Who is famous for not being indifferent, not being clear-minded, not being quiet and not being far away?
It's from Zhuge Liang's Commandment Book in the Three Kingdoms Period.

The original text is as follows:

A gentleman's trip is quiet to cultivate one's morality and frugality to cultivate morality. Not indifferent, not clear-minded, not quiet, not far away. If you study quietly, you must learn. If you don't study, you can't learn widely. If you don't have ambition, you can't succeed. You can't be energetic if you are slow, and you can't cure sex if you are dangerous. Years go with the times, meaning goes with the days, and then they become withered, and they don't meet the world, and they are sad to stay in the poor house. What will happen?

The full-text translation is as follows:

People with moral cultivation rely on inner peace to cultivate their body and mind, and cultivate their noble character by frugality and saving money. You can't make your ambition clear unless you are quiet, and you can't achieve your lofty goals without excluding external interference. Learning must be quiet and single-minded, and talent comes from diligent study. If you don't study, you can't grow your talents, and if you don't have a clear ambition, you can't achieve success in your studies. Indulging in debauchery and negative neglect can't encourage the mind to refresh the spirit, and taking risks rashly and impatient can't cultivate the temperament. Time flies at any time, and the will gradually fades with the years. In the end, most of them are out of touch with the world and are not used by society. They can only be sadly trapped in their own poor shacks. How can they regret it?
