Excerpts from Zeng Guofan's front and side reading

The front and side of Zeng Guofan

Hongjie Zhang

The order of years makes people move from criticism to construction.

& gt& gt This means that it is not easy to know things, and it is not easy to judge things that you do not fully understand. He often has doubts when reading a book, which is written on the front page of the volume and even becomes a book for a long time. In addition, when he looked at the art of war and history, he often questioned the reality, not sticking to the ancients or the law.

& gt& gt So outstanding people in ancient and modern times have achieved their goals by their own efforts.

& gt& gt People who are extremely clever and willing to do stupid things have great achievements.

& gt& gt Our scholars are clumsy, that is, they should be complacent, make up for their mistakes with diligence and be cautious. They shouldn't sell their wisdom by tricks, their mistakes are even worse. "

& gt& gt No truth has been realized at present, even in art, as Ferini said, "In order to go beyond convention, strict order is needed".

& gt& gt His strength lies in his life's practice.

& gt& gt People who work hard without perseverance will encourage their thoughts ... This matter must not be won by the weak, it must be fierce by the strong, and it must not be a bloody battle by the weak.

& gt& gt If you want to do something, you must never seek knowledge. "But if you ask for hard work, Mo Wen will get something."

Zeng Guofan found out from the details in the preface

& gt& gt For many people, Zeng Guofan's main significance is to prove what height an ordinary person can reach under the impetus of willpower.

The first chapter Zeng Guofan's five humiliations in his life

& gt& gt If the wood in the forest is beautiful, the wind will be destroyed, the blade will be sharp, and people can't do it.

& gt& gt Do what you can't do, but ask yourself.

The third chapter is how Zeng Guofan "reinvented himself"

thought

& gt mental strength directly determines the degree of physical potential.

& gt& gt Therefore, it is very important for a person's spiritual growth to "aspire", or to set a lifelong goal. Zeng Guofan deeply realized this.

& gt& gt。 But if someone supervises himself, the combat effectiveness may be very different. This is like a bamboo with a bad gene, which grows in a bamboo forest and has a straight root. In order to compete with them for sunshine, they will naturally grow straight. This is the effect of "clamping".

& gt& gt Cowards are ambitious. "In order to get the clamping, once

& gt& gt I have always had a shortcoming, that is, the same. Because I wrote this diary, I can be sure that I will never change.

& gt& gt There's nothing the world can do about this forgiveness. Urgent, urgent.

& gt& gt If you want to break old habits, you must have the power of arrogance.

& gt& gt, that is, these two ends, it can be seen that nothing is static. "

& gt& gt The most respectable quality in life is perseverance.

& gt& gt A man without perseverance will accomplish nothing in his life.

& gt& gt If you don't finish reading a book, you will never read his book. It's selfish to look around. "

& gt& gt Everything is extremely difficult, and all that makes sense are heroes.

& gt& gt I don't know that observing discipline and being consistent is the first important thing in life. Those who are good at helping others will do their best here.

Chapter VII Zeng Guofan's geomantic omen, physiognomy, divination and destiny.

& gt& gt is dedicated to heaven and earth, serving the people, connecting the past with the future and serving the world.

Chapter VIII Zeng Guofan's clumsiness and shrewdness

& gt& gt The worst is the worst, and the smartest is the best.

& gt& gt Don't read the next sentence unless you understand the previous sentence. Don't touch the next book until you have finished reading this one. Never go to sleep until you finish the study task for a day.

& gt& gt, therefore, the anti-strike ability is particularly strong. Clumsy people don't know how to play tricks, but only know how to take advantage of problems, so they don't leave any dead ends.

& gt& gt If you are determined to study, you must study hard. "

& gt& gt If you accumulate baht, you will gain more. If you are tired, you will gain more. If you are mature, you will become a saint.

& gt& gt He just pushes his brain harder, more solidly and more ruthlessly than others. "The bitter wisdom, the brighter" is his personal experience. (

So what if it's sanctified

& gt& gt Write one thing in the book every day, so that it can be cured. "It seems that" guilt "and repentance consciousness do not necessarily need the guidance of God, but only a heart that never stops pursuing" sanctification ". Self-abuse, I mean, self-motivation, is our excellent biography.
