Zeng Guofan also deeply realized on the way of learning to be a "saint".
? On the road of learning to be a "saint", his first success was "quitting smoking". But later he found that it was much easier to get rid of other shortcomings and break the thief's mind than to give up smoking.
There is only one way to quit smoking: don't touch smoking utensils. ? However, the weakness of personality is deeply rooted in human nature. It has been formed for many years and is integrated with other parts of people. It is far more complicated and hidden than smoking addiction, and it can't be picked out and cut off by a scalpel alone.
? These many deep-rooted shortcomings and problems, in addition to "boiling" for a while, it will take a lifetime to "slow down" before they can be slowly resolved.
It can be seen that learning saints is a lifelong career, and the most important thing is persistence and "tenacity".
