1. You will never get ahead by relying on others
People are most reliable only if they turn to themselves first. If you are not strong yourself, it is useless to rely on anyone.
If you don’t stand up yourself, count on others, and rely on others, you will always be a useless person.
2. It is normal for people to be snobbish.
In fact, snobbishness is the norm in people’s interactions and interpersonal communication. It is very perverted to only care about morality and ignore snobbery. Things are valuable when they are rare, so they are absolutely valuable morally.
3. Measurement determines height
Everyone’s tolerance, knowledge, scope, and mind are different. If you want to achieve great success and great achievements, you must cultivate your own tolerance, as big as the ocean.
4. The enjoyment of loneliness
Let me tell you an experience: in the dead of night, when a person runs to the top of a mountain or in the desert, it is so peaceful that he does not know his tears. How could it flow down?
This is not sadness or love, it is an incomparable tranquility and comfort. Every part of the body is naturally opened, and the pain and troubles in my heart are gone.
It is what the ancients called "it rains at night on an empty mountain, and everything is silent". Only the sound of rain hitting the leaves in the empty mountain was heard, and nothing else. That is the enjoyment of loneliness, which cannot be bought by money.
5. Only by being ethereal can one be at ease
If a person’s thoughts and attitude are not ethereal, it is over. It is like using a cup as a boat in the water of a small pit, and it will never move. .
Only when you have a lofty and ethereal realm can you fly freely in this human world and this universe and achieve freedom.
6. Nothing lasts forever
Everyone hopes that everything good will not change. Like human emotions, we all hope that the river of love will last forever, and we hope that it will not change; we also hope that age will not change, and we will stay young forever, etc. It shows that people are always so stupid!
If we understand this truth and know that there is nothing unchanging in heaven and earth, change is of course, unchanged? There is no such thing!
7. Those who achieve great things must adapt to change
"Achievements are subject to change."
Great men in history: The first-class wise leader knows what the next step is to change, so he leads others to follow the change and always stands at the forefront of change;
The second-class leader People are subject to change. If you change, I will change, and I will change accordingly;
The third class of people is that after someone changes, he still stands still, and when someone walks by, he scolds behind him: "Ge Laozi" You changed so quickly, and you changed before I could prepare you.”
8. Discipline yourself with faith
I found that a person with ideas and beliefs will achieve absolute success! The difference is that when a person has nothing to take care of himself, it is easy for him to fail.
9. The energy of life comes from "quietness"
Where does energy come from? It comes from the static, from the void. Why do we have to sleep at night when we are so busy? Because people also need to be still, and it will not work without resting their brains.
Human life often forgets tranquility, and instead tries to consume itself with dynamics.
10. The more difficult it is, the easier it is to take it easy
Sometimes when dealing with a complex and difficult matter, I am puzzled by the solution, and suddenly my mind says that this can solve the problem. , this is the role of static.
So if you want to deal with complicated and difficult things, you must first calm down and think about nothing. The more you think about it, the more your brain spins up, all your nerves spin up, and eventually you become sick or die.
11. The real practice is to train the mind in the world of mortals
The real practice is not only in the mountains, not only in temples, but also in society. We must live in practice and practice in life.
No matter what profession you are engaged in, you must integrate your spiritual practice into your work, refine your nature in the face of realms and experiences, and refine your heart towards others.
Don’t be afraid of encountering obstacles that go against your destiny. They can temper your character, improve your level, and increase your wisdom.
12. With a good attitude, the world will be beautiful
Don’t just think about yourself in everything, think about the other person. Only when you get rid of selfishness, self-interest, and self-love can you be at ease.
How you treat others will be how others treat you. Don’t always blame others, don’t always find fault with others, look down on others, don’t always want to change others, adjust your own mentality first. , cultivate your own mind, and all situations will change according to your mind.
13. The so-called practice - correcting yourself
If you tolerate everything and tolerate everything with a broad mind, you will not have anything you can’t figure out. He is a good person who sees everything as a good thing and sees every situation as a good situation.
