Confucius also knew that it could not be done.
Perhaps, he can also choose "Tao is in, Tao is hidden". Like those hermits and wise men, he was no longer a politician and worried about the country and the people, but he did not retire and got an official position in a complicated and turbid world. His inner sense of responsibility told him that he knew he couldn't do it.
Traveling around the world, propagating political opinions, he survived several times and was ridiculed by the world many times. Who knows his inner pain? Only he understands that he can be tired all day long for an illusory belief. Facing the hermit's incomprehension, Confucius felt sad, but never wavered. It is also Confucius' perseverance that makes future generations respect him.
"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" is Tao Yuanming's spoony life after his seclusion. He is elegant and leisurely, putting aside worldly troubles and trivialities and living an idyllic life like a fairy.
Confucius can do the same, but he never wavered in his belief and chose to retire. Confucius can also watch the mountains and rivers, enjoy the sunset and enjoy a carefree life, but his heart forced him to abandon the world, the people and the ideal of rites and music.
Hermits and wise men are free and easy, that's just escape from reality. At that turbulent moment, people were running around calling for the idea of rites and music. Who but Confucius can be so stubborn?
Knowing that you can't do it is a kind of persistence and a kind of belief.
In the history of China, such cases are not uncommon.
When the Red Army faced numerous obstacles to climb the snow-capped mountains and cross the grasslands, they forged a firm and unremitting will like steel.
In the face of fierce enemies, Qiu did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and let the fire bite his body inch by inch; Dong Cunrui did not hesitate to blow up the enemy's bunker with his hand against the explosive charge; Huang Jiguang did not hesitate to block the enemy's gun with his own body ... They left this world with tenacious faith and courage.
Facing the backward national conditions, Deng Xiaoping resolutely decided to lead the people of the whole country to get rich together and carry out reform and opening up.
They all know what they can't do, and they have won success with their faith.
The world should carry forward the spirit left by our predecessors and forge ahead indomitable. Know what you can't do and open the road to success with perseverance.
If I'm worried about being the same as others, I'll find more materials and synthesize them a little.
Do what you know you can't do.

reading comprehension
"Knowing it is impossible to do it" is a profound summary of Confucius. Obviously, the man guarding the city gate is not an idle generation, but a great hermit with high cultivation but hidden in the city.
Back to the sentence itself, "knowing what you can't do", this is a sketch of an ideal and just person. A person knows that what he is engaged in is expected to succeed.
He is a successful man, but speaking of it, he is not particularly remarkable. A man knows what he is doing.
He may still succeed in his lifetime, but he didn't stick to it meticulously. "Silkworms will weave until they die in spring, and candles will drain the wick every night." For your faith and
Devote oneself to the ideal. It's hard and valuable. Just like the foolish old man moved mountains, just like Sisyphus pushed stones up the hillside, don't saints know that "self-denial and self-defense" is a heavy responsibility?
I still have a long way to go, but I have traveled around the world. I am "like a lost dog" and my spirit has not changed. In his later years, he retired to give lectures, still taking the culture of rites and music as the core content and contributing to the implementation of "benevolence".
As Ceng Zi said, "It's a duty to be kind. Isn't that important? Isn't it far after death? " It is this spirit that highlights the characteristics of Confucianism's active accession to the WTO, which is completely different from Taoism, which knows that it is impossible to do it.
Example:
Gong Yu Yishan
Interpreting metaphor means persistently transforming nature and fighting unswervingly.
Liezi Tang Wen recorded that there were two big mountains in front of Gong Yu's house, and he was determined to level them. Another old man is wise, laughing at his stupidity and thinking that he can't do it. Gong Yu said: I have a son when I die, and a grandson when my son dies. My children and grandchildren will never end, and the two mountains will eventually be razed.
