Self-improvement, kindness and morality

Self-improvement is a wise move to surpass yourself and others.

Heaven is strong, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement.

As new talents, we must keep our motto in mind. In the face of difficulties, we strive for self-improvement and persevere. In the face of achievements, we are walking on thin ice. Facing the goal, we pursue persistently and keep making progress. In the market competition, we will become wise, strong and diligent. Only by constantly striving for self-improvement and working hard can we have a bright future.

Self-improvement means giving full play to one's dynamic role, striving for progress and self-improvement. From the standpoint of learning from nature, Zhouyi puts forward that "a gentleman strives for self-improvement". The Book of Songs also says: "Make money for yourself". Confucius admired his resolute character, and he himself was a "selfless and enjoyable" person. Mencius emphasized from the opposite side: ". Self-reliance is the only way to self-reliance. As Li Xian, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, put it well: "If you drink today, you will get drunk today. Since ancient times, men should strive for self-improvement. "The spirit of self-improvement is deeply rooted in the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the Chinese nation, and it has become the spiritual driving force of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and it is also the high-spirited mental state that life should have.

Heaven is strong, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement.

The source is The Dry Elephant of Zhouyi.

Celestial bodies move vigorously, and talented people should strive for self-improvement with the movement of celestial bodies.

According to the observation of nature, the ancients found that celestial bodies operated regularly, endlessly and never stopped. So they take Tian as an example to encourage people to strive for self-improvement. The famous saying "Zhouyi" has inspired countless people with lofty ideals of the Chinese nation to fight bloody battles to resist foreign aggression and defend their homeland since ancient times. It is this sense of self-improvement that makes the great Chinese nation endless and stand tall.

The winner is strong, and the winner is strong.

Source: Chapter 33 of Laozi.

Being able to beat others is a sign of strength, but being able to beat yourself is the strong one.

I think there are many dialectics in Laozi's thought. What I'm talking about here is a life attitude, which emphasizes the importance of personal cultivation. When you meet a powerful opponent in battle and competition, first of all, don't be intimidated by the powerful momentum of the other side, but strengthen your confidence. Sun Tzu, a military strategist, famously said, "If you win well, you will be in an invincible position; if you lose well, you will be in an invincible position." He emphasized that you should first strengthen yourself, fully study the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, mobilize all favorable factors, overcome your own weaknesses and carry forward.

Don't blame others, don't be special to others.

Source: The Analects of Confucius Xianwen.

I don't hate the sky, and I don't complain.

This implies that some people often complain that they have been treated unfairly, or that others are not good to them. In fact, they should find out their own reasons first. If they don't work hard subjectively and just make excuses objectively, they can't solve the problem. In the end, you have to work hard on your own.

Heaven wants to drop people, first suffering their minds, working their bones and muscles, starving their bodies and skin, and doing whatever they want.

Source: Mencius under Gao Zi.

When God wants to give an important mission to a person, it will definitely make him mentally miserable, physically tired, hungry and emaciated, and things are always unsatisfactory.

It has been suggested that the so-called heaven here actually refers to the times. What these words emphasize is that to undertake the great mission entrusted by the times, a person often has to go through a series of hardships and setbacks before he can temper his will, increase his talents and achieve great things. Sima Qian was jailed for defending Li Ling, which was considered a great shame. He tried to commit suicide several times, but in order to write historical records, he endured humiliation and worked hard to write, and finally.

Born in sorrow and died in happiness.

Source: Mencius under Gao Zi.

The general idea can survive and develop in difficulties, but it will perish in happiness.

It is suggested that Mencius say in the first article of this sentence that "heaven will descend to a great position, and so will people." This sentence is a summary sentence, which further warns people that suffering often makes people angry, energetic and positive; However, an excessively comfortable environment, without foreign invasion and internal worries, is easy to make people comfortable with the status quo, and even leads to the ruin of the country. The rapid demise of the Sui Dynasty and the decline of the Tang Dynasty are all related to the rulers' excessive pursuit of pleasure and loss of sense of hardship.

Rummanmanqi Xiu Yuan Xi, I will search up and down.

The source is Qu Yuan's Li Sao.

Although the road is long, I will go to heaven and earth to seek the truth.