Being able to constantly look for your own shortcomings and constantly getting rid of your ego is practice. Otherwise, what would you be practicing?
14. Reading is to be a human being, not to make a living
Why should a person study?
The most correct answer in tradition is the four words "reading and understanding".
To be sensible, one must first understand the principles of life. If you want to ask the Chinese nation and the Chinese people, what is the purpose of education? Let us repeat it again: it is for "being a human being", not for "living".
15. Associate more with people who are good for you
Associate more with people with mature personality and reliable conduct to help you grow and be reliable in times of crisis. You can learn a lot from experience by interacting with the elderly more often.
16. Forget your own kindness, but never forget the kindness of others
"Don't think about the kindness you give, and never forget the kindness you receive." These two sentences have a profound impact on my life. They are both Buddha's The spirit of Confucianism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
When you help others and give benefits to others, you should not even remember it in your heart, but throw it away. "Receiving favor" means getting a little benefit from others, which should always be remembered.
17. Contentment is wealth
As a person, you should leave room for things. Don’t take too much of good things and advantages. If you take too much, you will get into trouble. The so-called "the one who is content is rich."
18. Be a human being according to your duty
Only when you know your duty, understand the time and situation, and obey the destiny after fulfilling your duty, can you behave like a human being.
19. Working and resting on time is a human life
The daily climate of our body changes from 11 o'clock at night to 12 o'clock in the morning the next day. It is Yang Qi; afternoon belongs to Yin Qi.
Many young people in cities today have insufficient yang energy - they wake up dizzy in the morning and have no energy at all; after taking a nap in the afternoon, their energy gradually improves; when they go out for nightlife, they become more and more energetic. Good - these people are all very Yin Qi...
This life is not called night life, it is a ghost life, with day and night reversed.
20. The best friendship
Chinese people talk about making friends. “The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.” Good friends are not fair-weather friends, and they do not come and go every day. They are usually very dull.
But this does not mean that he is indifferent. He comes when his friends encounter difficulties or are sick. Normally it doesn't matter, maybe just look at each other and say hello, but there is real enthusiasm.
21. Only by being generous can you be popular
Young people should pay attention to one thing. If they want to make a career, they should know the principle of "wealth gathers and people scatter" - money is all gone. In your pocket, there are fewer interpersonal relationships in society, and there are no "real friends";
"When money is scattered, people gather together." This is what Mengchang Jun is like. The money is scattered and solves other people's difficulties. Of course, I have no money, but I have many friends and interpersonal relationships. If I have difficulties, I have friends to help me.
22. The true meaning of life
Be strict with yourself; when blaming others for their mistakes, don’t be as serious as yourself. If you behave this way, you will be less resentful toward your superiors, colleagues, and subordinates.
On the contrary, when a social atmosphere reaches a chaotic era, it often places heavy demands on others and light demands on oneself; it is very strict on others and easy to forgive oneself.
23. Life is a fake show.
Life is like a play. The play has begun and you have to continue acting, but you have to be clear and clear. You know, you are acting...
You have to play your role well, but don't pretend to be real. In fact, the world is not our home, and all living beings are just passers-by. What is there to be attached to? Yes, there is nothing to care about, so what if you say less? What if we take a step back?
24. Swallow this breath
There is a very simple method. If you do it, it will be useful to you.
When you are about to lose your temper, do a Qigong as soon as possible. Open your mouth, exhale first, then inhale through your nose, swallow it, and then decide whether you want to lose your temper or not.
That’s so exciting! When a person is angry, he takes a breath, it is not fake.
25. Don’t have sex with good friends
Some people can be classmates, and it’s good to be friends when they are young, but if you can’t walk the same path with them, you may not be able to have sex with them. *cause. If you have a business and you think you are good friends and work together to do it, the friends often turn into enemies later on, which is really not worth it.
26. The most rare thing is to be content with the ordinary.
Some are content with ease, some are content with poverty, and some are content with being ordinary. The most difficult thing about learning is being mediocre. People who are content with being mediocre can do anything.
