The so-called spiritual improvement means practicing truth, goodness and beauty in work and life, and always making conscience and true self shine.
Because the essence of human heart is truth, goodness and beauty, everyone yearns for truth, goodness and beauty, but it is very difficult to put truth, goodness and beauty into practice and persevere. Because from the inner structure, there are instinctive desires, emotional impulses, rational calculations and dirt of the soul in people's hearts. How to purify, how to inhibit? Need daily practice. How to practice? Mr. kazuo inamori summed up six points from his personal experience, that is, he needs to make efforts in six aspects, which is called "six improvements"
1 "Give as much as anyone's efforts." Put your heart and soul into your work, strive for perfection, and have fun from it, so as to restrain your laziness. At the same time, concentrate on your work and selfish distractions will naturally fade away. This is the most effective way.
2 "Be modest, not proud." Efforts are fruitful, especially after mastering power, people will become arrogant, which is simply a historical law, and even great people are inevitably vulgar. Therefore, it is very important to restrain arrogance and remain modest.
3 "reflect every day." Even if you are diligent, people are sometimes lazy; Even if we tell ourselves to be modest, people will still be arrogant and sometimes lose their temper because of the flattery of the villain. Insist on introspection every day and you won't make yourself worse. This practice is indispensable.
4 "You should be grateful if you are alive." If people seriously reflect and realize that their achievements and progress have benefited from the support and help of people around them, they will be grateful. In addition, if you regard setbacks and disasters as opportunities to temper your mind and gain your ability, say "thank you" from your heart and work harder, that is excellent practice.
⑤ "Accumulate virtue, do good deeds and think of others." This practice should pay attention to "great goodness is ruthless, and small goodness is great evil". Distinguish between the great good and the small good, be really good for others, and be really altruistic, which is the effective practice.
⑥ "Don't have emotional troubles." Practice the above five, and your troubles will be greatly reduced. But after all, people are troubled animals, especially when they encounter failure, blow and injustice, they will inevitably have pain and trouble. At this time, it is a good practice to restrain your troubles with reason and put your energy into your new job.
As long as we stick to these six practices, our mind will be improved, our career will be successful and our life will be happy.
