Zeng Guofan: If people can understand these six sentences at the trough, they will certainly be able to turn defeat into victory and turn things around! The First Commandment: Do not do what is long-profitable, and do not go to the land of contention The second precept: Do not abandon the great beauty with small evils, and do not forget the great grace with small grievances The third precept: Saying that the shortness of man is the shortness of protecting oneself, and praising one's own strength is the length of the jealousy of others Fourth commandment: Profit can be shared but not alone, and the plot can be widowed but not the many Fifth commandment: The mediocre people of ancient and modern times are defeated by a lazy word, and the talented people of the world and the present are defeated by a proud word The sixth precept: Whoever does great things, with knowledge as the mainstay, supplemented by talent; when great things are accomplished, people seek to live in half, and Providence is half.

As a political and military figure in the late Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan's life was full of legends but also controversial. He was not talented, but he was very principled in his dealings with people.

Zeng Guofan once left six sentences to future generations, these six sentences, also known as the "Six Precepts", were regarded as the truth by countless people.

Ma Yun has revealed the content of the "six precepts" in many speeches.

Mr. Jack Ma

<h1>The first precept: Do not do what is long-profitable, and do not go to the land of contention</h1>

There is no such thing as always profiting, and profiting all the time is often accompanied by traps; the place where everyone has been competing must be the place of right and wrong.

It can also be understood here that when everyone earns the same benefit, the interest will be greatly reduced and become a small profit, and we should not mix it up.

The first precept is to tell everyone to know how to look at things rationally, and not to blindly follow the crowd and rush to grab it.

<h1>Second precept: Do not abandon great beauty with small evils, and do not forget great kindness with small grievances </h1>

Don't forget someone else's good qualities and the great graces he has given you just because of a little mistake or a little grudge.

The implication of the second precept is not to completely deny the good of others because of a small contradiction with others.

Everything knows how to leave room for others, with a grateful heart to live in the world, life will be simple and beautiful.

<h1>The Third Commandment: It is said that the shortness of man is the shortness of self-protection, and the praise of one's own strength is the strength of others</h1>

Those who talk about others and criticize others behind people's backs are because they are at the bottom of the mountain, and those who are at the top of the mountain can only look up. ——Xue Yuying, "Secret Agent Divine Doctor Falls to the World"

Talking about the shortcomings of others is actually a manifestation of inferiority, and self-boasting is often due to vanity.

As the saying goes: "Sickness comes from the mouth, and evil comes out of the mouth", and the mouth is unobstructed, which often brings unnecessary disasters.

Only by knowing how to be cautious in words and deeds, "three provinces and one body in one day", can we walk more steadily.

<h1>The Fourth Commandment: Profit may be shared but not alone, and scheming may be scarce but not many</h1>

All the people in the village are starving to death, and your family is the richest, and your family will certainly be destroyed by the revolution. If you are very rich, you must learn to share your wealth with others. --Jack Ma

Only if you know how to share, you will not become the target of everyone; only if you know how to share, you will gain.

Whenever there is a big event, you must have ideas and opinions, and don't blindly rely on the ideas of others.

Everyone's ideas and patterns are different, and too many people involved will not only interfere with your thoughts, but also make things complicated.

<h1>The Fifth Commandment: All the mediocre people of ancient and modern times are defeated by a lazy word, and the talented people of ancient and modern times in the world are defeated by a proud word</h1>

"Mediocre people" are ordinary people, ordinary people can only achieve something by being diligent and self-reliant, and they must not blindly covet enjoyment. "All evil lazy is the head", a "lazy" word destroys all.

Talented and talented people, the starting point is higher than ordinary people, but do not be too proud, too proud will often make themselves lose their senses, lose their measure, stand higher and fall more fiercely.

<h1>The Sixth Commandment: Whenever a great deed is done, knowledge is the mainstay and talent is supplemented; where great things are accomplished, man seeks to dwell in half, and Providence dwells in the half. </h1>

To do great things, insight is more important than talent; to achieve great things, it is good to do your best, and the rest is left to Providence.

"Planning is in people, success is in heaven", many things, we should not be too demanding when we are dedicated, it is enough to let nature take its course.
