In fact, Zeng Guofan is particularly powerful in three aspects, which we call Zeng Guofan's three axes.
First, keep a diary every day.
Zeng Guofan left a letter from Zeng Guofan to future generations, because Zeng Guofan kept a diary every day, in which he wrote down his daily thinking about life, his progress bit by bit, and some gains and losses. We can also call it Zeng Guofan's daily progress.
Second, he wants to find someone to play chess every day.
Why? Isn't this a waste of time? In fact, when playing chess, he cultivated his layout thinking, especially a man who led troops to fight. He has layout thinking, a higher perspective, and can look at many things from a high position. People who are good at running games are better than those who are good at being human, and those who are good at being human are better than those who do things.
Third, Zeng Guofan likes to meditate.
When a person is meditating, his heart will calm down and he will see the truth of many things. Including Jobs later, he had his own meditation room, Ma Yun had his own Dharma Buddhist temple, and many powerful people had their own meditation places and were alone, constantly improving themselves.
This is the power of Zeng Guofan's "three axes".
