Big and small things, difficult and urgent things, have experienced countless times in my life.

to live a good life, we should remember three things: being able to resist things, causing less trouble and not being afraid of things.

being able to resist things is boldness of vision, which is what Mencius said, "although thousands of people will go there."

it is prudent to make less trouble, which is what Confucius said: "Don't cite people with words, don't waste words with people".

Fear of things is courage, which is what Zhuangzi said: "If you know the poor, you will have a life. If you know it sometimes, you will not be afraid of great difficulties.".

What is a burden? It's the bright moon in the mountains, bamboo sticks and sandals, and it's hard to give up.

the writer Yu Hua once said, "among the younger generation in China, there are many outstanding people, but few of them can handle things.".

As the old saying goes, "Heaven will be a great man to Sri Lanka, so we must first suffer from his will ..." Difficulties are the first step of growth, and it is a difficult process from cocoon to butterfly, but no one can avoid this process.

Someone once said that setbacks are a good opportunity to temper virtue. The more difficult the moment, the more you have to hold on, and you will win. Zuo Zongtang failed many times in the scientific examination. Facing the cynicism of others, he did not feel depressed at all, but started a new stove to re-plan his life.

Difficulties in life are nothing. Think about them. There are people who are more difficult and bitter than you. To be a man, you should not only learn to look up, but also learn to look down.

adversity is easy to break through, but prosperity is hard to keep. Being able to carry things not only means forging ahead in difficulties, but also means keeping your heart in achievements.

Fan Zhongyan once said, "Don't be proud of your achievements, don't be complacent, and don't be confused by your achievements and go astray.".

There are always many forked paths in the road of life. If you are not careful, you may go wrong. When you make achievements, you might as well look up and see people who are better than yourself, and see the gap to calm your restless heart.

There's an old saying in China, "It's unforgivable to do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do it yourself." What you're afraid of is finding someone else.

the key to success in life lies in keeping one's duty. Only by doing things separately can you live a safe life.

Do your duty, do things within your ability, don't do things you shouldn't do, and don't say things you shouldn't say. Everyone has everyone's duty. Don't rashly reach out to others' range. Life is alive, and you should be bound by rules. A gentleman should do something different and don't do anything against morality and law.

words and deeds are the key to avoiding trouble. Only by managing your words and deeds can you stay away from right and wrong.

Watch your mouth, watch your hands, listen with your ears and see with your eyes. Speak with your heart, don't talk casually, and don't make promises to others at will. What you think is "a casual sentence" may be taken seriously by others.

make less trouble and distinguish the objects of the occasion. Many people always get into trouble because of unintentional words and deeds. The reason is that they don't distinguish between the object and the occasion. You can tell your friends a lot of things, but you can't tell your superiors. You can talk about many jokes in private, but you can't take them to public occasions.

Before you speak or do something, think about whether it is appropriate for you to do so, and put yourself in other people's shoes to see if others will be happy. Think twice before you act carefully, and you will never get into trouble.

Zuo Zongtang often speaks unkindly to people, which makes people embarrassed, which also makes him offend many people. Zeng Guofan once said in a letter with a friend that Zuo Zongtang "was constrained by something, abused many words, had the desire to spend the New Year in Wang Xiaoer, and never spoke". Hu Linyi also pointed out this shortcoming to him. Zuo Zongtang himself said that "it is a warning for Zong Zongtang to discuss things too closely and discuss things too much, and it is right to the point".

There is a saying in "The Dragon Slayer with Eternal Reliance": "He is strong by others, and the breeze blows the hills; He let him cross, and the moon shines on the river. "

Many times we lose not to difficulties, but to ourselves.

Difficulties are like springs. If you are weak, they will be strong. Many times, difficulties are far from what you think, and scaring yourself is the stupidest behavior.

Just like a song that says, "I'm not afraid of thousands of people blocking me, but I'm afraid of surrendering myself", in the face of the complicated trivial things in life, I should calm down and cheer myself up.

"Man can conquer nature", and nothing can crush us. Even if life is like chicken feathers, we can pick them up, smooth them and tie them into a feather duster.

Don't be afraid when things happen, but have the confidence and momentum to give up others. Believe that you are the best and you can do your best. Only when you believe in yourself can God surprise you.

Zuo Zongtang has never been afraid in his life. No matter what kind of unpleasant times, he always has an upward heart, and it is this courage that makes him gain a wonderful life.

Rufengjun said:

Life is a process of believing in beauty-beauty comes true. Destiny is never in God's pocket, but in your own hands. Being able to carry things, make less trouble, be not afraid of things, keep your mouth shut, keep your heart and keep your body in order to become a man of indomitable spirit.
