Talking about the spirit of self-improvement

Talking about the spirit of self-improvement

I have a little trouble in front of my eyes, I don't know how to be good? Self-improvement in the world is my consistent proposition, and it is my consistent style. I don’t know what happened recently. Confidence does not seem as strong as before. This is not a good thing, just write an article myself to cheer myself up.
In fact, self-improvement is endless. Originally the school motto of Tsinghua University. Its explanation is: two sentences from the "Book of Changes": one sentence is "Tian Xingjian, the gentleman to self-improvement"; one sentence is "the terrain is Kun, the gentleman carries the virtues." During the period of the Republic of China, when Liang Qichao taught at Tsinghua University, he gave a speech on "The Gentleman" to the Tsinghua students at that time. In his speech, he hoped that the students of Tsinghua University could inherit the traditional Chinese virtues and quoted the "Book of Changes". Words such as self-improvement and "thickness and morality" are used to motivate Tsinghua students. Since then, the Tsinghua people have written the words "self-improvement, morality and morality" into the Tsinghua school rules, and later gradually evolved into Tsinghua school motto.
"Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improving" "The land is Kun, the gentleman carries the virtues" means that the movement of the sky is just strong and strong, corresponding to this, the gentleman should be like the heavens, self-improvement Strong and resolute, strong and angry, never stop; the earth's momentum is thick and smooth, gentlemen should increase their virtues and carry everything. Translated as: gentleman should run like Tianyu, even if it is violent, it is unyielding; if you are a gentleman, the measurement of the object is like the earth, nothing can not be carried.
A famous philosopher, a historian of philosophy, a master of Chinese studies, and a professor of philosophy at Peking University, Mr. Zhang Yunian summarized the spirit of the Chinese nation as "self-improvement" and "thickness and morality." As a master of Chinese studies, he is a diligent, diligent, diligent, and philosophical student, and he is a model for a generation of scholars.
The world is like a flash of light, and the ups and downs are unpredictable. If you have genius, hard work will make you even more powerful; if you don't have genius, hard work will make you win everything. Destiny is in the hands of those who work diligently. Those who push the world forward are not the geniuses in the strict sense, but those who are meek and very diligent and hardworking; not the talented and talented geniuses, but the ones who are in the world. People in the industry who work diligently and work hard. Even if you have physical disabilities, even if you don't have the talent, even if others look down on you. However, as long as you are self-improving, you can change the way others think about you, and you can open up a world of your own!
A person with extraordinary talents and no perseverance and perseverance will only become a fleeting spark. Many people with strong will, perseverance, and intellect, and even a little slow. It will surpass those who have only talent and no perseverance. Laziness is like a poison. It poisons people's bodies and poisons people's hearts. No matter how beautiful things are, people can only understand how hard this beautiful thing is because they have to pay the corresponding labor and sweat.
To be honest, true wisdom is always connected with modesty, and true philosophers must be as generous as the sea. Shallow hatred and ignorance of ignorance are manifestations of true disrespect for labor and lack of respect for hard work. People often say: If you plant the seeds of behavior, you will harvest habits; when you plant the seeds of habit, you will harvest your character; if you sow the seeds of character, you will harvest a certain destiny. The ancients said: "Smell the chicken and dance early, and the people will be rewarded with diligence." Let us develop the habit of hard work, cultivate diligent character, and harvest the fruit of harvest!
I used the school motto of Tsinghua University to "self-improvement, ethics and morality" as the title, and asked my individual students to write articles. It is found that although the students can understand the meaning of "self-improvement" from the positive side, the profound meaning of it is not very good. As for the "thickness and morality", most people are even more literally meaningless. I feel very sorry.
When I saw this sentence from the book, the above said that the best school motto in our country is to promote the motto of Tsinghua University because it expresses the essence of traditional culture. "Self-improvement", out of "Easy Elephant": "Tian Xingjian, gentleman to self-improvement." The sun, the moon and the stars in the sky are constantly running, this is the meaning of "Tian Xing Jian". Gentlemen follow the example of the law, and they must continue to work like the sky. "Thickness and morality", see "Yi Kun": "The terrain is Kun, the gentleman carries the virtues." The topography of the land is thick and wide, and it can carry all things. The gentleman takes the law and must accumulate morality before he can undertake the cause.
