Reading Zhang Hongjie's Biography of Zeng Guofan these days, my admiration for Zeng Guofan has increased a few minutes.

Zeng Guofan's career portrayal is also a portrayal of his life. In ancient times, a family with tens of millions could not compare with the top scholar. The ancients learned to be an official and learn agriculture, industry and commerce. Therefore, the imperial examination and it will always be the dream of scholars. If they can enter the court and do something, it will be the ultimate dream of literati.

So even if you fail the exam six times, you can't erase your inner will. In addition to his own dreams and the expectations of his family, Lao Zeng's grandfather has been training scholars all his life, hoping that they will become talents.

It is said that Hong Xiuquan gave up the exam directly after failing several times, and then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement began. Zuo also failed several exams and went straight home to practice martial arts. However, Zuo eventually became Zeng Guofan's aide and finally became a colleague. Hong Xiuquan was killed by Zeng Guofan!

Zeng Guofan is stubborn and brave enough. He took the exam six times in a row and won the imperial examination for the seventh time, but it was his perseverance that made his later achievements.

With the idea of being a saint, I began to set a goal to keep a diary. Zeng Guofan is an activist.

He also began to reflect on himself by writing a diary, and day after day's reflection made him gradually grow into an unpretentious, modest and cautious person. In the end, he was indeed half a saint, and he achieved his great goal in life.

Although we can't be saints now, we can learn from him how to keep a diary. Reflect on yourself, correct your shortcomings, and let yourself grow up slowly.

Here I especially want to thank Mr. Luo Zishuai for her 100-word daily diary plan, which records many things in my life or study. From the first word I wrote to one article after another, the diary gave me many opportunities for self-confidence and reflection.

Good transformation, advanced diary writing.

The book says that he moved in ten years and seven years, and his official career is much better than that of other officials, which can even be said to be amazing progress. He will not only abide by the rules of the workplace, but also understand people who can lead, and leaders also value his talent. Make friends, but don't be friends. This principle is so important that it preserves the self to some extent.

Take it seriously in the workplace and learn to charge it so that it will not be eliminated. Because he often studies and takes exams, and his exam results are very good, he will not be expelled from imperial academy.

Zeng Guofan's ups and downs for us in general, we should learn to get along with people like him and do things well in the workplace.

Ordinary people's improvement methods: you can also learn from him to keep a diary to reflect on yourself, and to improve reading, summarize, communicate with others and make up for your own shortcomings.

Zeng Guofan wrote in his diary:

1. Respectful, neat, earnest, always careless, unfocused, clear about what is happening, such as rising. The general meaning of this sentence is to treat things neatly and seriously, that is, to be cautious at all times.

2. Sit still. Sit quietly for four minutes every day, no matter what time, and experience the kindness of coming to the rich and recovering. It is to set up life, such as Ding Town.

Ruding town, we think of a sentence, standing like a pine, sitting like a clock, very fit.

Get up early Get up at dawn, and don't be attached to love after waking up. Now most self-disciplined people, some people have got up at 4: 30 or 5: 30. Or those entrepreneurs are also early risers. Needless to say, the benefits of getting up early should be done according to the actual situation. For example, if you can't get up at 4.5, we can set the time at 6.7.

4. Reading is the only way. If you haven't finished reading a book, don't read his book. From east to west, you have to read others'.

This method of reading is also consistent, because the ocean of books is endless. Look at this one today, and look at that one tomorrow. It may be really messy.

Here I have a little suggestion: when reading a book, read the preface first, then the table of contents, then the part that interests you, and finally the ending.

If you look at the preface and postscript, you just want to have a general understanding of the book, then you can find the place you are interested in when you look at the catalogue, and then read it again to catch your interest, so that your memory will be better and you will take notes properly.

5. Read history.

I'm talking about reading history books, twenty-three histories. Reading history makes people wise, so take a proper look.

6. Be careful.

Pay attention to the moment, the first time. We often say to be cautious, and that's probably it.

7. nourish qi.

When demonstrating gas reservoirs, you have nothing to say to people.

8. Ensure your own safety. Save labor, abstinence and diet.

Nowadays, the popular abstinence is different from what he said. Desire includes a variety of desires, combining work and rest, restraining desire and eating, which is health preservation.

9. If you know what you are, you will die. Reading and recording your thoughts every day, seeking deep meaning is selfish.

I will tell one of every diary after dinner. As long as you take notes, find a notebook and give it a name, it is called a tea party, especially to remember all kinds of enlightening things that friends talk about. We can't talk for nothing.

10. Don't forget what you can do. Write a few poems every month to test the amount of accumulation and the prosperity of qi. Don't dwell on this all the time, it's the easiest to lose heart.

1 1. Write for half an hour after dinner. Any pen and ink entertainment is regarded as your own homework. Don't leave anything till tomorrow. The more you accumulate, the harder it will be to clean up.

Writing is practicing calligraphy. Write for half an hour after breakfast every day.

12. If you don't go out at night, the miners will be exhausted.

Don't go out at night, stay at home. This suggestion is actually very good, but it is difficult for us modern people not to go out at night, and we may take a walk at night. We can change the time to not go out at 9: 00 pm, or go out for a walk every Monday or Tuesday. If you can't go out, don't go out. The home is relatively safe and you won't stay up too long because you have to go out.

This article 12 also benefited us a lot. Even if you can't do everything, you can refer to a few of them, and self-cultivation is also of great benefit.

Just as Zeng Guofan himself said: stick to your own will, suffer from your own heart and work hard, no matter how big or small, you will achieve something.

Good pattern, small things see character.

In a collective, we should learn from Zeng Guofan's model, don't be too obsessed with personal gains and losses, and concentrate on doing good things.

He and Zuo went from staff to colleagues, and he treated Zuo as always. But Zuo will laugh at his general talent after the * * * incident, because he always can't recite it in his early years. However, he will never be as knowledgeable as Zuo and criticize him behind his back.

Zeng Guofan considered things comprehensively. He should not only consider the national interests, but also analyze them from objective facts. He is not blindly partial. After all, the international situation does not allow it. Knowing that I was exhausted and that I was going to find Li Hongzhang, I finally began to understand.

Li Hongzhang is his favorite pupil and has inherited many of his advantages, but he will not put on airs as a teacher. If he needs help, he will ask for advice with an open mind.

Zeng Guofan has been practicing this goal all his life since he set the goal of being a sage. Proper action.

This shows that ordinary people want to fight back, and action is the most important. However, we should always reflect on ourselves. Only with a good model can it be possible to go up a storey still higher.

No matter what his status is, Zeng Guofan handled it properly. His appearance inspired countless people in later generations. People with positive energy are worth learning and praising.

Zeng Guofan once said: leave room for everything and be generous to others.
