“Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and disturb his actions through actions. It cannot." "Be born in sorrow, die in peace and happiness" comes from "Mencius: Gaozi Xia". This view was put forward by Mencius when he inherited Confucius's Confucian ideas of "benevolence" and "propriety". In the long history, this sentence has been verified countless times and has become a wise saying that people use to warn themselves. What these words say is: The reason why those who bear heavy responsibilities suffer so much is because "God" first lets them live in trouble to test and temper their will before granting them heavy responsibilities. For a person, if he does not experience hardship, he will not know how difficult it is to survive; if he does not experience hardship, he will not know how difficult it is to succeed. Mencius first cited six examples of people who finally took on important responsibilities after being tempered by poverty and setbacks, proving that sorrow can inspire people to work hard and hardships can encourage people to achieve new achievements. Then, the author further demonstrates from two different perspectives: a person's development and a country's rise and fall. Worry leads to survival, and happiness leads to death. Through the following conclusion, the reasons for the success of the first six characters are explained: the difficult environment, on the one hand, gives people hardship, hunger, poverty, fatigue, and worry, which are often unsatisfactory, but on the other hand, it is precisely these Difficulties strengthen and inspire people's will, allowing people to increase their intelligence and talents in the process of constantly overcoming difficulties and seeking survival.
