How to be a person who is not confused, worried or afraid

The most important thing is to cultivate our judgment. If you want to cultivate judgment, you must at least have common sense; Furthermore, you must have special knowledge about what you want to do; Furthermore, you must have the wisdom to judge when things happen. If a person doesn't even have common sense, when he hears thunder, he says it's thunder; When he saw the eclipse, he said it was the frog's greed. Then, you must have no idea about anything. If you encounter a problem, you can solve it by asking God, asking for a sign, telling fortune, and telling fortune. The so-called "mystifying" has become the most pitiful person. Primary and secondary schools in the school teach people to have a lot of basic common sense, so as not to grope for everything secretly. But this common sense alone is not enough. When we are human beings, we always have a special occupation. I'm not the first person to do this job. Many people have done it. They have accumulated countless experiences and developed many principles and principles, all of which are specialized knowledge. I intend to do this job, so I should have expertise in this field. Like do I want to be a farmer? How to improve soil, how to improve seeds, how to resist water shortage and pests and diseases. , are learned from previous experience. When we have this knowledge and apply it to these things, we will naturally wonder; Otherwise, we will be confused. Craft, business, and so on, each has its own expertise, and so on. Do I want to be a financier? What kind of tax can produce what kind of results, what kind of public debt can produce what kind of results ... and so on, all of which have learned from past experience.

When we have this knowledge and apply it to these things, we will naturally wonder; Otherwise, we will be confused. Educators, military strategists, and so on, each with his own expertise, and so on. This is the kind of knowledge we acquired in colleges and universities. But is this common sense and knowledge enough? Not yet. The universe and life are alive, not dull; The events we encounter every day are complex and changeable, not simply printed. If you only learn this one and don't understand it, you will be in a hurry when you learn something you haven't learned. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate overall wisdom in order to have a fundamental judgment. How to cultivate this universal wisdom? First of all, we really need to hone our rough brain and make it meticulous and practical; Then, no matter how difficult it is, we will certainly be able to think clearly about his organization, and naturally we will not be confused. Second, we really need to train him well and make him clear; Then, only one thing is in front of me, so I can judge him calmly and clearly, and naturally I won't be confused. Common sense, knowledge and overall wisdom mentioned above are all essential elements of knowledge education; The purpose is to teach people to "know without confusion"

Second, how can we not worry?

Why don't benevolent people worry? To understand this truth, we must first know what China's philosophy of life is. The word "benevolence" is the full use of Confucian outlook on life. It is difficult to explain what "benevolence" is in words. The reluctant explanation can be said to be "the realization of universal personality." Confucius said, "People are also benevolent." It means that the completion of personality is called "benevolence", but you should know that personality is not something that a single person can see, but the relationship between people. So the word "benevolence" comes from two people, and Zheng Kangcheng explained that he is a "doll". In a word, my personality can only be realized if I sympathize with each other and become one. So if we don't talk about individualism, we have nothing to say; When it comes to individualism, of course, it will eventually come to universal personality. In other words, the universe is life, life is the universe, and my personality is no different from the universe.

Experiencing this truth is called "benevolent". However, why is this "benevolent" not worried? There are always two ends to worrying about: one is worrying about success or failure, and the other is worrying about gain or loss. If we have a "kind" outlook on life, we won't worry about success or failure. Why? Because we know that the universe and life will never be perfect, the Book of Changes begins with "dry" and ends with "poor"; It is in this universe that will never be perfect that we will always be able to create evolution. What we have done is to advance one inch or two inches in the long journey of the evolution of the universe to Wan Li. How can we claim success there? But what about not doing it? If you don't do it, you won't even move forward one inch or two. That's the real failure. The "benevolent" sees through this truth and thinks that only failure can be considered if it is not done, and it will not fail if it is done; Therefore, I ching said, "a gentleman strives for self-improvement." On the other hand, they believe that nothing will succeed; Is it successful to move Wan Li Road by an inch or two? Therefore, The Analects of Confucius said, "You can't do it if you know it." You think: What can a person with this outlook on life say about success or failure?

Furthermore, if you have a "benevolent" outlook on life, you won't suffer from loss. Why? Because it's mine, there's nothing to gain or lose. Even personality does not exist alone, so I can't clearly draw this part belongs to me and that part belongs to others, but where can I get it? Since there is nothing for me, I certainly won't lose anything. I just study for the sake of studying, and work for the sake of working. I don't take study and work as a means to achieve a certain goal-I can earn money for us. So Lao Tzu said, "Be born without it, but don't stick to it." "The more I think of people, the more I have; The more you think about people, the more you have. " You think: people with this outlook on life have nothing to worry about. In a word, with this outlook on life, you will naturally feel that "heaven and earth coexist with me, and everything is one with me"; You will naturally be "smug". His life is pure fun and art. This is the highest emotional education, the purpose of which is to teach people that "the benevolent does not worry".

Third, how can we not be afraid?

Without confusion and worry, fear will definitely be reduced a lot. But it's a matter of will. If a person's willpower is weak, he will have a lot of knowledge, good feelings that are temporarily unnecessary, and will temporarily change his mind. But how can the will be strong? The first thing is to have a smart mind. Mencius said, "Noble spirit is the greatest strength." "If you don't worry, you will be embarrassed." He added, "I won't back down. Although I am rich in brown, I don't care. " Now that it's shrunk, although there are thousands of people, I still want to go. "As the saying goes, it is not surprising to knock at the door in the middle of the night without doing anything wrong for a lifetime. "A person to keep courage, should start from all actions can be open. This is the first thing. The second thing, don't stick to inferior desires. The Analects of Confucius said: "Confucius said:' I have never seen a righteous man. Or' Shen' Confucius said,' What is right if you want it?' "By the material boring addiction ramble, then, the steel chain will become soft.

In short, it is easy for a person's will to change from strong to weak, and it is extremely difficult to change from weak to strong. If a person is weak-willed, he is finished. I can't afford to be my own master, what else can I do! Being oppressed and enslaved by others, as long as you are willing to struggle, you can finally regain your freedom. Your will has become a slave to your lust, so it is really a disaster, and there is no room for redemption. You have been timid all your life and become poor. Confucius said, "Harmony without flow is strong; Neutrality without impartiality; The state-owned road is strong, and the country has no way; To death, they are strong. " Let me tell you the truth. If you don't do this, you will never be a person. But it is not easy to do this, and we need to do the work of tempering our will all the time. When the will is tempered, it is natural to see what you should do, without hesitation, and then do it. "Although thousands of people have left." Only in this way can we be an indomitable spirit, and we will never have an ugly state of hiding our heads and showing our tails and being left behind. This is the purpose of intentional education, which requires people to be "brave and fearless".

We regard these three things as the standard of being a man. Please think about it. Which one shall I do now? Which one is a little sure? If you can't even do one thing, you are not sure about yourself, alas! That's really dangerous. I'm afraid you can't be a man in the future! Talking about education in schools: the second level of emotional education and the third level of intentional education can be said to be completely absent, leaving only the first level of intellectual education. Even if you know education, you only have so-called common sense and knowledge. As for the general wisdom I said, there is really no wisdom at all. This kind of education of "selling intellectual grocery stores" really makes people shudder to think about his future! Now this kind of education can't be changed for a while. Our lovely young man has no education except him. Gentlemen! Do you want to be a man or not? You should know the danger! No one can save you unless you try to save yourself!
