Teacher Zhuge was a famous politician and military strategist in ancient my country, as well as a strategist who will remain famous throughout the ages. Today, my father recommended me to read his "Book of Commandments", which helped me understand from the way he educated his son that his superhuman wisdom did not just fall from the world, but was the result of his self-cultivation, determination, diligence and study.
"The Book of Commandments" says: "The way of a gentleman is to be quiet to cultivate one's character, and to be frugal to cultivate virtue. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition, and without tranquility, there is no way to go far. To learn, you must be quiet, and then you must learn. Also, without learning, one cannot develop talents, without ambition, one cannot cultivate one's energy, and if one is impetuous, one cannot cultivate one's nature. As time goes by, one's mind will fade with the passing of time, and one will become desolate and miserable. Staying in a poor house, what will happen again?" The article advocates cultivating one's character through "quietness" and cultivating virtue through "frugality". Educate his son to have lofty ambitions and to realize his ambitions by studying hard to increase his talents. To learn good knowledge, he must be calm and focused. Otherwise, years will fly by with time, and people's fighting spirit will also pass with time, and eventually they will wither and fall like a dead tree, becoming useless to society, sitting sadly in a poor thatched hut, accomplishing nothing in old age, and having no regrets. and.
Teacher Zhuge taught his son this way, and I believe he did the same thing himself.
"The Book of Commandments" is also of great educational significance to me. I am active by nature and have many hobbies but it is difficult to concentrate on doing one thing well. I like to give up when encountering difficulties, so my academic performance fluctuates. Playing chess is even more ups and downs, probably because there is no "indifferent ambition" and "quiet and far-reaching".
The reason why Teacher Zhuge became Liu Bei's military advisor at the age of only twenty-eight, killing enemies thousands of miles away while chatting and laughing, and conquering the Kingdom of Shu for Liu Bei in troubled times, and becoming famous throughout the ages, must have been from his childhood. "Quietness reaches far", well-read. I think if I start to concentrate on studying from now on, "quietly cultivate oneself" and "nurture virtue through diligence and frugality", I won't be able to become Teacher Zhuge, but I will definitely be better than Teacher Zhuge's son.
