As long as people have perseverance, nothing is impossible
Self-examination is what Zengzi said, "I examine myself three times a day."
The first is respect for the Lord - neat and strict, Don't be afraid at all times; when nothing happens, your heart is in your heart; when there is something to do, you are focused and undivided, like the rising sun. This is the most important requirement of Confucianism. Only by having faith can you concentrate. Have faith.
The second is meditation - sit quietly for half an hour every day regardless of the time, experience the benevolence of tranquility that generates yang and return, and concentrate the mind in an upright position, like the town of a tripod.
The third is to get up early - get up at dawn and not be in love after waking up. Don't spend time in bed after waking up.
The fourth is to read without hesitation - do not read other books before finishing reading them, read here and there, just follow the outside world, and take ten pages as a guide every day.
The fifth is to read history - Twenty-three histories, ten pages a day, even if something happens, it will not stop.
The sixth day is to know his death - write down a chat every day after tea, which is divided into the door of virtue, the door of knowledge, the door of economics and the door of art. When writing a diary, you must write in regular script, and write down all the bad things you have done during the day (physical, mental, and verbal). This is about reflecting on your own mistakes.
Seventh means not forgetting everything every month - writing several poems and essays every month.
The eighth word is caution - paying attention at all times is the first priority.
The ninth is to nourish qi - qi is stored in the Dantian, and there is nothing that cannot be said to others.
The tenth is to protect yourself - strictly follow the instructions of adults, abstain from sexual intercourse, labor and diet. This is what my father asked for.
The eleventh day is calligraphy—write after breakfast. All writing and ink writing should be treated as homework. Don’t wait for tomorrow. The more accumulated it becomes, the harder it will be to clear it. He was also a famous calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. I believe in this very much.
The 12th day is not going out at night - exhausted from work, and abstaining from all means.
Twelve rules that must be fulfilled every day. The problem is that writing is different from doing. We may do less and find it difficult to persist and continue doing it in life. His perseverance is incredible throughout his whole life. One word, constant.
True introspection is not only a self-requirement, but also a way of life and a living habit.
There are three realms in life. One is self-reliance, which should be completed when you are young. Establishing values ????should be completed when you are young. The second is self-confidence, not blind arrogance, not being able to conquer the world with just "I can". The ability to control yourself after gaining rich experience. The third is introspection. If you can reach this level, your life will truly be endless and never stop. You can be clear-headed whether it is favorable or unfavorable, and you will not get carried away. Although he didn't mention quitting smoking, he crossed a hurdle in his life and since then, he quietly dealt with his previous biggest bad habit and quit it completely. This is the outcome of life, which is very meaningful.
