Happy Yourself "The Emperor's Internal Classic" writes: All diseases are caused by Qi, anger causes Qi to rise, sadness causes Qi to disappear, and fear causes Qi to lower; anger hurts the liver, thinking hurts the spleen, sadness hurts the lungs, and fear hurts the lungs. kidney.

Mrs. Dundee said: Disease is not only a malfunction of the body, but often a malfunction of the mind. How important happiness is!
Today, people are more aware of the decisive role of mental health in physical health. Among all the secrets to good health, "emotional stability and a happy mood" are the first priority.
This is because when a person is distressed, bored, sad or painful for a long time, the entire cerebral cortex's ability to regulate and control the subcortical center is weakened, and many parts of the subcortical center directly regulate the functions of various important organs in the body. Such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion, body temperature, etc. At the same time, due to the "unpleasant" state of the cerebral cortex, it also seriously affects the body's endocrine function and the body's immune function. From the above we can see how harmful bad emotions are to people’s body and mind! ——How smart are those who know the importance of happiness and are happy themselves!
Healthy Self Franklin said: Staying healthy is an obligation to yourself and even to society. Emerson said: Health is the first wealth. Marie Curie said: The basis of science is a healthy body. Deplitskaya said: Good health and a high degree of physical training are important conditions for effective mental work. How important health is!

It would be even more regretful and lamentable if one "died before leaving the battlefield" or died young. ——People who know the importance of health and keep themselves healthy are so smart!
The great philosopher Bacon said: When you are angry, never dare to believe in yourself. Indeed, it is so good! When people are passionate and impulsive, due to the influence of strong emotional reactions, the thinking function activity of the human cerebral cortex will decrease. At this time, people's understanding and judgment will be significantly reduced. Therefore, you must not believe your own judgment at this time, and you must use your rationality to control negative impulsive passion. Otherwise, it is easy to say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, and even cause irreparable heavy losses.

