Unity of knowledge and action is a philosophical theory proposed by Ming Dynasty Thinker Wang Shouren , that is, understanding the principles of things and implementing things are inseparable. Knowledge refers to inner awareness, awareness of things, and action refers to human actual behavior.
To be simple, if you have an idea in your mind, you can take action immediately and practice it. I believe that when many people have good ideas, they missed a good opportunity because they are uncertain and waited for a while. Afterwards, they would say: I also wanted to do this, but it was a pity.
Then how can we achieve the unity of knowledge and action? It is difficult, but it is not impossible. First of all, you have to make up your mind and change yourself, because this requires great self-control.
We can start with small things, such as setting a small goal for ourselves every day, which can be exercise, study, or life. You must do it. After a period of time, you will adapt to this kind of life, add some amount to yourself, and slowly achieve your ideal state. In this process, you will experience the great sense of accomplishment brought by progress and success, which is also the motivation for you to persevere.
In fact, in the process of persistence, you have achieved the unity of knowledge and action, because you firmly believe that doing this kind of thing will be good for you, so you did it. After getting used to it, a person will have a better mental outlook, be diligent in doing things, no longer procrastinate, and will do whatever he thinks. Isn’t this the unity of knowledge and action?
Life is also a kind of practice, which is why some people can see through and far when they get old, while others live a mess. So, it’s never too late to change yourself and make yourself excellent. You deserve the best and should have the best. What do you think?
