These two sentences are actually two words that teach people how to stand up for themselves in the world.
The first sentence, keep your mouth shut at the group. This is to tell people to watch their words when they are with others. Some people boast with others, appearing to be open-minded, knowledgeable and rich in accumulation, but they do not know that they give people the impression of being frivolous, superficial and arrogant. Some people get along with others, just care about their own mouths, what they want to say on what, without blocking, without evasion, often unintentionally hurt others. It’s sad that language brings unnecessary trouble to yourself and you don’t know why. People often say that silence is golden, I think it may also be a summary of the experience after the injury.
Silence is golden is an extremely simple language, but contains an extremely intriguing truth.
First of all, the language of silence does not mean that the thinking stops. Deep thoughts often come from the seemingly silent thought process. Some people do not wait for the other side to say the problem, they will talk about their own opinions and ideas, the result of language is not clear, logic is not strict, the talk is not the question, the bull’s head is not the horse’s mouth. The temporary silence of the people, in the silence of active thinking, in listening to the effective trade-offs, the results are often able to seize the key points, the point into gold, as a result of insightful, admirable and convincing.
Secondly, the language of silence does not mean that the idea of emptiness. Silence is a momentum waiting for the process, the silence of the earth is breeding the harvest of autumn, the silence of the eagle is waiting for the wings to fly high, the silence of winter is gathering the beautiful spring. So, silence is for a more powerful outbreak. We often applaud those who succeed, but do not know that they are before the hard work and willingness to be silent, willing to be silent spirit.
As the saying goes, the late success of a great instrument, the sound of a great voice, not a sound is already, a sound is also amazing.
Silence is a quality, is a cultivation, to be a harsh discipline of their own, to be a severe test of their will, to be not humble persistence and patience.
The second sentence, alone to guard the heart. The old saying goes, the heart of a gentleman, the world, not to make people do not know. That is, a gentleman should be open and honest. The hustle and bustle of the world, snobbery and strife, we live in this world, it is inevitable to encounter a lot of things that do not go well, do not go well. How to deal with these things is precisely a serious test of one’s moral cultivation. Therefore, we often need to quietly think about and reflect on these things.
Therefore, whenever it is late at night, look at your heart alone and tell yourself what kind of person you really are, and you will find your true self appearing before your eyes. In this way, you will form a habit, and your realm will be constantly improved. That is why the Analects says, “I have to think about myself three times a day.
When a person is alone and often thinks of the good that others have done for him, you will treat everyone who is good to you well. Then you will be willing to pay for him, you will be willing to connect with him further, and you will make this friendship consolidate and develop.
When a person is alone, often thinking about how good they are to others, you will let your own sense of self-superiority continue to expand, thus losing your true self nature. When he does you a disservice because of a moment, you will feel very aggrieved, feel very uncomfortable in your heart, will find a reason to forcefully punish him, which is not conducive to the perfection of your self-personality, but also not conducive to the harmonious handling of your interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, when you encounter happiness, you have to remember to restrain, because complacency and forgetfulness, forgetfulness hurts, forgetfulness loses its nature. When you encounter confusion, you should not forget to step back thought, because a step back the sea is wide and high.
Let’s say that “keeping your mouth in a group” is like a scholar sitting silently in the corner of the classroom with a smile on his face, listening carefully and kowtowing from time to time like a modest gentleman – as gentle as jade; “keeping your heart alone “is like a central, kind-eyed, high-powered, but calm elder with a heart like water – the top of the sky.
Therefore, “guard your mouth in a group, guard your heart in solitude” is a quality, but also a kind of cultivation, both need to be harsh constraints on themselves, but also need to adhere to and cultivate. The two words “keep” show an elegant image, from the noble quality, the use of high-minded methods.
