Don't be surprised by yourself. Be calm.

"Small Window": "Don't be surprised, look at the flowers in front of the court; I have no intention of staying long. I hope the sky is full of clouds. "

The world likes to be loved and is afraid of humiliation, while enlightened people forget all humiliation, so they are not surprised by it and are not tired of things outside their hearts.

The situation in which the mind pursues foreign objects is just as described in Du Fu's poems: "Crazy catkins dance with the wind, and fine peach blossoms chase the water."

A heart is floating around with the reputation of the outside world, moody and sad, and it is impossible to have a moment of peace and purity.

Only when people get rid of the shackles of vanity and delusion and are indifferent to fame and fortune can they truly gain inner peace.

Second, the gains and losses of the bureau

Gain and loss follow fate, let nature take its course.

The ancients said, "Don't think about eight or nine, but always think about one or two." You may not get it after careful consideration, and it is not necessarily wrong to take a step back. It's better to let nature take its course.

Don't care too much about gains and losses, let everything go with the flow and keep a normal heart.

A person's life is spent in gains and losses, or life is a collection of gains and losses. Life is a process of constant gain and loss, so we should take it lightly, gain and lose with fate, and be happy with it.

Third, the interest bureau

Interests are intertwined, and if you see benefits, you want to harm them.

As the ancients said, "interests are related" and "advantages have disadvantages".

The advantages and disadvantages are because I have you and you have me. Interest and evil are always intertwined. Everything in the world is good and bad, and bad and good.

History records: "The prophet is interested."

This sentence contains two meanings: the first is to see the advantages and disadvantages in advance; The second is to see evil from interests in advance and good from evil in advance.

But in reality, the more common situation is that "people see benefits without harm, and fish see food without hooks."

Fourth, the situation between the rich and the poor.

Poor and ambitious, rich but not arrogant.

The ancients said: if you are rich, you can do what you can, and if you are poor, you can do nothing.

There is nothing wrong with the desire for wealth itself, but "a gentleman loves money well." The gap between the rich and the poor in the world is inevitable. What the poor have to do is not be poor, but take pleasure in self-sufficiency. What the rich should do is not to be arrogant, extravagant, contented and charitable.

Song Yuan's "Kill Dogs": "There are sunny days, and there are profits and losses in the month. If you are rich for a long time, you are poor. "

If the poor have aspirations, they will be able to get rid of poverty sooner or later; Rich people are neither arrogant nor impetuous, and they can naturally maintain their wealth for a long time.
