Chapter 4 Success or failure (September 5, 1899)

Anyone who is in charge of major events in the world must first break the view of success or failure.However, it is not easy to break this view.You must know that there is no such thing as success or failure in the affairs of the world. If you understand this principle and believe in it, you will be a fool.What do you mean it doesn't matter?The principle of evolution in the world is endless, and one level is higher, and one level is higher. Today's so-called great cause of civilization, from another perspective, may be laughed at as barbaric, and it is not worth a penny.But what does the so-called winner really care?If my karma can be accomplished in one country, there are infinite things to be done in the whole world, and there are just too many people who cannot do it; if my karma can be accomplished in one moment, there are infinite things that the world should do in the future, and there are just too many people who cannot do it. .What's more, it is based on the theory of one time and one country. If you want to be so-called perfect, perfect, and without any defects, you will never get it. If you have defects, you will not succeed.Because the evolution of the world is infinite, the story industry is also infinite because of it, but the life, circumstances, intelligence and talents of life are limited.It is useless to use the poor to enter the infinite, but if you want to achieve success, there is nowhere.Why do you say that it doesn't matter if you lose?The reason of the world is nothing but cause and effect.If there is no cause, there will be no result, and if the cause is created, there will be no result, and the slowness and speed of the result will be different due to the internal force and the external environment.People who see it in a shallow way do not see the result by chance, because they call it a failure, and they don't know whether they will succeed in another, lose in the present or succeed in the future, lose in me or succeed in others.If you do your best, you will benefit from it. Therefore, if you work hard every day, but if you make things happen, the harvest in the future will surely be immeasurable.If you are afraid of the present, thinking that you are defeated, you will be defeated, and you don't do things again, then there will be no day of success.Therefore, those who do things are in a position of invincibility; those who do not do things are in a position of complete defeat.If you understand these two principles, if you know that there is no success, you will have no hope; if you know that there is no failure, you will have no fear.No hope, no fear, and then do what I have to do, do what my conscience can't do, strive to enter the world, be open and aboveboard, go alone, be a man, and be a man and also!

The first achievement of the Japanese Restoration, Xixiang?Kido?Okubo?Said, only no no.Ito?Okuma?Inoue?Goto?Itagaki?Said, only no no.All the philosophers want to become successful.If failure becomes success, Yoshida Shoin is the same.The ancestors of Yoshida created the cause, and the heroes of the Meiji era reaped the fruit.There is no effect without cause, so Yoshida's generation should be the leader of merit.Kao Songyin never succeeded in anything he wanted to do in his life. At the beginning, he wanted to join the West Ship to flee overseas to study but failed. When the Dao was suppressed, he was slaughtered when he sat down and discussed with the officials. He was only thirty years old, and his defeat could be said to be complete.However, after Songyin's death, the whole country's people with lofty ideals, the wind and the water surged, and the soldiers fell to the shogunate, Cheng Restoration, and the Nagato vassals were the most powerful, and they were all from the sect of Songyin.What I mean by defeating the present and gaining success in the future, and defeating oneself and gaining success in others, is exactly what I mean.The husband takes care of the affairs of the world with his body, and is the ear of the world, not his body, but it is beneficial to the world, so why should he be himself?It is necessary to seek self-fulfillment, which is for the body, not for the world.

Yoshida Songyin said: "Nowadays, there are many people who claim to be righteous and wait and see prudent people. This is the worst policy. How can we break the situation lightly and quickly, and then Xu Tu will occupy the land and lay stones?" He also said: "Scholar If you don’t follow the way, you’re done. If you don’t want to follow the way, you’re afraid of misfortunes and sins, and you don’t want to say anything. You tolerate the present and delay the future. What do gentlemen and scholars do?” He also said: “Today’s events and opportunities will be met, and the future will be gone. In the evening, let the people with lofty ideals change their joys and angers, what can they do?" He also said: "Everyone with eyes can see and know the affairs of today's world. And self-sufficient." He said again: "Life and death separate and reunite, and human affairs are sudden, but those who do not seize will, and those who do not destroy karma, the world can rely on it alone. Death and life are like opening and closing eyes, and misfortune and fortune are like repeated hands. Woo hoo! The most important thing is that and not here." He also said: "There is a saying in the world today that says, the time has not yet come, and light action wins defeat, how can it be like floating and sinking, avoiding people's anger, and taking advantage of the time to grab fame? Today's so-called ambition All scholars hold this theory. Those who hold this theory don’t think about the worries of the emperor today? Chen’s worries are like that, but he still holds this theory, and he is not a person with lofty ideals.” The above items, I I would like to write to all gentlemen, and my comrades would like to write to all gentlemen.

After reading the collections of Shoin, and then knowing that Japan has today's reformers, it is not accidental.Laozi said: "Don't be the first in the world." Even if you are the first in the world, there is no one who is undefeated.However, everyone in the world is afraid of failure and afraid of being the first, so the world is corrupt and out of control.Yoshida Shoin and his like are also those who take the world first and win for themselves.In the affairs of the world, there are often those who have not dreamed of it for hundreds of years, and suddenly one person advocates it, and several people agree with it, and it spreads all over the world within a few years.If there is no one who advocates this, they may lie in ambush, and they will not appear for decades or hundreds of years.Then I lamented that Lao Shi's learning is poisonous to the world, and there is no AI.
