What is it to practice both inside and outside to guard against arrogance and rashness?

Sometimes, even the whole world takes the wisdom of life as truth. Times have changed and some people have raised objections. It is said that foreign scholars have put forward different views on Darwin's theory of evolution. In my opinion, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing, and the river of truth will never stop.

-Ji Xianlin's "Grasping a Problem for Life"

Exquisite solution refers to people's inner mind, that is, mental outlook, while external solution refers to people's external performance. Being neither arrogant nor impetuous, being open-minded and not living in success is undoubtedly an internal beauty, while arrogance is an external ugliness.

Ji Xianlin said: "Academic problems" are sometimes difficult to draw conclusions at one time, and it takes lifelong persistence to get more and more accurate and reliable conclusions. This is the concrete embodiment of the inner beauty of modesty and enterprising, "guard against arrogance and rashness".

Ji Xianlin's modest inner quality and external tolerance are worth learning from ordinary people.

Some people compare it like this: a modest person, like a turtle, lays thousands of eggs but keeps silent, only burying them in the sand, expecting to hatch more "little lives". Proud people, like hens laying eggs, are eager to tell the world every time they lay an egg.

If vanity is the food of the proud and superficiality is the drink of the proud, imagine what a person who eats and drinks will look like.

I don't know that I didn't wear the medal myself, but I need others to praise my merits. Self-righteous people are often the most boring people. Ignorant people. Pride can only be the product of ignorance and boredom. Between heaven and earth, modesty is the way to carry happiness; Arrogance is full, and when it is full, it will fall! Like a bucket falling down, the connotation is empty.

Life is like sailing, and complacency, arrogance and arrogance are the three reefs of life. If you are not careful, you will bump into a rock and capsize.

Don't assume that others are not as clever as you in dealing with people-they may be smarter than you.

People's qualities are like crystals. The brighter they are, the brighter they are, and the more they can reflect the sunlight.

Don't be a person who values vanity over virtue. The end result of being above others is often being thrown down.

When a person overestimates his importance, it is best to let him think that people lived well before he was born and they still lived well after he died.

A person who ignores the opposition of the world is not only arrogant, but also presumptuous. Arrogant people are similar to madness. If a person stubbornly opposes the opinions of the majority, it is because of his arrogance and vanity, not because of their lack of knowledge or virtue, as they told him. The nature of arrogant people, like powder to beauty and political achievements to officials, is to satisfy face.

People who are extremely arrogant tend to be complacent and usually confine themselves to a narrow shell and think that everything they have done has been completed. In reality, on the contrary, people will encounter all kinds of dangers, and arrogance is the most terrible one.

People who stand on the flat ground will not be killed by falling.

The most terrible situation is to strut in the dangerous peak, saying only that the weather is cool and the canyon is not deep. This is a self-portrait of a proud man. In fact, as long as a stone at the foot is loose, there is a danger of rolling into the abyss, but those arrogant people are completely ignorant and intoxicated by the magnificent scenery and lofty sentiments of "stones from other mountains are dwarfs in the world". . As everyone knows, it is at this time that the stone under your feet sometimes becomes loose.

In addition to mortals, through the ages, a word of "pride" has also destroyed many heroes in the world!

During the Three Kingdoms period, Mi Fei was very literary and famous in the society. However, he is so arrogant that no one cares about him except himself. Can't tolerate others, and others can't tolerate him. So he "died of pride", and his spirit and body turned to dust early.

Guan Yu, Guan Gong and Master Guan's carelessness in Jingzhou is also the most classic story of pride and failure in history.

Yu Can's death was described as a swan song. He was loyal all his life, almost perfect. Just for a word "pride", losing land and beheading. Although it is amazing, it has sounded the alarm for future generations. Such a hero is still arrogant, and my generation is not qualified to be proud.

If you are not arrogant and impetuous in this life, you can still express your feelings calmly at the age of 80 and 90. Isn't this a great blessing in life? ...

If you find a person around you who likes to talk about himself very much, his lifestyle must be to ignore others forever. Although such a person never thinks of anyone, he thinks that all mankind should share his worries. This kind of person, everything is self-centered.

Some people say that such people lie to others by arrogance and to themselves by confidence. They are most afraid that the Ming people will pierce this window paper. Then, the only effective way to make an arrogant person see his face clearly is to take the arrogance of others as his mirror.

Their greatest weakness is that they often feel better than others.

In the eyes of others, a self-righteous person, even if it rains from the sky, can't flow into his heart.

As a result, most people, such as Chen Yi, said, "Don't blow it, and complacency will turn the tables. Looking at how many things in ancient and modern times, from humble to luxurious. "

Lao She said: "Complacency is our terrible trap; Besides, we dug this trap ourselves. "

"Great men are more modest, and little people are more proud. The sun is covered with simple light clothes, but the white clouds are covered with splendid skirts. " Tagore's words hit the nail on the head

The meaning and value of life, fate and destiny, life and life, tolerance, success, contentment, shame, pressure, longevity, ethics, etc., can only be reflected in profound cultivation and will never breed in complacency. Mr. Ji Xianlin has said all the above. Let's review and add some new insights.

