3 1 Luxury people are not rich enough, and frugal people are poor enough.

Original: The extravagant are rich and insufficient, why are they poor and surplus? Those who can work hard and complain, how can they be as honest as those poor people?

Although extravagant people have money, they are always dissatisfied. It is not as good as a thrifty person who is poor but has a full heart. Although a capable person is tired, he has forged a grudge, which is not as comfortable as a stupid person and can save his heart.

Interpretation: People must know what they want when they are alive. Actually, what we need is very simple. All we want is happiness.

What is happiness? It has no specific concept, maybe it is a feeling, maybe it is a spirit, maybe it is a substance, and both are indispensable, especially in today's society. However, spiritual wealth is more important. The power of the spirit is infinite, and the thought is magical. Only when the spirit is rich will there be a higher level of pursuit. People must pursue material things, and the quality of life can be guaranteed, but they can't be confused by material things. Behind the material is their persistence in their ideals. Only by realizing one's ideal and fulfilling one's mission can this life be meaningful.

Be a cultured and tasteful person, live freely, face difficulties and challenges all the time, and those who dare to face the waves of life are truly strong. Always be prepared, work hard for a better life, and live well for the people we love and love deeply. Whether you are rich or poor, whether you are rich in knowledge or have nothing, be a happy person and live a full life.

No one is happy, hungry, cold or troubled.

Original: Being famous is fun, but I don't know that nameless happiness is the most real; Knowing that you are hungry and cold is trouble, but knowing that you are not hungry and cold is even more trouble.

I only know that fame and status are a great pleasure in life, but people don't know that happiness without fame and status is the most real pleasure in life; I only know that hunger and cold are the most painful and worrying things, but people don't know that those who don't suffer from hunger and cold are more painful because of various desires.

Interpretation: People's needs are hierarchical. When the food and clothing in life is solved, there are different levels of spiritual needs. It is wrong to wait passively, because it is realistic for people to pursue wealth and make their lives better, but they cannot forget their self-cultivation.

33? Don't argue about length, don't be superior to women.

What time is it in the firelight of the stone? Snail horn has more women than men, Xu tianxia?

Life is like a flash of iron hitting a stone. In this short life, how much time is there to compete for fame and fortune? The space occupied by human beings in the universe is as small as the corner of a snail. How big is the world to win in this narrow place?

Commentary: Wang, a talented woman in the Qing Dynasty, was born in a scholarly family. Her grandfather is an official. Although the official is not big, her library is full of 75 bookcases. She likes reading extensively in grandpa's study since she was a child. Wang knew how to cherish time when he was very young. She said: "No matter how poor your life is, you should also know how to cherish every inch." I think there is endless knowledge in life, so I should cherish every minute.

But in the feudal society at that time, not to mention studying science, even writing poems and compositions would be laughed at. Those so-called literati think that women can only help sewing clothes for dining tables and shouldn't hold pens and dance. Wang was indignant at the feudal custom that men were superior to women. In his letter to his girlfriend, Mrs. Fang, he said, "Men and women are all human beings." There is such a sentence in her poem: "I believe that women like men, who says my daughter is not a hero!" " This shows how much she wants to break away from the shackles of inequality between men and women and fly freely to the sky. Although Wang was depressed about real life, she didn't give up on herself. She advocates that women should strengthen their study and pay attention to their self-cultivation. "I'm afraid they are all people and should learn the same thing."

This is how Wang practices himself. She often looks up at the sky alone, studies meteorology, observes the flow and changes of clouds, and pays attention to the humid and sultry climate. After long-term observation and recording, she has accumulated a lot of information. For the weather changes, she has been able to grasp the general, can predict the rain or shine. She can make a correct judgment on the weather in her area and the bumper harvest or drought or flood of crops. In her short life, she wrote a large number of papers and works, including 13 volumes of the first episode of Defengge. In addition to literary works, she has written more than a dozen books on astronomy and mathematics and a single article, such as Illustrated Astrology, Simple Calendar, Theory of the Circle of the Earth and so on.

