Chapter 36 learn to be a person

The topic I want to talk about is: "Learning to be a Person".Be a whole person, don't be a partial person.Although there are forty million people in China, how many of them are whole people?Gentlemen, consider this: "Am I a whole person myself?" There are a few words in "Baopuzi": "Full life is the top; bad life is the second; death is the second; not born is the bottom." But what kind of man is not the whole man?In my opinion, there are about five kinds: (1) A crippled person—his body is deficient, so of course he cannot be regarded as a whole person.

(2) Relying on others—his life is not independent, and his life can only be regarded as a part of the life of others. (3) Being used as a tool by others——The life of this kind of person is controlled by others and has no independent personality of its own. (4) Those who are bought and sold by others—people who are trafficked by human traffickers are piglets; or congressmen who have been bribed with money and sold themselves are representatives. (5) A person who is in charge of multiple tasks at the same time - a person with a single energy can only focus on one career. If a person has more than a dozen errands at the same time, it is difficult for him to take care of both energy and his career will not be successful.The result is just taking money and doing nothing.

I hope that you will be at least one person; at most you will be only one person, a whole person.To be a whole person, there are three elements: (1) We must have a healthy body—with good health, we can stand firmly in the material environment.Gentlemen, to be an 80-year-old youth, you can shoulder heavy responsibilities, don't be an 18-year-old old man. (2) Have an independent mind——Be open-minded, think thoroughly, and have the ability to judge right from wrong. (3) There must be an independent office—there must be an independent office for the purpose of making profits.Those who make profits will naturally be rewarded by society.

I think middle school students have a big problem, that is, the "problem of choosing a career". I think that choosing a career should be based on individual talents and interests.We must be happy in doing things, so we should choose careers according to our personal interests.But if we want to succeed in things, we must have that ability. I once wrote a poem in vernacular about the need for a man to have an independent career: Drip your own sweat, eat your own food. Relying on people, heaven, and ancestors is not considered a good man. Now we should talk about the two words "learning" and "doing". We must learn and do at the same time. "Learning" and "doing" should be connected.English Learnbydoing, that is the meaning.We need theory to guide our lives, and we need life to confirm the theory.

In the future, some of you will go to higher education, and some will get a job, but you must study all the methods for learning.Those who study farming must have a scientific mind and the hands of a farmer; those who study engineering must also have a scientific mind and the hands of a worker.Only in this way can he study well. I hope that the individual present at the meeting will be one of the forty million people.You should always think about: How many whole people are there in China? Am I a whole person?
