History is a mirror, reflecting the good and bad fortune of all people in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad. Next, let's analyze the experiences of several historical figures. The founding emperor who can create a country in history can last for a long time. Most of them started their careers from the beginning, and their motivation was to achieve a peaceful and happy life for all people in the world.
Zhou Wenwang was inspired by people's support for his noble character. There is no dispute that he practiced comity in his vassal territory. As a result, the local customs under his jurisdiction gradually became mellow, and the people finally lived a happy life in harmony. At that time, in Shang Dynasty, because Shang Zhouwang coveted the luxurious life, he reused traitors and villains, and the wise men were excluded or even killed. Even a loyal minister like Bigen who has devoted himself to his country has cut off contact with his heart.
The extremely dark political rule makes people live a dark life and complain a lot. The governors from all over the country heard of Zhou Wenwang's virtue and all came to Qishan to submit. Shang Zhouwang was jealous of his virtue and talent, so he was arrested and imprisoned. In prison, Zhou Wenwang endured inhuman torture. Shang Zhouwang killed his eldest son, chopped it into paste and made steamed bread for him to eat.
At that time, Zhou Wenwang clearly knew that the steamed stuffed bun he was eating was his son's meat, but he ate it with pain in his heart. In order to successfully finish the Zhouyi he wanted to write in prison, he had to let himself live first. With the help of translating Fuxi's gossip into written classics for the benefit of the whole world, Zhou Wenwang finally managed to successfully complete the Book of Changes.
Later, Confucius admired Zhou Wenwang's talent, expanded the Book of Changes, and continued to compile and compile it. Later, The Book of Changes became a treasure book leading China culture. Zhou Wenwang, with his profound virtue, not only created the imperial hegemony for later generations for 800 years, but also made great contributions to the creation of China culture. His name will go down in history forever!
Duke Zhou is Zhou Wenwang's younger brother. When Zhou Wenwang was dying, Zhou Wuwang was still young, so Zhou Wenwang entrusted his son King Wu to the Duke of Zhou for help. Duke Zhou is a famous saint in history. He helped King Wu until he came of age. Later, he participated in the compilation of his brother's Zhouyi, and wrote a supplementary poem for Zhouyi on the basis of his brother's hexagrams, enriching the content of Zhouyi. In addition, he also helped Zhou Wuwang actively promote the etiquette law, so that ordinary people could strictly abide by the etiquette system, so as to regulate the state order. Duke Zhou contributed a lot to the long-term stability of the Zhou Dynasty.
Zhou Wuwang inherited his father's footsteps, took Jiang Ziya as the prime minister, and finally overthrew Shang Zhouwang's rule and established the Zhou Dynasty by virtue of his profound merits. During his reign, he still listened to the opinions of many sages, actively promoted "Zhou Li" and realized the stability of the Zhou Dynasty, so he could not be said to be a virtuous man.
The Qin Dynasty is a dynasty with a very short history. The fundamental reason why it can't last forever is that its founder Qin Shihuang, after unifying the six countries, began to crave pleasure and lead a luxurious and wasteful life. Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall in order to pass on his ideas to future generations. He built the Epang Palace, put the treasures of the six countries in the palace, and let the beautiful women captured by the six countries live in the palace in order to satisfy their desires at any time.
Later, he spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to build the terracotta warriors and horses and the mausoleum after his death. He expects that after his death, he can still lead the handsome army and dominate the world, and he can still continue his hegemony as if he were alive. Many people were buried with him after his death. He also advocated burning books to bury Confucianism, hoping to let the people get better rule in ignorance. However, the tyranny of Qin Shihuang finally aroused people's dissatisfaction and anger. Only three years after his death, his dynasty completely collapsed. His hegemony will always be impregnable and become an illusion.
History is the best mirror, which reflects the truth of everyone's fate. From the analysis of the above historical figures, we can easily find out what is the fundamental reason that determines the success or failure of our cause. The initial motivation of doing things, whether it is for the well-being of the world or to satisfy one's own selfish desires, determines the success or failure of the cause. If what we do is out of self-interest and the satisfaction of selfish desires, then even if such a cause can flourish for a period of time, it will inevitably fail and will not last long. If what we do is for the happiness of all people in the world, such a cause will certainly last for a long time.
There is a hexagram in the Book of Changes called Judas hexagram, which means that this world is originally the world of the whole world and belongs to no one. Therefore, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. If what we are engaged in is for the long-term interests of the whole world, it must be "self-destructive." In the dark, there will naturally be God's help to help us carry out our goals to the end!
When we know that the key to the success of our career lies in whether our motivation is private or public, we can adjust our motivation and achieve our smooth career! "Not for a moment, but for a thousand generations. Do not seek for self-interest, but seek for the benefit of the world. "
May everything we do be "for the people's livelihood, carry on the past and remember the past, and create peace for all generations." Only in this way can we make ourselves ambitious and create a great cause that is earth-shattering and tearful. People live all their lives, how can they rot with vegetation? "Life is a hero, and death is a ghost." These two sentences were written by Li Qingzhao in Song Dynasty. A weak woman made such a wish because of her motivation to be a hero among the people and benefit the world, and finally made Li Qingzhao the first poet of the graceful school of Song poetry.
We usually do well. If we can know how to correct our motives when doing things, then all our actions will be positive. If you are right, you will certainly get positive results, and you will finally enjoy the joy and happiness of career success. You are right, you are right. If the line is right, the fruit is right. Everything in the world has a good cause and a good result. Just serve the public wholeheartedly; Selfishness is evil. Hello, there will be good results; What goes around comes around. Karma, not happy at all.
Mills of God grind slowly but sure. In selfishness, the bigger the cause, the deeper the evil will be. If we deeply understand this principle, we will certainly be lenient with others in strict self-discipline. Of course, we will ask ourselves to go all out seriously and tenaciously. We will constantly reflect on our mistakes, strive for a new day, keep growing, and finally achieve ourselves, achieve ourselves and contribute to society!