Wang, who lived in her girlhood more than 200 years ago, made such an ambition: "Read the book of Wanli and try to be more ambitious than her husband." . At that time, she had no teacher to teach her, no classmates to discuss knowledge together, and even no very simple scientific instruments. She studied hard, taught herself hard and practiced repeatedly, and made academic achievements in astronomy, mathematics and meteorology. This was unique at that time. Qian Yi, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, praised her as the only outstanding female student since Ban Zhao.

Always worry about death and disease, but you can eliminate hallucinations.

Original: lust is burning, but when I think of illness, I feel like cold ashes; Fame and fortune are sweet, but the thought of death is like chewing wax. An old friend often worries about death and disease, but he can also be disillusioned and grow up.

When lust burns like fire, just think about the pain of disease, and the fire will become like a pile of cold ashes; When fame and fortune are as sweet as honey, just think about the scene of death, and fame and fortune will be as tasteless as chewing wax. Therefore, one should always think about birth and death, which can also eliminate some evils and increase one's mind to study in Germany.

Interpretation: When people are sick, they will feel that life is illusory and very sad. When they are about to die, they will probably only have the idea of survival. So people should think about the opposite of things at ordinary times, not do whatever they want. Confucius said: "A gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, his blood gas is uncertain, so he should be cautious; It is also strong and bloody, and it is fighting; I am also old and my blood gas is declining, so I have to quit. "Stop color can save lives, stop fighting can avoid disaster, stop can be full name. Zhu said: "Sages have the same blood and gas, but different ambitions. A gentleman cultivates ambition, so he is not moved by blood, but helped by virtue. "To live is to control your own desires and cultivate some virtues. Don't lose your nature because of desire, so you will eventually make a difference.

There was a scholar who flew all over the world and was busy giving a speech. I almost met an air crash once and lost my life. To this day, he still has the expired ticket. Later, whenever he encountered something unsatisfactory or setbacks, he would always take out the yellowed expired tickets and look at them again. At this time, all the grievances and grievances in his heart will disappear without a trace, because after that death, he felt that every day was particularly precious. Life is fragile, and too many accidents can end the journey of life.

? Greedy beggars, contented princes.

Original: greedy people, don't wait for jade to distribute money, they can't be granted public, and they are willing to be beggars. Those who are satisfied, the soup of quinoa is the cream, the robe is warmer than the fox, and the people should not be princes.

If a greedy person gives him gold and silver, he will still resent not getting pearls and jade; When he was made a prince, he would complain that he was not made a duke, so the rich and powerful were in high positions, but he was willing to be a beggar because he was not satisfied. People who know that they are satisfied, eating wild vegetables and coarse grains, will feel more beautiful than fat Gu Mi; Wearing coarse robes and gowns also feels warmer than a fox mink coat. Although ordinary people have low status, their character is not worse than that of princes and nobles because of contentment.

Interpretation: "Laozi" once said: "The disaster is greater than dissatisfaction, and the blame is greater than desire." In modern society, people's desires are infinitely expanding, as if everything can be the object of possession; The understanding of "progress" in modern society is too one-sided, and it seems that any status quo needs to be destroyed indefinitely; In modern society, the pursuit of development is too blind, and it seems that all resources can be squandered. This so-called "never satisfied" mentality is the root of modern diseases. Troubled by all kinds of modern diseases, modern people are in a state of "often unhappy" and "often unhappy". The rise of western postmodern thoughts is based on profound reflection on modern diseases.

In modern society, science and technology are changing with each passing day, and material products are extremely rich. How many people are laughing at the backward productivity of the ancients, and how many people are regretting the simple material life of the ancients. However, the reality we modern people face is that psychological pressure is getting heavier and heavier, the natural environment is getting worse and worse, interpersonal relationships are getting colder and colder, and social development is changing with each passing day. Think about it, if you don't realize the fun of kerosene lamps, how can people invent electric lights again? If you don't enjoy living in a bungalow, how can you have the motivation to build a building? People who are truly satisfied are not poor and happy, but live in bungalows and enjoy the happiness of bungalows and live in buildings. They won't feel superior just because they moved from a bungalow to a building, nor will they feel unacceptable because they moved from a building to a bungalow. Content is not measured by buildings, nor by bungalows, but by every realized goal or wish.
