Chapter 63 Sow with tears, reap with joy (1)

In the Four Books of the Four Books and Five Classics of China, there is "Mencius", some of the words in "Mencius" are not all said by Mencius, I will read a passage for everyone: "Qi Jinggong said: It is impossible to order, and it is impossible to order. "What does this mean?I have no right to order you to do anything, and I will not accept or do anything you ask me to do. This is suicide. People like you are useless and wrong. Let me tell you, the older I get, the less I want to be this kind of person.When I was growing up, I might want to be this kind of person, but the older I get, the less I want to be this kind of person.The reason why I don't want to do it is: Who is this person?This kind of person is a sarcastic person who keeps complaining, going on this and that, and has opinions on everything, but if you ask him to tell his way, there is no way.In six words, it is called: "There is a claim, but there is no way." What is "There is a claim, but there is no way"?Let's see, it is the Four Books and Five Classics. There is a passage in the "Book of Rites", which says: "The way of the great way is also, the world is for the public, and the virtuous and capable are selected." Excuse me, "The world is for the public" is the idea, how about the world? For the public?have no idea. "Selecting talents and abilities" is also a proposition, how can "select talents"? How to "select talents"?have no idea.In other words, this kind of person is limited to the first level, that is, he has opinions. ——As for the method?There is no way.So, we can see that there is nothing he can do.

I gave an example above. In 1932, American masses (veterans) surrounded the U.S. Congress. In Washington Square (a square in the capital), people refused to disperse there. What is the claim?Claims are their claims.What is the solution?There is no solution, the solution is to corner the government and ask the government to shoot, that's all.It is very important to have a way, but it is not enough to have a proposition.So I think it's only right that one has to be smart enough to have the means to come up with my claims.Otherwise, neither order nor order, this kind of person is helpless.

We don't want people to become a sarcastic person, so I advise everyone to think about a few attitudes: first, don't sulk; second, don't sigh, sighing means there is no way; third One, don’t curse, how about I hate you, it’s wrong to use cursing; the fourth, don’t swear, you can swear, you see, Li Ao swears all day, use evidence to swear, we are not just swearing; fifth One, don’t admit it, tell this situation that I have to admit it, I have no choice but to don’t admit it, don’t forget it, and say such nonsense as "enemies are easy to resolve and difficult to tie"; sixth, don’t run away, don’t run away .These outlooks on life are all negative, but there is a bottom line in the negativity. This bottom line is: Maybe you can’t do something positively, but you can do nothing negatively. Cursing, not swearing, don't admit it, don't say forget it, and don't run away, these are all negative standards.So I think we should work hard on these standards.

People say, you, Li Ao, are making sarcastic remarks.No, I have lived my whole life under these standards, and I have made a lot of efforts.Let me tell you, many of them are successful. In English it is called it works. How do we translate it in Beijing dialect—it works.What you think you can't do, when you can't see it, when you can't see it, when you can't see it, in a place you can't think of it, what you do takes root, blossoms and bears fruit, and has its results.So, do less of what you can't help, because it just makes you feel more aggrieved. I once said that Deng Xiaoping was a strong man.In character, he is strong.He once criticized the scarred literature after the "Cultural Revolution" in the mainland. In eight words, he said: Crying and crying are useless.This is the reaction of the strong.The general reaction is: how many difficulties I have suffered, I am narrating, I am nagging.Deng Xiaoping was not—weeping and crying, he was useless.why?We have to solve this problem, make up for this mistake, and live on again. This is the style of the strong.

Recently, my daughter Li Wen (Hedy Lee), in the motherland, I saw her a little bit upside down.As an American (Ph.D. in American Education), she wants to come to the motherland to do some educational work and demonstration work. I think it is a very interesting phenomenon.I saw on the Internet that my daughter said that 80% of people supported her, and 10% of people said (she did this) because of differences in national conditions, because you grew up in the United States, Ten percent scolded her.The approximate ratio is like this.What is my daughter doing? She argues.In my opinion, Li Ao, it's not a big deal for her to argue about these things, that is to say, we are Chinese, we don't want to spit at will, we don't want this or that, we need to maintain the quality of our lives.There is nothing wrong with that.Therefore, we can see the way she fights, she says, she wants to be a sower.

Have you ever thought that in Christian education, we sow with tears and reap with joy.However, I have a little doubt about my daughter, this Hedy Lee, she sows with joy and reaps with tears.What is the reason?Because the heat is not enough.My daughter said repeatedly that she was not asking for anything. She said: I rented this villa for 1,300 US dollars. In this high-end villa area, the quality of life is high-end. How can you keep a dog? You can't keep a dog, how can you keep a dog?How can you grow vegetables?How can you act like this, like a servant? This is her attitude.In my opinion, my daughter is too unpopular.However, my daughter's opinion is: I am not in a civilian area, I live in a villa area rented for 1,300 US dollars, why are you people in the villa area uneducated? Why are you like this?She doesn't understand, that's why the upstarts are.The nouveau riche suddenly became rich, or something suddenly, but his education level could not keep up.Cultural level is a very difficult level, because it involves a person's habits.