An example of a fool moving mountains can be done but not done: first, traffic. This is a bit tricky, but it can be discussed as one of the reasons. First, I admire the imagination and realistic contact ability upstairs. But I disagree with this conclusion. Although Gong Yu moved mountains, the establishment of "smooth traffic" judged by himself may have destroyed the loss of "tourism resources" in Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain. It is conceivable that if "Wuyue Mountain" and "Everest" are killed because they hinder the smooth traffic of local people and the expansion of their residence, I really can't imagine whether this world without a backbone will become a beach of carrion. Let's not say that "because there is no difference in terrain, it may lead to bad results caused by sandstorms and other air currents and sand" or "it is abhorrent for mountains to block other people's doors" ... Therefore, Gong Yu's behavior is not "foresight", but the traditional development thought of "pollution first, then treatment", which has led to many external negative effects and endless future troubles, which is worthy of further study. Second, the spirit. Gong Yu's behavior can certainly set a good example of "perseverance", "tenacity", "diligence" and "courage" for the society. In this sense, his influence on China is understandable, inevitable and unforgettable! But classmate Gong Yu, won't he learn from the Red Army's "25,000-Li Li Long Long March"? Won't he choose a better place to live, work hard and develop his career? He has the spirit of "willing to endure hardship". Maybe he or his descendants could have invented tractors long ago to improve China's scientific and technological level. Maybe he or his descendants can become the "father of management" before Taylor; Perhaps he can not only stimulate GDP at that time by simply stimulating domestic demand, but also stimulate domestic capital, technology and other production factors by directly participating in production! Isn't it obvious which is better than the other? Third, ability. I just think that what can be done is what can be done and not done, and what can be done and not done! Is the revolution "impossible"? Is the Red Army's Long March "impossible"? Is the establishment of a new China "impossible"? Is "two bombs and one satellite" impossible? I dare not say! It is precisely because the people of China are hardworking, brave and full of wisdom! It is possible to change your life, but never blindly, but first make sure that there is a solid mass base! That's why! Long-term levy is ok, but don't be blind, first make sure there is only one way! That's why! The establishment of a new China is possible, but it is not blind, but takes into account the actual interests of the people of China! That's why! Two bombs and one satellite, nuclear progress, which one is not carefully selected and there is no way, so that's it! It's a pity that the foolish old man's spirit is commendable, but he "does the opposite"! The foolish old man has a purpose, but it's a pity that he chose the wrong purpose ... The foolish old man is valuable, but it can only be "the original intention is good" ... The foolish old man has contributed, but it's a pity that his merits and demerits are debatable ... So, to sum up, there will be mountains in front of your house in the future, so let's move!
The main characters are two young people. They all work in the same company and live in the same rented house. One morning, both of them overslept and woke up to find that there were only ten minutes to go to work. A young man saw that he would be late no matter how hard he hurried, so he simply called for leave and fell asleep. The other flew out of bed, put on his clothes, picked up his wallet and ran downstairs, stopped a taxi and went straight to the company. Of course, panting, he was late at last. However, the final result of this matter is quite different. It turned out that after the boss of the company knew the situation, he first deducted the bonuses of the two people equally, but soon arranged the latter to a more important position. The boss said: "it is inevitable that a person makes some mistakes, but his spirit of knowing what he can't do is commendable." Such a person will certainly make great achievements in the future. " Traditionally, people always emphasize "doing something and not doing something"; "Do what you know you can't do" is the opposite. Knowing that it is difficult to achieve the goal after doing it, it is useless to do it, but do it anyway. Mr Hu Shi is a famous figure in the history of modern literature in China. However, he first went abroad to study, entered the Agricultural College of Cornell University in the United States, and took apple planting as an elective course. Later, he found that this technology was very different from the national conditions of the people at that time, and it was useless to learn it, so he decided to transfer it. On the occasion of transfer, he remembered a sentence that Zhang Xuecheng, a great scholar in Qing Dynasty, said: "Sex is similar, do what you can." So he transferred to the school of philosophy "according to his own interests". This change has made Mr. Hu Shi. Later, Hu Shi taught in Peking University and served as the director of five departments, namely, Philosophy Department, Foreign Literature Department and China Literature Department. Facts have proved that his choice is wise. In the community, a retired worker over 70 years old is such a typical "stubborn old man". As we all know, "black advertisements" have become a chronic disease that pollutes the environment. But the old man is carrying plastic buckets and shovels every day to eradicate those small advertisements in the community, on street walls and on telephone poles. His children and many good people advised him: "These small advertisements are like rotten plasters. Can you get rid of them? " With this energy, it is better to play! "What did the old man say?" I know I can't finish shoveling, but I'm missing a shovel after all. As long as I have strength, I won't stop there. "This seems simple, but it also represents a life attitude and spirit.
