A fool is like Zeng Guofan. Reading by candlelight at night makes up for it by diligence. Even if there is a gentleman on the beam and laughs at his stupid endorsement, he has never wavered. With a foolish and loyal heart, he finally became a famous ZTE minister and a generation of Confucian generals who helped the poor and saved the people. Although the thief is clever, he can listen to him read the article on his back several times on the beam, but he can only be submerged in the dust of history; Although Zeng Guofan is stupid, he has remained famous through the ages. As he said:? Only sincerity in the world can overcome falsehood in the world, and only stupidity in the world can overcome cleverness in the world. ?
People who know nothing about their friends and keep their mouths shut about their mistakes can often recognize themselves. Don't be discouraged when you fail, and don't be proud when you succeed; Strive for progress when you are not positive, and seek humility when you are positive. Climb the peak of life in the process of retreating and advancing. Looking back at history, those who refuse ignorance and defense can only fall into the bottomless abyss. Fang Zhongyong, a prodigy, is gifted. I was able to write poetry at the age of nine, but I let my talent go and lost my sincere heart in my hard work. Finally, Jiang Lang was exhausted and lost his creativity. There was also a prime minister, Hu, who relied on his talents to be open-minded, held power in the ruling and opposition, lost his humility, and eventually led to his death. From this perspective, it is a more rational life choice to be ignorant and defensive.
There are ignorant people, and there are more happy people. People who are willing to be clumsy can be content with being clumsy and be more leisurely than ordinary people. Poor at self, poor at cleverness. We often see that experienced dancers are so familiar that they can perform the whole dance with their eyes closed on the stage. But Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, said that a play always takes three points to live. I'm not saying that I'm going to be on stage after only learning seven points, but I still have a three-point dramatist's heart after mastering it. With this clumsy attitude, the performance will not make mistakes due to negligence, and the perfect will be perfect.
Being poor is a kind of life that returns to the original heart and is just right. There is a master of Chinese studies, Ji Xianlin, who concentrates on his studies, seeks seclusion with humility and lives a simple life; Mr. Qian Zhongshu spent ten years in the catastrophe, hiding his cleverness and revealing his clumsiness, and living a stable life; There is also a writer named Sun Li, who is a paper cutter and a bookkeeper. He is not good at naming names and enjoying life. It is this willingness, this willingness and this persistence that have made the extraordinary lives of the masters.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Perhaps it is on my humble road of self-encouragement that I progress with my own shortcomings and succeed with my own shortcomings. After thousands of repetitions, I finally turned my shortcomings into cleverness and achieved self-transcendence.
