Aim high and keep high is what Zhuge Liang warned someone during the Three Kingdoms period.

"Aim high" is what Zhuge Liang warned his nephew during the Three Kingdoms period. From "The Collected Works of Zhuge Liang·Book of Admonitions to Nephews": "My husband's aspirations should be lofty and lofty, he should admire the sages, abandon his passion and desire, and abandon his stagnation, so that the ambitions of the common people can be revealed and preserved, and compassion should be felt."

Original text: Husband’s ambitions should be lofty and lofty, admire the sages, abandon passion and stagnation, make common people’s ambitions clear and exist, and feel compassion; endure bending and stretching, get rid of the small and broken, consult widely, get rid of stinginess, even if there is flooding and retention, what harm will it do to you? Beautiful fun, why worry about it? If one's ambition is not strong and perseverant, his mind is not generous, he will be mediocre and stagnant in the world, he will be silently tied to emotion, and he will always remain in mediocrity, and he will inevitably be in a bad state.

Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period and an outstanding statesman, strategist, writer, and inventor in ancient China. Zhuge Liang's representative prose works include "The Master's Guide" and "The Book of Commandments". Wooden cows and flowing horses, Kongming lanterns, etc. were invented. Zhuge Liang "dedicated his life to death" and was a representative figure of loyal ministers and wise men in traditional Chinese culture.

Zhuge Liang’s open legislation and fair law enforcement were different from the feudal legal trends of the same era. Zhuge Liang further emphasized the serious consequences of not ruling the country by law, "If there is no punishment at the top and no etiquette at the bottom, even though there is a world and wealth all over the world, those who cannot avoid it will be like Lai Feng. Every husband will be punished by a common man." Orders are given with rewards and punishments, but people cannot disobey their orders, such as Sun Wu and Zhi Zhi. Therefore, the orders cannot be taken lightly and the situation cannot be passed."
