2. When discussing "having a job", Confucius said, "It's hard to eat all day without heart!" "It is difficult to live in groups all day long, but words are not as good as deeds, and it is difficult to be kind and wise!" The famous saying and motto of Zen master Baizhang "Don't do it for a day, don't eat it for a day" strongly proves the necessity of "having a job".
3. When discussing "dedication", Zhu's view that "nothing is right for the host is respect" has been recognized and put forward by the author.
4. In addition, Zeng Guofan's "Looking at the other mountain from this mountain", Zhuangzi's "No matter what ambition, it is condensed in God" and Confucius's "Being in one's place, not willing to be outside" are cited as the conclusion of the author's "dedication".
5. When Confucius discussed "happiness", he said that "knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy", and that "people are also angry and forget food, happy but forget worries, and don't know old age."

Dedication and Happiness is Liang Qichao's speech to the students of Shanghai Chinese Vocational School. Shanghai Zhonghua Vocational School is a secondary specialized school famous for testing, summarizing and popularizing vocational education in China's modern history.
The school takes Huang Yanpei's motto of "respecting workers and music groups" as its motto, advocates "using both hands and brains" and "both hands should be hard", pays attention to integrating theory with practice, attaches importance to productive labor practice and professional ethics training, and emphasizes the connection between education and society.
At that time, after numerous political turmoil, the author withdrew from politics and went to Europe to inspect and learned many problems and disadvantages of western society. After returning home, he declared that western civilization had gone bankrupt and advocated promoting traditional culture and saving the world with the "inherent civilization" of the East, so he wrote this article.
