1. Zeng Guofan’s eight golden sayings 1.1. Scholars must first be ambitious, secondly knowledgeable, and thirdly perseverant. If you have ambition, you will not be willing to be humble. If you have knowledge, you will know that knowledge is endless and you will not dare to be self-sufficient in one thing. If you have perseverance, you will be able to accomplish anything. All three are indispensable. 1.2. Who can be arrogant? What can be relaxed? Those who relax will not succeed, and those who are arrogant will fail. 1.3. Working hard is like digging a well.

After many years of experience in the army, I know that the world's affairs must be big. Keep an eye on everything and start small. Lu only said that "the one who establishes his strength first", but if it is not supplemented by Zhu Zi's "accumulation of baht" skills, there will be no confidence in the lower tip. 1.5. Don’t speak too high of a truth. If it is too high, it will be close to falsehood. I encourage my colleagues and colleagues, but I hope they will not be rude or lie. Even though it is the most superficial thing, it will be of great benefit to the body and mind. 1.6. Most of the people who are responsible for their work can never be praised without being criticized, and can be kind without resentment. Those who practice self-cultivation must not exceed their leisure time, and their perseverance must not be discouraged by ridicule. Those who weigh people should only look for a long-term advantage, and should not abandon useful materials because of minor flaws. Those who are obsessed with __ always strive for success, while those who are mediocre will be lucky. 1.7. The way to maintain good health is based on the four words of "the king is at ease and the minister is at ease". 1.8. Any writing that has spirit will have power, knowledge will have degree, emotion will have rhyme, and interest will have flavor.
