One. A gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement

Inscription: Our advice is: Everyone should insist on walking the path he has opened for himself, and should not be intimidated by authority, not constrained by the views of the time, and not be influenced by fashion. Confusion - Goethe

"The Book of Changes" said: "The sky is strong, and a gentleman keeps improving himself. The terrain is flat, and a gentleman carries things with kindness." The sky is strong and strong, and people should be as strong as him. The so-called "Tianshi Kun" means that people should learn to be as generous and kind as the earth, have a mind that tolerates all things, be virtuous and carry all things, and have a mind that nurtures all things. The ancients tell us a truth: The Creator takes great care of the strong, making those who are strong stronger, and those who succeed more successful; on the contrary, the Creator looks down on the losers, making those who are weak even weaker, and those who fail even more failed. , this may be the law created by God, and no one can change it. In this case, we have to adapt to this law.

However, this is the reality. Constant self-improvement is an eternal mission and a necessary condition for success. And only by strengthening ourselves can we become stronger and become successful.

Historically, the Qin State, which shrank in the northwest of our country, turned out to be a very weak country. After the introduction of Shang Yang's reforms, under the strong leadership of successive generations of monarchs, they continued to strive towards one goal and continued to grow stronger, and finally became a powerful military empire and a feared country of ten thousand chariots. With capital in hand, their ambitions continued to grow. They aspired to dominate the Central Plains, conquered east and west, and eliminated weak countries and powerful opponents. Finally, during the Yingzheng period, they unified the country and created an era of great unification. After Qin unified the world with force, it did not stop. It once again used wisdom to create splendid splendor and civilization, which impressed the monarchs of all periods in China and even countries around the world, and was highly praised by heroes.

Losers often feel helpless after failure, do not accumulate strength, sum up experience and fight again, and may pass by the goddess of luck.

Once upon a time, a beautiful and gentle goddess named Vanadis lived in the distant and mysterious north. One day, Vanadis suddenly heard a knock on the door. This goddess who always liked silence was too lazy to get up and open the door. She thought to herself that she would wait until he knocked on the door again. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was still no sound. The goddess felt very strange and looked out the window: it turned out to be the young German chemist Weller. The goddess looked at Wei Le's retreating figure, shook her head and sighed: It turns out it's Wei Le who is such a daredevil! A few days later, the goddess heard a knock on the door again, but still did not open the door. The person outside the door continued to knock. This is the Swedish chemist Sevestemu. He was very patient until the beautiful and lovely goddess opened the door. The goddess fell in love with him at first sight, and after marriage they gave birth to a son named "Vanadium".

In the face of success, some people move forward bravely until victory; in the face of failure, some people give up their efforts and give in, leaving people with eternal regrets.

Young friends, in the face of career and difficulties, there is no overnight success. Success must be made with hard work and unremitting pursuit. Marx said: There is no smooth road in science. Only those who are not afraid of hardships and climb along the steep mountain road can hope to reach the glorious peak. Work hard and become the proud son of heaven in the new century and the true hero of the great era.

Two. The terrain is Kun - a gentleman carries his wealth with great virtue

Living alone in the mountains, he has lived alone in the mountains for twenty years to ensure safety. He saluted every car and walked alone for forty miles every day. Let us pay our highest tribute to this noble soul.

Indeed, some people appear mediocre in the eyes of us mortals, but their noble character supports our world day and night. The world is proud of them, and they deserve to be found deep in the mountains. Praise from the train, a gentleman carries things with kindness!

Maybe we have been hesitant, maybe we have been confused, but the noble souls of the sages are like beacons shining on our way forward: Confucius said: "Studying is close to knowledge, practicing is close to benevolence, and knowing shame is close to courage. ." Let us understand what is the "Three Virtues". Mencius said: "The old and the old are like the old, the young and the young are like the young.

" Let us understand what "fraternity" is. Zhuangzi said: "Everyone values ??profit, honest people value reputation, wise people value ambition, and saints value essence. " Let us understand what "value" is. Laozi said: "He who conquers others is powerful, and he who conquers himself is strong. "Let us understand what "victory" is.

Our country has been in China for five thousand years, and there are countless talented people. Perhaps many craftsmanship and skills have been lost long ago, and perhaps many treasures and cultural relics have also been lost. But the spirit of the sages has never been cut off. Lao Ji inherited the fine traditions passed down by China for five thousand years, and carried this towering mountain and every railway on this towering mountain with the kindness of a gentleman.

