Zhuge Liang in Di Zi Gui

Original: A gentleman's journey is to cultivate one's morality by quietness and frugality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. If you study quietly, you must study. If you don't study, you won't learn widely. If you have no ambition, you can't succeed. If you are slow, you can't be energetic, and if you are dangerous, you can't be radical. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen?

The character of a gentleman is to silently improve his self-cultivation and cultivate his moral character with thrift. Without indifference, you can't show your ambition, and without peace and stability, you can't achieve lofty goals. Only when you study can you calm down and learn to grow. If you don't study, you can't have extensive talents, no ambitions, and you can't achieve your studies.

Neglect can't cheer up, and adventure can't dominate character. Over time, the will is exhausted, so the branches and leaves are withered, and most of them do nothing to society. How can you regret it when you are sadly guarding the poor hut?
