Everyone may experience a period of adversity in his life. At this time, his body and mind are still blocked in the cold winter, seeing everything dying and shivering, and I don't know where the end is. When such a situation is frightening, but it is not timely for human beings, all we can do is to bite the bullet and accept it, and fight against bad luck with hard body and firm will; What we can do is to deeply reflect on ourselves, try to find out the reasons for the fiasco, and restart Spring Festival travel rush with the word "regret".
After reading Zeng Guofan's letter, I have the deepest memory of "Spring in Winter" proposed by Zeng Guofan's predecessors. Liang Qichao once commented that Zeng Guofan was the most "stupid" among all the sages of his time, and he was "in the middle of his life". However, it is such a "clumsy" person who founded the Xiang Army and wiped out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in years of adversity. Initiated the Westernization Movement and became the pioneer of China's modernization. The amazing achievements made by Zeng Guofan's predecessors in ancient and modern times are not unrelated to their hardships and self-criticism?
"Where there is a will, there is a way, cross the rubicon, 120 Qin Guan will eventually return to Chu; Those who work hard are rewarded, and they pay for their bravery. More than 3,000 armour can swallow Wu. " Countless predecessors have practiced the virtues of winter storage, leaving us with a magnificent historical picture to worship. Zeng Guofan's predecessors explained the practice of the word "regret" to us with a series of plain and true letters from home.
"No one is perfect, and gold is not enough." Zeng Guofan's predecessors in his youth were also at a disadvantage. However, when the preface pointed out its shortcoming of "digging more wells than springs", Zeng Guofan's predecessors took it as a warning and vowed not to do it again. Throughout the present, the education and training industry is unprecedentedly developed. It is reasonable for parents to be eager for their children to succeed, but instead of enrolling their children in various cram schools and talent classes, why not concentrate on learning a subject, instead of letting their children lose interest in three to five months or a year, why not teach them to persevere?
At present, the social and material world is developing rapidly, and peacetime has created prosperity for us. The idea of shedding one's blood is no longer the pursuit of our generation. However, the development of the material world does not seem to bring the same progress to the spiritual world. On the contrary, the spiritual world seems a little barren. The pet praise that echoed in my ears since childhood has penetrated into my heart, and I am used to lingering in dazzling technology and prosperous materials. The word frustration has gradually faded out of people's field of vision. The child who fell was crying, and his grandparents, grandparents, parents … many pairs of warm big hands surrounded him. Frequent access to various cram schools and talent classes, using time and money to shape a little genius, but inadvertently something seems to flow away from my heart; It's just a fashion to fight for the old, and the just adventure island seems to have become insignificant ... So, where will the indomitable will sprout from the perseverance advocated by "winter spring life"?
Material civilization has given us convenience in life, but spiritual cultivation cannot be abandoned because of it. In the process of learning, when we encounter problems, we need our children to think hard and practice hard, instead of seeking outside help immediately; At work, when encountering bottlenecks, you need to think patiently, actively study and seek breakthroughs, instead of jumping ship at will; In life, unpleasant things happen from time to time and cannot be eradicated. What we can do is always reflect on ourselves, endure persistent troubles with perseverance, and perhaps find that life has a different taste.
With the virtue of nature in winter and the opportunity of "regret" in spring, more unexpected things may occur in life.
