Life is not a simple stone road, it has ups and downs, but also calm, no matter what state it is, it is an experience.
How much time is like an arrow, we have never been a hairy boy who is ignorant of the world, converged on the edge and gradually matured and steady, which is calm and introverted, such as the veins in the hand, recording the ups and downs.
The so-called mature and introverted is not sleek and sophisticated, it is the cultivation and wisdom after being tempered and washed by life.
Don't be angry when something happens
Su Shi said: "When the puppet saw the humiliation, he drew his sword and stood up to fight, which is not enough to be brave." There are great brave people in the world, who come suddenly and are not surprised, and do not get angry for no reason, so that the people they hold hostage are very large, and their ambitions are far away. ”
The "brave man", as the world calls it, will not panic when encountering unexpected events. Being insulted for no reason, jumping up with a sword drawn, and coming out to fight, this cannot be considered bravery. Those who can control their emotions are broad-minded and deeply cultivated.
Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty, trained the Hunan army in Changsha in his early years. Once, there was a conflict between the soldiers under his command and the local Green Battalion Army, and a group of Green Battalion soldiers surrounded Zeng Guofan's residence with great momentum, broke into the door, and pointed at Zeng Guofan with a knife.
When the local governor heard about this, not only did he not punish the green battalion soldiers who caused the incident, but instead accused Zeng Guofan of "deserving it". In the face of humiliation, Zeng Guofan held back, he knew that provoking contradictions at this time would definitely hurt both sides.
He swallowed the "breath of Changsha" and devoted himself to training, growing the initial contingent of more than 1,000 people to more than 10,000 people, and won ten battles and ten victories in the Xiangtan Campaign, achieving the first victory since the battle against the Taiping Army. Zeng Guofan also started his new journey from then on.
Anger makes people lose their minds, and the wise do not judge the temper but the ability.
It is impossible for people to be praised all the time in this life, being at a low point is often the norm, and being criticized by others is unavoidable. Instead of fighting, it is better to fight.
"Fighting spirit is not as good as fighting spirit, and turning your face is not as good as turning over. "It's not the ability to be angry, it's the pattern to be brave after being ashamed.
Don't be surprised when things change
"Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without being frightened, and the elk was excited on the left without being able to see it for a moment. "When people have calmness, they will be atmospheric.
Xie An was a famous prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In 383 AD, Fu Jian led the Former Qin army south, wanting to destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. The two sides fought a decisive battle in the water.
The two armies on the front line faced each other, and the sound of killing shook the sky. This battle decided the life and death of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
At this time, the civil and military officials were like ants on a hot pot in a hurry, but Xie An was still unhurried to play Go with his friends. He had his own arrangements in his heart, and he knew that this battle would be nine out of ten.
Soon, good news came from the front. Xie An read the battle report, but he was still calm, and said lightly to his chess friends: big victory.
"There is calm in every big event. "The more impatient and reckless you are, the more you will be like a headless fly, chaotic and reckless.
Those who can accomplish things must be calm and calm in the face of danger. They can always judge the situation, analyze the problem, find a way, and not be surprised by the situation. Quiet first and then plan, first plan and then move.
If your heart is stable, let the wind and waves rise, and sit firmly on the fishing boat.
In case of slander, there is no defense.
As the saying goes: right and wrong are debated in suffering, and the sun and the moon are clear.
The merits and demerits of the merits and demerits are determined by themselves, and there is no need to argue endlessly.
After the age of fifty, Confucius traveled around the world, lobbying kings to accept his ideas.
When he arrived in Zheng Guo, a Zheng Guoren said to Zigong, a student of Confucius: "The man standing at the east gate has a forehead like Yao, the back of his neck like Gaotao, and his shoulders similar to Zichan, but the difference from the waist down is three inches, and he is tired like a dog that has lost its owner and wanders everywhere." ”
Zigong relayed the words of the Zheng people to Confucius.
Confucius smiled happily: "It is a trivial matter to say who I look like, but it is true to say that I am like a dog that has lost its owner and wanders everywhere!" Indeed! ”
In the face of criticism, Confucius responded happily, calmly accepting the advice of others, and never wanted to argue with slanderous voices.
Judging right and wrong is to oneself, and slandering reputation is to others. "Verbal warfare can't bring justice, and-for-tat can't stop rumors. It is more powerful than to talk endlessly, not to say a word; Compared with the baht, it is more posture to smile and pass.
Indisputable is not a compromise, but a stop loss. What we should do and want to do will not be accomplished because others approve of it, nor will we end up at the end of the road because others oppose it. It's better to spend your time arguing on something meaningful.
Dealing with the world, doing more things, and arguing less is the wisdom of light and light.
Guiguzi during the Warring States Period once left three proverbs to the world: "Don't be angry when you encounter rebellion, don't be surprised when you encounter changes, and don't argue when you slander it." ”
Facing life with a calm mentality, and dealing with the world with a smile and self-cultivation, we will also live more lightly and freely.
