What does the sentence "Gentleman's trip, quiet to cultivate one's morality, frugality to cultivate one's morality" inspire you?

Enlighten and cultivate one's morality without being influenced by the outside world. Cultivate one's morality with thrift and diligence. Cultivate one's morality with efforts from indifference and tranquility, and avoid laziness and impatience.

This sentence comes from a letter that Zhuge Liang, a politician in the Three Kingdoms period, wrote to his son Zhuge Zhan before he died. The original text is as follows:

A gentleman's journey is quiet to cultivate one's morality, and frugal to cultivate one's morality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. You must be quiet before you can study. If you don't learn, you can't be versatile, and if you don't want to learn, you can't succeed. If you are slow, you can't be energetic, and if you are dangerous, you can't be radical. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen? ?

Interpretation in the vernacular: the character of a gentleman is to improve self-cultivation from tranquility and cultivate moral character from thrift. You can't be clear about your ambitions without being quiet, and you can't achieve your lofty goals without excluding external interference. Learning must be calm and single-minded, and talent comes from learning. Therefore, if you don't study, you won't grow up, and if you don't have ambition, you won't get results.

Indulging in laziness can't cheer you up, nor can impatience and adventure cultivate your temperament. Time flies, and the will passes with the years. In the end, most of them are out of touch with the world and are not used by society. They can only sit in the poor house sadly. How could they regret it at that time?

Creative background: The Book of Commandments was written by Zhuge Liang to his eight-year-old son, Zhuge Zhan, in his later years, which is regarded as the 12th year of Jian Xing in Shu Han Dynasty (234). Zhuge Liang dedicated his life to the country and died. He worked day and night for the national cause of Shu and Han and neglected to educate his son personally, so he wrote this letter to warn Zhuge Zhan.

The main purpose of this letter is to encourage my son to study hard and be firm-willed. He should work hard from indifference and tranquility to avoid laziness and impatience. Summarize the experience of being a man and doing research, focusing on the word "quiet". The author discusses both learning and being a man. Regardless of being a person or studying, the author emphasizes a word "quietness": self-cultivation needs quietness, learning needs quietness, and success depends on quietness. Put failure down to a word "mania" and add "quietness" and "mania" to your heart.

In the Commandment, Zhuge Liang taught his son to be "quiet" and "quiet", encouraged his son to study hard and motivate himself, and made great efforts from his quiet cultivation. Zhuge Liang educated his son not to be impetuous and behave absurdly. In the second half of the letter, he taught his son in a fatherly tone: if the young don't work hard, the old will be sad. This seems like a cliche, but it was taught by a loving father to his son. Every word is the truth in his heart and the summary of his life, so it is especially cherished.

Zhuge Liang is not only strict with his son in general principles, but also shows subtle concern for his children in some specific matters.
