In the Ming Dynasty , there is a pair in Baiyun Temple in Beijing :

"There is nothing in the world more difficult than practicing well, and nothing in the world is as difficult as eating."

A person's true cultivation lies in the ordinary life, every day, every day Take your meal seriously and eat it with your heart.

seems simple, but in fact it can also tell a person's mood and mentality.

The real way to establish yourself lies in cultivating yourself and polishing yourself in daily life.

1: Cultivation of filial piety

Lin Qingxuan said:

"Parents treat their children. Although the children are like kites flying far away, the parents' hearts are still tied to the thread and swaying in the wind."

On the contrary, as a filial child, Even though you know your parents don't ask you to be nice to them.

However, when I see that my children have a filial heart towards me, I am always happy in my heart.

This kind of joy may only be experienced by children themselves if they become parents.

One of the seventy-two sages, Gongye grew up . He grew up in a poor family with only his mother.

Gongye was also very filial and considerate of his mother. He often accompanied her to the mountains to collect firewood.

One day, his mother fell ill and there was no rice for cooking at home, so Gongye, carrying his mother on his back, secretly went up the mountain to cut firewood, preparing to sell the firewood to buy rice.

However, the young Gongye Chang felt scared because he was in the deep mountains and forests, so he couldn't help crying, and the crying got louder and louder.

The loud crying alarmed the birds on the mountain, and they flew over and landed next to Gong Yechang, and then they even started talking in human language.

Chang Gongye was surprised and asked how the birds could talk. They all said that they were starlings and could imitate human speech.

In the end, the little birds knew that Gongye was crying because he was worried about his mother at home, and that he needed to cut firewood to help his mother, so they all started to collect firewood for him and brought him a lot of peanuts along the way. .

In the evening, the mother felt very worried when she saw her son who had not returned home after dark.

However, when I saw my son coming back and seeing him carrying a lot of firewood, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

Then, when the mother heard what her son had experienced in the mountains, she hugged him tightly and cried with emotion.

Zeng Guofan said:

"If you are sincere and have a sense of proportion, if you are extravagant and guilty, you will look up to Zhaozhao, look down on your moral affairs, and be tolerant. Therefore, the Duke is not ashamed of his teacher, Meng Bo is not ashamed of his mother, and he is sincere." Extending from the inner ear. "

If a person has filial piety, he will be willing to help his parents in life. Even if his contribution is small, his sense of propriety and filial piety are infinitely powerful.

For parents, we as children should know how to look up to the sun, moon and blue sky, look down on the earth and all living things, and treat the people around us firmly and kindly.

2: Cultivation of a self-conscious mind

A person who has established himself should always cultivate a self-conscious mind.

Being self-aware means that you must learn self-discipline, and you must also know that you must persevere in everything and deal with it patiently and calmly.

Because you have consciousness, you will be restrained and scrupulous about your daily words and deeds.

What people are most afraid of is falling into a crazy situation, especially when they obviously don’t have the capital to be crazy, but they have arrogant thoughts, it is easy to cause trouble.

The Southern Song Dynasty Confucianist Hu Hong said:

"If a person is not benevolent, morality will cease."

If a person learns to consciously imitate great men and consciously improves his knowledge level, he will naturally be able to realize the power of benevolence and righteousness in reality. .

If you are benevolent and righteous in doing things, you will be able to gain the trust and support of others over time.

On the contrary, a person who is extremely unconscious and disorderly is unlikely to be able to restrain himself in life, let alone take the initiative to do something to improve his own image.

In life, really smart people, people who can really achieve great achievements, are usually extremely low-key and know how to exercise self-discipline.

They abide by their duties, are honest and trustworthy, and are conscious, self-disciplined and independent to complete what they should do.

On the contrary, some people who are impetuous and eager for quick success like to make up their minds, try everything in a superficial way, and make decisions according to their own temperament and preferences.

This kind of person is disrespectful, arrogant, and arrogant. Even if he has good resources and solid connections in his hands, he doesn't know how to use them.

On the contrary, the more people around them help them, the easier it is for them to become arrogant. On the one hand, this bad habit cannot keep up with the current situation, and secondly, it will ruin the good things that should have been due to their own character flaws. future.

Life is like this. A person's success or failure is often not determined by the starting point, but by subsequent character cultivation.

Therefore, if a person knows how to become conscious earlier, cultivate an independent personality, and build strong strength, he will be able to establish himself in time.

3: The value of a person who practices self-reflection

is that he can self-reflect and examine himself anytime and anywhere.

Zengzi said:

"I have to examine myself three times in a day. Have I been unfaithful in my conduct for others? Have I not believed in my friends? Have I not learned to teach?"

Human ears can hear, human eyes can see, and human mouth can speak. , the human brain can think.

In this way, we always have various excellent conditions to obtain the knowledge and value we want, but many people just waste these abilities.

Instead, they have long been accustomed to living a life of doing nothing, going with the flow, and even doing whatever they want.

Not only do they not reflect on themselves, they are also completely unwilling to suffer the hardship of knowledge and the fatigue of action. They think that life can be lived.

Successful people who can truly make people feel envious and admired are always positive, extremely conscious and self-disciplined.

They will at least take the initiative to reflect on themselves from time to time, be strict with themselves, and truly recognize and understand themselves.

This kind of self-reflection is used to analyze your own strengths and weaknesses calmly and rationally, so that you can truly realize your own shortcomings and give full play to your strengths to achieve success.

Zeng Guofan said:

"Keep yourself safe and ask for nothing, and you will not suffer disaster."

Be content with yourself, keep yourself, and ask for nothing from others, and disaster will not befall you.

Indeed, if a person knows how to cultivate a filial heart, be kind to his parents, and share the happiness of family;

cultivate a conscious heart, work conscientiously, and work harder day by day, to reap the joy of success;

cultivate a reflective heart, learn from each other's strengths, and improve himself, then he can If you wish to establish yourself in this society, you will have no regrets in this life.
