The word "literate man" has gradually become popular in the world recently and gained great social recognition. So ... what are the more attractive characteristics of "intellectuals" compared with intellectuals? Or what elements should be added to transform intellectuals into intellectuals? Study times, the official newspaper of the Central Party School, recently published an article saying that a person can only be called a "literate person" if he has the following qualities: 1. He has higher ideals: the so-called sublime refers to these high-end intellectuals, whose minds are broader than those of ordinary scholars. When they think, they often focus on the overall situation, and their influence on society is often far-reaching and their thinking is deeper. Observing the world often pays attention to the significance of strategy. They are concerned with the overall situation rather than temporary events. They have lofty ideals rather than short-term gains and losses. They can go through ups and downs in the process of pursuing their ideals. They can be wronged because they aim high. They dare to take responsibility and do their best ... Confucius is undoubtedly recognized as a master of culture in the world. He was born in troubled times in the Spring and Autumn Period, but in order to spread his idea of "benevolence", he was determined to do so. He lived in poverty for a long time, traveled around the world, and suffered numerous cold reception, ridicule, sarcasm and setbacks, but he always endured for his ideals and ran for his ambitions. His benevolence thought, in that era of fighting against each other and the law of the jungle, was definitely far-reaching, not tactical and practical. If it is the latter, Confucius may be more easily accepted by a certain gentleman and get rich returns. Confucius is just taking the far and abandoning the near, but it highlights his value as a "cultural person" and embodies the big pattern and big mind of a cultural person. Second, the orientation is more persistent: as a scholar, most of them can keep poor, stand loneliness and even be cynical. Therefore, many scholars can win at the starting point, arm themselves with knowledge, serve the society with knowledge and reflect the value of life. It's a pity that too many intellectuals often stop and go, sometimes brilliant, but mediocre all their lives. It is often the tenacious intellectuals who can laugh at the end, and it is these talents who eventually grow into "cultural people." They persisted in advancing for truth, belief, ambition and career, and won the respect of society and the admiration of future generations. "Wang Wen was arrested and played Zhouyi, and Zhong Ni made the Spring and Autumn Period; Qu Yuan's exile is a tribute to Li Sao. Zuo Qiu is blind and has Mandarin; The foot of Sun Tzu, the revision of Sun Tzu's art of war. " Almost all the allusions mentioned by Sima Qian are familiar to intellectuals. It reveals a profound truth: perseverance is the necessary spirit to achieve greatness. Excellent cultural people are born with the belief that where there is a will, there is a way, and they have perseverance. Third, the spirit is more pioneering: whether you have the spirit and courage to innovate is one of the important signs that distinguish mediocrity from transcendental Excellence. It is not difficult to find that all intellectuals who can be called intellectuals, no matter which sector they belong to, have their pioneering side. They may be curious about things and events that they are used to, have associations, and then create new realms. Newton was triggered by the fall of an apple and discovered the law of gravity; Archimedes discovered buoyancy from the phenomenon that people naturally float in the bath ... They are characterized by profound thinking-deep thinking based on the attributes of things, expanding new thinking and creating new achievements. They may doubt and criticize the existing conclusions, create new theories, form new theories and build new systems. From the establishment of theoretical system to the discussion and contention of a certain point of view, everything is based on doubt and criticism. Even the use of some thinking skills is pioneering, even in the field of pure culture, there are always pioneering moves by leading figures. Fourth, the temperament is more open-minded: people who are narrow-minded and stubborn are difficult to achieve great things. Since ancient times, there has been a common phenomenon among intellectuals that "scholars despise each other", but real intellectuals are not intolerant and stubborn people. They have talent, aura and atmosphere. You not only love and cherish your educated, talented and cultivated peers, colleagues or descendants, but also try your best to support and sponsor them. Enlightened is a kind of tolerance, grace and character of a cultural person. Cai Yuanpei, a famous educator, advocates the spirit of "freedom of thought and inclusiveness", which is open and tolerant of differences. He hopes to be tolerant of others, dissidents and talents with different values. This is the mind and wisdom of cultural people. Petty, narcissistic, xenophobic and arrogant intellectuals are often indifferent to major events and festivals and will not achieve anything. Naturally, it is difficult to join the ranks of intellectuals. A true cultural man is not because of his high status or his profound knowledge, but because of his tolerance, tolerance and quality. Cultural people are often simple and friendly, never bluffing, and few intellectuals are lofty. This may be the reason why people admire cultural people. In short, a literate person is generally: to establish a person by virtue, to be determined to be far-sighted, to be precise, to be macroscopic and to be upright. Love needs trust, tolerance and understanding that five people cherish in life. Do as you would be done by. Perfect life, four big dreams, contentment is always happy, and a happy life is a book that benefits life. In four words, the real joy of life-enjoy ten reasons why it is harder to see others now, and let us smile in life. Only an optimistic life is interesting in itself, although it can be a little painful.