Franklin said: "Nothing is more difficult than overcoming the pride in people's habits. Although we tried our best to hide it, overcome it and destroy it, in any case, it was unconsciously revealed. "

Proud people are very proud of themselves, as the Englishman Kazri said: "There is no better person and no worse person than him who is truly proud. He doesn't admit the former, and he doesn't care about the latter. "

Some people say that a serious illness in life means a word "pride".

Mao Zedong's view on this is dialectical. He said: "Modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. We should always remember this truth. "

Under the influence of his thoughts, Wang Jinxi, an oil worker who dared to jump into the ice water and mix cement with his body, described his pride as follows: "We can't jump very high as soon as we get results, just like a ball that others can't shoot. The greater the achievement, the more modest and prudent you must be. "

There are also different voices in the condemnation of pride. Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up, said: I have some doubts about the word "pride". Anyone who is a little self-motivated and capable always believes in himself and is a man of his own mind. The more assertive people are, the more confident they are. This is not bad. A little proud. If he is put in the right position, he will be modest, otherwise he will not get along. "Yes, there is also a positive pride, that is, pride in our motherland, pride in our honor, and pride in our confidence is also a noble thing.

How to fully understand Ji Lao's thoughts and ways of dealing with people are brilliantly expounded in his expositions, such as "harmony between man and nature, internal and external cultivation", "diligent cultivation, no questions about harvest" and "speaking freely, vast territory and abundant resources".

Mr. Ji Xianlin always looks at problems from the big picture and starts from the small. On the one hand, he saw: "There are too many things to complain about in this world, such as natural disasters, betrayal, fatal diseases, layoffs, the gap between the rich and the poor, mental anxiety and insecurity." And write a book about it. On the other hand, I clarified my point of view: "I wrote this book just to let everyone know what caused the complaint." Why do we complain? What benefits can complaining bring us? How do complaints ruin our lives? I hope all people who read this book can enjoy their present life, become peaceful and happy, and finally change the consciousness of the world. In fact, I feel that people often complain because you are the same. You will notice that another person has these shortcomings, because you have them yourself. If you want to point out someone's negative characteristics, first dig and see if you have the same tendency. Then be grateful and glad that you have the opportunity to detect this shortcoming and cure it. "

In this way, the existence of defects in the world and people's views on defects have an objective basis. This is what people usually say: look at the problem from a developmental perspective.

However, in real life, how can friends, family members, colleagues and employees stop complaining? It is not easy to change your mind.

It's a pity that it's hard for you to change someone else. Sometimes you can't even. Because the process of change is complex and contradictory. People change mostly because they want to change themselves. Franklin's conclusion about asking others to change is that the best advice is to set an example. Mrs Gandhi also said so: We must live as we want others to follow suit. ..... leaders should stand in the front and let others follow.

It is not easy to make progress or achievements on this issue. It is no less than going to the Western Heaven to learn from the scriptures.

There is a Japanese film that describes the process of the Monkey King's spiritual practice. In the film, Tang Sanzang said to the Monkey King: If you want to learn Taoism from me, you must stand in the same place for one hundred days; After standing, kneel for a hundred days; After kneeling, raise your hand for one hundred days; Then immerse yourself in water 100 days, and bake with fire 100 days ... Only if you can stand this test, I will teach you Buddhism. "Wukong" listened. According to Tang Sanzang, he stood still for one hundred days, could not afford to kneel for one hundred days, raised his hands in the air for one hundred days, and dipped in water for one hundred days ... After one hundred days ... the Monkey King also learned his lesson.

Tang Sanzang's condition of "practicing both inside and outside to guard against arrogance and rashness" is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. The cultivation of perseverance and endurance is a challenge to life.

Difficulties are the beginning of success.

If you back down, you will accomplish nothing.

◆ Persist in winning. Stone is hard, water is soft? Water has penetrated the hard rock, which is the result of perseverance. It may take thousands of years for a drop of water to wear a stone, but it may only take a few rounds to be a man.

A young man went to Microsoft to apply for a job, but the company didn't advertise for a job. Seeing the general manager puzzled, the young man explained in broken English that he was passing by and rushed in. The general manager thought it was very new, so he made an exception and let him try it. The result was unexpected, and the young people did not perform well. He explained that he didn't prepare in advance, and the general manager thought he was just looking for an excuse to go down the stairs, so he casually replied, "Try again when you are ready."

A week later, the young man walked into the door of Microsoft again, and this time he failed. But compared with the first time, his performance is much better. The general manager saw that he was a little tenacious and gave him the same answer as last time: "Try again when you are ready." In this way, the young man stepped into the door of Microsoft five times and was finally hired by the company, becoming the key training object of the company.

In real life:

Perhaps, in our life journey, swamps are everywhere and thorns are everywhere;

Perhaps the scenery we are pursuing will always be mountains and rivers.

Perhaps, our steps forward are always heavy and stumbling;

Perhaps, our devout faith will be entangled in secular dust and fog, but we can't fly freely;

Perhaps, our noble soul can't find the pure land in reality for the time being. ...

Then, why can't we say to ourselves firmly and confidently with the courage of the brave: "Try again!" "

Try again and you may reach the other side of success!
