Recently, an article about Zeng Guofan has caused a lot of discussion. The article points out that the reason why Zeng Guofan's life trajectory is unusual is that he has two major reverse quotients: self-improvement and harmony with the dust. When Zeng Guofan was training the Hunan army, he was hated by everyone because of the general of the Hunan garrison. Even his boss Bao Qibao was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, deliberately sending several ** soldiers to Zeng Guofan's mansion, and spreading the news that Zeng Guofan was going to severely punish them in the barracks, igniting the long-accumulated dissatisfaction between the two armies. The Green Battalion Army openly besieged Zeng Guofan's mansion and broke into the door, injuring several of his followers. At this critical moment, Zeng Guofan had to flee in the wilderness. This scene, when a dignified second-class officer was almost beaten by soldiers looking for teeth, you can imagine how painful and anxious Zeng Guofan was at that time. But after a few nights of reflection, Zeng Guofan made an unexpected decision - no longer to entangle and argue with Changsha officialdom, but to lead the Hunan army to Hengyang. He wants to prove his strength with practical actions and let others see his strength.
It was precisely because of this humiliation in Changsha that Zeng Guofan was frustrated and worked hard, so he was able to grit his teeth, overcome many difficulties and obstacles, and trained a Hunan army that "fought hard and fought to the death", and became a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty, extending the life of the Qing Dynasty by several decades. Self-improvement is Zeng Guofan's life creed, he often said: "The rest of your life grows in the time of frustration." ”。Worrying about it is the time to temper heroes, and we must not be discouraged in vain. He realized that gritting his teeth and self-improvement is the secret of life. Zeng Guofan was a typical angry young man in his early years, single-line thinking, cynical, exaggerated and arrogant, and he had a single means to do things.
First, the style is tough, pure and fierce, so it hits walls everywhere and is often to blame. But in the three years that he was relieved of his military power and guarded at home, he began to reflect on his way of doing things, and picked up Lao Zhuang's books recommended to him by friends. He deeply understood the truth of being with the light and the dust, which greatly improved his way of doing things. He has become more mellow, pragmatic, and more person-oriented. The realm of light and dust is a high degree of personality charm. Because he is approachable and kind to others, he is often able to get more support and trust from more people. This article has caused netizens to think deeply.
Some netizens believe that self-improvement is a very important quality, and only after experiencing setbacks can we better understand its importance. Some netizens praised Zeng Guofan's self-improvement spirit, believing that his tenacity and perseverance are worth learning from Xi. At the same time, some netizens talked about the realm of harmony with light and dust, believing that when dealing with interpersonal relationships, they should respect each other and not let their emotions and contradictions affect each other. In short, Zeng Guofan's life trajectory tells us that only by constantly striving for self-improvement and harmony can we go further and do better in the journey of life. Recently, there was an incident that attracted widespread attention. This person has hit a wall in officialdom and found that there are many flaws in his personality, temper, temperament, and style. He realized that those who acted too rigid seemed to be strong on the surface, but in fact they were strong on the outside. The real strong are often those who seem to be weak and retreat on the surface, but they can "gallop the world's softest and strongest in the world". Inspired by the words of the sage, he began to try to change and become more mellow. This kind of harmony is not in his nature, but is realized through falling again and again, born from simplicity, and compared with the worldly slick wit, its realm power is not the same.
In the end, after unremitting efforts, he became an immortal saint with virtue, meritorious service, and three words. He told us that as long as we grit the root of our teeth, strive for self-improvement, and examine self-cultivation, we will be able to make our lives better. We should not only focus on the competition, but also focus on ourselves and run forward desperately, which is the best way. We should not look for shortcuts, but should pay attention to our feet, one step at a time, which is the most efficient path. In this incident, three netizens commented on it. One of the netizens said: "This story tells us that as long as we are willing to work hard, we will be able to change ourselves and realize our self-worth." Another netizen said: "We can't just look at the surface, we have to look at people's hearts." The third netizen said: "If you want to become a strong person, you not only need external strength, but also internal energy." "The impact of this event is far-reaching. It provides us with a new way of thinking, allowing us to see our own potential and hope. We should start with ourselves, constantly explore our own potential, and pursue the path of true power.