Those who act emotionally are foolish, while those who act rationally are wise. How important is reason! ——How smart are those who know the importance of reason and act rationally!
Being objective means trying not to make the mistake of idealism. There are two basic forms of idealism: subjective idealism and objective idealism. Subjective idealists exaggerate the subjective spirit (human will, feeling, experience, "heart", etc.) as the only credible thing. Objective idealists regard the so-called "objective" existence (which actually does not exist) as the master and origin of the material world and human society.
No matter what form of idealism, the harm to people is very great, even immeasurable. If a person makes the mistake of subjective idealism, ignores his own abilities, does not combine his wishes with the needs of society, and chooses the wrong goal in life, he will only be inactive throughout his life and waste his precious time in vain. If the poison of objective idealism is too deep in a person, he will become superstitious about ghosts and gods and believe that they really exist. In the least case, he will be deceived, and in the worst case, his honor and life will be ruined. The most typical example is the great physicist Newton, who gave the rest of his life to God and wasted the rest of his life. Those who do it subjectively are stupid, and those who do it objectively are smart. How important it is to be objective! ——People who know the importance of doing things objectively and do things objectively are so smart!
Flexibility in engagement is one of the main manifestations of intelligence. For example, doing "anti" when you should be "rebellious" is a sign of being very smart: you should be soft and strong when you should be soft, stupid and smart when you should be stupid, good when you should be naughty, evil and good when you should be evil, stupid and smart when you should be stupid. When the time comes, it is loyalty, when it is time to retreat, it is the retreat, when it is time to make progress, when it is time to lose, it is gain...
If the issue of flexibility rises to the level of philosophy, it is the question of whether materialist dialectics can be adhered to. Materialist dialectics is the only correct ideological understanding of the connection, movement and development of the material world (human society). Its main point is: all parts of the material world are universally connected and interact with each other; they are also moving and changing all the time. This requires us to look at and deal with problems from a connected perspective and a developmental perspective.
Simply put, it means seeking truth from facts and solving specific situations on a case-by-case basis. Otherwise, you will be rigid and dogmatic and make big mistakes and suffer big losses. How important it is to be flexible! ——How smart are those who know the importance of flexibility and work flexibly!
Be bold in your work. Xie Juezai said: You should be bold and careful in doing things, and think before and after, but you cannot make a decisive decision immediately. If you miss a good opportunity or shrink from the difficulties and fail in the process, you are a useless person. Galshua Rui said: In all daily affairs, strong and decisive action is very much needed. Clay said: No matter how strong a person's mind is, if he lacks the will to make a decision, he will never achieve anything. Alexandre Dumas said: For those plans that require decisive and courageous execution, our excessive concern about those around us is almost the only obstacle to success. Tasso said: The person who creates his own destiny is the one who is both wise and brave. Darwin said: I must admit that luck favors the brave. How important it is to be bold!
If we continue to stop, there will be future troubles. Decisiveness and bravery are a very important psychological quality of a person, which to a certain extent determines a person's success or failure, joy and sorrow, and happiness. ——How smart are those who know the importance of being bold and act boldly!
Confucius said: If you are curious and eager to learn, you are not ashamed to ask. Wang Chong said: If you don’t learn and know yourself, if you don’t ask and know yourself, you will be doing things that are unprecedented in ancient and modern times. Li Zhengdao said: When you encounter a problem, you must dare to ask why. What's terrible is that I can't ask questions or take the first step. John Locke said: If they are not inquisitive, their ignorance will make them stupid animals. Einstein said: Asking a question is often more important than solving a problem, because solving a problem may only be a mathematical or experimental skill. But raising new questions, new possibilities, and looking at old problems from a new perspective requires creative imagination and marks real progress in science. From the above, we can see how important it is to be curious and ask questions, both for learning and innovation! ——How smart are those who know the importance of asking more questions and are curious and ask more questions!
Treat setbacks kindly Xu Teli said: Difficulties are both bad and good things. Difficulties force people to find solutions, and difficult environments can train talents. Bacon said: Miracles often appear in bad luck. Belinsky said: Unfortunately, it is the best university. Hume said: Good times make our energy idle and useless, making us unable to feel our own power, but obstacles awaken this power and use it. David said: My important discoveries were inspired by failures. Goethe said: Struggle is the school for mastering skills, and setbacks are the bridge to truth. Edison said: Failure is also what we need, it is as valuable to us as success. Only after we know all the ways to do a job poorly can we know the way to do a job well. How important setbacks such as difficulties and failures are!
Difficulties can best train people, and failures can best educate people. Difficulties are your best friends, and failures are your best teachers. People who regard difficulties as friends and failures as teachers are very smart. ——How smart are those who fully understand the importance of setbacks such as difficulties and failures and treat them well!
There is always a certain inevitability in appreciating and owning something that belongs to us, that is to say, it is very suitable for us under certain conditions. When you feel bored and feel like something is not for you, think about why. Is it that he (she, it) has become bad or useless, or are you tired of seeing and using it? You know, if you don't cherish the things that suit you, you will regret it very much once you lose them. Because clothes that look good on others may look ugly on you; because if you eat rice and white noodles every day, you will feel delicious if you eat a meal of cornbread. In fact, it is not delicious but fresh. What you have is worth it, and what you don’t deserve is suffering. The best thing to have is what suits you. How important it is for us to have it! ——How smart is a person who knows the value of what he owns and appreciates what he has!
Learn to educate yourself Mencius said: A gentleman studies the Tao in order to achieve self-satisfaction. If you get it by yourself, you will live in peace; if you live in peace, you will have deep resources; if you have deep talents, you will be able to draw from the source. Gu Junzi wants to get what he wants.
Humility is not only a sign of self-cultivation, but also a sign of intelligence. ——How smart are those who know the importance of humility and are very humble!
Step by step Laozi said: The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest millimeter; the nine-story platform starts from the base of the stove; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Han Feizi said: The difficult things in the world must be done in easy ways, and the great things in the world must be done in details. Hua Luogeng said: Learning and doing scientific research is like climbing a ladder, you have to do it step by step. If you want to go faster, take four or five steps with one foot, and you will have to fall down. Do it step by step! The path I have taken is a step-by-step path. Qin Mu said: Practicing basic skills is like laying a foundation. If the foundation is not good, the building will not be built high. Chen Jingrun said: Only by laying a solid foundation, practicing basic skills, step by step, step by step, and gradually improving, can we finally hope to reach the peak of science. Su Buqing said: Laying a solid foundation and practicing basic skills well are the secrets of academic study. Locke said: The trick to learning a lot is not to learn a lot all at once. Pavlov said: Before you want to climb the peak of science, you must thoroughly study the preliminary knowledge of science. Never start doing the next thing before you fully understand the previous thing. How important it is to proceed step by step!
Whether it is work, study, research, or everything like recognizing people, employing people, educating people, etc., we must follow the basic principle of "step by step" when doing them. Otherwise, haste makes waste, and things are counterproductive. ——How smart are those who know the importance of taking things step by step!
An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time. This ancient motto of the Chinese people tells a simple and plain truth: time is more valuable than gold. The time of a person's life is indeed very short, and we should cherish it a hundred times. However, this does not mean that we can reduce the necessary rest time at will. Without income there is no expenditure, without loss there is no gain, and without rest there is no work. Necessary rest is for better work and study, and they are not contradictory at all. Only when we are well rested can we have a clear mind to remember and think; only when we are well rested can we have strong muscles to work and work. Otherwise, it will not only be harmful to work and study, but also seriously damage physical and mental health in the long run, and even endanger life. How important is necessary rest! ——How smart are those who understand the importance of rest and balance work with rest!
The most typical example of being unable to remain calm and composed when encountering difficulties is "on-the-spot dizziness": some people who take more important exams usually have good grades, but when they arrive at the exam room, their brains become confused due to excessive tension. In chaos, many things that you could do in the past have become incompetent. This is because such people have poor psychological quality and cannot stabilize their emotions. In this way, emotional reactions of fear and tension will affect the brain's understanding, memory, thinking and other activities.
If you are not afraid of difficult questions, you are afraid of having your head covered; if you are not afraid of high mountains, you are afraid of weak legs. Not only exams, but no matter what big things you encounter, fear and nervousness will seriously reduce people's intelligence and physical strength, thus bringing a very bad negative impact to themselves. How important it is to be calm! ——How smart are those who know the importance of calmness and remain calm in times of trouble!
Seize the opportunity Lin Qingxuan said: With many things in life, if you miss one hour, you may miss a lifetime. Romain Rolland said: Life passes quickly, and an opportunity does not appear twice. Carnegie said: When an opportunity appears in front of you, if you can firmly grasp it, you will succeed nine times out of ten; and those who can overcome accidental events and find opportunities for themselves can achieve 100% victory. Bacon said: The old man gave you his hair first, but when you didn't catch it and regretted it, you could only touch its bald head. How important the opportunity is!

Respect others. Everyone’s first inner need is respect.
People are eager for understanding and support, they all pursue fairness and freedom, and they all look forward to democracy and equality. These inner needs deeply contain the requirement for others to respect themselves. Many conflicts between people are caused by disrespect for others. The principle of respect is a basic principle that should be followed in management, education and other sciences. It is better to give people face than to give them gold; it is better to give them respect than to give them gold. How important it is to respect others! ——How smart are those who know the importance of respecting others and never forget to respect others in all situations!
