1. Inspiration is not only to activate a person’s desire for wealth, but also to activate a person’s life energy and awaken the creative enthusiasm of a nation.

2. Inspiration is to let a person regain this power. It's not about letting the weak replace another person to become the strong one, but it's about letting a weak person be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong person and have equal vitality and creativity. Only the power that unfolds from the depths of the heart and the essence summed up through spiritual experience is the way for a person to truly gain dignity and self-confidence.

The gentleman said: You can’t stop learning.

Green is derived from blue and is green from blue; ice is derived from water and is cold from water. The wood is straight and the rope is in the middle. It is shaped like a wheel and its curve is regular.

Although there is violence, those who no longer stand up are the ones who make it happen. Therefore, if wood is supported by a rope, it will be straight, and if metal is sharpened, it will be beneficial.

If a gentleman is knowledgeable and examines himself every day, he will know clearly and act without fault. Therefore, if you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't go to a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is; if you don't listen to the last words of the past kings, you don't know how great knowledge is.

The sons of Qianyue Yi and Raccoon Dog were born with the same voice, grew up with different customs, and were taught to be like this. The poem says: "You gentleman, there is no eternal rest.

Jing Gong, you are in the right position. It is good and upright. God listens to you, and you are blessed."

God is not greater than transformation. As the saying goes, blessings are better than disasters. If I think about it all day long, it is not as good as what I have learned in a moment; if I stoop and look at it, it is not as good as climbing high and gaining insights.

When you climb high and move, your arms are not lengthened, but the person who sees it is far away; when you call along the wind, the sound is not accelerated, but the person who hears it is louder. Anyone who pretends to be a good horse will not be able to benefit his feet, but he will be able to travel a thousand miles.

Those who make fake boats can't swim, but can't run rivers. A gentleman's life is not different, he is good at things and false in nature.

Although the turtle has a long life, Cao Cao’s original poem Although the turtle has a long life, it still has its time. The tan snake rides on the mist and turns into ashes.

The old man is still ambitious, but his ambition is thousands of miles; the martyr is full of ambition in his old age. The period of profit and contraction is not only in heaven; the blessing of nourishing happiness can lead to eternal life.

Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition. Translation: Although the life span of the turtle is very long, there is still a time when its life ends.

Although the tan snake can fly in the mist, it will eventually die and turn into ashes. The old horse lies in the stable, its ambition is still to gallop a thousand miles in a day.

When people with lofty ambitions reach their later years, their ambition to make progress will not stop. The length of human life is not just determined by God.

As long as you take good care of yourself, you can also live longer. I'm so lucky, I can express my thoughts and feelings through singing." After Wu pardoned Yue, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, rebelled against the country. He was suffering from anxiety and thought. He put his courage in sitting. When he sat or lie down, his courage was lifted up. He also tasted his courage when eating and drinking. .

Said: "Have you forgotten the shameful shoes of Kuaiji?" She is a farmer, her wife weaves her own food, she doesn't add meat, she doesn't pay much attention to picking, she is a wise man, he treats guests kindly, he lifts up the poor and hangs himself, and he works with the people. . Translation: Since the King of Wu pardoned the King of Yue and (let him return to the Kingdom of Yue), the King of Yue Gou Jian was always thinking about how to restore the country, so he tired his body every day, made himself think anxiously, and hung a gall on his On the seat, you should raise your head to taste gall every day before sitting down to rest or lying down to sleep. You should also taste gall before eating and drinking.

He often said to himself: "Have you forgotten the shame you suffered on Kuaiji Mountain?" He went to the fields to farm in person, and his wife wore clothes made of cloth weaved by himself. There was almost no meat or vegetables in every meal he ate, and the clothes he wore were not brightly colored.

He treated wise people with respect, treated guests with generous gifts, helped the poor, mourned the dead, and worked hard with the people. Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments": A gentleman's journey is to cultivate one's character through tranquility, and to cultivate one's virtue through frugality.

Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal.

Learning requires tranquility, and talent requires learning. Without learning, there is no way to expand talents, and without ambition, there is no way to achieve learning.

If you are impatient, you will not be able to stimulate your essence, and if you are impatient, you will not be able to cure your nature. The years go by with the times, the thoughts go with the sun, and they become withered and withered. Many people do not take on the world, and they stay in the poor house with sadness. How will they be able to get back to you! Translation: The character of a person with both ability and political integrity relies on inner peace and concentration to cultivate body and mind, and it relies on frugal style to cultivate character.

If you don’t look down on worldly fame and wealth, you won’t be able to clarify your ambitions. If you don’t have physical and mental peace, you won’t be able to realize your lofty ideals. You must concentrate on learning, and you must study hard to increase your talents.

If you don’t study hard, you can’t increase your intelligence, and if you don’t clarify your ambitions, you can’t achieve success in learning. The pursuit of excessive pleasure and laziness cannot inspire the spirit, and frivolity and irritability cannot cultivate the temperament.

The years pass by, and the will wears away with the years. In the end, it is like a withered branch and a leaf, (becoming a person who does nothing) of no use to society, (by then,) staying at home. What's the use of sighing in sadness in a small world.
