A gentleman is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed for a long time! "This sentence comes from Historical Records, The Art of War and Biography of Wuqi, which is a famous saying of Wuqi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It expresses a person's attitude towards life, which is not willing to be mediocre, and it is an important value of advocating self-improvement and pursuing Excellence in China traditional culture.

In modern society, this sentence still has great applicability. Modern society is a society with fierce competition and rapid changes. Pursuing Excellence and constantly surpassing oneself is an important guarantee for personal success. If a person is always content with the status quo, does not make progress and does not strive for self-improvement, then he may be eliminated by society and lose opportunities and advantages in life.

Of course, what we need to pay attention to is that the pursuit of Excellence does not mean that we must do whatever it takes to achieve our own success, regardless of morality and ethics. While pursuing Excellence, we also need to abide by social rules and moral standards and be a responsible and responsible person. Only in this way can we truly maximize personal value and make greater contributions to society.
