Only the most sincerity in the world can defeat the most false in the world;

Only the most clumsy in the world can defeat the most skillful in the world.

Note: The artistic conception of the words and sentences is derived from the philosophy of Lao and Zhuang, which advocates that the most natural things are the most invincible. The so-called inaction means doing everything. Both sincerity and clumsiness mean that if you are extremely sincere and down-to-earth, you will not be afraid of other people's pettiness or cleverness.

If you are not a sage, you will be a beast;

Don’t ask about harvest, but ask about hard work.

Note: The first sentence is to express Zeng Guofan’s determination to become a saint, and the second sentence is to say, don’t think about the harvest first, but focus on the present, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and compare the attitude and process

The result is more important.

The more a gentleman gives in, the more arrogant a villain becomes.

Note: Zeng Guofan advocated tolerance, but his tolerance was not without a bottom line. This sentence means: If you tolerate a gentleman, a gentleman will be grateful, but if you tolerate a villain, the villain will only take advantage of it. Accommodate things as they come, don't welcome the future, don't mess with the present, don't love the past. Note: The only thing we have is now. Let us face all the emergence and changes naturally. Don't worry too much about the future. Let the past pass without nostalgia.

If you have anything to do with suspicious people, it will never work out.

If you do things with beneficial people, you will suffer.

Note: If you have sex with people who are suspicious and like to think wildly, things will definitely not succeed; if you have sex with people who are greedy for profit, you will definitely implicate yourself. Allow yourself to suffer. Being self-sufficient with talent and being proud of oneself will be tabooed by villains and despised by gentlemen.

Note: If a person is complacent because of his talent or boasts about his ability, he will be jealous of the narrow-minded villain and despised by the virtuous gentleman.

Doing things quickly is not as good as thinking,

it is not as good as doing it right, and the intention is not as good as being calm.

Note: It is better to think twice before doing things than to pursue speed; it is better to do things appropriately than to do things conveniently; it is better to be calm than to do things in a hurry.

I will be left alone for a thousand years,

I will study again after returning from hundreds of battles.