27. Don’t help too much
There is an old saying among Chinese country people, giving someone a bucket of rice is a benefactor, giving someone a load of rice is an enemy. He is always grateful for helping a friend and relieving him in his difficulties; but he is never satisfied with too much help.
28. Greed is harmful to the body
When you are in wealth, you will hurt yourself by not nourishing yourself. On the contrary, among the poor and the humble, "don't use profit to accumulate wealth."
When people are in poverty, they have to make money to live, but they cannot be too greedy. As the so-called "man-made money dies", excessive greed and overwork will also damage the health of the body, and Life-threatening.
29. It is easy to work hard but hard to complain
The most difficult thing is to "work without complaining". We often say that we should not complain when we do things. Experience tells us that it is easy to work hard but difficult to complain. It doesn't matter if you do more things and get tired.
Those who did great things in history were able to work hard, and even more so, they were able to tolerate the resentment of the world without regrets.
30. The more you cry out about poverty, the poorer you become.
People should not cry out about poverty. People who are called poor are very poor. When people call themselves poor, they are dissatisfied, or when they want to give money, they are reluctant to give away money and call themselves poor. As soon as he shouted like this, God gave him the magnetic field of poverty, and as a result he became poorer and poorer.
If a person wants to be rich, he must first be content. Contentment is a sign of achievement. Be content with everything, and your life will gradually become richer and richer, otherwise you will become poorer and poorer.
31. Doing things for others is doing things for yourself
Everyone thinks that if they are good for themselves, they will get better and better. As everyone knows, people who are too good for themselves often do not receive blessings and become worse and worse.
On the contrary, if you don’t do your own good, but think about doing good for others, then God will not treat you badly, and he will slowly get better.
32. Those who do not play tricks are smart
Those who have the highest sincerity are the most successful people. So I often tell young students not to play tricks and tricks...
Who will be successful in the future?
A stupid person, a person who doesn’t use tricks and is very sincere in doing things to others. This is the law of heaven and earth.
33. Hypocritical people will not end well
It feels good to deal with hypocrisy, but the result will definitely not be good, even if it is good, it is "lucky".
But "escaping by chance" is a one-in-a-ten thousand chance. This kind of gambling behavior is too risky and not cost-effective.
34. Dissatisfaction is life
Chinese people have two famous sayings: "Unsatisfactory things often happen, but you can tell others the same."
"..."Nine times out of ten, you will lose in the world, and there will be no one you can like. ”
Everyone who lives in this society wants to have a good reputation, achieve high results, and be proud of themselves, but that is impossible.
A truly virtuous person, In this society, there are often a lot of grievances, insults, and pains. There is no way to complain to others, only to pick it up yourself.
35. The best way to practice filial piety is that there are indeed some mistakes in the world. Parents, one must first practice filial piety, and filial piety should not be just blind obedience, but also being able to tactfully correct the mistakes of parents is the true meaning of "thinking about relatives and not knowing others"
36. It’s scary to have no ambition
Whether a young person has a career in his life is not a problem; He can succeed in his career; but if he has no ambition, he will be like a test paper that has been thrown into the wastebasket.
37. Suffering is a good thing
In the history of mankind, all those who have achieved great success, established great achievements, and done great things have stood up from hardships. Only those who have stood up from hardships understand the worldly feelings.
So treat a person with kindness. In terms of achievements, sometimes it is a good thing to endure a little more hardship and setbacks when you are young.
Those who really want to achieve great success, establish great careers, and do great things must have rich life experience. .
38. Let go but don’t give up
Everyone has their own reasons and blessings.
Whatever you are attached to will hurt you. ; Whoever you are attached to will make you sad. Everything should be regarded as a dream, but letting go does not mean giving up. You must do what you have to do and do it well.
39. Treat people well and do things right
Knowledge is not literature, a good article is a person’s literature; being knowledgeable is a person’s knowledge.
As for knowledge, even if you don't know a word, you can still be knowledgeable - being a good person, doing things right, absolutely good, absolutely right, this is knowledge.
