I got up early yesterday, and then I finished the task well. I even set aside some time in the evening. I don't know what to do at the moment. Let's watch TV shows, movies and movies that I didn't want to watch. I picked up the iPad and remembered that I was going to the library to return books. However, there is still a lot to read, so I considered reading.
Continue reading Ceng Shiqiang's book about Zeng Guofan. This time I talked about Tingting, but I looked at dry goods. I can't bear to put down my book and copy my notes quickly while reading.
After reading my feelings, I think I should give myself an hour, 20 minutes to exercise, 20 minutes to adjust my mentality and 20 minutes to find my way out. Always reflect, understand your own shortcomings, and then correct and make up. Self-cultivation. Introspection, do your best.
Caution and independence lead to inner strength, and respect leads to physical strength.
"Those who are cautious, solitary, unwilling to remain anonymous, unreasonable for a moment, and not guilty are warm-hearted."
"Those who respect the Lord are neat and serious outside, quiet and pure inside, and make unremitting efforts in Zhai Zhuang, so they are constantly striving for self-improvement."
Everyone wants to be a big official and make a fortune, but fame is decided by heaven, and some of them are beyond human control. What we can do is Xiu De. Xiu De was alone.
In fact, in the long run, wealth is a floating cloud. Sooner or later, dust will return to dust, and life is alive, which is a blink of an eye. Only by making meritorious deeds, establishing virtue and making a statement can we realize our greatest value. Therefore, many things should not strive for the moment, but for the future. For example, make a statement and leave something for the world.
We should cultivate self-cultivation and learn from the ancients. The way of self-cultivation of the ancients is nothing more than diligence, greatness and modesty.
Diligence makes you lazy;
Modest, so proud;
Big means both.
Diligence will not make you lazy, modesty will not make you proud, "greatness" means both diligence and modesty. Together, these three points are the greatest way for the ancients to cultivate themselves and govern the country.
In any era, there must be nothing wrong with maintaining the qualities of modesty, courtesy, diligence and thrift, so as to achieve continuous self-improvement.
Tingjing, a thin book with few words, is the crystallization of Zeng Guofan's wisdom. We can take the silence of the court as a mirror and often look back to see if we have any problems. If problems are found, they should be adjusted quickly. Perhaps this is the greatest contribution and value of Ting Jing.
