Chapter 19
Gongsun Chou, a disciple of Mencius, once asked his teacher, "Sir, what is your best skill?" Mencius said: "I know the knack of speech, and I am good at cultivating my righteousness." He replied to Jing Chun and said: "To live in such a vast place in the world, one must establish a position in the world and walk the avenue of the world. If you are an official, you will follow the wishes of the people. If you are not an official, you will stick to your own ambitions."When you are rich, you can't indulge yourself; when you are poor, you can't change your ambition; if you are powerful, you can't make me submit. This is called a man of integrity. "What many modern men lack most is this kind of righteousness. Look around us, some men are dull-eyed and shrinking, small-minded, narrow-minded, domineering and self-righteous, especially like to please the powerful; It is a kind of sadness. We not only need to have righteousness as an individual, but also a country and a nation. This kind of righteousness is a great force that unites and inspires the people. It is the country and the nation. An important spiritual pillar for the prosperity of the nation. There is such a passage in the American TV film "Band of Brothers": When the endless ragged German surrender soldiers walked past several victorious American soldiers in neat steps, one of the American soldiers said: "These Germans are so arrogant even after losing a battle, such a nation is not to be underestimated.

"As a man, if you have righteousness at the age of 20, you should maintain it at the age of 30; if you were timid and indecisive when you were young, you should cultivate and uphold the righteousness in your body at the age of 30. Because after the age of 30, it will be much more difficult for you to do great things and become an indomitable person. A good man must have a whole body of integrity. Only with integrity can he stand up to strong winds and waves, and only with integrity can he stand up to worldly rumors , Only with righteousness can we withstand the temptation of interests. Only a righteous person can achieve great things! 2. A man with a bad temper has the shortest life, and the secret of longevity is to cultivate the mind. It is a very angry type. It is recommended that you read history and "read history to show your ambitions". When the pattern and mind are developed, you can not only stay away from liver disease, but also become a saint-like figure. Isn't it a double-winner! Grumpy men always like to get angry. In fact, getting angry is a kind of stupid behavior to punish yourself by taking other people's wrong things. Why do you say that? Let me tell you one by one. Chinese medicine believes that anger hurts the liver. " Su Wen·Linglan Secret Code commented on the liver in this way: "The liver is an official of the general, and he has no plans. "The liver is the general's officer in the body. It is responsible for fighting for the body. It is naturally strong and violent. Any foreign enemy that does not belong to the human body, the liver will immediately deal with it.

With so many conditions in the human body that require the liver to cope, the liver is also the most vulnerable.Anger is the will of the liver, and the liver can express people's anger and other emotional activities. Therefore, excessive anger and excessive anger are most likely to damage the liver.When many men are overly angry, they destroy the normal and comfortable psychological environment of the body, causing liver qi to go against, and yin and blood to not hide.Some people will blush and have thick necks and headaches when they are angry. Some people will cause high blood pressure and stroke after being angry, and some even die under the anger!Getting angry can cause other problems.Modern medicine believes that sudden death from apoplexy prefers men with violent tempers.A study by American scientists showed that men with violent tempers are not only prone to strokes, but also prone to sudden death, and the dangers these people face are even greater than those of the so-called Type A personality.Why is this so?The results of the study tell us that male friends with violent tempers are more likely to develop ventricular fibrillation than those with calm tempers.In the United States, about 200 million people experience this condition.Although this symptom does not pose a great threat to many people, it can increase the risk of stroke.Because ventricular fibrillation prevents the heart's two upper chambers from pumping all of the blood efficiently, a blockage can form as a result, leading to a stroke.The study also found that men with a violent temper had a 20 percent higher risk of sudden death compared with those with a calm temper. "Su Wen · Bi Lun" said: "Staticness will hide the spirit, and impetuosity will perish." Therefore, if you want to control your temper, you need to cultivate your mind.

