Dear parents and friends,
In the year of Gengzi that has just passed, too many things have happened - the new crown, the inner volume, the retaliatory consumption, the undercurrent between China and the United States... As a result, everyone often frowns, and occasionally the clouds open the sunrise. Therefore, the expectation of this ugly year is beyond the usual, so in this year of the ox, let's draw the best of ourselves together.
How to paint for ourselves, I think, in fact, what a person is, in the past we thought that the answers of others were objective enough, we should believe; later I understood that what a person is, in the end, it is up to us to decide. On this occasion of removing the old cloth and the new cloth, in the era of no major changes in a hundred years, everyone's self-portrait should be painted by yourself. In the Analects, the sentence "Aspiration to the Tao, according to virtue, according to benevolence, and traveling in art" is simple and meaningful, so I use this aphorism as a New Year's greeting to everyone. The Six Classics can note me, and a slight interpretation of this maxim is harmless.
"Aiming for the Tao" means that in the new year, everyone must have a goal; the goal is not big or small, it is clear. According to this, you will draw a better ideal self. How do you realize your value? Can we paint that ideal self? Of course, this era has given us countless resources, and we can also follow the light of our own. Foreign languages, law, painting, dance, we can learn as much as we want. The value of countless people is being seen and discovered, Yuan Longping, Zhong Nanshan, Zhang Guimei, ordinary soldiers in border defense, street courier brothers, they all have shining places, you will use this as a mirror to paint your ideal self. If not, ask yourself, "What else do I need to do?" Am I the way I want to be now? "The answer is in your heart.
"According to Virtue" means that for people to live in the world, there must always be a bottom line. You will paint a better reality of yourself. In the new year, cherish family, friendship, love, and cherish the people around you; I hope that you will take the people around you as a mirror to find out your own shortcomings. You may like to watch Zhou Libo's passionate remarks on the Internet that "your youth was eaten by dogs", and you may like to watch all kinds of "spits" on the forum that have no bottom line; but in real life, people always have more people in action, construction, and change, they are really landscapes, they are all bottom lines, there are people who insist. I hope that in the coming ugly year, you can find your own mirror, look at them, and draw a better self.
"Rely on benevolence, play in the arts" means that we must have love, love does not need to talk much, benevolent people love people; the new year to maintain your hobbies, can not always work, but no sustenance. You can work hard, you can work day and night, but you can't indulge in work, hobbies can adjust your work, let you work better, play ball, skiing, chess, fitness, are good, learn well!
Friends, your life is in your own hands, it is an old saying, but also the most reasonable, when you encounter setbacks, when you are confused, you must look back and ask yourself, "What kind of person do you want to become?" "We must find more "mirrors" that are suitable for us, constantly refer to them, and constantly reflect. Only in this way can you draw a good portrait of yourself.
"Honor the world of great strife, and honor this time of drinking." I hope that my words can give you some help, in this galloping era, in the new year, I hope you can draw the best of yourself.
