Zi said: "The countries in the world can be equal, the lord can resign, and the white blade can be done."The mean is impossible. ”

Anyone who reads the mean for the first time will almost always be middle-of-the-roadThe word is dizzy and twisted,As a result, the golden mean has become a real empty shell truth that is difficult to justify itself.

For example, the "possible or impossible" here can actually be explained in multiple layers, all by relying on the self-understanding of the "fortune teller". The existing "thought images" of the brain are all reflections of personal past experiences, and in fact they are not only the mediocre "possible or impossible" or even all Confucian, but also the "can or cannot do" in the Analects have several meanings.

For example:Personal ability,Possible (can't) or impossible (can't). Emotionally (morally) on,Possible (can't) or impossible (can't). Legal (popular morals).Possible (can't) or impossible (can't). Personal emotional cognition,Possible (can) or impossible (can't) and so on.

Whether it is possible (can) or impossible (can't).The specific meaning depends not only on the specific historical situation of specific things, but also on the differences in personal feelings.

The Mean, Chapter 9, The Mean, is impossible, and I personally think it is the inventor of the commodity, Confucius, who denies the ability of others. Translated, it is: any country, fame (these goods) are all things that are easy to invent and manufacture, and my moderation is something that no one can create except for my Confucius.

This is a kind of self-ability to show off, and it is also a direct attack on other manufacturers (from the emperor to the ministers to the poor people), but they are all branded with the garb of "cultural thought".

In 2024, no matter how much**, the economic downturn and the life of the poor will be more difficult is already a general trend. Knowing that you can't do it, for most people, it's the courage to do your best and not care about the outcome.

For 90% of ordinary people, bravery is knowing that you are destined to lose before you start, but still do it without hesitation.

Fearlessness in the face of adversity and courage to move forward is only superficial"Courage"。True courage does not come from fearlessness, but from moving forward in fear.

The old fisherman in "The Old Man and the Sea", after 84 days of empty-handed, knew that the 85th day might still be the same, but he still chose to sail to sea. What courage that is.

Knowing the coldness of life, but still loving, it is also brave.

Not in a hurry, not in a mediocre manner. Reality will always tell us that some things will always fail if we are too hasty. So, learn to slow down and calm down. Calm, subtle, and introverted, for the contemporary people with a fast pace of life and full workload, it is often the best way to soothe the inner anxiety. The years are silent, and we are not in a hurry. In the fireworks of the world, I don't want all the days to shine, but I hope that every day will have a small harvest.

Live well and love yourself well. We are always tired of too many things that are out of reach, but we forget that the most important thing in life is the warmth of the lights and the enrichment of firewood, rice, oil and salt. The beauty of life is everywhere. May we all be diligent and idle. Don't forget to love yourself even if something bad happens, time will always give you the answer, but it won't tell you everything right away. Eat well, sleep well, and most of life's problems will be solved.

Be brave, not perfect. Don't strive for perfection, accept everything you have. Many times, what we need is not perfection, but courage. We are always afraid of hesitation, and on the other hand, we are not willing to be ordinary, because we are afraid of failure, we refuse to try, and we only stop at the promise, but we forget that the biggest regret is that we never started. If you can pick up the courage to "do what you know you can't do", you will be a winner.

Saving money is the highest level of self-discipline for adults. There is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart. Saving money is a kind of confidence, it is your ability to resist risks, and saving money can keep your future life from panic and embarrassment. No money means no ability to fight illness and accidents, and no right to entertainment and investment. Do a good job in the allocation of funds, so as not to be extravagant and wasteful. Long-term happiness in life comes from self-management and self-restraint.

Don't wait, be the giant of action. "Pretending to work hard, persistent fantasies, dreaming, verbal giants, dwarfs in action, beating yourself up before going to bed, waking up the same as before", "I always feel that I am still young, I still have a lot of time, I find all kinds of reasons to procrastinate every day, let's do it later, tomorrow, next month, next year"...These will abolish a person. You must know that those seemingly casual successes are actually premeditated for a long time, and those you think are easy to master, but they are actually prepared. In the new year, don't give yourself the opportunity to buffer and standby, take action when you want to do something, and be the master of your own actions.

Economic turmoil, global climate change, resource depletion, economic inequality, technological change, healthcare, and rapid iteration of emotional value. In 2024, we need a little courage to do what we know we can't do, try to live, not give up, and not lose faith.
