Appreciation and enlightenment

The tower of a thousand layers begins with the soil foundation. A person can't achieve much if he doesn't start from the most fundamental place.

Self-cultivation is the "root" of a person's life. Only when this "foundation" is consolidated can it be recognized by the society, and it is possible to advance towards the ideal goal step by step and finally realize one's life ideals and ambitions.

Self-cultivation is not only the foundation of a person's existence in the world, but also the only way for a person to grow up.

The process of young students' education is actually a process of "self-cultivation".

School rules and discipline are words and deeds tailored for everyone and the starting point of self-cultivation.

In the usual study and life, we should start from our own words and deeds, and start from bit by bit to form a habit and an instinct. We should always reflect on our own shortcomings and correct them, so as to achieve the purpose of applying what we have learned.
