This book has 12 1 articles, most of which are narrative theories and essays. Personally, I think this book can be divided into four parts. The first part, improving personal accomplishment is the beginning of a perfect life; The second part, aiming high is the way of heaven and earth in life; The third part, learning is a shortcut to improve ability; The fourth part, quality and morality are the foundation of settling down;
The first is "cultivation". Cultivation covers all aspects of a person's life, mainly behavior and attitude towards people and things. Personally, I think that as young people in the new era, they should speak appropriately in self-cultivation, and have a rainy attitude in Mao Mao when communicating and coordinating their work, instead of being overbearing. Self-cultivation is a long-term tempering process, which can not be achieved overnight, but can only be formed slowly. As Mr. Gao Zhanxiang said in his book: "Self-cultivation makes people serious but not withdrawn, lively but not wild, steady but not dull, enthusiastic but not frivolous, calm but not silent, kind but not blindly obedient".
The second is ambition. The so-called ambition is the ideal. What is the ideal? Ideal is the embodiment of a person's life planning, ultimate goal and maximization of life value. In the article "Ambition is the Way of Life", Mr. Gao Zhanxiang quoted the classics and expounded the importance of ambition to life. Confucianism in the history of China has made an incisive exposition on life ambition. "Self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country and leveling the world." This simple humanistic concept is not out of date for us now.
The third is learning. If you don't study, you will regress. If you don't study, you can't control your work well. If you don't study, you will be eliminated by society and become useless. Mr Gao Zhanxiang mentioned many learning attitudes and methods in his book. About the attitude of learning, The Analects of Confucius mentioned the most. Confucius said, "Stop learning." In other words, learning is a lifelong thing. Comrade Deng Xiaoping also pointed out that learning is the foundation of progress. For us personally, learning is the eternal theme of personal growth and development, and learning is the foundation of our existence. Only learning can change our destiny and create the future. The ancients also said: "reading nourishes qi and nourishes righteousness." The carrier of the achievements of human civilization is books. We should attach importance to learning, be diligent in learning and be good at learning, so as to enrich ourselves and realize our ideals.
Fourth, the tempering of moral quality. The edification and nourishment of excellent moral cultivation can be internalized into the criteria of personal value choice and value judgment, constantly enrich our spiritual world, improve our personality and moral quality, and become an important driving force for personal growth and success. Mr. Gao Zhanxiang said in an article that everyone can achieve an ideal moral realm through self-improvement. No matter how ordinary his identity, experience, setbacks and somersaults are, as long as he is strict with himself, works hard and strives hard on the road of self-improvement, he can become a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from vulgar tastes and a person who is beneficial to the people, just as Mao Zedong said.
All the above opinions come from the book "The Second Sunshine Shines Life", which is a rare and good book, very suitable for young people to read, and I feel that I have benefited a lot. I will often read this book in the future, and I hope this book can give the same inspiration to other young people.
