In "Zhou Yi", it is said: Tianxingjian, a gentleman who strives for self-improvement.
The movement of heaven (i.e., nature) is strong and strong, and accordingly, a gentleman should work hard like heaven in the world.
In life, we must have a little enterprising mentality. It's not necessary to live like it, but it's necessary to live a steaming life.
Teenagers are easy to grow old and difficult to learn, and an inch of time is not light. A hundred years of life, a finger, if you don't work hard, you will only regret when you are old.
The wood of the embrace is born at the end of the millimeter; the platform of the nine floors begins from the tired soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. One point of hard work, one point of gain. The world is fair, and if you want to achieve something, you have to work hard enough, step by step, and finally you can reach the end.
Man is not blessed by saving himself. Life always has twists and turns, and if you lose hope and give up self-help, then no one can save him.
If you are not brave, who will be strong for you?

stop
"Zhou Yi": Kang Long, there is remorse.
A dragon that rises on the clouds, it rises to the highest, most extreme place and no longer has the uppermost position, at this time it must begin to think about the way back, otherwise it will be plagued.
Life must have the courage to "go up", but also have the mentality and wisdom of "stopping".
Humble gentleman, humble to self-shepherd. Truly wise people, on the contrary, are somewhat humble, they do not think that they are the first in the world, and they never stand on their toes.
Zhou Guoping once said that people who have a little inferiority in their hearts can go further. Because they know how to stop. In terms of mentality, they will never be complacent, and in life, they will always be humble and low-key.
Doing things in a high profile and being a low-key person is the truth.
Stopping is also a kind of wisdom. Fan Li helped to restore the country and brushed his clothes away. Zeng Guofan pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and took the initiative to dismiss the Xiang army. Both of them were highly successful, but they both died well.
The rapids retreat is great wisdom, but also great courage.
The ancients said: A gentleman hides his instruments and moves when he is ready. We must constantly adjust our actions according to the changes in timing.
There is progress in life, but there must also be retreat. Taking a step back is not to lose everything, but to gain a new life.

correct
"Zhou Yi": Ding, a gentleman with a straight position.
Orthodox condensation refers to the right position and the cohesion of strength to complete their mission.
Whether it is "up" or "stop", you must add a horizontal on it, which is "positive". This horizontal is a constraint, a bottom line, and a conscience that is born as a human being and cannot be broken.
Chinese often say, be cautious and independent. That is to say, no matter what the situation, a person must also stick to his heart and do not do things that violate his conscience. Only in this way can we be frank and honest.
Mencius said: Know without worry, and conscience also." People's conscience, people's bottom line, in fact, naturally exist in people's hearts, but because desire is obscured, many people will be lost.
In other words: if you can be content, you can keep right. How much money is earned, can it be taken away? The owners of those magnificent centuries-old mansions have long been nowhere to be found, and now the people who take the keys are all unrelated people.
Don't want too much, light tea and rice, peace of mind, is the greatest wealth. If you are frustrated and encounter injustice, don't go against your conscience, otherwise you will only regret it for life.
Dressed in fine clothes, but inwardly trembling, such a life will not be happy even if it is obtained.
If a person can have hope and enthusiasm for life, live vigorously, not discouraged, not decadent, then this life will certainly not be wasted, this is "up".
In the change of timing, being able to know the advance and retreat, being willing to give up, being humble and low-key, and not suffering from disasters, this is "stopping".
No matter what the situation, it has never wavered the bottom line, and it is "right" to live a life with a clear conscience and frankness.
If you can advance, retreat, and keep, and can do these three things, what calamities can there be in life?
