As the poem says, "It's hard to know what you do when you get it from paper". The ancients have long recognized this and warned future generations how to read and write. In many schools, teachers will encounter their own desires in class, but many students will also make mistakes in homework and exams. In addition to the teacher's reflection on whether there is something wrong with his teaching methods, students don't understand with their heart, and it has a lot to do with not training and mastering, thinking that they will understand in class. Only when they saw the real kung fu did they find that there were still many problems, either wrong here or wrong there. It is clear that it is wrong to do it, but it still makes no sense.

Many people think that they have read a lot of books, experienced a lot of things, have profound knowledge and outstanding achievements, and can see through the people and things in the world, but when it comes to the truth, they are immediately exposed. This is why people often say "listen to what they say and watch what they do". It depends on how you actually do it, just like some products are well advertised.

Su Dongpo has a short story that explains the importance of the unity of knowledge and action. This story tells that Su Dongpo was inspired to write a five-character poem: "The first day is in the sky, and the light shines;" Eight winds can't blow, sit on the purple lotus. " After writing, he was very proud, and felt that he reflected his kung fu practice, so he sent someone to give this poem to Fo Yin Jackson for appreciation. After Fo Yin Jackson saw it, he approved two words for people to take back to Su Dongpo.
Su Dongpo thinks that Fo Yin is commendable. He quickly opened it and it read "Fart". Su Dongpo was in a hurry, so he crossed the river by boat to find Fo Yin's "singling out". Yes, but monks don't appreciate Su Dongpo's poems. How can they call him "fart"? As a result, Jackson Fo Yin said with a smile, "Didn't you say that the Eight Winds can't be blown?"? How can' a fart has crossed the river'? " Su Dongpo suddenly realized that he was ashamed.

Some people may be able to do well with the wind, and once they encounter difficulties and adversity, they will become dejected and depressed. It's a pity that his talent can't play a role because of this.
Therefore, when you encounter difficulties, you should cultivate your mind and make your heart strong. Improve your mind and self-cultivation. Even in adversity, a person can rise from the predicament and achieve himself and others. Wang Yangming has set a good example for us in this respect.
He suffered many setbacks in his life: although he was brilliant, he suffered many setbacks in the exam. Finally, he went to Beijing to be an official, but he offended eunuch Liu Jin by interceding for others. He was sentenced to prison and was later chased on his way to the Dragon Field. These are unbearable for ordinary people, but what does Wang Yangming think of these? "What's the difference between floating clouds and space flight?" It can be seen that his spiritual cultivation is extraordinary.
In the eyes of the weak, difficulties and setbacks are fatal blows, which will make people lose their fighting spirit and muddle along; In Wang Yangming's view, this is an opportunity for reflection and improvement. Only through various changes can we really improve our inner cultivation, otherwise we can only cross the Dongpo River in Su Like in a short story.
Therefore, if people really want to be prepared for danger in times of peace and not lose their fighting spirit, they must hone and work hard in things. If they just read a lot of chicken soup and lack practical exercise to improve, they can't really make progress. They will only panic when they encounter things, let alone deal with them calmly, and turn disadvantages into advantages, but it is good to keep things from getting worse.
Through experience, we can hone our hearts, master our own destiny, pursue a better future in prosperity and adversity, and turn idealization into practical action. This is what we should do after watching chicken soup.
