Zeng Guofan's Secret of Twelve Characters

Zeng Guopan's twelve-character secret is: respect wins laziness, righteousness wins desire; Knowing the public and keeping the mother.

1. Respect victory and laziness. Many people have had the idea of "being lazy" in their work and life, and feel that it is no big deal to relax for a while. However, if you relax more, people will be more and more slack. Even if something is in front of you, you are unwilling to do it, and you will have to wait until the last minute to start in a hurry. As a result, the final result is often not so satisfactory.

2. Justice triumphs over desire. When some small achievements are made, many people will be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. In the face of temptation, they will not refuse, and eventually lose their capital, and everything will return to the original point. The world is always full of all kinds of desires, which makes people fall. You think it's just for fun. In fact, when desire tears open the mouth of reason, bad consequences are quietly brewing.

3. Know the public and stay with the mother. Zeng Guofan once said in his family letter: "The way of heaven and earth should be both rigid and flexible, and should not be neglected. If you are too soft, you will be discouraged. If it is too rigid, it will be folded. " His point of view came from Laozi. Once he showed his disciples his tongue and said with a smile, "I lost all my hard teeth, but my soft tongue is still there!" " "
