#What do you think the sooner you understand the better the principles of life #Some people say that success requires the persistence of "the road is long, I will go up and down and seek";
Some people say that success requires the tenacious will of "the sword blade comes out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold";
It is also said that success requires the habit of "karma is diligent and absurd, and action is destroyed by thinking and destroying with it"...
If a person wants to become a big instrument, there are many good qualities that are needed.
But I think that if a person wants to be a truly remarkable person, he must have these three "qi":
When you are young, you must have the ambition of "long winds and breaking waves, and sometimes hang on the clouds and sails to the sea"; in the course of growing up, you must also have the righteous spirit of "a little bit of grandeur, a thousand miles of fast wind" and the backbone of "rich and noble cannot be obscene, poor and lowly cannot be moved, and mighty cannot be bent".
01
Set up a lofty ambition and determine the goal of struggle!
The Ming Dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming said: "If you do not stand up, there is nothing that can be done in the world." ”
It can be seen that setting a lofty ambition early is so important to a person who wants to become a talent!
Ambition, like a beacon on the surface of the sea in the long night, gives the helmsman the right direction. Only when a person first establishes an ambition and determines the goal of struggle, the trajectory on the road ahead will not be biased.
Looking at the great figures of ancient and modern times, which is not the age of youth has set a lofty ambition!
Wang Yangming was not only a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, but also served as a soldier Shangshu and a Duchayuan Zuo Du Yushi, but also a famous philosopher in mainland history, and was considered to be a great sage who could directly follow Kong Meng.
One day when he was 12 years old, he asked his teacher a question: "What is the first thing in life?" ”
The teacher immediately replied, "Of course, like your father, you have obtained a meritorious name." ”
But Wang Yangming did not agree, he believed that the examination of merit is not the first priority of life, only to become a sage is the most important.
At that time, Wang Yangming's father had already passed the examination for the Yuan, and after listening to his son's words, he felt that he was simply whimsical, so he smiled and said: "The sages are the peak that Confucius and Mencius have worked hard to reach in their lives. ”
But Wang Yangming did not give up his ambition to "be a sage" because of his father's blows, but instead regarded this goal as his lifelong pursuit.
It was this lofty ambition that inspired him to move forward, and eventually made him a famous philosopher and praised by future generations.
The Ming Dynasty literary scholar Feng Menglong said: "Boys do not show their ambitions, and they are born with an eight-foot body." ”
In today's era of equality between men and women, born as a human being, whether male or female, should be a person with lofty ambitions and make unremitting efforts to realize their ambitions. Otherwise you will come to the world in vain to go through this suffering.
The modern poet Wang Guozhen wrote in his poem: "Since you have chosen a distant place, you will only take care of the wind and rain."
When we have determined our own goal in life, we should move forward towards this goal without distraction. No matter what happens on the way forward, we must not shake our original intention, let alone give up halfway.
Even if ill-fated people are impoverished, they cannot abandon their original ambitions. As Wang Bo said: "Poor and strong, do not fall into the ambition of Qingyun." ”
Believe that one day, after the wind and rain, you will finally see the rainbow, and you will be able to "rise with the same wind one day and soar up to ninety thousand miles."

With a magnificent and righteous qi, why be afraid of the erosion of evil qi?
Su Dongpo, a great scholar of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem: "A little haoran qi, a thousand miles fast wind." ”
Meaning: As long as a person has the greatest and most powerful aura, he can be extraordinary, straight, calm, and calm in any situation, enjoying the majesty of a thousand miles that makes people feel infinite happiness.
In ancient and modern times, all those who have become great instruments can maintain a magnificent and upright spirit throughout their lives. Or become a great figure in history, or achieve outstanding achievements.
Wang Yangming is such a model.
In 1506, the fierce-hearted courtier Liu Jinquan fell to the opposition, and some upright ministers not only failed to impeach him, but were persecuted. Some were removed from their official posts, while others were arrested and imprisoned.
Therefore, many people have chosen the attitude of Mingzhe to protect themselves. But Wang Yangming did not flinch, and in order to achieve justice, he wrote a letter to the emperor. For this reason, he was not only beaten with forty military sticks, but also imprisoned in the big prison of Jinyiwei.
Winter came, Wang Yangming had a lung attack, and it was better to live than to die in a dark and damp prison. However, in the face of the "olive branch" handed over by Liu Jin, he still did not compromise and adhered to his bottom line of being a man.
