After Reading Mencius' Dedicated Articles
Today, I read Mencius and his special article "What is a righteous life", and I have a little feeling: Mencius said "eclectic", and Mr. Nan interpreted it as not complaining about heaven or people. The real accomplishment lies in patience, and you can really detect your own mistakes. "Don't be angry, don't feel guilty", sometimes you will be angry with others when you know you are wrong, but you don't know it or reflect on it. This kind of mistake is also often encountered in our daily work and life. We always find many subjective and objective reasons for our mistakes, but seldom reflect on ourselves. Often in order to cover up a mistake, I made up many lies and wasted a lot of time. Sometimes when a department makes mistakes in its work, they seldom look for problems from their own management, and always focus on the problems themselves and the person directly responsible for the mistakes. If they can think more every time, they can find out the defects of the system or process caused by the problem, improve the system and process as much as possible, and prevent the same problem from happening again. Compared with financial work, I personally think that financial case analysis is a very good tool to improve the skills of financial personnel. One of the main tasks of the financial management department of our center is to collect and update financial cases. We should not forget the lessons of the past. Through the lessons of the past, the system and process will be revised in time, and the financial personnel will know the harm of some practices through case training. "It's an old friend of know life who doesn't stand under the dangerous wall". For financial personnel, risk control is the first; If the risk is too high, we must try our best to remind and prevent managers from making decisions; Never do some risky financial treatment in order to express yourself, which will bring potential harm to the company.
Reflecting on mistakes is also a process of improving one's self-cultivation. Many times we don't realize that our mistakes are mainly due to the lack of self-cultivation, and there are many reasons for the lack of self-cultivation, but the objective reasons are mainly the lack of work experience and knowledge. This year, the rotation system and project team work system advocated by the company are to help managers solve the problem of lack of work experience and knowledge, so that managers can understand the characteristics of different positions through different job experiences, accumulate work experience in all aspects, transition from professional talents to compound comprehensive management talents, improve managers' learning ability and lay a good foundation for the construction of the company's management team.

There are many people who do without thinking, learn without observing, and don't know their way all their lives.
People should not be shameless; Shameless shame, shameless.
Shame on the National People's Congress (NPC) is useless to those who are good at changing the environment. If you are not ashamed, if you are not human, if you are human?
Explanation:
A person's life has a proper path, but it is not introspection and self-study, but fascination with things and outward pursuit. He drifted with the tide all his life and didn't know where to go, so he became an ordinary person, that is, an ordinary person and a sentient being.
If people do not know when and where to reflect on their mistakes, their morality will not improve. If they can always reflect on themselves and find their faults, then the life they live on this day is shameful, that is, they have a sense of shame. If you make a mistake, you don't reflect on yourself. Instead, you defend yourself, thinking that you are not wrong, and even pushing others, without any sense of shame.
A sense of shame is the biggest key to studying in Germany. The same is true of Buddhism, which believes that shame and shame are very important good deeds in the practice of life. Some people, very smart, have done something wrong, but they use their brains to defend themselves skillfully and make sure that they are not wrong. Such people are dishonest and cunning. The word "shame" is of no use to such people. When you are inferior to others, how can you be like others if you are not ashamed? Everyone has a competitive mentality. Seeing that others are better than themselves, they are trapped in their own bad habits, but they just feel inferior and refuse to make progress. In fact, you don't have to be afraid of being inferior to others. As long as you have a sense of shame and work hard on your own, you can always reach the same level as others or even surpass them in 10 day and 1000 day. However, ordinary people often don't admit that they are shameless. On the contrary, it is easy to have inferiority complex. In fact, they can have a sense of inferiority, which is already a motive for shame. But we must show courage, don't be carried away by our inferiority complex, and strive to make progress in virtue and study, and do such things, especially cultivate our own mind.

Compared with the ancients, the continuous development of science and technology in modern society has brought infinite convenience to people's life and work. My experience is that nothing is unexpected and impossible. To say that the happiness index of modern people should be very high. But the fact in China is that people who have no money are unhappy, those who have money are unhappy, those who have no power are unhappy, and those who have power are still unhappy. Why? Because everyone has no sense of security, let's take the air and food that everyone depends on for survival. People don't know how much toxic gas they inhale every day. I don't know what chemical elements I ate. In order to distinguish these, people must master PM2.5 indicators, preservatives and additives. ...
Where is the shameless heart that the sages said? Where is the shame? On the issue of food safety, morality and conscience have completely lost the bottom line.
