Take a step back and take two steps forward. If successful, you can avoid disaster and save yourself. Dealing with interpersonal conflicts, staying modest and avoiding Miyake can resolve the crisis and create good social relations. There are advances and retreats in doing things, and eclecticism can always take the initiative. Zeng Guofan did not give up speaking out of turn. Retreat without trace is the most wonderful state.

(1) Retreat quickly to save the dead end.

(2) Give in moderately and stay away from the center of contradiction.

(3) Retreat for progress and review the machine.

Detailed explanation of Zeng Guofan's 36-character formula

0 1, ambition: nothing can be achieved without ambition; Where there is a will, there is a way;

Be a first-class person. "Ambition" is the determination and belief to pursue the goal of life, which determines the purpose of life and career and dominates the firmness of achieving the goal. Life begins with determination. If you don't stand up, there is nothing in the world; If you can aspire to it, you can do anything. Zeng Guofan firmly believed that everyone can be a saint, and he set himself the lofty ambition of "not being a saint, but being an animal". "ambition" provided spiritual power for his life, and his famous career began with the word "ambition"

(1) Nothing can be achieved without will.

(2) If you are not a saint, you are an animal.

(3) The higher the ambition, the greater the achievement.

(4) Choose teachers and friends carefully and make friends with people with lofty ideals.

02, unchanged: perseverance, stone can be carved; If you want to achieve a little success, start with perseverance;

Nothing is impossible without perseverance. "Heng" is the foundation of holiness, that is, sages and heroes, and the great cause must start from this word. There are three elements: one is "persistence", which lasts for decades and never stops; The second is "concentration", look for one thing and go all out if it is the same; The third is "step by step". Over time, many a mickle makes a mickle. Keep these three, and you will succeed one day.

(1) Perseverance can open a stone.

(2) to do great things, we should start with the word "perseverance"

(3) What should be done has been done from beginning to end.

(4) Life is always the first virtue.

03, special: everything is expensive in one thing; Specialization, scattered with the struggle;

Use your strength to the idea. Zeng Guofan said that the reason why westerners are so skilled is that they concentrate on everything, drill deeper and deeper, and gradually reach the extreme. He believes that if we want to catch up with the west, we must have the word "expert". All his life, no matter big or small, he devoted himself to this. Seek teachers' colleges, friends' colleges, feelings and things, thus summing up the hard truth that "everything is expensive" Man's energy is limited, but the world is infinite. If you want to make a difference, you can only succeed if you concentrate on fighting annihilation.

(1) authoritarianism: with one heart and one mind, you can succeed.

(2) concentration: if the mind has two uses, it cannot be achieved.

(3) Specialization: Hard work is like digging a well, and everything is expensive.

(4) Specialization: The advantage of the West lies in specialization.

04, cooked: practice makes perfect, wonderful in cooked; Everything is familiar, and familiarity can be strong;

Stupid kung fu pays off. Familiarity is a stupid kung fu. Zeng Guofan learned to write poems, and he was familiar with the poems of Su Shi and Lu You every day. He enjoyed it all his life. Finally, his mouth was full of saliva and witty sentences came out. Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect. Zeng Guofan ruled the army as an official, all of which verified the merits and demerits of the word "cooked". You know, all kinds of skills in the world are unreliable if they are not refined by "familiarity".

(1) Practice makes perfect.

(2) Everything is cooked, and only when it is cooked can it be strong.

(3) Establish scale first, and then refine it.

The second part: the strategy of self-cultivation: abundance, tranquility, relaxation, leisure and relaxation.

05. Yu: All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance; Be broad-minded and help more;

Open your mind. The official sea is in turmoil, and the official career is completely blocked. It is impossible to be completely independent by individuals. In the meantime, it is inevitable that it will be bumpy. If you are depressed and complain, it is not only useless, but also easy to cause disaster and injury. At this time, it is inseparable from the word "Yu". Those who are "rich" are full of rivers and have great tolerance. Zeng Guofan believes that magnanimity is the decisive character of whether a person can take on a big post. Abundance is blameless, and affluence is uncontested. Being a man, having plenty of food and clothing, keeping chastity, is difficult to understand and has no disadvantages.

(1) The word "broad" should be used as a medicine for treating the heart.

(2) The bureau is too small to be a world event.

The word Yu can helped get rid of the danger.

06, static: static can give birth to Ming, anger hurts the body; Quiet and self-cultivation, quiet and far-reaching;

If you don't move, you will, and if you move, you will. Static and vivid, more able to brake. Move more, make more mistakes, move less, and there will be less trouble. Silence is not only a method of inner cultivation, but also a method of timely change. Zeng Guofan knows the wonderful truth of the word "quiet" and can do things quietly. He repeatedly warned his son that being active and active is one of his main shortcomings. Now everyone likes to move and be quiet. I don't know how many hidden dangers there are in the noise!

(1) Be quiet to cultivate one's morality; if you are not quiet, you will be far away.

(2) Doing nothing and saying nothing is better than taking all kinds of medicine.

(3) Be calm before doing things.

(4) People hit for the first time and I hit for the second time.

07. Light: When people are with me, they must look very flat; When you are successful, you must bow your head;

Taste the true meaning of life. Ambitious people care a lot and pay attention to a lot, so they are often hardworking and bear the burden of humiliation. At this time, we should use the word "light" to get a comfortable solution. Zeng Guofan was busy all his life, but he kept in good health by calmness, lived indifferently, served as an official by dullness and studied far away. He has peace of mind and a happy life.

(1) When you are troubled by government affairs, you just have fun.

(2) If you regard yourself as ordinary, you will succeed.

(3) When you become famous, you must bow your head.

(4) send the majestic in the distance.

08. Leisure: Life is too short to build without a plan; Busy and error-prone, and relatively calm;

Leave a little freedom to accommodate big things. When you are in charge of doing great things, you often have to take great risks and decide great doubts. Its physical and mental stress and tension are unbearable and imaginable. If you have a word "leisure" in your heart, you can leave a pure land, relax and feel at ease. "Idle" is the pressure reducing valve on the high pressure furnace; Leisure is a landscape painting of White Tiger Festival Hall. "Leisure" is Kong's plan in "Empty City Plan". Take quiet while moving, steal time from busy, and reveal great wisdom in life in plain.

(1) Idle: Things are much more idle because they are busy and make mistakes.

(2) Leisure: the word "leisure" is the secret of nourishing the heart.

(3) Leisure: Let go if you have the ability.

(4) Leisure planning: At a critical juncture, the word "leisure" will set off a storm.
