What is a person's greatest capital in life
A withered character destroys everything.
Thomas Jefferson, who served as the American **, mentioned in a speech:
Even if a person is uneducated, mediocre in ability, and poor, as long as he has a noble character, he will always have a certain influence, whether he is in the workshop, in the account room, in the shopping mall, or in the officialdom. ”
In the journey of life, the most valuable wealth is not face, not money, but good quality.
Good quality is like an intangible asset, which is the most solid strength of an individual.
Moral character is the best academic performance. Bai Yansong once said: "Moral character is the highest degree, and the combination of virtue and talent is the real wisdom and real talent." ”
No matter how highly educated a person is, it is quite difficult to achieve great things without the support of moral character.
A teacher who teaches English at a private school shared her experience.
When she first entered a private school, there was a class with disorganized discipline and poor student grades.
At that time, no teacher wanted to be the homeroom teacher of this class, but she was unknowingly placed in this class by the school leaders.
It was a challenging job for her, who had just graduated, especially since the situation in this class was complex and the pressure she was under can be imagined.
However, the teacher did not choose to give up. Step by step, she improved the discipline in her class, and her efforts were not in vain. After a semester, the cohesion of the class has improved significantly, and the students' grades have gradually improved.
However, at this time, she found herself in a very delicate relationship with a female colleague who also taught English.
That female colleague graduated from 985 colleges and universities, always with a sense of superiority.
She was so jealous of her new colleagues' achievements that she was stirring up relationships between her colleagues behind her back, and even spoke ill of her classmates in front of them. In order to outperform her, the colleague even deliberately leaked the test questions before the exam.
Faced with the colleague's bad behavior, the teacher submitted his resignation report to the vice principal.
However, instead of accepting her resignation, the vice-principal summoned her to the office and said, "We cannot afford to lose a good teacher because of a person of bad character." People with bad moral character are not worthy of continuing to stay in the ranks of education. ”
Soon after, the female colleague who graduated from a prestigious school was expelled from the school.
There are many examples of this in life, and it is difficult to admire a person's lack of good moral character, no matter how highly educated they are.
Such an individual, no matter how high his education and ability, can hardly go far without the support of morality.
Character is a person's highest education, if the degree cannot be combined with good morality, the degree is just a piece of waste paper.
Kindness is the most beautiful identity card. It has been said that kindness, like flowing air, will eventually be returned to you with positive energy.
By doing good deeds and treating others with kindness, you are actually helping yourself.
Do you still remember that on July 20 last year, after Henan suffered heavy rain, Yu Yifei actively rescued the injured at the subway station?
After the disaster, Zhengzhou Metro Line 5 was forced to suspend operations, and more than 500 passengers were trapped in the carriage.
The subway staff had to manually open the door near the front of the train and begin an orderly evacuation of passengers.
People ran out of the subway cars and evacuated in the direction of the subway station along the emergency evacuation route.
Yu Yifei was one of the first people to escape from the car, and by the time he reached the ground, the water level had reached knees.
Suddenly, someone in the subway shouted for help: "Is there a doctor?".Is there a doctor?”
Yu Yifei, who had already escaped safely, quickly returned to the second floor after hearing the call for help.
Together with the people around him, he reached out in the water and managed to rescue five or six children and five or six adults.
The subway staff took out the first-aid kit, and Yu Yifei found bandages, bandaged the wounds of those injured, and knelt on the ground to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration.
Before the first responders arrived, he was already at the scene to guide everyone and successfully rescued more than a dozen people.
Between 6 p.m. and 12 p.m., Yu almost always knelt on the cold floor, performing hours of rescue breaths and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Due to the long time of kneeling on the ground for rescue, his knees have worn out, his shoes are also missing, and his feet are even scratched by glass.
It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the morning that Yu Yifei, who had exhausted his physical strength, left the rescue scene.
Yu Yifei received a master's degree in orthopaedic spine from the University of London, and the day of the disaster was his first day of pre-job training in the hospital.
Subsequently, the hospital leaders found Yu Yifei and informed him that he had been officially hired.
Some netizens described it very appropriately: kindness is a person's best business card, and he completed the most satisfactory answer sheet during the probation period with kind actions.
I firmly believe in the writer's Leng Ying's point of view that kindness and benefit to others will eventually be repaid to oneself.
If you treat the world with gentleness, the world will also reward you with spring light.
All good fortune is nothing but the accumulation of your good character.
Noble is the best pass. The poet Kitajima mentions: "Meanness is the pass of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble." ”
Jin Anqing of the Qing Dynasty, although talented, his character was quite inferior, and he was repeatedly involved in accumulating wealth.
Although the emperor heard of his talent and wanted to put him to good use, the ministers advised the emperor: "This man is not right. ”
So, the emperor repatriated him to his hometown and instructed the local ** to be closely supervised.
Jin Anqing was unwilling to fail, and successfully rescued the imprisoned Lin Zexu through his own means.
However, Lin Zexu soon discovered that Jin Anqing was cunning and dishonest, so he politely sent him away.
After Zeng Guofan's career was successful, Jin Anqing asked to meet him seven times, but Zeng Guofan refused.
Zeng Guofan explained: "This person is like a ghost, and it is better to stay away. ”
If a person's moral character is misconducted, no matter how superb his means are, they will be in vain. Overall, one's character is the best pass.
Zeng Guofan once said that only the two important tasks of self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country and leveling the world are reliable. He regarded conduct and career as the cornerstones of life.
In officialdom, he is not greedy for money and power, he is honest and fair, and he works hard.
Once, someone gave him a calligraphy work by Wang Xizhi, but he did not hesitate to return it after reading it, saying that he did not dare to accept it casually.
In the ten years of political turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty, some people were deposed and exiled for corruption, but Zeng Guofan continued to be promoted, which was inseparable from his noble character.
As a famous saying goes: "If virtue is not worthy, there will be disaster;Virtue needs to be matched to last for a long time. ”
Life is like a small boat, drifting in the torrent of life, if you want to maintain a smooth sailing, you need a strong anchor that can withstand all kinds of wind and waves.
This anchor is a person's conduct.
Only good conduct can determine the fate of life;Only good conduct can protect the happiness of life.
In the works of the poet Wang Guozhen, he wrote: "The withering of character will destroy everything." ”
Throughout life, it is essential to maintain good character.
Cultivating good character is the cornerstone of a better life.
Abraham Abraham Lincoln once said, "Character is like a tree, and reputation is like the shade of a tree." People tend to focus on the dense shade of the trees, but they often ignore that character is the foundation of the trees.
Good quality is our most valuable asset.
Thumbs up, let's work together.