Fortunately, we also have Brother Youtiao, Lift Brother and countless volunteers and good people. Under the guidance of these moral models, everyone should be kind and ashamed. When thinking and making comments, we must think about whether this can be worthy of our parents, ancestors and our own conscience. Can you stop others from criticizing me? Restrain yourself with internal and external forces.
I believe that as long as people have a sense of shame, they will naturally keep the ceremony and fulfill their obligations, the benefits of enterprises will naturally improve and the social environment will naturally be harmonious. So start from now, start from yourself.

Before thinking about how to conceive this article, a little thing suddenly hit my mind, so I thought it would be good to use such a story as the introduction of the article. The ancients said: "Articles are natural, and wonderful hands are occasionally obtained." Many people, many things, many words, naturally, you write a sentence, they can't wait to run out and consciously line up. If you don't want to record it, I'm afraid it's not up to you.
One day, I was talking about reading with a young girl who just entered the society. She asked me what books I should read to make my life clear and not confused. I think this is a problem that many people who try to talk to themselves will face. They all live in this changeable world and don't want to be assimilated too thoroughly by it. They always want to leave a desk for themselves at last. After she asked this question, I told her almost without thinking that I would read all kinds of books written by Mr. nan huaijin. Maybe at first, you can't fully understand what he said, and sometimes you can't keep up with his ideas, but as long as you can read it several times, even if you can only understand a few pages of a book, it is rewarding. She asked, I always feel that those ancient books are no longer needed, so why should I read them? So I told her that reading is very important to solve all kinds of puzzles you encounter in your current life. Do you think the books written by these writers have completely awakened you after reading them, or have made you more confused? She said it was the latter. I told her it was right. Now many writers can't even solve their own ideological problems. How can they help you solve your problem? A confused person, how can his books be coherent and firm?
When it comes to a well-organized and firm book, I have to mention this book "Mencius with all my heart" written by Teacher Nan. Recently, I watched "Mencius teaches self-cultivation" along the train of thought of Teacher Nan.
Mencius said: it's not fate, just accept it. So, know how to live, don't stand under the rock wall. It's fate to do one's utmost to die; The shackles of the dead are not the shackles of life.
Everything is destined to be good, and a natural death is the right life. Therefore, people who know their own destiny will not stand under the dangerous wall. A normal death trying to walk the streets is an active life, not a normal death, torture or suicide. Are abnormal lives. Mencius became a saint, as can be seen from the articles he devoted. The meaning of this sentence is not to let people passively adapt to the destiny, but to be in the Tao all the time in their own thoughts, ideas, words and actions. This is the real destiny. Once this is done, "I will die for a long time, so I will practice myself." Whether it is good or bad, whether it is long or short-lived, there is nothing to regret and be dissatisfied with.
So what is the enlightenment of Mencius' cultivation? As an accidental lucky thought, how should the self consciously exist in this world be cultivated? If you want to come, you must always keep your thoughts, ideas, words and deeds in the Tao, and do evil and good; No matter whether you are at the top of the mountain or at the bottom of the valley, always remember "What do you mean by ten eyes and ten fingers?" And if we want to sum it up, we have to attribute it to Mencius' 16-character heart biography: "People's hearts are only in danger, and Taoist hearts are only tiny, but they are exquisite and tolerant."
Article 4
"Heart, man's beichen also. Save the heart, raise the sex, and do things in the sky, so use the title of' dedication'. Zhao Zhu pointed out the theme of this article at the beginning-deliberately cultivate your nature and know your life.
Things are like things, and life is like Upright in the lake. The inner watch is the sail, and the departure of the course depends on the guidance of the sail.
If your heart is simple and clean, you will get a quiet and stable life; If you have too much resentment, you will often feel that your mind is full of stones, then you are heading for an endless sea of greed.
Although my heart is a mirror, there are too many fallen flowers in the world. Self-cultivation, the most difficult to control is the inner desire and external temptation. Some people give up virtue because of wealth, while others give up wealth because of virtue. Maybe each other thinks the other is not worth it. Why is there such a difference?
The ups and downs of the world are rooted, and we should maintain inner stability and cultivate our morality, which depends entirely on ourselves and can't blame others. A person can be true to himself without putting on airs, and he will be really happy. If a person can put himself in others' shoes, he will be benevolent. Those who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, take advantage of opportunities, abandon principles, and disregard reputation are all incorrigible people.
