Most people want to change the world, but few want to reinvent themselves. Everyone wants to create dreams and strive for development, but there are always empty ideas and no good way out. In fact, personality determines fate, details determine success or failure, you need to see the opportunity in the positive, and then to grasp him, is the key to success.
Zeng Guofan, the head of the four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, loved learning very much, was good at summarizing his shortcomings, and then made up for it, and finally became a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, which influenced a lot of celebrities, and was a role model and life mentor for future generations to learn. Combined with his life, he summed up several experiences, which had a great impact on future generations.
Zeng Guofan believes that men want to become a big instrument, not rely on money and connections, remember these 6 points, less detours
The first precept: Do not do what is long-profitable, and do not go to the land of contention.
If one thing is profitable in the long term, don't do it again. You seem to be making money, everyone is rushing to do it, in fact, there is no money to earn, and then go up, you will only be cut leeks and earn your money. Everyone is scrambling to go to the place and don't go, if everyone sees the opportunity, is it still called an opportunity? Ma Yun said that only when everyone complains, it is your opportunity, because you can see that everyone can't see what they can't think of, which is worth doing.
The second precept: Do not abandon the beauty of people with small evils, and do not forget the great grace with small grievances.
Do things to learn to cooperate, do not be small, because a little thing, ignore the advantages of others. People who are not sages can be blameless, how can people not have a little problem, as long as they are not bad in principle, they are still worth interacting with, if they are nitpicking, their friends will only be less and less. Don't forget that people have been kind to you because of a little grudge, this is the way to deal with the world.
The Third Commandment: It is said that the shortness of man is the shortness of self-protection, and the praise of one's own strength is the strength of others.
Meditation often thinks about oneself, and gossips about others. When a person thinks about what deficiencies they have and needs to be improved, instead of talking nonsense to others. When a person wants to hide himself, he will blame others for no reason to show his status. Then he constantly boasted about how smart and capable he was than others, but in fact he was just jealous of others. As the saying goes, "learn to speak in three years, learn to shut up in life", medicine can not be eaten randomly, words can not be said indiscriminately, it is easy to provoke right and wrong.
The Fourth Commandment: Profit may be shared but not alone, and scheming may be scarce but not many.
When the money is used up, the friendship cannot be eaten. So other people save money, I save friendships. Money is an external thing, doing things and making friends is the most important, especially when it comes to the distribution of benefits, you must not only think of yourself, you must take more care of brotherhood, everyone will follow you. However, when making suggestions, try not to involve too many people, the timing is fleeting, be crisp and decisive.
The Fifth Commandment: All the mediocre people in the world and in the past and in the world are defeated by a lazy word, and the talented people in the world and in the past and the present are defeated by a proud word.
The only secret to success is to stick to the last minute. There are many people in the world who want to do things, but many people are too lazy, can't stick to it, and don't do it if they don't see the effect for three days when they do a project. I've never seen a man who wakes up early every day and works hard complains about the injustice of fate. The great man is great because he perseveres when others lose faith.
The Sixth Commandment: Whoever does great things, with knowledge as the mainstay and talent as the supplement, whenever great things are accomplished, man seeks to live in half, and Providence is half in the middle.
What is originally hopeless, bold attempts, can often succeed. Whoever does great things must not only have talent, but also courage. Don't be careful, be bold and try, do what others want to do but can't do. Even if it didn't work out in the end, at least a whole new path was opened. As the saying goes, "planning is in the sky", if it is really not possible, you must give up decisively, and do not waste time on meaningless things.
Zeng Guofan was the head of the four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, and the official was the Viceroy of Liangjiang, the Viceroy of Zhili, and the Scholar of Wuyingdian University, with the nickname "Wenzheng" and later known as "Zeng Wenzheng". Zeng Guofan achieved morality, meritorious service and speech in his lifetime, and was known as "the first perfect person in ancient and modern times".
Zeng Guofan recorded his life's wenzhi martial arts and ideological strategies in his own writings, leaving valuable wealth to future generations.
He wrote many articles in his lifetime, covering literature, military, politics, self-cultivation, family governance and other aspects, and many celebrities were influenced by him.
Liang Qichao revered Zeng Guofan all his life, "I call Zeng Wenzheng collection, must not fail to repeat it three times a day", he read it three times a day and carried it with him for a lifetime.
Throughout his life, Chiang Kai-shek admired, studied, and emulated Zeng Guofan, believing that Zeng Guofan's works were "a must-read for any politician."
Bai Yansong read "Zeng Guofan" in the 90s, saw the most complex human nature, and began to have a fuller understanding of human nature.
Liye did not read Zeng Guofan, and it was useless to read all the poetry books. Zeng Guofan recorded the most important and rich experience in his life in the "Complete Works of Zeng Guofan", and after reading Zeng Guofan's book, I deeply realized his profound insight into life, just like a living treasure book, fierce generation after generation to succeed. This is Zeng Guofan's greatest contribution to future generations.
I read the "Complete Works of Zeng Guofan" not only in terms of ideology and pattern, but also took a lot of detours, and produced many new views and ideas about life. Here I also recommend that you go to see the "Complete Works of Zeng Guofan", not only can you be promoted, handed over to the next generation, passed down from generation to generation, and will surely have a prosperous family business and a successful career.
