Why do so many young people die after becoming famous? Why do some officials die soon after being promoted? Why do some people die in car accidents shortly after their houses are built? Why?It's simply four words—'Virtue without position'. All our wealth, wisdom, and everything we have – our ancestors represented it with one word: 'Immanent Good'. Immanent Good can support all things. This is Tsinghua University's motto—'Immanent Good Supports All Things'. Immanent Good means deep and profound; Virtue means working and living according to the natural laws; Support means to bear or carry; Things mean blessings or benefits. The opposite of this is 'Virtue without position.' If you don't have virtue, and you want to enjoy too much, a BMW, a luxury villa, and every meal costs thousands of dollars— You can't bear it. What do you rely on to bear it? It's virtue that conforms to the laws of all things. For example, for a parent, a grandparent, you should often tell your children to cherish their blessings. Blessings are blessings, enjoying is enjoying. For example, I eat well, I wear well – this is a blessing. The Chinese value food and clothing; you should cherish it. People value cherishing blessings. You need to accumulate your blessings. There was once a saying: 'A gentleman loves wealth, obtaining it with virtue.' This virtue is extremely important. Some businessmen use illegal means to obtain things that don't fit in their destiny – it doesn't bring trouble and leads to imprisonment. His virtue is not commensurate with his position and blessings. If you don't have virtue and you want to enjoy too much, if you want the best, no matter what, You're taught by television, society, and parents – it's all about enjoying too much, and what will happen? 'Deviation from the Norm, Decline and Death; Virtue without position, there will be disaster.' Today's students and children are the same. They don't matter what their position is; they want the best. You don't make a penny, you want the best – who taught you?” Television teaches, society teaches, parents teach, and teachers teach. Children don't know, enjoying too much – what will happen? Our ancestors told us that this will ruin your blessings and shorten your lifespan. We older people used to say 'Ruining blessings leads to shortening lifespan,' and it's true. Everyone is an energy body. Our lifespan and blessings are energy. The love we give our children is contrary to common sense. The more you love, the more you get sick, the more you're prone to disaster, and the more easily you die young. Why are young people dying at such a young age? Why are so many young people suffering from sudden illnesses? Because their blessings and energy are consumed too quickly. Therefore, eat simply, use simply, it's truly beneficial. Only when you understand this principle can you know how to cherish and enjoy – then you can dare to enjoy. You don't think about what virtue and blessings someone has before you sit in that position or become a professor or leader… Moreover, the Confucian sage says: 'Accumulating good families will inevitably bring blessings; accumulating evil families will inevitably bring misfortunes.'
Look at others getting rich and successful, look at others becoming professors and leaders—you're envious, but have you thought about the virtue and blessings of their ancestors? Do you have it? You like to give, and your blessings increase; You like to be grateful, and your luck increases; You like to help others, and more good people come to you; You like to complain, and your troubles increase;75;You like to be content, and your happiness increases;You like to avoid problems, and your failures increase; You like to share, and you have more friends;You like to be angry, and you get sick;You like to take advantage, and you get poorer;75; 75;">
