"All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance; There is the Great Wall, and it is just without desire. " This is what the national hero Lin Zexu encouraged himself. I understand that the sea contains hundreds of rivers because of its wide measurement; The mountain is so tall and straight because there is no worldly desire to intrigue.
I think this passage is very reasonable. First of all, he told us that a person must have the spirit of tolerance if he wants to succeed. No one is always smooth sailing, there will always be difficulties of one kind or another; Similarly, in a group, everyone has some big or small defects. If you stare at other people's shortcomings, it is not conducive to collective unity and teamwork. Therefore, tolerance means seeing the strengths of others and discovering the strengths of others, and seeing the strangeness; Similarly, Lin Xiangru, a famous figure in history, can tolerate Lian Po's misunderstanding, which leads to the beautiful talk of "harmony without difference", so people should be as tolerant as "all rivers run into the sea"; Similarly, this sentence also tells us that people should not be too greedy. Everyone should have a firm belief, but people's energy is limited. People are born with worldly desires. Too much desire can make people lose their way and drift away from their ideals. Then the shortcut to realize one's belief lies in strengthening this direction and abandoning other distractions. This is an indomitable ambition, and this is an unswerving spirit. To achieve great things, you must have this temperament.
