Lu Jiuyuan: It is the most difficult to stand on your own, and you must look up and see through the customs

"It is the most difficult for a person to stand on his own in the future, and if a person resists the customs, he must look up and see through the customs." If so, what can this little incorruptible song do? Must also be a man of great skill. (Southern Song Dynasty) Lu Jiuyuan", "Quotations"

In the view of Lu Jiuyuan, the great Confucian of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is the most difficult thing for a person to stand on his own, because he needs to resist all kinds of difficult customs with his own strength, and he must have a lofty mind and vision to see through these! Of course, only the hero Haojie can do this (that is, self-reliance), and it is difficult for a person who is honest and cautious in small things to do.

If you think about it carefully, it is true that if a person wants to be self-reliant and self-reliant, he really needs a lofty mind and vision, see through difficult customs, and then he can truly stand on his own feet. If you encounter some hardships or the verbal criticism of others, you will shrink back and talk about self-reliance. After all, Lao Tzu said, "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise." The winner is strong, and the self-victor is strong." I hope everyone can do this: self-reliance and self-reliance!
