Xie An and Wang Tanzhi were both famous courtiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and in the eyes of the people, they were equal.
On one occasion, Huan Wen, the son-in-law of Sima Shao, the Emperor of JinMing, set up a banquet and ambushed the samurai in the surrounding area.
Wang Tanzhi was very anxious and did not know where to go. When he arrived at the feast, he sat like a needle felt, and he couldn't even hold the dish.
Xie An calmly entered the table and recited aloud the poems written by Ji Kang to express his patriotism. Huan Wen saw that Xie An was calm and calm, but instead became afraid and withdrew all the samurai.
Since then, people have believed that Xie An is better than Wang Tanzhi.
As the saying goes: "In this life, in addition to life and death, it is all small things." ”
In the face of life and death, a person can still maintain a calm posture, a calm mood, and a very comfortable demeanor, indicating that he is very "fixed in his heart" and is full of an invisible force.
Wang Yangming once said: "Not moving in the breath is the supreme good." "When a person's mind is settled, things are half successful; when they do it quietly, they are more than half successful."

The concentration of the mind is because of superior ability and self-confidence.
When you encounter an ant, you will not be afraid at all, because you are fully capable of catching the ant, or pinching the ant to death.
When you meet a tiger, you will run away, even so frightened that you have lost your shoes. Because the difference in strength between you and the tiger is too great, you simply can't control the situation.
Different levels of opponents will make you feel afraid. This is the surface of the problem.
If you think deeply, you will find that what you are afraid of is because you are not capable enough to find an effective way to deal with the other party. If you are a very strong person, even if you meet a strong opponent you have never seen before, you will not panic, because you have participated in a lot of competitions and believe in your own strength.
There's a saying that goes, "Catch ducks on the shelves and shake them." ”
When a person's ability and position do not match, before they have begun to work, their hearts begin to sway, and as soon as they play, they are retreating.
Therefore, improving ability is a key factor in mental concentration and the first step.

The mind is fixed because the will is firm and not disturbed.
In ancient times, there was a man named Ye Gong who was very fond of dragons. He was on the furniture, painted with dragons, and on the roof, also carved with dragons.
When the True Dragon in heaven heard about this situation, his heart was very happy, and he decided to go down to the human world and meet Ye Gong for a while.
When the dragon stuck his head into the window, Ye Gong was stunned, and then pulled out his leg and ran.
Later generations laughed at Ye Gong, he was just a vain name, and he did not really love dragons.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was a man who learned to be rich in five cars, and he studied very seriously. At that time, the book was made of bamboo Jane, and he read "Yi" three or four times, and then repeated it to his disciples. I don't know when, the cowhide on the bamboo strip was worn off.
There is a word called "no distraction of the heart." When a person's mind is all focused on one thing, he will not notice the surrounding situation at all, and even the noisy sounds, the psychology of fear, the troubled life, and the poor life will be forgotten.
After Confucius read, he became a saint, and Ye Gong became a laughingstock because he was a good dragon, and the biggest difference between the two was whether the "will" was firm. Who is more powerful, at a glance.
Spend a lifetime doing something, even if you are not successful, you can achieve remarkable results.

The mind is fixed because there are no distractions, and there is no desire.
During the Jin Dynasty, there was an official named Zu Shishao, who was very fond of money, and he often wiped the silver in his family clean.
One day, Zu Shishao counted the money at home, and suddenly a guest came to visit. He quickly hid the box containing the money behind him, and deliberately blocked it, but his heart looked flustered, and his face was not very good-looking.
An official, who is supposed to be of high quality, is contemptuous of money. But he went against the grain, losing his dignity because of money.
Yao Silian, a historian of the early Tang Dynasty, once said: "People leave their children and grandchildren with money, and I leave their children and grandchildren with innocence." ”
If a person does not do anything wrong and has no desires or desires, then he will not care about others talking around at all, nor will he worry about someone framing him. He believed that framing required a handle, but he "didn't have any handle."
I've seen a story. There was a rich man and a man with a hundred steps to wear Yang Kung Fu to bet, first "bet a dollar", the person shot a hundred times; later it was "bet on a piece of gold", the man was full of sweat, and he could not shoot several times in a row.
When a person's heart is always thinking about money, his concentration is consumed, and it is difficult to do what he wants to do.
Whether it is for officials or starting a business to get rich, if you can't achieve your mind, you can't go further.
05
The mind is fixed because it sees through everything and is free to move forward and backward.
Ji Kang, a musician in the Three Kingdoms period, was framed and brought about the disaster of killing.
Before dying, he calmly played and sang, and said: "If no one wants to learn the song "Guangling San", it is really a pity." ”
Because I like music, I can put life and death aside, which is a kind of complex and a thorough understanding of life.
The worst thing is that life is over, and since you have accepted such a result, what is so terrible?
Life seems to be long, but it is just a coming and going, if you can't let go, but in the twilight of life, live very uncomfortable, every day because of fear, and passed in vain.
Truly intelligent people treat every minute as a kind of enjoyment. Anything, success or failure, is an expected result, and it is difficult to stir up waves in the heart.
06
The poet Victor Hugo said: "The vastst thing in the world is the ocean, what is wider than the ocean is the sky, and what is broader than the sky is the human mind." ”
In life, the most rare thing is not money and property, but a calm and indifferent mentality.
If you can be fixed, you can come and go freely, respond to changes with no change, and seem to be slow to act, in fact, what should be done has long been done.
Anything, seemingly unpredictable, is actually regular, people who can grasp the law, go with the flow, the camera moves, and everything can be done.
