Silence is a kung fu. The more urgent things are, the quieter people are.

If you have a cool head, you can attack anything and do anything.

Everything is calm. I don't believe that there are no ancient sages today.

The first way to do things quietly.

"University" said: "Be quiet before you can be safe, be safe before you can think, and then you can get it."

It can be said that quietness is the foundation of stability, worry and gain. People often say: quick wits are used.

That was not the case. Problems are more likely to occur in haste, and mistakes are more likely to occur in busyness.

At present, major events often care about gains and losses and are forced by interests. The more so, the more we should support it with static gas.

Meditation is the best way to get rid of impatience, and silence is the soil of wisdom.

Therefore, Zeng Guofan said: "Everything must be handled calmly and gently. If you are in a hurry, you will be afraid of making mistakes. What's wrong with the world? Therefore, being calm is the first way to do things. "

The Taoist said, "The platform is quiet, and quietness can give birth to stability, and wisdom will give birth."

As the saying goes, "a quiet life is full of wisdom", Zeng Guofan deeply agrees with this.

He said: "Peace of mind is the essence of observation, and it is also labor-saving to cure."

If you are calm, you can observe the essence of things and find the essence of things; If you are calm, you will save effort in handling things, that is, get twice the result with half the effort.

Sit quietly and cultivate your mind.

Through the ages, the more sages encounter earth-shattering events, the more calm and calm they are.

No one is born knowing how to meditate. Only by standing the test of the world can the foundation be more stable and you can be as quiet as water.

Zeng Guofan, when he was young, was once a young man full of shortcomings.

Later, he was admitted to Jinshi and went to Beijing to be an official.

For his own career, Zeng Guofan made up his mind to correct his shortcomings. He listed many commandments for himself in his diary.

He even changed his name to "Descaling" and said resolutely, "We must clean him up thoroughly in the future and never relax. The past is like yesterday's death, and the future is like today's life. "

But I still often make some old mistakes. At this time, a man named Tang Jian reminded him.

Tang Jian said: "If it is not quiet, it is not dense, and it is all floating. It is always quiet ... the most important thing is to be quiet. "

The problem floats on the surface and can only be corrected when you calm down.

If you can't calm down, there will be more introspection, and everything will be empty.

This view penetrated the fog in Zeng Guofan's heart.

He began to learn meditation from Tang Jian. No matter how busy you are, you should sit still for four quarters of an hour every day.

He wrote in the Proverbs of Master Quiet: "Thinking about God is like the rising sun, and it is as quiet as the town of Ding. Those who can keep this second language are also. "

With the stability of the body, it drives the inner peace, makes the body and mind harmonious in peace, and practices in meditation, which benefits Zeng Guofan endlessly.

Later, he led the troops to fight, and he was able to calm down and command, which was inseparable from the "quiet" kung fu.

Quiet in the heart, not in the world.

Things change at will, the environment is created by the heart, and all troubles are born by the heart.

Zeng Guofan said: "people's hearts can be calm. Although everything changes, nothing is clear." . Quiet in the heart, not in the realm. "

No matter what the surrounding environment is, we should learn to meditate:

Can tolerate frustrating things;

When you meet something you like, you can take it lightly.

Speaking of honor, you can put it down.

When you are worried and angry, you can be calm.

Life is like this, bitter, sweet and sour, with five flavors.

As the saying goes: peace of mind makes you happy, and happiness makes you happy.

Inner peace can make people happy, and good things will follow.
