"Mencius" classic 8 sentences, a real guide to mind cultivation!

01. If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world.

When people are destitute, they should clean themselves and cultivate their personal morality, and when they are rich and prominent, they should benefit the people of the world.

This sentence has become the motto of Chinese intellectuals in the world for more than 2,000 years, and it is also the most powerful psychological weapon.

When they are poor and destitute, they soothe the lost heart with the lofty spirit of "being good to themselves"; when they are soaring, they point out the direction for the confused heart with the pride of "doing good to the world".

Therefore, whether it is "poor" or "reachable", this sentence is an absolutely effective psychological medicine, and it is an invincible ideological weapon and magic weapon!

02, the old and the old, and the old, the young, and the young.

I respect the elders of my own family, and I also respect the elders of other people's families; I love my own children, and I also love the children of other people's families.

This is Mencius's understanding of the "world of great harmony", and at the same time, it is also an expression of selfishness and elevation to social virtue.

It is impossible for each person and every family to exist separately from the whole, and no one can be separated from these two periods: the need for support in old age, and the need for love and love when young.

Therefore, we should do our best to love the elderly and children around us, and strive to create a harmonious social atmosphere.

With help and love, hold up a sky of love.

03. The taboo of people is to be a good teacher.

The taboo of getting along with others is to like to be someone else's teacher.

People who are good teachers and like to teach others are often self-righteous, self-righteous, and have a lofty spirit.

But know that no one likes to be preached, and they hate those who impose their views on others.

Therefore, those who are "good teachers" seem to be smart, but in fact they are stupid, and they often bring humiliation upon themselves when they seek glory.

Therefore, Mencius said that it is a taboo in life, and the wisdom in this is worth pondering.

04, the rich and noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, this is called a big husband.

In order to win over Zhang Qian and make him give up the idea of sending envoys to Yueshi, the Xiongnu Shan Yu carried out all kinds of coercion and temptation, and also married Zhang Qian to a Xiongnu woman.

However, Zhang Qian never forgot the sacred mission entrusted to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and did not waver in his will and determination to serve as the envoy of the Han Dynasty.

After staying in the Xiongnu for 13 years, they finally escaped, first went to the Yueshi tribe, and then returned to Chang'an, successfully completing their mission.

05, the gentleman does not complain about the sky, and he does not treat people.

When a gentleman fails to do something, he will not complain about God or others.

There are people in life who complain whenever they encounter difficulties, setbacks, and troubles.

To complain that God does not give you good luck and to complain that others are at fault is to not reflect on your own faults and responsibilities.

Ah Dong is nearly thirty years old, his job is unstable, and the object has not been found, but he did not find the reason from himself, but began to complain about others.

He complained that his parents were not able to arrange a job for him in the system, and that his relatives and friends did not introduce him to good jobs and good partners.

Don't you know, it's because he himself is not motivated at all, his relatives introduce him to work, he goes in to play games, or has an awkward relationship with the leader, such a person, no matter how much others help, it is useless.

Only by being a person who "does not complain about the sky and does not care about others" can we continuously improve our own quality and become a strong person in life!

06. People can't be shameless, shameless, shameless.

People can't be shameless, the kind of shame that doesn't know shame is really shameless!

When a person does something that he is ashamed of someone, he does not dare to face him, and once he sees it, he will blush.

If you have this kind of psychological reaction, it proves that the person still has a sense of shame, and he will reflect on himself and avoid making the same mistake next time.

There are also some people who used illegal means to get the first pot of gold, and he immediately changed his evil ways and returned to the society to wash away his sinful heart.

A person who has done something wrong and knows shame and thus courageously corrects his mistake is a person with a conscience.

On the other hand, if a person makes a mistake and does something that is sorry for others, he thinks he has done the right thing.

He also came up with the theory that "if people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will destroy it", and they will intensify their efforts to harm others and benefit themselves, which is the scum, and eventually the congregation will betray their relatives and leave.

07. The gentleman's keep, cultivate his heart and the world is peaceful.

The ethics of a gentleman starts from self-cultivation, and then makes the world peaceful.

Self-cultivation can lead to a family, a family can govern the country, and a country can level the world, which is a successful step for a person.

And to cultivate oneself, one must first correct one's thoughts, and then improve one's behavior.

After self-cultivation is good, and then put one's family in order and the family is in order, then the country can be stable and prosperous.

Only by working hard and dedicating to the stability and prosperity of the country can the world be peaceful in the end.

Therefore, no matter how high your ideals and how lofty your pursuits are, you must start by improving yourself.

Instead of worrying about other things before you understand it, because even if you do, you can't get it right.

08. Those who love others will always love them, and those who respect others will always respect them.

Interpretation: A person who loves others will always love him, and a person who respects others will always respect him.

What we give to the world, the world will also give us what we reciprocate, "those who love love to return, and those who are blessed are blessed".

If you love to do good deeds, be helpful, and contribute to society, then others will help you when you are in trouble.

Therefore, to benefit others is actually to benefit oneself, and the cycle of cause and effect is never false.

People's hearts are mutual, if you want to get, you have to be willing to give, if you want to be loved, you have to love first, and if you want to respect, you have to respect people.

Life is an echo, and the gift of roses has a lingering fragrance.

May we treat others with sincerity and affection, then we will be treated gently by the world!