Later, Wang Yangming was exiled to the remote Guizhou Longchang, and on the way he was chased and killed by Liu Jin's minions.
But he fled for thousands of miles and was finally reborn in Guizhou Longchang Nirvana. Not only did the local residents and gentry impress, but they also meditated there and created the theory of mind.
It is precisely because Wang Yangming has a magnificent and righteous spirit that he can face many tribulations without fear and eventually become a saint admired by future generations.
Looking back at the corridors of history, those who are full of righteousness have their own thousands of autumns:
Righteousness is the heroic spirit of Wen Tianxiang's "who has not died since ancient times, and who has left Dan's heart to take care of Khan Qing";
It is Zheng Xie's indomitable "thousands of grinding blows and strong strength, Ren'er's east, west, south, and north winds";
It is Yu Qian's iron bones that "are not afraid of crushing bones and bones, and we must leave innocence in the human world"; it is Zhou Dunyi's clean self-love of "coming out of the mud without staining, and being clean and not demon".
Therefore, righteousness is not only a precious national integrity, but also includes the qualities of integrity, selflessness, nobility and purity, and strong and bravery that should be a person.
In today's society, it is righteous to walk in the official arena and not to be corrupt and bribed; to walk in the shopping mall, not to be drunk and obsessed with money is righteous; to walk in the workplace, not to conspire with each other is righteousness.
In the face of evil forces, angry eyes are righteous; it is righteous to see the strong bullying the weak, drawing swords to help each other; being in the middle of the lights, clean and self-love is righteousness!
Only by being a person with a righteous spirit can we walk steadily and stand up straight in the world!

A body of iron bones, but also a high purity wind bone!
Xu Beihong, a famous painter in modern times, said: "People must not be proud, but they must not be proud." ”
Deeply.
Backbone is not stubborn personality and stubborn behavior, but the integrity of a person with a correct outlook on life and values in the face of evil or violence.
That is to say, a person with a backbone must be a person with a magnificent and righteous spirit.
Tao Yuanming, a famous poet in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the mainland, was a man with a backbone, and his story of "not bending his waist for five buckets of rice" is believed to be familiar to everyone.
In the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the imperial court was declining day by day, and the official field was dark. Although Tao Yuanming has successively held some official positions, because he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he is equivalent to living a semi-retired life.
At the age of 41, under the persuasion of friends, he was once again appointed as the commander of Pengze County. Shortly after taking office, he happened to encounter a postmaster sent by Xunyang County to inspect official duties.
Liu Yun, the governor of Xunyang County, was a greedy and fierce guy, and wherever he inspected, he would ask the local county order for bribes. If you can't ask for it, you will be framed for stealing.
An official instructed Tao Yuanming to dress up, prepare gifts, and respectfully greet the inspector.
Tao Yuanming said, "How can I pay tribute to these little people in a low voice for the sake of the five buckets of rice?" ”
After speaking, Tao Yuanming brushed his sleeves and left, resigned and returned to his hometown. Since then, he has never set foot in the official arena.
In fact, as long as he curry favor with the overseer, he can keep the position of county commander and live a comfortable life. However, he would rather choose a hard but quiet and free pastoral life than lower his personality and erase his integrity.
Because, let him be a spineless person, he can't be at ease, let alone happy.
As Li Bai, a "poet immortal" of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem: "An can destroy the eyebrows and bend the waist of the magnates, so that I can't be happy!"
Throughout the ages, all benevolent people have been people with backbones:
Qu Yuan saw the country perish and threw himself into the river in sorrow and indignation; Sima Qian endured palace punishment and did not give up his ideals; Su Wu herded sheep in a foreign country for 19 years and did not turn his back on his homeland; Wen Tianxiang preferred not to surrender, heroic and righteous...
Bone qi can be the firmness of "rather for jade crumbling than for waquan", or it can be the purity of "the heart is high with the moon, and the ambition is clean with autumn frost".
In life, not succumbing to the evil forces is bone qi; not colluding with villains is bone qi; not relying on others, self-reliance is also bone qi.
Those who have lofty ambitions are full of awe; those who are righteous must have backbone.
You who are not willing to be mediocre, on the way forward, please use your ambition to guide the direction; use righteousness to cut through thorns; use your backbone to be proud of the wind and rain; and finally you will be able to reach the peak!
