"Get fresh, get fresh, get fresh" was originally about a simple bathing problem:
If you wash all the dirt today, you should wash it every day in the future, and if this goes on day by day, you should persist every day.
The three words "new" in this article originally mean taking a bath to remove dirt from the skin and make the body look brand-new, which is extended here to abandon the old and draw a new picture in spirit. Therefore, this sentence means: if we can get rid of the old and update it every day, we must persevere.
King Shang Tang aims to motivate himself to be self-reliant and innovative.
"Be fresh, be fresh, be fresh" means to emphasize timely reflection and constant innovation from the perspective of diligence and dynamics, and to be a brand-new self every day from the inside out.
Let's take a look at the Confucian idea of "cultivating Qi and leveling the peace". The cultivation of a gentleman is in the first place. Confucianism believes that self-cultivation should be talked about from time to time, every day, every month and every year.
the well-known saying: I visit myself three times a day.
Ceng Zi said, "I visit myself three times a day. Is it disloyal to others? Make friends without believing them? Can't you learn it? "
introspection is the wisdom of reason, and it is the self that truly dominates itself. A gentleman should introspect from time to time, gradually improve his self-cultivation to achieve noble moral conduct, "if you are new, new, and new", be enlightened and achieve perfection.
Therefore, "University" puts forward that "from Tianzi to Shu Ren, all are based on self-cultivation".
these classics are equally applicable today.
some people may say that the pace of society is getting faster and faster now, and it has been overwhelmed by several mountains in heavy life! Working, studying, raising children, caring for the elderly ..... I'm exhausted from coping with life, so how can I have the special energy to cultivate my morality?
It is precisely because of this that we need to release ourselves from impetuous and utilitarian real life and make clear our goals and directions. To emancipate our minds, innovate constantly and strive to improve ourselves, we especially need to correctly understand the true meaning of "being innovative, being innovative, and being innovative".
on the long road of life, is it faster for a person to carry a heavy load or to unload his baggage and go into battle lightly?
the answer is obvious.
once again, the phrase "be innovative, be innovative, and be innovative" is extended, that is, to carry out spiritual baptism and moral training ......
so as to complete the real emancipation of the mind!
"Be fresh, be fresh, be fresh" is a proactive attitude towards life! There is a famous saying in the west: "People can't stand in the same river twice." I am not who I was yesterday, and the river of today is not the river of yesterday.
No matter what occupation a person is engaged in or what field he specializes in ..... we must keep this spirit of "innovation". If you make progress every day, everything will make progress; If you gain new knowledge every day, everything will make progress.
on the road of life, in fact, our biggest opponent is never others, but the old self of yesterday. Let's take surpassing yesterday's old self and achieving a better new self today as our ultimate goal in life!
Let's start from ourselves, start from the bits and pieces around us, don't worry, don't hesitate, put self-cultivation into every little thing in our life, and constantly improve and welcome the "new day, new day" ourselves.
If everyone can be himself, our society will naturally be beautiful and harmonious.
I was very encouraged to read a golden sentence written by a literary friend today.
The following excerpt is taken as the concluding remarks.
tomorrow will not be long!
tomorrow is not long!
in the future, it will never grow!
I advise you not to cherish the gowns,
I advise you to cherish your youth.
don't lose your youth, don't lose today, and don't wait for tomorrow.
live in the present, live up to your youth,
welcome your brand-new self every day!
