One porridge and one meal should be thought of as hard-won, and half a thread of constant thought is difficult to obtain.
Every porridge, every meal, every fiber is the result of the hard work of farmers. Li Shen's poem "Compassion for the Farmers" goes: "It's noon on the day of hoeing, and sweat drips from the soil. Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is hard work." Therefore, for every porridge and meal, we must think of it half and half. It is hard-won and should be cherished.
Zeng Guofan’s family motto?
1. Diligence and hard work, the first value is getting up early, the second value is perseverance; generals and generals have no seeds, saints and heroes have no seeds, as long as people are willing to be determined, All can be done.
2. The emotions of ordinary people are that they are not fond of leisure and hate work. No matter whether they are high or low, wise, stupid, old or young, they are all greedy for leisure and afraid of work. This is the same in ancient and modern times.
3. Three kinds of happiness: working hard and taking a rest is the first kind of happiness; being calm and letting go of jealousy is the second kind of happiness; the sound of reading brings out gold and stone, which is the third kind of happiness. ?
4. Taking farming and reading as the foundation is a long-term solution. ?
5. Reading scriptures, reading history, reading monographs, and giving lectures on theory are not easy for those who are determined. When the saint rises again, he will follow my words. However, this is only said by those with great ambitions.
