Head-up is an attitude towards people, life and society, and it also reflects an inner pursuit, that is, calm and calm. Head-up, without any deviation, will not see others on it, let yourself be sycophantic and lose yourself; Don't feel that you are the only one, so that you are carried away by pride and selfishness. Head-up is easier said than done. Bai recalled that Oriental Time and Space only did one thing in 20 years: head-up. It seems insignificant, but it is enough to win everyone's respect and applause. Confucius, the most holy teacher, treated his students with a straight face. He said to the students, "I will grow up one day, but I won't." He allowed his disciples to talk and communicate equally. In his mind, he is just a little older than his disciples and not above them. Only in this way can Confucius charm Ceng Zi when he expresses his ambition of "dancing in the wind and singing in his hometown" and expresses his admiration of "I have the same point"; Only in midsummer, when we express the feeling that "Xi is a clever smile and beautiful eyes look forward to Xi, I thought I was looking forward to Xi", can we sincerely sigh the feeling of "after the ceremony" and think that midsummer inspired him. It is precisely because of Confucius' "head-up" that the whole Confucius School has not become a strict religion, but a school that learns from each other and is happy. He is not a clay figurine in the Confucius Temple, but a living person, a kind-hearted elder, so that Zi Gong can still remember him after his death and keep filial piety for three years. This is not the influence of an ordinary teacher, but the influence of Confucius' modest and confident demeanor on people's life!
It's not easy to head up. People feel inferior when their status is low, and they are prone to conceit when their status is high. Just as Han Yu said in "Teachers' Notes", "Humility is shame, and being an official is close", they are lazy to learn from their teachers. Everything is so thoughtful, we can't keep a "head-up" mentality, and other things can be imagined. In fact, the reason why we can't look straight is because we are not confident enough, and our hearts can't be controlled by external things. So, after a little stimulation, you can't rest assured and think again and again. Finally, we were provoked by foreign objects and protected ourselves with an expression of inferiority or pride: I put my posture so low that you are embarrassed to hurt me, or, just like me, what can you do to scare people away? But why is this?
If you are really capable, you will always fly like Dapeng. Why do you have to gnash your teeth and be embarrassed to imitate pigeons and scorpions? If you have insufficient ability, you will accumulate a lot of money. Why grovel and beg for mercy?
Keep your head up! Know the world more rationally, and maybe you will find your ideal and ambition in the near future. You don't have to feel inferior, and you don't have to be proud. Just look at your heart calmly, look at the world and move forward firmly! Maybe your heart will be calmer!
