Be a "not confused" person
In his speech, Liang Qichao said that to be a "not confused" person, the first thing is to have judgment. And if you want to develop judgment, the first step is to have the corresponding common sense; second, you must have special intelligence for what you want to do; and finally, you must have the wisdom to judge things.
Liang Qichao saw very clearly that a child will eventually go to society, the knowledge of books is very important, and the knowledge of life is also very important.
But more importantly, through the learning and accumulation of knowledge, digestion and absorption, have the ability to solve problems. This ability will become the ability to benefit the child for life.
When Kang Youwei died, Liang Qichao once went to help deal with the aftermath of his mentor. He didn't think about the Kang family, and the way the children handled the problem surprised him.
These children have lost their fathers as if they had no backbone. The son is muddy, the daughter is crying and crying, and the affairs of the family are all decided by the absurd son-in-law, and there is no order at all.
In this regard, he not only sighed and said: "Our children are not vulgar, probably always rest assured." ”

Liang Qichao advocates allowing children to develop freely and enrich all kinds of knowledge, but he will often care about them and give them directions.
For example, Liang Sicheng, his father encouraged him to dabble in multidisciplinary knowledge. Therefore, Liang Sicheng can draw a good sketch, but also a famous football player, who can play piano, violin, trumpet, and piccolo. These skills will benefit him a lot in the future.
Liang Sicheng later chose architecture, because his deep art skills allowed him to easily draw architectural drawings, and his physical strength allowed him to adapt even if he waded through mountains and rivers.
After returning to China, he chose to establish the first architecture department of a Chinese university in the northeast; during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he chose to leave beijing and go south to Kunming to the Southwest United University.
It is the accumulation of comprehensive ability that allows him to maintain accurate judgment and make the right choice at key moments.

Be a "not worried" person
How can we achieve "no worries"? Liang Qichao believes that "the benevolent will not worry"!
The so-called benevolent person is to see through the universe between all things, our actions are nothing more than "just let the world move forward an inch, if you don't do it, you can't even move an inch", so you will no longer worry about one or two failures.
Therefore, it is important to establish a well-connected and robust outlook on life, broaden your mind, expand the pattern, and cultivate a positive attitude towards life.
Setbacks are the norm of life, and only a well-connected and robust outlook on life can keep children optimistic in the face of adversity and help them overcome difficulties and go further.
He said: "The journey of life is very long, and the struggle will never be in a year and a half, and we must not be disappointed and discouraged by this. ”
He encouraged children to suffer hardships, believing that "children with ambition should always go down the road of suffering." ”
Therefore, most of his students are patriots who are not afraid of hardships, and his nine children are also pioneers in various fields. These achievements are related to the masterful outlook on life he advocated.
Liang Qichao said:
"If you do a great responsibility, you will be happy; if you do a small responsibility, you will be happy."
In life, we often have to think about the grace of society, because our status is a point, and everyone has something to do. ”

Be a person who is "not afraid"
Finally, when it comes to how to be "fearless", Liang Qichao believes that only people with strong willpower can truly resist the fear in their hearts.
"If a person's willpower is weak, he has a lot of knowledge, and he will not need it temporarily; he will have a very beautiful sentiment, and he will change his mind temporarily."
Therefore, in his speech, Liang Qichao stressed that to be a person who is "not afraid", you must "do what you want from the heart and not exceed the rules", and follow free will on the basis of living frankly.
When a person's character is correct and his will is tempered to his home, he can have the bravest heart, and he will not hesitate to do anything, and he will do it when he carries it, "although thousands of people are looking forward to it."
Liang Qichao's students recalled that Liang Qichao was the most popular teacher at Tsinghua, and the classroom atmosphere was free and full. He accepts students to raise bars with him, and likes students to argue with him and discuss in debates.
He was fully engaged in class, like an impromptu performance, talking about the wonderful, dancing with his hands, sometimes covering his face, sometimes stopping, sometimes laughing wildly, sometimes sighing.
Once, when he talked about "Peach Blossom Fan", he talked about the place of devotion, and the sorrow came from it, and he cried so bitterly that he could not help himself.
He took out a hand towel to wipe his tears, and the students were also infected by his emotions, and many people have developed a strong love for Chinese literature since then.
Whether it is a student or his own children, he encourages them to choose the direction in which they are good at learning, so that they can stay away from the constraints of inferior desires and not live as marionettes.
Once, he wrote to his daughter Liang Sizhuang, who studied at McGill University in Canada, saying that modern biology is currently blank in China and suggested choosing this major.
Unexpectedly, Liang Sizhuang's interest was not in biology, and after entering this major, it was very difficult to learn and very distressed.
Knowing that his thoughts affected his daughter's choice, Liang Qichao regretted it very much and immediately wrote a letter to correct it:
"The subjects I recommend may not be in your style, you should be aware of your own decisions, and you don't have to mud down Daddy's words."
This encouraged Liang Sizhuang to adjust in time, rethink, choose library science to start over, and eventually become a famous librarian in China.
Liang Sizhuang
"Be a person who is not worried, not afraid, not confused"
This is Mr. Liang Qichao a hundred years ago
Dedicated to countless young people.
I also put this sentence today
For all the students
May you all be
"A person who is not confused in his head, not worried in his heart, and not afraid in his dreams!"