There are many ways to cultivate the mind and spirit. In addition to the meditation we mentioned in the yoga section, you can also refer to the following methods: (1) Keeping the spirit inside.It is indeed very difficult to keep a man's mind in a state of less thinking, less desire, indifferent and tranquil. It requires concentration, concentration of thoughts, being in a state of tranquility and refreshment for a period of time, and slowly approaching this direction. (2) Cultivate morality and character.Don't be too sad and depressed in adversity, and don't be overjoyed and arrogant when you are proud.Usually cultivate some hobbies, such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, fishing, travel, music, gardening, Qigong, etc., to nourish the mind with pleasure. (3) Harmonize the seven emotions.Usually to maintain an optimistic attitude, to avoid negative emotions.We say that if you can not be angry, you will not be angry. If you feel that you are the angry type, I suggest you read the history and "read the history to show your ambition".When the pattern and mind are developed, you can not only stay away from liver disease, but also become a saint-like figure. Isn't it a double win! 3. It is commendable for a big man to bear psychological tension with an indifferent attitude, learn to face setbacks calmly, and learn to maintain an indifferent state of mind in the face of difficulties.It is an art of living to accomplish difficult things with an indifferent attitude. A 30-year-old man shoulders important social and family responsibilities, is the main force in all walks of life, and is the pillar of the family, with multiple social roles.

However, due to various subjective and objective factors, many men often encounter setbacks and failures in their careers, and suffer from high-intensity mental tension and psychological pressure for a long time, so their physical and mental health are seriously threatened.When you find a man suddenly changes around the age of 30, it does not mean that his menopause is coming early, but that he is aware of his own worries.At this time, he began to be afraid of losing his job, afraid of changing the status quo, and hated not being respected by young people.His unrestrained, uninhibited and stalwart in the past are long gone.If he becomes self-willed or caters to his superiors, it is just a humble thought of the rest of his life, which is pitiful. How can a 30-year-old man change that?Keeping an indifferent attitude is actually the best way. If you care too much about everything, you will be hindered.It is commendable to learn to face setbacks calmly and to maintain a calm state of mind in the face of difficulties.It is an art of living to accomplish difficult things with an indifferent attitude.It is also busy, some people feel exhausted and out of breath, while others feel very fulfilled and at ease.As long as you have a leisurely and indifferent heart, even if you are busy, tired, and difficult, life will still be full of poetry.In life, everyone will have times when their careers are not going well, and there will also be times when they encounter setbacks.Setbacks are terrible, but they are inevitable in life. A life without setbacks is not a real life.Those who are depressed and frustrated when encountering adversity are immature and superficial, and those who are anxious all day long when things go wrong are often difficult to take on great responsibilities.

Personal life and career will inevitably encounter various difficulties. If we maintain an indifferent attitude, laugh at setbacks, respond sensitively to changes in the environment in a timely manner, and be good at turning disadvantages into advantages, we can easily get rid of failures.If you lack this kind of strong strength, setbacks will defeat you in turn, become a tool to destroy your beliefs, and become insurmountable difficulties in your life.In order not to let setbacks block your progress, you must learn to face up to the reality, and have a correct view of society, life, and your own situation.To deal with setbacks, you should also be mentally prepared, neither blindly optimistic nor negative.Strengthen your confidence and realize your own value in constantly overcoming setbacks.Of course, we should not just be lonely heroes.A person's power is limited after all, you should also listen to the opinions of people around you, who will give you a pertinent guidance and evaluation.Don't forget, when you are 30 years old, you have pressure, motivation, and charm. The charm of a 30-year-old man is always there, making women admiration and admiration. The calm and sophisticated handling style formed by the experience of a man of this age makes him always have the ability to deal with various complicated situations, especially the indifferent and calm , The attitude of not being surprised by changes is the key to success. ?A warm reminder to benefit for a lifetime: Decompression methods as you like If you feel tired and anxious, you can always come up with the following methods to deal with it: (1) Take a deep breath.Inhale through your nose, inhale as hard as you can, and exhale slowly through your mouth.

