Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times may not necessarily come from a noble family, but they must have a good family tradition, which has brought them a lot of positive power. It can be said that a good family tradition is better than thousands of prestigious schools.
Zeng Guofan is such a "legend". Although God did not give him outstanding talents, it did not stop him from succeeding. He still relied on his good family tradition and self-efforts to become a celebrity. He not only educated himself, but also cultivated his children into pillars of talent.
In real life, many people attribute their fate to poverty and opportunities. Although it is undeniable that money and status can indeed bring many "shortcuts" to people, but if a person wants to succeed, in the end The choice is still yours.
Without ideas and abilities, you may not be successful even if you have a lot of money. Zeng Guofan put forward a four-word motto for children with ordinary backgrounds. Keeping these four words in mind may allow you to rewrite the chapter of your life. 1. The motto of the word "ambition": If you have great ambitions, nothing is unattainable
Although Zeng Guofan is not like other celebrities with prominent backgrounds and talents, he still firmly believes that not only wealthy people can achieve great things. Achieve something.
Therefore, in order to motivate himself at a young age, he set the lofty ambition of "either to be a sage or a beast", and this "ambition" became the guiding light of Zeng Guofan's life.
For those children who come from ordinary backgrounds, even if your parents cannot give you a wealthy life, sufficient funds and connections, you can still make great ambitions and find a right direction for your life. . After all, if you don’t have money, you will only be poor for a while; if you don’t have ambition, you may be poor for a lifetime. 2. The motto of the word "persistence": Only perseverance can make you reach your destination
Zeng Guofan believes that all the sages at home and abroad who can achieve great things cannot do without the word "persistence", and "persistence" There are three levels. The first level: persist for ten years. The second level: consistent, all-out concentration. The third level: Accumulate over time and wait for the accumulation to be successful.
For children with ordinary backgrounds, if they want to rewrite their own chapter, they need to persist in their goals and focus more energy on one thing. Don't do "three days of fighting". Fish, dry the net in two days", otherwise nothing will be achieved in the end. 3. The word "special" motto: Concentrate your energy and capture the city
Zeng Guofan once taught his children that if China wants to surpass Western countries, it must do one thing, which is to "concentrate" and concentrate its energy. To study something.
And Zeng Guofan also had such requirements for himself. He not only concentrated on studying, but also concentrated on making friends, being dedicated in his emotions, and being dedicated in doing things.
For those children with ordinary backgrounds, if they want to make a difference, they must concentrate on doing things and not be disrupted by the distractions next to them, and don't disrupt their own thinking by other people's rumors. Only by thinking without distraction can you grasp the essence of knowledge faster. 4. The motto of "skilled": smart people are all "stupid"
Although skilled workers are "stupid", they can make perfect. In Zeng Guofan's eyes, if you want to learn any skill, If you can't achieve the word "familiar", it will definitely be difficult to achieve great things.
So for children with ordinary backgrounds, if they can achieve "practice makes perfect and keep it in mind", then acquiring wealth will be just around the corner.
So when you don’t have money, don’t be eager for quick success or belittle yourself. You must know that every gain is obtained with millions of drops of sweat, and those so-called “quick-win” skills are unreliable. . Only by accumulating over a long period of time can we wait until the day when we have accumulated a lot.
When your life truly follows these four words of motto, you will understand that when every child comes into this world, he cannot freely choose his origin, but he can indeed choose his growth, so don’t complain and do your best. , just listen to fate.
