Zeng Guofan: Walking Steadily and Living Naturally
If people experience things after death and are written into a book, what do you think your life would be printed as?
At birth, we are like a blank sheet of paper, and the long life ahead of us is the process of filling the blank paper.
Some people still appear pale even after half a lifetime;
Only a few people really come into being in society, they are colorful.
However, no matter what kind of life process it is, we must take concrete steps forward, that is the true meaning of life.
01
Do things with a sense of propriety, and trust in heaven, and be cautious every day.
We often hear people around us say, 'This society is too cruel.'
Busy and hectic, mediocre and unremarkable, some people are too smooth, and some people are always in a fog
Many people can maintain a calm heart, but many people cannot keep a calm heart.
In a materialistic society, what is talked about in the mouth is not as beautiful as a dream, the ideal is far away
Instead, it is whether you have a house, whether you have a car, whether you have money?
Even among children, from comparing family fortunes to being praised by teachers today, children cannot escape the 'comparison' destiny.
This society, comparing the poor and the rich, the rich and officials, endless comparison, hard to fill the desire
Some people say that those who can be calm and are because they have nothing to do with it;
Even worse, the so-called 'calmness' is actually one's own laziness.
Not caring, not being concerned, this is calmness.
Actually, it's not like that.
He's talking about the ability to calmly endure hardship and seek knowledge in adverse and difficult circumstances.
That is, when you feel that the life under your feet is covered in a layer of shadow, you grit your teeth and persevere, that's being calm and.
02
Can be calm and, then there is a certain measure of true scholarship.

At the age of five, below the chest, she completely lost sensation, and could not self-care
Doctors unanimously believe that patients with high-degree paralysis like this will generally not live beyond 27 years old
Under the threat of death, Zhang Haidi realized that her life might not be long, she was sad that she didn't have more time to work, and she cherished every second of her life by diligent learning and working to extend her life
She wrote in her diary:
'I cannot live a life of idleness; life must be learned, and it must do something for the masses.'
Since it's a shooting star, you must leave your light for the benefit of mankind, and dedicate everything to the people.
The disease and illness did not defeat this girl, but made her stronger
Just like rushing currents, going against the current is like a fish leaping into a dragon's gate and winning success;
If you are scattered by the rapids, you will fade into obscurity and history.
Zhang Haidi can endure the hardship of being calm and, and she pursues knowledge and saves people; Sima Qian can endure hardship and write the 'Records of the Grand Historian'; Emperor Qianlong could endure setbacks and taste the sweetness of early victory.
These people all achieved themselves through the trials and tribulations given by fate.
And we are all the same, we can be calm and, and constantly take our steps forward, and the direction of our struggle will eventually make a splash.
Never tell yourself 'it's no use, give up.'
Our biggest enemy is always ourselves.
No matter how bitter it is now, we must swallow our tears and bravely move forward.
