What is thinking square and practicing circle? Si Fang, thinking is as sharp and angular as a square, acting decisively and having its own personality. Practice perfection, strive for perfection when doing things, do everything perfectly, and leave no regrets.
Thoughtful and unique thinking, and decisiveness is an aspect of "thinking". Not having your own thoughts when things happen is a lack of thinking; or you only think about yourself when things happen and don't think about the thoughts of the people around you. Neither of these is called unique thinking. Real unique thinking is taking care of yourself and everyone else.
Let’s talk about responsibility. I have decided that I will have corresponding responsibilities. There are some responsibilities that you don’t have to take on, but there will always be people who take them, and there will definitely be people rushing to take them. Why? I could have easily put down my burden, but I had to add a few more stones to carry it. They do this because of their thoughts.
Being willing to take responsibility is certainly another manifestation of Sifang and an honor. Taking on this responsibility shows that you have the ability, ability and level. You are recognized by everyone. But it also has to have a beginning and an end. Responsibility is a double-edged sword. Only if it has a beginning and an end will people respect your talent. If it has an end, you will become a person without responsibility, which will make people no longer trust you and your reputation will no longer exist. So responsibility is tied to behavior.
When it comes to behavior, you have to think of the "Xing Yuan" I mentioned.
"Xing Yuan" means doing things politely and treating others peacefully and kindly. "Huainanzi, Master of Skill Training" says, "The heart desires small but the ambition desires big, the wisdom desires roundness and the action desires squareness." It is necessary to act vigorously and resolutely, but also to act according to the situation, and to treat others with sincerity. This is called roundness of conduct.
Treating others with sincerity is also a sign of integrity. Integrity is the foundation of human beings; if a person is not honest, he will not achieve great success. This shows the importance of integrity. ?
For students, Duan Kao is nothing more than a very distressing matter for every student. Whenever you are taking a Duan exam and looking at a question that you don't know how to do, you will start to play with the pen in your hand and become infinitely bored. At this time you will think, it would be great if I knew the answer to this question. The exam is over. Before taking the next subject, if you don’t want this situation to happen again, then you have only two choices. The first is for me to review it carefully, but this may not necessarily be effective. Or write down the answers. It means that what you are facing is the test of life and the test of integrity. Whether you are sincere or not depends on whether you are holding a piece of paper in your hand.
"Thinking squarely and practicing roundly" is not only a good quality in itself, but also the foundation of a group of good qualities. We must be a person who “thinks squarely and acts roundly”.
