people must work hard on things, and do the kung

No matter what they do, only after hard work and hard work can they truly achieve something.

As the saying goes:

You cannot open it on your own without cooking it; you cannot peck on your own without hatching it.

Cooking and raising broods requires patient waiting to get a good result.
We need to do things like this. We must not be arrogant or impatient. Only by thinking carefully can we get it done.
As Zeng Guofan said in : "Strengthen your ambition, harden your heart, and work hard. No matter how big or small things, you will achieve something."
can only truly hone your abilities by being patient and concentrating on "to fight to the death" in every matter.

The more difficult it is, the more you cultivate your mind

Many people are prone to anxiety when encountering things, eager to change the status quo, but suffer from no solution.

In fact, the antonym of anxiety is "specific". As long as you make things specific, you won’t be anxious.

  • A person really starts to be self-disciplined depends on the motivation

Western Han philosopher Dong Zhongshu . He has loved reading since he was a child and often forgets to eat and sleep.


Dong Taigong felt sorry for his grandson and decided to build a garden for him to have fun and rest.


garden has been built for three years, but no matter how family and friends invite you, Dong Zhongshu never took a step forward.


Why can he resist temptation so firmly?


Because in his opinion, "not looking at the garden for three years" is not a loss, but a choice.

His desire for knowledge from the bottom of his heart far exceeds the need for fun. This mysterious and powerful force is the inner motivation.

True self-discipline is by no means relying on the will to hold on and tired persistence, but because it pulls the ring of motivation and starts a firm journey of love.

Psychologically, motivation is divided into two types:
is controlled by the outside world, such as the reward mechanism, which is called external motivation; what is born from the heart and does it spontaneously and voluntarily is called internal motivation.

There is such a saying that

No one completes the marathon by just perseverance.

Many people run 300 kilometers or 500 kilometers every month. Do these people rely on persistence? They are a super enjoyment to run!

The same thing, the more you seek the result, the more you tell yourself that "must succeed", the easier it is to lose.
The simpler you enjoy the process, the better your performance will be.
Only by understanding the causes of motivation and finding inner desires can you get closer to your ideal self.

Live in practice and practice in life

We are always accustomed to chasing and putting heavy shackles on our body and mind. Who knows that only by holding a quiet and desireless heart can we find the joy of this world.

is a habit of adding, which is a primitive instinct
Home space only knows how to hoard things but not clean them, just like a water storage pool.
will only keep inflowing water without draining water, and will eventually become a pool of stagnant water. The surface looks clear and the bottom layer is full of mud. This is true in
, tidying up the room is also tidying up the heart.

Learning to do subtraction is a kind of wisdom of life

As long as a person knows what he really wants and finds a life that only suits him, all external temptations and excitement will become irrelevant to him.
Life is a journey of wisdom that simplifies complexity.

Only by learning to subtract life and facing the world with a clear heart can you live your own beautiful and simple life.