Life is life, and no one can persist in living for a hundred years. What we can do is to respect our hearts, set goals in life and go forward bravely. Adversity can make people form the good habit of vigilance and worry. When everything is too smooth, people will ignore thinking. Born in sorrow, died in happiness. Only by keeping their hearts and cultivating their nature can we be normal and correct in everything.
We are just ordinary people, not saints, not gods. In just a few decades, we may not leave a lasting impression on the world, but we must not leave a lasting impression. The only thing we can do is to be a good friend, a good colleague, a good husband, a good father, a good son and be true to ourselves.
chapter five
"Can't three years, and a slap, small work; Let the rice flow and drink, but ask toothless; This is called ignorance. "
Mencius mentioned that as a child, he could not be filial for three years, but asked other younger generations to be filial and blamed them for not crying; I don't pay attention to eating etiquette, but I pay attention to whether teeth will fall out when others chew bones; This is so-called ignorance of the times. People don't know themselves, but they care about other irrelevant people and things.
At work, as managers, we sometimes make similar mistakes. I seldom reflect on what I didn't do well. It is to ask or question why subordinates are not doing well and make our work passive. This is the key point that we don't grasp the problem, don't know our mistakes, but ask others. As the old saying goes, "If you don't do whatever you want, look for problems from yourself first, which will help us find out the reasons why we didn't do well, reflect on the gains and losses in our previous work, and find the right direction or method for our future work. The so-called man who knows the time is a hero, and the man who changes his plane is a hero. In our work and life, we must think more about our own shortcomings and mistakes, and sum up the successful experiences and lessons in the past. The so-called "persistent teacher" must analyze the subjective and objective reasons of shortcomings and mistakes, and get to the bottom of it, so as to truly make failures or mistakes a step towards success.
Article 6
Mencius with all his heart is the last article and the conclusion of the book. Mencius often uses some complete short stories and fables to express his views. And these short stories and fables have gradually become our common idioms today.
Mencius believes that teaching and learning knowledge, just like plant growth, has its own laws, which must be gradual and not eager for success. In the same way, a person's growth should have corresponding laws, and he should pay attention to when and what to do. Mencius told us to follow the law in doing things, but also reminded people that everything should go with the flow and adapt to the speed and direction of the development of things themselves.
When people do something, they are often too impetuous and impatient because they are eager for success. When they rush forward, they lose their direction and center of gravity, and they can't grasp the speed of things, but they are more likely to get lost. If we put too much energy and effort into a thing, we will have more hopes and expectations, and once the development of things exceeds our expectations and imagination, it will be more difficult for us to accept the facts in front of us than when we treat things with a normal mind.
People must pay attention to the cultivation of mentality and personality, as mentioned in the chapter "With Me and Without Me": A person's academic accomplishment has been achieved, and even if he is unlucky all his life, his personality will not fade. Don't belittle his personality just because he has no money, it will be a complete failure. Even if there is poverty for a certain period of time, there is no need to retreat. As long as you make sure that your efforts are not wrong and strengthen your confidence, you will eventually get good returns.
Therefore, in our daily work and life, we must pay attention to the study and promotion of personality charm. On the one hand, this kind of promotion should be learned from books. In books, we should read with a "grateful heart", read more articles about Chinese studies, carefully understand the contents of the book, compare it with our own actual situation, and constantly correct the shortcomings, so as to improve personal cultivation.
In addition to personal cultivation, I think we should also pay attention to the maturity of personal mentality. Just like a truth in the book, we tend to be impatient and impetuous in one thing. As the general manager of the branch, sometimes there will be a situation of being eager for success because of sprinting for the task of the month, and there will also be impatience in the mentality. In fact, this mentality not only has a bad influence on the completion of the task, but also has a very unfavorable factor for team building.
Through the study of the contents in the book, I fully understand the importance of mentality. The maturity of a person's mentality determines the happiness index of a person's life and the platform for career development. If we can improve our mentality to a certain extent, it will be of great help to many aspects of the individual.
I don't think we should be impatient when anything happens. We should treat it with a normal heart, think calmly and find a way to solve it. We will certainly be able to handle the problems well, and more importantly, we can set an example for the employees, which will greatly promote the team's mentality and cohesion.
Article 7
People's hearts are only in danger, and their hearts are only weak, but they are unique and tolerant.