Therefore, this self-improvement, ethics and morality, requires people to follow the example of the world and continue to work hard in all aspects of learning and doing. Traditional culture emphasizes "the combination of heaven and man". People come from heaven and earth and are the derivatives of heaven and earth. Therefore, the way of heaven and earth is the way of life. Many scholars in ancient times can deeply understand this spirit and consciously practice it. For example, Confucius, the self-reported "indignation, forgetting to eat, happy and forgetting, not knowing that the old is coming." Confucius once said to the students at the riverside: "The deceased is like a husband, staying up late." It is to motivate them to imitate nature, cherish the time, and strive to make progress.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Yanwu had a poem: Canglong was still raining, and the old tree was more flowery. He believes that "there is no day to die, there is a day that has not been heard." In his coveted years, Wang Fu’s illness was in bed, and he was able to overcome all kinds of unimaginable difficulties and work hard. "Jiang Zhaigong's narration" said: "As a result of the following year, the body is sick, the wrist is invincible, and the finger is invincible. When it is still placed on the side of the couch, it is hard to bet." What they embody, It is all this spirit. This kind of spirit is because of the practice of people, so that future generations still feel its fascinating rationality and beauty. The rich and valuable things in traditional culture are undoubtedly true. On this point, people can seem to be verbally, but I always feel that those who are idle or blind are still awkward. Such an excellent collection of my own treasures is inconceivable. I have recently read a note that makes me sigh. "Zhu Ziyu" contains Zhu Ziyu: "Trying to think of people as a sacred body, you can praise the cultivation of the world; you can be a sage by ordinary people."
It is said that a university publishing house published the "Zhu Ziyu Category Selection", and the above note "Zan" is "Like, praise", which is really a big mistake. The "praise" here should be interpreted as "help". People can help the world to cultivate, which is what Confucian music is. This is also a common sense of traditional culture. The ignorance of the annotator is surprising. The same book also chanted the words of "the cloud in the blue sky in the bottle" but they said: "To examine the results of the behavior, taking into account the difficulties of acting." I think this is even more nonsense. If the people who dare to comment on ancient books are so ignorant and ignorant of traditional culture, it is not surprising that the people mentioned above do not know the origin and meaning of "self-improvement" and "thickness and morality". It can be seen that the essence of traditional culture in today's society has been alienated from people.
"It’s good to be good, it’s good to carry things," which means to say good things. When good things are accumulated, they will be sublimated into rivers and lakes and sublimated into noble morals. Those with noble moral character will be embraced by people and adhere to moral standards. It will keep pace with the times and develop healthily. I believe that the Chinese nation with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, despite its vicissitudes of life, is still in the same league in the world. It is the inevitable result of the generations of generations of dragons seeking and seeking to abandon evil. Mencius's "old man and old man, young and young, and young children", Confucius's "benevolence and righteousness, wisdom, and gentleness," are all advising to promote people to be good. From this perspective, the history of the development of the Chinese nation is a history of pursuing "goodness." The so-called "goodness" means "good". "Good deeds" means "good things" that are done in accordance with the code of conduct or rules of the game that most people recognize and abide by. "Do not be good or small, do not be evil." "Together with our friends on the blog, we would like to do "good deeds" for honor and society, and "small good" for "thickness."
"Tiandao rewards diligence, virtue and morality", great success is directly proportional to hard work, and thickening virtues to carry everything should be our lofty pursuit, self-improvement, is the source of all success!
I feel that because my recent emotions are not very stable, I have been unaware of the teachings of the ancients. Since the words have already been said here, then I think that these words should actually motivate them. Relying on others is not my style, I must seriously change my own fault. Difficulties are objective, and subjective efforts are the most important. From now on, I must start my spirits, give up my illusions, rejuvenate my spirits, and achieve true self-improvement.
