Can you share your recent fun with me? Eating a luxurious dinner is a pleasure, the gold list title is a pleasure, the candle in the cave is a pleasure, winning the lottery is of course a pleasure, and so on. There are simply too many things to make yourself happy. Do you know what Mencius thought was the happiest thing? See if you have one, and how many have you experienced?

In the "Mencius Dedication Chapters and Sentences", it is mentioned that "a gentleman has three pleasures", the original sentence is: a gentleman has three pleasures, and the king does not have three pleasures. Both parents survive, brothers have no reason, and Ichiraku is also; Rising up to the sky, not bowing down to others, Erle also; To be educated by the world's talents, Sanle also.

Such a long paragraph, simply distilled is to say three happy things, namely family happiness, inner conscience, and wisdom. Let's talk about it separately.

Mencius said that "a gentleman has three pleasures", which 3 things do he refer to? One thing for ordinary people is a blessing

First of all, the first is that both parents survive, and brothers have no reason.

No matter what generation of people, the concept of family is very heavy. In the Book of Han, it is also recorded that "flesh and blood are attached, and people's wishes are also wishes." "Because having people you love and love yourself at home is the most relaxing and comfortable place for yourself.

Both parents survived, brothers had no cause. That is to say, both parents are alive and brothers are united. There is a saying before, which says, "Parents are there, brothers and sisters are relatives; Parents go, siblings are relatives", this sentence reads poignant, but very realistic. Parents are the bond of a family and the bridge that binds the feelings of siblings, and the family has a great influence on the formation of a person's character.

The second is: to be worthy of the sky and not to bow down to others.

It is clear that what Mencius was telling us was that to behave in the world, we must be worthy not only of heaven and earth, but also of our own conscience. Being a human being must be honest and have a clear conscience.

To tell the truth story, a few years ago, during a battle on the Yunnan border, the soldier Lao He used his body to explode a minefield on the hillside, and when his superiors learned about it, they wanted to give him the title of "special hero". As soon as the incident came out, many reporters came to interview this folk hero, and in the face of the reporter, Lao He said, "I didn't mean to roll thunder, I accidentally fell down, I can only roll down." After listening, the reporter said: "Now that the title of your 'special hero' has been reported, you should take the initiative to roll the thunder." But Lao He felt embarrassed and insisted that he had accidentally fallen. Later, he returned to rural Sichuan and continued to work as his farmer, but he did not regret it.

The most rare thing in life is the word "peace of mind". There is one to say one, and there is two to say two, do not tell lies for the sake of fame and fortune, live comfortably, and live with peace of mind. This is the second joyful thing in life.

Finally, the third is: to educate the talents of the world.

That extends to us now, with excellent people, with the advantage of "near the water building platform first get the month", can be the first time to contact the latest information of the industry, can expand our vision and platform, but also can make us continue to become excellent. After all, "Near Zhu Shichi".

So these are the three happiest things in his life summarized by Mencius, I don't know how many you occupy? Or what do you think is the happiest thing in life?