It only takes five or six minutes a day to relax your mind. (6) laugh out loud.Some experts say that laughing for 2 minutes has the same relaxing effect as resting for half an hour. (5) Confidence.You can make an appointment with an old friend, find a snack, order a plate of edamame and peanuts, have a glass of beer, and express your anxiety or worry. (3) MUSIC.Appropriate music melodies can stimulate the body to produce more calming endorphins, and you can also roar to the beat. (4) Hot bath.A hot bath can increase blood circulation and relax muscles, thereby calming people down. 5. The men of "Ben 4" should learn to reflect on themselves. Everyone's heart will breed irritability, depression and sadness. Relying on others to comfort is the most common but most ineffective method. Only by learning to reflect on yourself can you activate the potential in your body. It's time for a 3-year-old man to reflect.I once saw such a joke on a blog, which is humorous but not unreasonable: When I was 30 years old, I wrote love poems to my girlfriend and wrote a note: "Are you free tonight?" When I was 20 years old, I called my wife : "I'm very busy tonight." When I was 30 years old, I felt that by the time I was 20, I must have made great contributions to mankind. At the age of 30, when reading books, I began to pay attention to the chronology of celebrities, and I like to subtract the year when the celebrity became famous from the year when he was born.If the number is less than 30, it will be disappointing; if it is more than 30, it will be very happy; when encountering the kind of example where something happens at the age of 30 or 50, I feel that the future will be bright.

At the age of 20, you can line up on the road at night after drinking with a group of friends and piss. At the age of 30, two friends got prostatitis. When I was 20 years old, I weighed 120 catties. When I was 30 years old, I weighed 145 catties. When I was 20 years old, I used 10 hours to write 1000 lines of poetry on a very special kind of paper, the kind that a classmate's mother brought back from the hospital to record the electrocardiogram.On the back of other people's heartbeats, I write with excitement. When I was 30 years old, I had a computer, I could type very fast, and I was served with good cigarettes and tea, but I often couldn’t write a few words for an hour, like a constipated person sitting on a gold-plated toilet. ... just look at these!These are worthy of reflection for every 30-year-old man!When a man reaches the age of 30, the most important thing is to learn to examine and reflect on himself.You have to reflect on whether there is a problem with your living habits, and why your career is still standing still!No one in the world is perfect, let alone someone who has not made mistakes.When a person makes a mistake, he will usually reflect on himself, but some 30-year-old men just talk casually and perfunctorily, but do not practice it. The result of self-reflection is also futile.Therefore, when a man is thirty, he must not only learn to be a man, but also be able to reflect on himself, and really do it.If there is a problem with our living habits, we can get rid of bad living habits and learn good ones; if we encounter setbacks in our career, we must learn to sum up the lessons to prepare for a comeback.

When there is a problem, it is necessary to summarize it and resolve it, rather than avoiding the problem.In life, it is not ridiculous for us to fall once in a while, what is ridiculous is that we fall in the same place every time.People are not afraid of making mistakes, the key is to know the mistakes and be able to correct them.Every mistake we make, we must summarize and analyze it, so as to avoid repeating the same mistakes next time.In this way, mistakes become experiences.In a way, these experiences are more valuable than the final results.From this perspective, introspection is actually a learning ability, and the process of introspection is a learning process.If you can constantly reflect on yourself and try to find a solution to the problem, from which you can understand the lessons of failure and the root of imperfection, and make corrections with all your strength, so that you can be sober in reflection, distinguish right from wrong in reflection, and become wise in reflection .

In life, who can guarantee not to make mistakes?In order to achieve a certain goal, any mistake is allowed as long as it is positive and does not ruin things.Those who dare to make mistakes are often the easiest to succeed.Because he is always fearless and dares to try different methods from various angles, even from a mathematical point of view, his probability of success is higher than others.Self-reflection is a further step in thinking, and only those who are willing to reflect will make progress. As the saying goes, "a wise man seeks everything from himself, and a fool always seeks from others."Only when a man is good at introspection can he have more chances of success.Everyone has irritability, depression and sadness in their hearts. Relying on others to comfort them is the most common but ineffective way. Only by learning to reflect on yourself can you activate the potential in your body.
