There is a saying in "Historical Records": "The peach and plum do not speak, and the next is its own." ”
The peach and plum trees, although they grow silently and silently, their flowers and fruits make the people who come to trample under the trees into a path.
People with high moral character never show off outwardly, but silently cultivate inward. If you don't seek to make great achievements, you can at least be better than your former self.
Deeply cultivate words.
In the Tao Te Ching, it is said: "Good words can be respected by the city." "The reason why others respect themselves is because they can speak and speak beautifully.
It's not difficult to speak, you can come with your mouth open, and you can say what you want. But to be able to speak, it is not easy, it needs to be thought about and constantly cultivated.
There is a story recorded in the New Language of the World.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, eleven-year-old Chen Yuanfang went to visit Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao asked: "Your father was an official in Taiqiu, and people near and far praised him, how did he govern the place?" ”
Yuan Fang said: "My father is in Taiqiu, and he uses virtue to appease the strong; Showing compassion to the weak and letting people do things with peace of mind, over time, everyone respected my father more. ”
Yuan Shao also said: "When I was a county magistrate in Ye County, I also did the same thing. I wonder if your father will learn from me, or if I will learn from your father? ”
Yuan Fang thought for a moment and replied, "Duke Zhou and Confucius were born in different eras, and although they were far apart, their behavior was so consistent. Duke Zhou did not learn from Confucius, and Confucius did not learn from Duke Zhou. Chen Yuanfang used the example of Zhou Gong and Confucius not following each other's example, and answered Yuan Shao's tricky question without humility or arrogance.
"Words, the voice of the heart. "A person's words are the concrete manifestation of his moral character and true heart. Proper words make people feel like a spring breeze, and it is easy to win the help of more people.
Deepen your speech and build on logic and thinking skills, rather than simply venting your emotions or swallowing your anger. Think carefully about everything, let go of prejudices, be reasonable, and even if you have a completely different position from the other party, you can also reap valuable growth.
Deep cultivation ability.
The Sahara Desert is a nightmare for flora and fauna due to its year-round rainless climate and harsh climate. However, in the depths of the desert, there is a poplar forest that grows on its own and stands proudly.
The reason why these poplars can grow in adversity and stretch upwards is because they grow downwards first, sucking water and strengthening their roots.
The downward growth of Populus euphratica and the deep cultivation inward are undoubtedly a kind of tenacity and wisdom.
In fact, being a man should also be like Populus euphratica, although he can't control the rolling wind and sand, but he can hold the living posture in his own hands. You know, no one is born with their own light, and behind all the achievements, there is ascetic-like self-discipline and self-victory.
Liu Guo of the Song Dynasty said: "Mechanics is like hard ploughing, and diligence and laziness know itself." "Learning is like farming in a farmer's field, whether you work hard or not, whether you are diligent or lazy, only you know best in your heart.
In "Warning Shixian Wen", it is said: "The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." "Sharpened repeatedly, the sword will be sharpened; In the cold winter, the plum blossoms will be fragrant. Do not pursue the so-called "shortcut", kung fu to the home, quantity into qualitative change, all kinds of problems will be solved with the positive cycle.
Many things may not have immediate results when you do them, but finding the right direction and persevering will always see hope. There is no overnight success in this world, only persistence over time. Behind every success, there must be a down-to-earth deep cultivation.
Deeply cultivate the state of mind.
Liang Shiqiu once said: "If the heart is clear, there is no way to be happy." "In life, everyone will inevitably encounter difficulties and setbacks, and if they experience more, they will find that if they are negative, they will have no end, and they will only let themselves fall into the quagmire of darkness.
Only by staying optimistic, knowing how to be relieved, and learning to be calm, can we get out of the trough and turn all the blows and pains into nutrients for life.
Writer Cai Lan once told about one of his experiences. After graduating from college, he couldn't find a job. During that time, he lived in a modest low-rent house, living on welfare payments every day. But Cai Lan is happy all day long, and his mind is focused on writing. A few years later, he published several best-selling books in quick succession and became popular in one fell swoop.
Years later, in an interview, a reporter asked him how he got into the path of a writer. He smiled and said, "I can struggle to succeed because I always laugh at life." ”
In the adult world, ups and downs are the norm. If you want to get out of adversity, you must not only be content and happy, but also learn to remain calm and face setbacks and tribulations calmly.
Stay optimistic when encountering the ups and downs of life; In the face of the profits and losses of fate, learn to be content.
Deeply cultivate a normal heart, no matter how big the wind and rain are, we can live a lifetime.
In the Tao Te Ching, it is said: "The big husband is thick, not thin; In fact, it is not in its prime. "In the world of life, as a big husband, you must stand up with generosity and refuse to be shallow; It is necessary to establish people with simplicity and reject flashiness. It is true that if you want to be thick and practical, you must continue to cultivate yourself, and always remove its thinness and brilliance.
Don't ask about the harvest, but ask about the hard work.
Deeply cultivate words and be kind to others; Deep cultivation ability, pragmatic and hard-working; Deeply cultivate the state of mind, so as to be humble and quiet.
May you and I have the great wisdom of "deep cultivation of ourselves" to draw a better life.