He put forward the reasons for buckling, advocated political reform and uniting with Qi to resist Qin, and was exiled twice. His long lyric poem Li Sao mainly expresses his anxiety and worry about leaving his hometown. These two poems are very famous in Li Sao, which shows Qu Yuan's spirit of assiduous pursuit of truth. In the imaginary world, the poet travels in the universe in dragon and phoenix cars, confessing to the ancient emperor, asking questions to God and pursuing tirelessly. ..

Self-cultivation and self-improvement are worthy of Yuyao.

The source is Xunzi's self-cultivation.

If you achieve self-improvement through moral cultivation, your reputation can be as good as that of ancient sages Yao and Yu.

It is pointed out that self-cultivation is an important requirement of Confucian traditional morality, which means self-improvement and strict compliance with social moral norms. Xunzi's requirements for self-cultivation are so high and specific that his words and deeds, even his clothes, diet, residence, appearance, attitude and so on. , are required to conform to the ethics. He thinks this is similar to Yao and Yu. In fact, he emphasizes that self-cultivation can be a way of self-improvement.

Whoever can defeat the strong enemy will win first.

Source: Shang Jun's Book of Painting Strategy.

A person who can defeat a powerful enemy should first be a person who can defeat himself (weakness).

This sentence is about the enemy's strategy and tactics, similar to Laozi's "self-defeat" thought. It emphasizes that people who fight against powerful enemies must first defeat themselves, that is, they must have full confidence. If they are discouraged in the face of strong enemies, they will undoubtedly fail. This idea also applies to all aspects of people's lives, that is, we must first establish firm confidence, strive to surpass ourselves and overcome our own shortcomings and deficiencies.

The old horse crouches, aiming at thousands of miles; The martyr's later years were full of courage.

The source is Cao Cao's "Although Gui Shou".

Although the swift horse is old and stays in the stable, it still has to gallop thousands of miles; A person with great ambitions will not disappear even when he is old.

It is pointed out that the growth law of people's physiological age cannot be changed, but their psychological age varies from person to person. Some people get depressed when they get old, especially after retirement. Some people are good at adapting to the environment in their later years, keeping the same passion as young people, making positive progress, finding their own position, giving full play to their role, and even starting a new career. It can be seen that as long as we constantly strive for self-improvement and know ourselves correctly, the elderly can create more brilliance.

Sang Yu, don't be late, because there are still clouds all over the sky.

The source is Liu Yuxi's "Appreciating Lotte and Singing the Old".

Don't sigh. The afterglow of the sunset shines on mulberry trees and elms, and it can shine all over the sky.

It was suggested that "Sang Yu" became synonymous with sunset and old age in ancient times because the sunset shone on mulberry trees. These are two sentences in a poem written by Liu Yuxi to his good friend Bai Juyi. When this poem was written, they were all old. Liu Yuxi said that getting old is a natural trend, but we still have to maintain an enterprising spirit. This is what we often call the "sunset red" spirit.

Nothing is easy to do in front of you, and since ancient times, men should be self-reliant.

The source used by Li Xian is "giving up".

A man should never stand on his own feet.

Suggesting parting is a sad song of life, and you are disappointed and helpless. In a farewell poem, there are naturally many feelings you want to express. The mountains and rivers are far away, the world is bumpy, the cause is difficult to achieve, and there are not many gatherings. How can all this not make people feel sad and lament! But these two poems put aside sadness and expressed heroic feelings. They inspire people: don't kill their will and lose confidence in the face of difficulties in life. Even if they have great difficulties, they should face them bravely. Only by self-reliance can they enhance their personality realm, maximize their potential and value, and make great achievements and create a wonderful life.

Life is a hero, and death is a hero.

The source is Li Qingzhao's Wujiang River.

Be an outstanding person by birth and a hero by death.

It implies that Xiang Yu was besieged by Liu Bang's army during the Chu-Han War. When Xiang Yu rushed out of the encirclement and retreated to Wujiang, someone prepared a boat to let Xiang Yu return to Jiangdong. Xiang Yu refused. He said, "I took 8,000 brothers across the river to the west, but now I'm going back alone. Even if the elders in Jiangdong still support me, how can I face them? " So Xiang Yu insisted on fighting until the last moment and committed suicide. Li Qingzhao was a famous poetess in Song Dynasty. She wrote a poem "Wujiang River", praising Xiang Yu as a failed hero and alluding to the cowardly regime in the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, people used these two poems to describe heroic spirit with lofty aspirations. The following two sentences in the poem are "I miss Xiang Yu so far and refuse to cross Jiangdong", which is the above story.
