Zhuge Liang’s famous saying and the journey of a gentleman: be quiet with yourself and be frugal to cultivate virtue.

The complete sentence of Zhuge Liang's famous saying "When traveling with your husband as a gentleman, you should be quiet to cultivate yourself, and be frugal to cultivate your virtue." Virtue, without indifference, cannot make one's ambition clear; without tranquility, one cannot go far. To learn, one must be still, and talent must learn. Without learning, one cannot broaden one's talents, and without ambition, one cannot achieve learning. Sexuality and arrogance cannot inspire energy, and impatience cannot be cured. Nature. Years go by with the time, thoughts go with the day, and they become withered and withered. Many people do not take on the world, and they stay in the poor house with sorrow. What will happen again!

From:? Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments"< /p>

Translation: The character of a person with both ability and political integrity relies on inner peace and concentration to cultivate body and mind, and relies on frugal style to cultivate character. If you do not look down on worldly fame and fortune, you cannot clarify your ambitions. Without physical and mental tranquility, we cannot achieve lofty ideals. We must concentrate on learning, and study hard to increase our talents. If we do not study hard, we cannot increase our talents, and if we do not have clear ambitions, we cannot achieve success in learning. The pursuit of excessive enjoyment and laziness cannot inspire our spirits. You cannot cultivate your temperament if you are frivolous and irritable. Years pass by, and your will wears away with the years. In the end, you are like a dead branch and a leaf, (becoming a person who does nothing) of no use to society, (by then,) staying in a broken house. Here, how can it be too late to sigh with sadness?

Enlightenment: A person must be calm and have few desires before he can have a clear ambition, and he must be lonely and quiet to reach a profound state.
