I was 6 years old, I entered school. This man who will make great achievements in the future is a little less qualified than others. Everyone has read many stupid stories of Zeng Guofan. I can't recite a poem all night. Bian Xiao thinks there must be an exaggeration in this. Zeng Guofan's character is very stubborn, and he won't stop until he reaches his goal. Later, I failed in the exam and didn't give up until I was admitted. His father has been taking exams, and Dai is always just a scholar. Everyone pinned their hopes on Zeng Guofan and sent him to many places to study. At first, the exam was not ideal, but he chose not to give up, insisted on the exam, and finally was admitted to imperial academy, which lived up to expectations. Zeng Guofan is tough, sensible and considerate. He really walks steadily and quickly in the officialdom. It took only ten years for him to become a second-class assistant from an obscure little official. If Zeng Guofan is really an idiot, how can he sit in that position? It's just that everyone has different advantages, and some people are not suitable for learning by nature. Zeng Guofan changed from a fool to a saint more because of his character. After becoming an official, he tried his best to handle everything by himself without the help of others. Moreover, he is better at finding out that a person's strengths are at a disadvantage, knowing people and being good at their duties. Even when he finally became a senior official, Zeng Guofan insisted on self-reflection every day, reviewing his actions and correcting his mistakes. Many people were carried away by power after they embarked on their official careers, and once they could not tell who they really were. Smart people and persistent people will get the upper hand at first, and after a long time, they are likely to come from behind. Talent is the springboard of success, but persistence is the secret of success.