When reading this book, I read the telepathy of the last word 16 many times. Because I have been reading books like Mencius, Gong Sunchou and A Brief Introduction to the Former University intermittently before, it seems that every book will mention the central idea of "keeping things inside and being king outside" and "keeping things inside and using them outside". Repeated reading of these sixteen words further proves that a simple word has many meanings when reading the original words of the University, and each word and sound represents an idea. Why do you want to write like this is very learned, which I have never learned before, so the opening part benefited a lot.
The history books say that "people's hearts are only in danger", which means that people's hearts are changeable, and there are often more evil thoughts than good thoughts, which is very terrible. So how to turn evil thoughts into good thoughts, evil thoughts into righteous thoughts and evil thoughts into good thoughts? Through self-reflection, do it wholeheartedly, practice the doctrine of the mean and simple understanding.
"Internal cultivation and external use" means enriching one's internal knowledge and self-cultivation, taking the road of sages and engaging in the great cause of saving the world and people. We can't talk about taking the road of sages, let alone saving the world, but through reading and studying, as employees and parents, we can make our thoughts and behaviors appropriate, from internal knowledge and ideological cultivation to external self-interest and altruism, and take "seeking the mean in everything" as the criterion of our ideal life.
Physical and mental cultivation is the foundation of being a man. Each of us will play many roles in our life. Employees, parents, parents' children, and members of a society should try their best to play their role in whatever position, which requires self-cultivation, which is of course very difficult. Because people's thoughts and emotions are very subtle and dangerous, everyone has desires, such as curiosity and competitiveness, which can be summarized as desires. Sometimes improper desires can ruin everything. Our own thoughts lead us to be right. If we lead ourselves to be bad, we will be bad. Therefore, we should balance in life and guide our own thoughts.
Mencius said, "He who does his best knows his nature. If you know its nature, you will know its nature. Keep your heart and cultivate your nature, then things will be natural. If you don't live long enough, you will cultivate yourself, so you will achieve life. " Mencius said: to do your best is to realize your own nature. To realize one's own nature is to understand the destiny. Keep your kindness and nature to treat your destiny. No matter how long or short you live, you don't change your attitude, just cultivate yourself and wait for your fate. This is the right way to treat fate.
Some time ago, my friend called and said that life was very tired and unhappy. We discussed the word happiness. How can we be happy? Perhaps everyone's perception is different, and the definition is naturally different. Through discussion, we all agree that if we have a good attitude, we will be happy. In this world, ups and downs are inevitable, and nine times out of ten things are unpleasant. If we can't adjust our mentality, life will easily come to a deadlock, which will inevitably bring us extra pain. Therefore, you have to calm down, find out your inner root and adjust this "root" so that you can "know its nature".
Time flies, and we all get old. From the beginning to the end, it is inevitable. This is everyone's road, and we can't escape it, and we can't avoid it. In your life, if you think about it carefully, you should try your best to live wholeheartedly! Play the role we need to play at every stage of our lives.

? Mencius and dedication? With the topic of "wholeheartedly", briefly point out the key points. Mencius said at the beginning: "He who does his best knows his nature. If you know its nature, you will know its sky. "
Heather said, what is "dedication"? In other words, all spirits and thoughts are exhausted to do it, and "exhaustion" is the end point, to the end point. After one thing is finished, success or failure is another question. People who do it are always exhausted. In the Confucian theory of "understanding with one heart and one mind", Mencius' cultivation kung fu is "patience" and the cultivation of being a man and doing things. "Mind knowledge" can also be said to be a static state, which makes the whole practice principle and effort. Then what is "tempted"? The degree of concentration and wisdom between temptation and mind in the event of an accident; "Endurance" is absolutely certain. Borrowing a term from Buddhism is "Tathagata". It is impossible for a person to cultivate patience without going through all kinds of hardships.
There is a chapter in this book called The Way Out, which is a very interesting dialogue.
Mencius told Gao Zi that the paths on the mountain that are only suitable for feet are people. In order to mow the grass or chop wood, he slowly chose a better place to rest and walked on a barren hill with no road. When there were more people, he made a way. As long as no one walks on this road at regular intervals, thatch will grow back and bury the road. Mencius said to Gao Zi, now you have neither a clear mind nor sex, just because you have a pile of thatch in your heart, and your mind is blocked by thatch, and there is no way out. Mencius said here that the heart should be used, but it should be blocked if it is not used. The more you use your mind, the more brilliant it will be, and it will be blocked when you are not using it. Many people learn Buddhism, learn to meditate, and desperately "get rid of delusions." I don't want to move after learning.
