The first part: Make a first-class wish, get a second-class marriage and enjoy the next-class happiness.

Bottom line: just choose a high place to stand, sit flat and walk wide?

It means: people should be ambitious, just seek a moderate fate and live an ordinary life. Look at problems with foresight, keep a low profile and leave room for things.

Second, the truth.

Ambition is the driving force for progress. The ancients said that if you aim high, you can't do anything without ambition and goals. One should aim high and make unremitting efforts, but don't expect too much in return, and be prepared for a mediocre life.

Expect questions, but be low-key and modest. Once you have achieved something, you should be simple, leave room, be generous and tolerant, and make the road of life wider and wider. Life is not perfect, and some shortcomings are normal. People should be content and tolerant.

Third, philosophy of life.

These 24 words condensed the philosophy of life of ancient sages in China, which was "extremely bright and moderate". The so-called "give high wishes, moderate wealth, and enjoy low happiness" means having lofty aspirations, seeking only moderate wealth and living an ordinary life; "Being high above others, being equal and being lenient with others" means being far-sighted, keeping a low profile and leaving room for doing things.

Extended data

To "aim high" and "stand high" means to have lofty ideals and ambitions. If you have no will, nothing can be done in the world. Moreover, the higher a person pursues, the faster his talent and wisdom develop and the greater his contribution to society.

To "tie the knot" and "be equal" means to be down-to-earth, active and safe. If you don't do merit, you will do great things; Don't want to be famous, fame is not thick. After the climax, it is probably the trough.

Therefore, things are often defeated in a hurry, and thinking is therefore delayed. Everything is prepared, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. Full preparation is half the battle.

"Enjoy bad habits" and "be lenient with others" mean to be strict with yourself in life and leave room for doing things. If you are not satisfied, you will lose your reason; If you want to stop, you will lose your desire.

This is just as Zhuge Liang said: "Quiet to cultivate one's morality, frugal to cultivate one's morality. If you are not indifferent, you will have no ambition. If you are not quiet, you will not be far away. "
