I often read books and feel that I have gained a lot. " Then Lumeng began to study.

" Then Lu Su visited Monroe's mother, became friends with Monroe, and then left.

People were in the palace and could not hold books in person, so they ordered others to read them to me. The way of father and son, the way of education by decree, are all in the book.

When people ask questions, they should not only listen to the teacher's arguments, but also understand their learning methods. We should not only understand the method, but also practice what the teacher teaches us. Among them, asking teachers and discussing with friends is the most practical thing for students. This is because learning is to learn the truth of being a man, and asking questions is to find out the problems in learning. As a person, you can't help but study, and you can't help but ask questions.

This is how people with moral cultivation exercise themselves. They perfect themselves through meditation and introspection, and cultivate their noble character through thrift and saving money. Unknown heart

Lack of desire can't make your ambition clear and firm. Without a stable and quiet environment, you can't realize your lofty ideal and study hard for a long time. To learn true knowledge, we must study and discuss it peacefully, and human talents are accumulated from continuous learning; If you don't study hard, you can't grow and develop your talents; If you don't have firm will, you can't succeed in your studies. Indulgence and negative neglect can't cheer up the mind;

Zhi Tao's temperament can't make moral integrity noble because of reckless adventure and impatience. If we waste it year after year, the volunteers' time will eventually become as old as dead leaves. Such people will not be used by society, but will benefit society. They will only be trapped in their poor home sadly, and it will be too late to regret it.

You Ran asked, "Will it be implemented after you hear it? Confucius said, "If you smell it, you must do it. "Gong Xihua asked Confucius:" Zhong, you asked' will it be implemented after listening', and you said' father and brother'; Ran Qiu asked' will it be implemented if you hear it', and you said' will it be implemented if you hear it'. I'm a little confused, so I dare to ask you. Confucius said: "You Ran is often timid in doing things, so I encourage him."

The ploughing post replied, "Of course I will whip that horse. Mozi asked, "Why did you whip the horse instead of the cow?"

Ceng Zi said, I heard that people who accept gifts from others will be afraid of offending the giver; People who give things to others will show arrogance to those who receive them. Then, even if the monarch gave me a fief and didn't show any arrogance to me, can I not be afraid to offend him? Confucius knew about it, and Confucius said that Zeng Shen's words were enough to preserve his integrity.

48. A good wife Huan

Bao Xuan's wife in Bohai is the daughter of Huan's family. Bao Xuan studied with Shao Jun's father. Shao Jun's father was surprised by his poverty and hard work, so he married his daughter.

I am often worried because I am afraid that I can't get proper methods to comfort and raise the people, or I am afraid that I feel proud and slack in my heart. I was happy and angry, but I didn't know I had exceeded the limit. You can tell me this situation for me, and I will take your words as the criterion. " Wei Zhi replied, "A saint is the same as an ordinary person. Sages can restrain it and prevent it from exceeding the limit. Ordinary people indulge it, and there are so many emotions of love, happiness and anger that they lose their due limits ... I hope your majesty can always restrain himself to ensure the virtue of a fair death, so that generations will always rely on you. "

Meng Zheng said: "Once you know his name, you will never forget it. It is better to be ignorant. Don't ask, what's the harm? " Everyone has his own measure. Mr Lv Mengzheng doesn't like to remember other people's mistakes. When he first took part in politics, when he went to court, a court official pointed at him in the curtain and said, "Can such a rude person take part in politics?" Meng Zheng pretended not to hear and went over. His colleague was so angry that people asked the official's name. Meng Zheng quickly stopped his colleague.

In addition, there are dragons in Yixing water and tigers in the mountains that want to eat people and harm the people. Yixing people call it "three evils", and the middle three evils are particularly severe. Someone suggested killing tigers and dragons at the beginning of the week. In fact, I hope that the three evils will compete and there will be only one left in the end. At the beginning of the week, he immediately went up the mountain to assassinate the tiger and jumped into the water to fight the dragon. Jiaozi floats or disappears in the water, drifting for dozens of miles. At the beginning of the week, I followed closely. After three days and three nights, everyone thought that Xiaolong and Zhou Chu were mutually assured destruction and took turns to celebrate. At the beginning of the week, I actually killed Xiaolong and broke my face. Hearing that the villagers thought they were dead and congratulated them, they realized that everyone regarded themselves as a scourge and had the intention of repentance. So I went to Wu, looking for Lu Ji and Lu Yun, two famous people in Dongwu at that time. At the beginning of the week, I told Lu Yun all this and said, "I want to cultivate my morality and mend my ways, but these years have been wasted, and I am afraid that I will eventually achieve nothing." Lu Yun said: "The ancients attached great importance to morality and thought that even if they understood the truth in the morning, they would be willing to die at night." Besides, there is still hope for your future, and people are afraid that you will not be determined. Why are you worried that a good reputation will not spread? "At the beginning of the week, I tried to mend my ways and finally became a loyal minister and dutiful son.

At that time, the years were not good, people didn't harvest, and thieves entered Ai Chen's house at night and hid on the beams. Chen Ya got up, tidied up his clothes, gathered his descendants, and solemnly warned them, "People have to encourage themselves. Unkind people are not necessarily bad in nature, and (bad) habits are often formed by (not paying attention to) character cultivation, so we have come to this step. The gentleman on the beam is such a person! " Frightened, the thief jumped from the beam to the ground, bowed to the ground and sincerely repented. Chen Ya told him slowly, "You don't look like a bad person. You should restrain yourself and return to the right path. However, your behavior is caused by poverty. " As a result, two pieces of silk were presented to the thief. Since then, there has been no theft in this county.

After a day or two, Xiao He came back to see Hanwang. Hanwang was angry and happy. He scolded, "Why did you run away?" Xiao He replied, "I dare not run. I am a runner. " Who are you looking for? "Xiao Yue said," Han Xin. " Hanwang also scolded: "there are dozens of officers running away, but you didn't chase them;" It is deceptive to chase Han Xin. " Xiao He said: "Those officers are easy to mess with. As for talents like Han Xin, they are second in the world. If the king only wants to be the king of Hanzhong, of course he is not needed; If you want to compete for the world, no one will discuss big plans except Han Xin. It depends on how the king plans. "

Liu Bang gave a banquet in Nangong, Luoyang, and said, "You generals, don't hide it from me. They all say this is true: what is the reason why I win the world? What is the reason why Xiang Yu lost the world? " When he stood up, the grave replied, "Your Majesty let people occupy the city and acquire land, so it has the same interests as the world to join them;" Fax is not like this. Killing people with achievements and doubting talents are the reasons for losing the world. " Liu Bang said, "You only know one aspect, but you don't know the other. (take) make suggestions in the big account and fight it out thousands of miles away. I am not as good as Sean; Pacify the country, appease the people, provide military pay, and constantly refuse to transport grain. I am not as good as Xiao He; If we unite many soldiers, we will win the battle and occupy it. I am not as good as Han Xin. These three people are all heroes, and I can use them, which is why I win the world. Xiang Yu thought of Fan Zeng and didn't use him. That's why I was caught. "
