It's very cattle!
Say quit or quit? Haven't smoked for two months?
Let's also see what Zeng Guofan said in a letter to his brothers on December 20, 1842, the twenty-second day of Daoguang.
First,
On October 21, he vowed to abstain from eating shisha forever, and now that he has not smoked for two months, he has become accustomed to it.
We know that once smoked, it is almost a lifetime, and it is difficult to quit.
(Shisha)
Zeng Guofan wanted to quit shisha, not for health, and probably didn't say this at that time;
It is not to save money, although he is relatively poor, at the end of the year has been reviewed, and borrowed a few hundred taels, but really want to smoke, never need to save. Borrowing more is that he is a Hanlin, theoretically promising, are you afraid that no one will borrow?
"At the beginning of October, he was determined to be self-reliant", he just wanted to test his perseverance.
Second
The humanities of Beijing are profound, if you don't ask for it, you don't have it, and the more you ask for it, the more you get out.
Beijing is full of talents, and if you want to make like-minded friends, as long as you look for it, you will definitely find it.
Moreover, if you find one, you can bring several, and the more you make, the more you make.
Isn't that the same as it is now?
People are divided into groups, everything has circles, you enter a certain circle, you will find that it is really opened up a new world of life.
Third,
Heroic and ambitious, there is Huang Zishou... The recent work "The Theory of Choosing Generals", a total of more than 6,000 words, is also a true wizard. Zi Shou Peng Shu began to solve the problem, and in the six years he became a university question, this talent is unique, must not be learned, do not have to be shocked. I don't want my brothers to learn from him, but I hope that they will learn from Brother Wu Shi and Brother He Shi.
Huang Pengnian, Zi Shou, a native of Guizhou.
Zeng Guofan looked at people accurately, this guy, born to be a bully, Daoguang twenty-five years, when he was 22 years old, he won the jinshi.

Brain intelligence can not be imitated, only envy and jealousy.
The only people who can learn are those who have average INTELLIGENCE but also achievers.
That is, people who rely on the efforts of the day after tomorrow to spell out.
In the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", Huang Pengnian has a biography, which reads:
Screens are left behind, forbidden officials need to ask... The envoys of Hubei Province, governor Zhang Zhidong, especially relied on him. However, it is not right to keep it right, when the treasury money is in and out, it is dirty to argue, although it is disobedient, do not care about it... Peng Nianlian is strong and determined, and is knowledgeable. As a result, it is his duty to take Tao Chengshi as the national reserve. He lectured on the lotus pond and set up an ancient hall in Wushi, and achieved great achievements.
For the official super integrity, even Zhang Zhidong's face is not sold. Like to promote backwards, build schools, buy books and donate books, that is called a generous ah...
Fourth,
When a scholar reads, the first must have ambition, the second must have knowledge, and the third must have perseverance.
Having ambition and perseverance is easy to understand, and having knowledge is the most difficult to do.
According to the meaning of Zeng Guofan:
If there is knowledge, then there is endless knowledge, and dare not be self-sufficient, such as the view of the sea of the river, like the peeping of the well frog, and the ignorant are also ignorant.
The more you read, the more you know the infinity of knowledge, and the more you understand your own smallness.
The reason why I say that having knowledge is the most difficult to do is that as a human being, the most difficult thing is to have self-knowledge, and the easiest thing is to think that you have mastered the truth.
Like myself, I always like to use the skin of human knowledge learned in textbooks to teach others.

Even with people like me, huddled together, with the tactics of the sea of people, relying on nonsense, and drowning those famous people with spit.
Asking yourself at night, you can't help but break into a cold sweat, but how did you quit the excitement that makes it difficult for people with various titles to argue?
Seeing Zeng Guofan's sentence, I also had to aspire to read more and talk less nonsense.