To sum up this sharing just now, it can be summarized by "heart and soul" and "heart". Extending to our present life and work, if we can devote ourselves wholeheartedly, the road will always come out.
Last week, manager Shi and I went to a three-day lecture and shared a case of ink weather, which made me very touched.
Ink weather, as everyone should know, is a weather-based APP.
In the early days, ink weather only provided advice on weather and air quality. During its angel and A round of financing, even the founders didn't know how to make profits in the future, but they had a good foundation, that is, a large number of users. Based on this, they successfully raised funds. They are also thinking of countless ways to complete the application of software to the actual landing profit, including social and scene sharing, and they are constantly trying. If you analyze it, first of all, this team is very dedicated, and it is impossible to make a weather forecast with the most fans without dedication. Second, they have been trying which way to go, and they didn't even know where it was. However, a dedicated, dedicated and capable team can always find a way out as long as it can concentrate, stick to it and follow the trend. Ink Weather went online in 2009, Android version 20 10, IOS version 20 1 1,14. The number of users of ink weather exceeded 300 million. Here we focus on a few numbers. First of all, each version of them took more than 1 year to launch. Although not as fast as Xiaomi, the product is well made and the user experience is good. Second, the number of users is even close to WeChat. So they don't have a profit model, and some people will invest in them and are willing to invest in them. Although there is no interaction and contact between users of this kind of APP, although I don't know when I can make a profit, I don't even know how to make a profit.
The ink was finally shot, and all investors were shocked. They made a hardware called Air Fruit, which can let you know the air quality in your home and office in real time, not just PM2.5, real-time and interactive. They launched a round of 7-day crowdfunding among fans, each episode was 999 yuan, 7 days, and 654.38+00,000 users supported it. What concept? He has been concentrating on making good air quality information and making every effort to create the impression of an air quality expert, which has been recognized by many fans. In other words, more people recognize him as the authority of air quality release. On this basis, gorgeous turn, enter the hardware market, a device will achieve a scale of nearly 654.38+0 billion. Speaking of this, everyone thinks that the ink weather is really good, investors make a lot of money, and the speed of making money is too scary. Well, let's see what's even scarier. Ink Weather plans to invest money to set up an offline promotion team and invest in air quality monitoring in public areas such as hotels, restaurants and cafes. That is to say, these places will have this equipment in the future. When we want to find a hotel to stay in, besides Ctrip, you may also look at the ink weather, because it will tell you which hotel has good air quality, no formaldehyde and low carbon dioxide. If there were a Starbucks and a COSTA, Starbucks had the lowest PM2.5 and the other one was high, which one would you go to? After the future layout is completed, it will be possible for him to control a considerable number of entrances and realize the guidance of consumption flow. It is unknown how many sectors will be derived after 65.438 billion yuan, and its market value is incalculable.
Looking at this company at this time, in just seven or eight years, it has developed rapidly and made a lot of money for itself and investors. However, we must see that, first of all, a group of dedicated people can achieve today's achievements by working hard and conforming to the trend of the times. I didn't make any money in the first five years. I lived by borrowing money, and then by financing. This is very uncomfortable and painful. I can always live in a field without wavering. How many people can persist? How many people can hold on?
I've tried different roads, but there are no roads. The road is your own. Can they get to today without trying thousands of times? Many people died on the road. When we combine this case with this book, we can see not only the skills shared in class, but also the indomitable spirit and attitude of the founder and team. Not persistent, not successful.
Of course, share their skills:
First of all, gather people and realize people's gathering through free products; The emphasis here is free;
The second step is to involve people and do a good job together. In this process, continue to focus, less is more. This is very difficult, and most people can't resist the temptation of the outside world in this process;
Third, after the product is completed, cross-border profits will be made, and software companies will do the hardware. This means that the wool is on the pig and the dog pays the bill.
Fourth, through pre-sale and crowdfunding sales, the capital occupation is zero and the inventory goods are zero.
Fifth, under the Tropic of Cancer, to achieve the unification of online and offline, and to realize the entrance of innovative forms, it is not to find someone else's entrance, but to create a diversion entrance.
The foundation of all this is to be dedicated, to see the hope of the future in the most difficult time, to get through it and not to die on the road.
To paraphrase Ma Yun's words as the conclusion, you must have a dream, in case it comes true. The earth project is now in the most difficult period, encourage yourself!
