Chapter 24 To the Ninth Brother and Jidi · Must be self-reliant and self-reliant

【original】 About Yuan Jidi: Originating from the theory of people's generalization of nature, I don't feel very at a loss. When it comes to the world of snobbery and the world of strong bullying the weak, how could this start today?Gai has been around since ancient times.From ancient times, emperors, generals and ministers, no one can not help but be self-reliant; even sages and sages have their own way of self-reliance and self-improvement, so they can be independent and indomitable.In previous years, when Yu was in Beijing, he liked to make enemies of people with great names and high positions, and he never had the intention of standing upright and not afraid of strong defense.

Recently, I have seen the way of heaven and earth, rigidity and softness complement each other, there is no need to neglect it, too soft will be sluggish, too rigid will break, rigidity is not the term of violence, it is just forceful correction.Softness does not mean being humble or weak, it is just humility.If you want to go to the public office, you should force yourself; if you strive for fame and profit, you should retreat modestly; if you start a family business, you should force yourself;If you go out to meet people, you should force it, and if you go in and enjoy it with your wife, you should retreat modestly.

If one side makes great achievements and enjoys a great name outside, and one side asks for fields and homes, the inside picture is solid.Both of them have the appearance of fullness, and if there is no intention of modesty and retreat, they will not last long. I am deeply convinced, and I should experience it silently.

Didn't this start today?It has been here since ancient times.From ancient times, there is no emperor, general or minister who is not made by self-reliance.Even saints and sages have their own paths of self-improvement and self-reliance.So be able to be independent without fear, assertive and persevering.When I was talking about the city in the past, I liked to fight against people with great reputation and status. It didn't mean that I didn't mean to be self-reliant and not afraid of violence.

Recently, I have realized the truth between heaven and earth, that rigidity and softness can be used together, and cannot be neglected.Too soft and it will rot, too rigid and it will break.Just didn't mean violent, just forced correction.Soft doesn't mean humble and weak, it's just humility and concession. Do things and go on business trips, you must force yourself.Competing for fame and fortune, you must retreat modestly.To start a family business, you must force yourself.Stay safe and happy, and retreat modestly.Be arrogant when going out to socialize with others.Enjoy with your wife and children at home, and retreat modestly.

If you make great achievements on the one hand, you will enjoy a high reputation outside.On the one hand, they have to buy land and build houses in pursuit of a solid and comfortable life.Then, there are signs of fullness in both aspects, and there is no thought of retreating at all. It will never last for a long time. I firmly believe that, and brothers, let's experience it silently! (May 28, the first year of Tongzhi)