This reminds me of old man Bai Fangli. In order to allow poor children to go to school with peace of mind, old man Bai Fangli donated 350,000 yuan and funded more than 300 people with a bicycle in more than ten years. Every penny he gave to the students was made with his own legs, one foot high and one foot low. He walked through the wind and rain every day, morning and night. It is hard-won and hard-earned with every drop of sweat! Normally, an old man like him not only does not need to do anything for others, but he should accept care and care from others, but he does not, not only does not have any. , but to light up all the remaining candles that can shine for others, and burn them so brightly and brilliantly.

Love has no boundaries and kindness is great.

Culture needs to be accumulated. Countless people have emerged from the cradle of China. Many of them have never been successful, but they have carried out their noble virtues for ten, twenty, or even years. A lifetime.

Nobility is revealed in the ordinary, and broadness is revealed in the enduring.

How many virtuous souls like Lao Ji are giving silently? The descendants Guo Mingyi, Kangba Tiehan Caiwa, Xinyi brothers Sun Shuilin, Sun Donglin...

They are the backbone of the entire China, and their kindness will surely carry the entire world.

Salute, heroes!

3. Are people really smart?

Human beings have come from the ancient wasteland to the cities with tall buildings: they have come from ignorant and backward tribes. Since then, we have reached a civilized and enlightened modern society. This rapid progress all shows that human beings are the most intelligent creatures in the world, and they are worthy of being called "the essence of the universe and the primate of all things". Ingenuity has been brought to the extreme: steam engines, electricity, nuclear energy... all of these continue to show the wisdom and power of human beings. However, can we judge that human beings are the smartest in the world today? Is the world better than the past and predicting that the future will be better?

My answer is: No!

Looking up at the shrill cries of migratory birds, the sound of war in the distance is still there. News: When galloping on the plateau, it is rare to see the graceful running posture of Tibetan antelopes... Who is responsible for all this?

A large number of facts tell us that many people are only influenced by utilitarianism. . Instead of accepting the enlightenment of wisdom. Most modern wars are not purely for justice, but more for material desires and selfish interests. This fully exposes the greed, selfishness and violence of human nature. Some countries use depleted uranium bombs and other murderous weapons for ulterior purposes without any regard for the damage to the environment, resulting in a significant increase in the rate of cancer and other diseases among innocent people in the affected areas. This is not just stupidity, it is morally bankrupt and downright criminal. In addition, the environment is deteriorating day by day due to human beings' uncontrolled plundering and expropriation from nature. The variety of living things has been greatly reduced. There were about 2.5 billion species on the earth 30 billion years ago, but now only about 100 million remain. Of the approximately 2.4 billion species that have become extinct, 60% were lost in the 20th century. Since the 17th century, animal extinction has entered a period of acceleration. According to statistics from the United Nations Environment Program, of the approximately 100 million remaining species, one species of birds becomes extinct every two years, and one species of mammals becomes extinct every year. The future trend is that plants may become extinct at a rate of one species per hour, and animals may decrease by one species per day.

I can't help but wonder, how long can these few species survive on Earth? Auks, dodos, passenger pigeons, Carolina parrots, Caucasian bison... these animals that have long been extinct by humans, if they could be resurrected, would we see peace and kindness in their eyes, or anger and hostility? In fact, even a glance of hostility is now an unattainable luxury.

Human beings are just a rope on the web of life on earth. What humans do to this "net" is also what humans do to themselves. Human civilization has made this "net" full of holes. Humans are smart to use technology to prevent asteroids from "biting" a gap in the earth, but they have torn the "web" of life into a state of disrepair. That would have to be said to be extremely confusing. Maybe sometimes incompleteness is a kind of beauty, but for the entire earth's ecological environment, incompleteness is definitely not beautiful! We need a whole and beautiful earth. The Creator has given humans a beautiful planet, and humans should live in harmony with the earth with a grateful heart.

The bell of the 21st century has already sounded. But should we weigh the actions of human beings in the 20th century and even in previous centuries on a scale where one end is smart and the other is stupid, and see which end is heavier? Perhaps, for the future world, doing so will save us many regrets.
