original text

Shun was born in mu, Fu Shuo was born in the middle of the building, and the glue was in fish and salt. Guan Yi I was a scholar, Sun Shuai was in the sea, and a hundred miles was in the city. Therefore, when the sky falls, people must first suffer their minds, their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and mess around. Therefore, patience has benefited them a lot.

People are unchangeable, then they can change, get stuck in their minds, think about it before acting, and express themselves with colors, sounds and metaphors. If you enter, there will be no legalist school, and if you leave, you will be invincible to foreign patients. The country will perish forever, and then you will know that you were born in sorrow and died in happiness.

Therefore, if God wants to put the heavy responsibility on a person, he must first make his mind fidgety, his bones and muscles tired, his body hungry, his body empty and weak, and his every move is unsatisfactory. Only in this way can he inspire his mind, make his temperament patient and increase his abilities that he does not have.

A person often makes mistakes in order to correct them later, and he is confused and thinking about blocking. Then he can know what he has done. The anger of others is shown on the face, and the resentment is spit in the words, so that you can know him.

A country, if there are no ministers who stick to the statutes and sages who can assist the king at home, and there are no countries with comparable strength and enough strength abroad and disasters from abroad, such a country will often go to extinction.

He who suffers hardships is a master. Mencius cited Shun Di, Fu Shuo, Jiao Wei, Guan Zhong, Sun Bin and Prissy.

The so-called "Heaven will descend to a great post, and one must first suffer from his ambition ……" has become one of the most famous chapters in Mencius, and later generations often take this as their motto to inspire countless people with lofty ideals to rise up in adversity. Its ideological basis is a supreme heroic view, a strong sense of life tragedy and lofty dedication. It is a recognition of the pain of life and a promotion of the spirit of hard struggle and victory.

This is precisely because they are in adversity, depressed, struggling and dying.

As for those who died in happiness, the fatuous kings of past dynasties died in debauchery and enjoyment, and there are countless examples.

Therefore, adversity and troubles are not necessarily bad things for a person's life. After all, life is an experience. Therefore, adversity and difficult experiences are often valuable wealth in life.

When you look back on the past, you can proudly and happily say, "Everything has happened, everything has come!" " "Is this kind of life much richer and more valuable than those that are smooth sailing without any hardships or special experiences?
