Dazai asked Yu zigong, "What is the master and the sage?" How versatile is it? ”
Zi Gong Yue: "The heavens will be holy, and the multi-powered will also be." ”
Zi Zhi said, "Does Dazai know me?" I am a little and a, so I can despise things. There are many gentlemen, not many. ”

As the saying goes: "If you don't go through the cold of winter, you don't know the warmth of spring." It is precisely because I was born in the "cold door", so I know more about the unhappiness of "cold", and I also yearn for the happiness of "warm". As the old saying goes: "Pity the same disease, save each other with the same worry." It is precisely because I have been "cold", so once I have the conditions, I am more willing to extend a warm hand and pull the people in the "cold door" out of the "cold". And this is exactly the thought of "sage" and the act of "sage". Confucius said, "I am a little and a lowly person, so I can despise many things." Thinking back to that year, Confucius was engaged in various "despicable things" because of "lowliness", so that Confucius could better appreciate the hardships and importance of the working people's "contempt" when thinking about social issues in the future, and more able to take into account the situation and feelings of the working people in the "lowly" position, so that from the bottom of his heart, he issued a thousand-year-old theory such as "for the government to be virtuous", "benevolent people love people", "they want to stand up for others, they want to reach people", "they don't want to do to others".

You can't ask for an ocean without storms. It's not the sea, it's the quagmire.
--Bi Shumin
"Life is a journey, and for a hundred years, I have gone through nine times out of ten. Looking back on the past, I remember it vividly. More rugged than flat, suddenly deep valleys, sudden floods, fortunately rely on bridges to cross. What is the name of the bridge? Struggle. Bridge expert Mao Yisheng summed up his life in his later years. Admittedly, whose life is not a little bumpy? Whose roads have not been rough and muddy? The normalcy of life is never just shallow ripples, but also surging undercurrents and potential reefs. It is precisely these that constitute a complete and rich life; it is precisely on the bumpy road that everyone's spiritual life can continue to grow.
Writer Bi Shumin wrote: "You can't ask for an ocean without storms. It's not the sea, it's the quagmire. "The unpolished soul has no depth. However, there are always some people who, when they mention pressure, feel afraid of difficulties; when they encounter difficulties, they will only shrink back and cower. Some people are even willing to be "strawberry clans", flattening when pressed and falling when touched. In this way, it is impossible to achieve a career, not to mention, I am afraid that even the steering wheel of my life is difficult to grasp. On the contrary, only by hitting the water in the middle current can we truly understand the nature of water; we can reach the places that have not been reached by cutting thorns and thorns. As the saying goes, "There is no fire of refinement, but no one knows the essence of gold." (Excerpted from People's Daily, "The Ocean Without Storms is a Pond")
Struggle, refuse the role of comfort, the environment

This shore will always be broken, otherwise the other shore will collapse.
- Stetson
The brilliance of life is inseparable from the entanglement of grievances. There is a saying in literary writing called "ancient hostility", which means that if a writer is too smooth in his life and indulges in a comfortable life, then it will be difficult for him to create truly great works that have been passed down from generation to generation. Just like Cao Xueqin, who wrote "Dream of the Red Chamber", fell into a trap and fell, still insisted on "reading for ten years, adding and deleting five times", and finally contributed such an imperial masterpiece. It can be said that it was the great dilemma and grievance of "being born in prosperity and finally falling" before his death that finally achieved his posthumous name.
The writer Shi Tiesheng once said: "This shore will always be broken, otherwise the other shore will collapse." "It is the imperfection of the real world that calls on us to use the perfection of human nature to cast the temple on the other side." How big the world is, depends on how much you can bear the grievances; how wonderful life is, depends on how big the pattern is. (Selected from People's Daily," "Grievances, Nurturing Patterns")
Reality and ideals, sunburnt, perfect and broken
"The world is so big, I want to see it", the resignation letter in 2015, which was called "the most emotional in history", rippled in the hearts of many people and triggered discussion.

The difficulty of ambition is not to overcome others, but to overcome oneself.
- "Han Feizi Yu Lao"
Not wanting to grow up is a free choice for individuals, but more people make this choice, which may make society lose its vitality. Chen Duxiu once criticized in "Greetings to the Youth" that "retreating into the weak is not suitable for competition", so he asserted that "it is the vocation of life to move forward against all odds". Shadows and light are the wealth of life, and setbacks and hardships are an inseparable part of life. To grow in life, we must not only learn to turn around and retreat, but also learn to face and attack the strong points directly. Only in this way can we promote the progress of the times and society in the struggle of individuals.
"The difficulty of ambition is not to win others, but to win from oneself", growth is a struggle with oneself. When Mao Zedong left home at the age of 17, he rewrote a poem to his father, "The child is determined to go out of the countryside and not to return the vow of not becoming famous." Buried bones why mulberry land, life is everywhere green mountains", single-mindedly learning and the determination to be in the four directions, all in it. When the young Marx was approaching graduation and considering his future, he wrote the famous article "Considerations of Young People when Choosing a Career". Faithful throughout his life to the vows of his youth, he "chose the profession which best could work for the welfare of mankind" and never gave up even when he had no money to buy bread. Indeed, there is no experience, which is entitled to complain; there is not enough accumulation, and there is no reason to pretend to sleep. (Excerpted from People's Daily, "Growing up is a struggle with the self")
Self-struggle, real victory, determination
Use software to synthesize "my primary school student ID photo", post the "self-made college entrance examination admission card" in the circle of friends, wear a school uniform and a red scarf over "June 1"... Don't think it's all just "nostalgia". Social surveys show that "not wanting to grow up" has now become the true mentality of some young people. "Unwilling to work", "dress up and tender", "unwilling to get married", "unwilling to have children", was selected as the four major manifestations of not wanting to grow up. Such a phenomenon raises a question worth pondering: What does growth really mean?

A day without reading, no good thoughts in the chest. I don't read in January, and my eyes and ears are lost.
——[Qing] Xiao Shuyi ,"Reading Books and Seeing Works"
The process of reading is a process of self-actualization. Without reading, the world you are exposed to is as thin as paper; if you read more, your knowledge, experience, and even life experience will accumulate as the page numbers increase. "I don't read for a day, and I don't have good ideas in my chest." I don't read in January, and my eyes and ears are lost. "The change of time may be quiet, but the shaping of temperament by reading will eventually be revealed." It is in the day-to-day exposition of the group of books, we feel that "infinite distance, countless people, are related to me", realize the mystery of self-cultivation of "not moving anger, not passing", even when we are lost and disappointed or even lose all directions, we can also see that "ordinary is the only answer". (Excerpted from People's Daily, "Looking at the World Because of Reading")
