A reliable person has three characteristics: reluctance to speak, hardworking, and calm mind. In the fall of life, go to one-third of impetuousness and cultivate seven-point nobleness. Let the outside world make noise, I still stand alone in my original intentions.
Few words, precipitation in tea The Zhouyi says: "Ji people have few words, but irritable people." Talk less, think often, and settle in your heart. A mature life is like a cup of tea, hiding all words in the tea soup. The poet Du Fu failed in the imperial examination and was rejected for turning to the rich and powerful. During these ten years, he was trapped in Chang'an and was depressed. Later, Du Fu encountered war again and was displaced, and his wife and children could not eat a full meal. In the most difficult time, he was in Chengdu and covered the thatched cottage with thatch to shelter him from wind and rain. Life is destined to be difficult, Du Fu did not cry and make a lot of noise, but quietly reclaimed wasteland, grow vegetables and carry water. In his spare time, Du Fu likes to drink tea and compose poems, and his great sorrows are digested in a bowl of thick tea. "Bowl after bowl, sip all the worries. Fear and fear lose their righteousness, keep silent for a long time." Only smell the fragrance of flowers, not about sorrows and joys. Drinking tea and chanting books, do not scramble for the day. After suffering, sun and rain, the tea is just silent. Lu Yu wrote in "The Classic of Tea": "Sipping bitterness and sweetness, tea too." There is a bitter taste in the mouth, and lingering after swallowing. Life is like tea, after ups and downs, it returns to quiet. A person who doesn't speak much is because he swallowed his bitterness alone and fed himself up.
Physical diligence, honed in the matter "Physical diligence is self-cleaning, and mind is self-purifying." A diligent person always works in silence and reaps good luck. Zeng Guofan was a famous official in the late Qing Dynasty and was born in rural Hunan. He had just arrived in Beijing to apply for a job, and he thought he was lucky to get an official position. Zeng Guofan is complacent and spends all day hanging out with friends, friends, and friends. He doesn't want to work, so he focuses on eating, drinking, and having fun. Later, when grandfather inquired about his situation, he sent a letter to persuade him to change his face. "One diligence cures all diseases, one laziness to do nothing." Only then did Zeng Guofan wake up, get rid of the habit of laziness, and demand himself strictly. In the army, regardless of wind and rain, he still wakes up early and leads troops for training. He wrote in his diary: "If you gain one point of virtue today, you will count as one liter; if you cultivate one point tomorrow, you will have a penny left." Tiechu turns into needles, Hanmei proudly snows, and drops of water pierce through stone. A sweat, a harvest, a brilliance. The real freedom is not to escape from reality, but to act firmly and then have a clear conscience. For the rest of my life, he is diligent in his hands and feet, has a firm heart, and has a smooth life.
Quiet mind, lonely "With mountains and seas in my heart, returning home is endless." Mr. Yang Jiang is a person with "thin temperament". At the age of 55, Yang Jiang was assigned to do physical work. Under the supervision of a cleaner, the toilet is cleaned daily. I was a little angry at first, but slowly accepted, and calmly cleaned the toilet. Later, Qian Zhongshu died and Yang Jiang lived alone. She refused all complicated interpersonal relationships, closed the doors and windows, sat alone in the courtyard, and wrote books and articles. Quit the excitement and live alone. One's soul is enriched and promoted in solitude. She said in "100 Years Old Testimonials": "We looked forward to the recognition of the outside world so much that we finally learned that the world is ours and has nothing to do with others." In the time of life, the flowers are exposed, and there is no trouble to sit still in the mountains and forests. Along the way, a few dust. The mind is calm, the annoyance is less, and the blessing is more.
I really like this passage of Chai Jing: "Life is not that every second counts. When you feel chaotic, stop and sort yourself out, and then set off. Stay calm and be loyal to your heart, and your life will be full. " The most beautiful day is to listen to your heart. The long flowing water is enough to pass the fleeting years. A person who doesn't speak, settles in the tea; A physically diligent person, honed in things; A quiet-minded person often walks by himself. You don’t have to panic for the rest of your life, you have your own arrangements, and live as you want in the cloud.
