Mencius' Ideological Thesis on Dealing with Things
1) learning and thinking

Confucius, an educator more than two thousand years ago, once said, "Learning without thinking is useless", which means that if a person only knows rote memorization, but doesn't think and digest, he will get nothing. Confucius' words are very reasonable.

The process from accepting knowledge to applying knowledge is actually a process of remembering and knowing, learning and thinking. Learning is the basis of thinking, and thinking is the supplement of learning. The two are closely linked and indispensable. Just like the human body's digestion process of food, learning without thinking is useless and swallowing dates without chewing; For example, we can't extrapolate. There is no digestion and absorption, and the knowledge you have learned cannot be turned into "doing it for yourself." Only by studying and thinking can we master what we have learned and draw inferences from others.

The combination of learning and thinking is the only way to master knowledge, which has been proved by successful cases at home and abroad. When Marxism-Leninism spread to the land of China, the producers of Marxism-Leninism, led by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, absorbed the essence of Marxism-Leninism and, in combination with the reality of China, embarked on the road of "encircling the city from the countryside" and finally created a new socialist China. Imagine, if the revolutionary ancestors did not learn to think, think and practice, but blindly copied mechanically and dogmatically, how could the China revolution succeed? Can Galileo, a great scientist in the Renaissance, make an experiment of "two iron balls touching the ground at the same time" if he didn't think independently in his research? Can mankind get rid of Aristotle's wrong theory as soon as possible? Learning and thinking, thinking and learning are the successful experiences of these great men and the source of power for human progress.

Today is the era of "knowledge surge". In less than a century, the field of knowledge has expanded many times. "My life is limited, but so is my knowledge." In the face of such a vast ocean of knowledge, it is impossible to reach the bright side by rote memorization alone. Therefore, American educational circles are trying to reform the original teaching system and strive to cultivate students' thinking ability and creative ability to adapt to tomorrow's science; Europe and Japan have followed suit, and the reform of China's education system is imminent and imperative. Tomorrow's creative talents should be cultivated from today's students. So do more: think in your study, put forward independent opinions in your thinking, and cultivate your thinking ability to wait for tomorrow's choice.

Independent thinking in learning is the successful experience of scholars and masters and the source of power for human progress. Cultivating students' ability is the hope of China's rise tomorrow.

(B) Talk about the one-sidedness of "born in sorrow and died in happiness"

Mencius said: "Born in sorrow, died in happiness." This sentence has been regarded as a warning motto for thousands of years. In fact, this sentence is extremely one-sided.

Yes, there are countless examples of "born in sorrow and died in happiness". For example, if Gou Jian, the King of Yue, had not been humiliated in Wu, how could he have lived a hard life after returning home? If you don't work hard, how can you become stronger and destroy Wu in one fell swoop? If China women's volleyball team does not suffer from cowardice in the competition with the world's top players, how can it jump up and create a miracle of "five consecutive championships"? These facts show that people can really survive and develop in hardship.

However, "born in sorrow, died in happiness" is conditional. What is this condition? That is to see if you have ideals, perseverance and spirit of struggle. As long as you have ideals, perseverance and the spirit of struggle. Then seek survival and development when encountering difficulties; Similarly, with ideals, perseverance and enterprising spirit, even in a comfortable environment, we will not go to the grave of death.

A person, who is troubled by troubles and can't get rid of the quagmire of troubles, just breaks the jar and falls passively, and doesn't fight against the bad situation, then he can't survive in troubles. Whether he is "alive" or "dead" depends on whether he does it or not. Only by "being" can we "survive", whether in trouble or happiness. "Inaction", regardless of adversity or prosperity, will inevitably lead to "death".

With the progress of the times, the people are marching towards a well-off society, fewer and fewer people are suffering, and most people are getting rich. While emphasizing "survival in difficulties", we should also talk about "development in happiness". As long as we treat "happiness" correctly and take prosperity as a broad runway for takeoff, then we can dominate "life" and "death" and grasp the key to success.

There are three factories, A, B and C, which are on the verge of closure, and the competent authorities have shown them yellow cards. A factory received a yellow card, and Qi Xin made concerted efforts to carry out enterprise reform, boldly employ talents, strengthen vertical and horizontal ties and strengthen enterprise management. As a result, the first year turned losses into profits, and the second year achieved a net profit of 654.38 million yuan. After the second factory received the yellow card, the leader resigned, and the employees went to find a way, and finally closed the door. Factory B didn't survive the hardship. Factory C is a township enterprise. The original fixed assets were only 3,000 yuan and there were 8 workers. After working for two years, its products rushed to the whole province, with an annual output value of 2 1 10,000 and 50 workers. In the fourth year, the factory has more than 0/00 employees/kloc, with an annual output value of one million yuan. Now, the products of Factory C have sold well in Asia. Factory c is getting more and more prosperous, and the good times have never stopped. It can be seen how important the word "for" is! History shows that no matter a country, a unit or a person, as long as they "act" and make unremitting efforts, they can "become weak and strong" and "become strong and strong"; If you do nothing, wait for happiness or enjoy the rest of your life, then "strong" will become "weak" and "weak" will tend to "die".

Therefore, the sentence "born in sorrow and died in happiness" is only half right, and it is not a perfect warning.

Three.

Do as you would be done by.

A rich man went to ask a philosopher why many people didn't like him after he became rich. Philosophers said: because they only see themselves and no one else after they get rich, the rich people are puzzled by this bland saying. In fact, people are often selfish. It's just that some people are selfish and others are selfish. But the world is fair, and selfish people are never welcome. The world is a whole composed of many people. We are all angels with only one wing. We can only fly by hugging, and people need respect and understanding. People live a lifetime, in fact, is to communicate with others. To be able to communicate, you must stick to what you don't want and don't show it to others.

Now many people are like the rich man in front of them. When they had some money, they were arrogant and their words changed. People like this smell like copper. He just wants to associate with people who are richer than he is, and completely forgets the sentence "extremes meet". In his eyes, others are poor, rude and don't consider other people's feelings. Such a person will suffer a big loss.

Chen Shimei just wants to get rich. He attached himself to the dragon and killed his wife and children. After all, he was talented, and he died under Lord Bao's hay cutter. Tang Huangming prized Yang Guifei, regardless of the fatigue of the people, Lingnan trotters sent litchi to Chang 'an, which eventually led to betrayal and broken mountains and rivers.

However, Emperor Taizong knew this truth well. He adopted Wei Zhi's "Ten Thoughts" and ruled the world. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people in the natural country are safe. Only in history did he have the reputation of being ruled by Guan Zhen.

Mencius advised us to explain the truth with "The History of Qi Huan's Jinwen", stating that we should be considerate of the people and make them "look up to their parents and look down on their wives". The world is in the palm of their hands and the people return like water.

Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you. Always think of others, and the world will be more peaceful. Think about those medical accidents, those disabled people, what if it was you? Think of the abused prisoners of war, the displaced and struggling refugees. What if you're one of them? Think of the monkey head and bear's paw on the table. Don't animals have the right to live? These are terrible, but this is what some people do. Their behavior will be spurned by people and will be punished one day!

Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you. Others will think for you, and sincerity can change your heart. If everyone can do this in life, the world will be more peaceful. Life is more harmonious and full of happiness.
