I took these two sentences out of context, which are "respecting career and enjoying career" in The Book of Rites and "being prepared for danger in times of peace, enjoying career" in Laozi. Whether what I said is in line with the original intention of the Book of Rites and Laozi needs no further study. But I firmly believe that the word "dedication" is the only way of life.

The main focus of this topic is naturally the words "respect" and "music". But you must have a job first, and then you will have a respectable and cola theme, which is easy to understand. Therefore, before the text of the speech, we should first talk about the necessity of having a job.

Confucius said, "It's hard to eat all day without heart!" He also said, "It is difficult to live in groups all day, but it is not as difficult as words, kindness and wisdom!" Confucius is an educator, and there is no untraceable person in his thoughts. He just shook his head, sighed at these two people and said, "Difficult! Difficult! " It can be seen that all the problems in life can be cured by medicine, and the unemployed, although moved by the Great Sage, are helpless.

There was a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, Zen Master Baizhang, who often taught his disciples a proverb, saying, "If you don't do anything, you won't eat for a day." Apart from what he said in class, he had to sweep the floor, clean the table and wash clothes by himself every day until he was eighty years old. Once, his favorite pupil wanted to serve him and quietly did all the work he should do today. The old Zen master, who cares about words and deeds, is honest and impolite, and never eats that day.

I quote these two paragraphs from Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to prove that everyone should have a proper career and keep working. If someone asks me, "What ranks first in a hundred lines?" What is the first evil? "I replied without thinking:" All trades come first, and all evils and laziness come first. "Lazy people without a job are simply Mi Chong in society, thieves who" rob others of their hard-earned money ". We should make a thorough crusade against such people and never forgive them. What I want to talk about today is to give students, who have jobs and are now preparing for their careers, what attitude they should take towards their current jobs.

The first is to be dedicated. The word "respect" is the simplest and most straightforward way for ancient sages to teach people to be human beings. Unfortunately, it was later said too implicitly by some people, which led to unrealistic. Only Zhu Xi can explain it best. He said, "If the Lord is at a loss, he is respectful." In today's words, if you do one thing, you will be loyal to it, and you will concentrate all your energy on it. This is respect. What's respectable about karma? Why should I respect it? On the one hand, human beings work for life, on the other hand, they live for labor. Since man is not a machine specially created by God to digest bread, it is natural for everyone to decide to do something because of his position and talent. Everything that can be called a thing is respectable in essence. Being president is one thing, so is pulling a rickshaw. The name of the matter, in the eyes of laymen, has a high degree; The essence of things, in terms of theoretical anatomy, is not competitive. As long as the president believes that I can be a president, I will really take being a president as a serious matter; People who pull rickshaws always believe that I can pull rickshaws before pulling them. Really, it is a reasonable life to take rickshaw pulling as a serious matter. This is called the sanctity of profession. No occupation is not sacred, so no occupation is not respectable. Only in this way, so we have no choice in various occupations. In short, in life, you have to work every day. Work is a virtue, and not working is a sin. As for what I should do? It all depends on my ability and situation. Because of his own talent and situation, to do a job to the extreme is the first person between heaven and earth.

How can I finish a work? The only secret is loyalty. The psychological source of loyalty is respect. Zhuangzi remembers the story of a rickety husband, saying, "Although the world is big, there are many things, but only my wings know." Anyone who does something will regard it as my life. No matter what other benefits, he will not sacrifice what I am doing to exchange with him. I believe that as a carpenter, I can make a good table, and its value is the same as that of your politicians. I believe that cleaning toilets when I am a dung collector is as valuable as fighting a besieged enemy when you are a soldier. We all work for the society, so you don't have to envy me, and I don't have to envy you. I'm afraid I did something wrong, so I'm sorry about the food I ate this day. So when I do this, I won't be distracted at all Ceng Wenzheng said, "Sitting on this mountain and looking at that mountain will accomplish nothing." A person who doesn't respect his profession, from an academic point of view, is blaspheming the sanctity of his profession; In fact, you must have done something bad and ended up hurting yourself. Therefore, major is the most needed and beneficial to life. Zhuangzi said: "Not with ambition, but with god." Confucius said, "Do what you want, but don't do it." The dedication mentioned is nothing more than these reasons.

The second is to be happy. "Hard work!" This kind of sighing voice, no matter who it is, will often be revealed in the mouth. But I want to ask him, "It's hard to work, isn't it hard not to work?" It's such a hot day today, I'm shouting my throat out here, and you people are all pulling your ears. Some people look at us so seriously; On the other hand, if we go gambling and drinking, isn't it just to find God? Not bitter? You should know that all emotions are subjective, not objective. Life lasts from the moment you are born to the moment you die. You can't put your limbs and five senses aside except sleeping. As long as you use it, you are either fascinated or laborious, and hard work is always inevitable. People who can use abacus can only find happiness from their efforts. I think the first-class miserable people in the world are unemployed people who wander around all day and don't know where to put their bodies and minds. Their lives are really miserable. Second-class people are those who hate their jobs. They obviously want to do it, but they are full of reluctance to do it. Can you run if you don't want to do it? You can't. The result is still frowning and sad to do it. Isn't this a joke to yourself? Let me be honest with you.