40. A gentleman does not blame others.
If a person can truly learn for the sake of learning, he will not blame God or others, but ask himself, why can’t I stand up?
Is it my own knowledge? , self-cultivation, and various other issues. I reflect deeply on myself, and I don’t have any thoughts of resentment in my heart. According to the current concept, this kind of mentality is absolutely healthy, and this is the way to be a gentleman.
41 , If you don’t deceive yourself, you will be invincible
Anyone who only does three things in his life will die: deceive himself, deceive others, and be deceived by others.
People, Because of "self-deception", you will "deceive others", and in the end you will of course be "deceived by others". If you don't deceive yourself, who can deceive you?
In other words, people must love themselves to be able to do so. If you love others, you will naturally be loved by others. It can also be said that only by respecting others can you make others respect you.
42. If you are stubborn, you will not achieve great things
When we study the personalities of some successful and failed figures in history, we will find very interesting contrasts. Some people like to accept better opinions from others.
However, there are too few people who can change immediately, withdraw their opinions immediately, and use other people's better opinions. Liu Bang is one of these few people. Xiang Yu will never change his own ideas and will never accept other people's opinions.
43. Brag less and do more practical things
Human psychology is the same at all times and in all countries. Most people like to brag and seldom follow the facts; ideals are very high and must be based on reality. It’s difficult to do it in action.
Therefore, Confucius said that a true gentleman should talk less empty words and do more real things.
44. Believe in the beauty of the world
Don’t always say that husband and wife are enemies, children are creditors, and don’t say that money is a poisonous snake and the human heart is sinister. Believe that there is a beautiful side and a kind side to this world.
45. Living with Right Livelihood
The true cultivation lies in being able to detect one's own mistakes and "accept the righteousness" between temptation and forbearance.
Whatever happens to you, do not blame God or others, do not express your anger, and do not blame others. This is living a right life.
46. There is a realm in everything you do
A person practices Taoism or studies, and there are different realms step by step. Like an art student, if you have a new inspiration today, or if you paint a painting, you will have a special experience, that is, it has its realm.
A cement worker suddenly dropped a brick today and wiped it with cement. It was very smooth and made him feel very comfortable. It turns out that this is the best way to build bricks. This was the state he was in when he was a cement worker.
47. Arrogance is a kind of inferiority complex
I often say that an arrogant person simply has an inferiority complex. People who do not have inferiority complex will not be arrogant, because people with low self-esteem know that they have nothing. , and I am deeply afraid that you will look down on me, so I am arrogant.
Therefore, all arrogant people are pitiful people and have an inferiority complex; because they have an inferiority complex, they in turn become arrogant and do not understand life. This is the truth.
48. Worrying about gain and loss are all due to selfish desires
Some people do not even have the most basic self-cultivation. When they cannot get fame and power, they "worry about gain" and are afraid of gaining. Instead, make up your mind and think of ways to climb to this position.
When you climb to this position and have the power in your hands, you are "worried about losing it", fearing that you will lose the power you have gained.
Worrying about gains and losses means that you have too much selfish desire, do not have truly great ideas, great personality and great goals, and only care about personal interests.
49. Those who have a negative heart are mostly scholars
According to my decades of experience, I still recognize the two sentences of the ancients: "Every time someone slaughters a dog with righteousness, a person who has a negative heart is usually a scholar." . ”
It is the poor who sympathize with and pity others. Only the poor will sympathize with the poor, and only those who are in pain will sympathize with the suffering people. Dog-slaughterers are those who kill pigs and dogs without reading any books.
The higher the knowledge of an intellectual, the more he can explain his thoughts. When he is unwilling to do it, he will deliberately explain it. People with low knowledge can’t explain it, my friend! Why not? There is no reason not to go as a friend because his thoughts are not complex.
50. The highest state is ordinary
The higher the knowledge, the more complex the thoughts. A person who has high knowledge and becomes a simple and dedicated person is the best person in the world.
