Self-study, cautious and independent

The first time I came into contact with the word "cautious independence", I went to the municipal hospital with a friend to visit another hospitalized friend.

When I passed a department of the hospital, there was a board on the wall with these two words written on it and some posters. My friend asked me what it means to hang such a propaganda slogan in the hospital.

I told my friends that this should be one of the contents of hospital training, that is, to warn our medical staff, whether on duty alone or at work, to work hard as usual, even without supervision, because they are faced with fresh life all the time.

After listening to it, my friend thought what I said was reasonable and nodded in agreement.

After retirement, I joined this private hospital management company. Investors like the traditional culture of China, and all employees are required to audit the accounts every day, and it is a designated account book.

As soon as I entered the company, I began to read "University? The doctrine of the mean. Through reading, I have a deeper understanding of the word "cautious independence"

In The Doctrine of the Mean, "be cautious about independence" goes like this: "Don't be invisible, don't be insignificant, so a gentleman is cautious about independence." It means that you should be a gentleman, be careful when you are alone, consciously abide by statutes and morality, and don't know how to regulate your words and deeds because others are not present or paying attention.

Deeply influenced by Confucianism, Zeng Guopan, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, also had his own understanding of the word "cautious independence". In his will to future generations, there are four items: "Cautious independence, respect for others, benevolence and hard work". Among them, the first one is "cautious independence".

His understanding of "cautious independence" is: "cautious independence means peace of mind, and it is not difficult to cultivate the mind by self-study; The difficulty of nourishing the heart lies in being cautious and independent, and if you can be cautious and independent, you will feel guilty and you will be able to cure ghosts and gods. If a person has nothing to be ashamed of, then Tianjun is calm and his heart is always wide and flat. It is the first way to strengthen yourself in life, the first way to find happiness, and the first thing to keep fit. "

Since I joined the company, I have to go to Shanghai or Wuxi every month to work in the other two hospitals of investors, and I have been living in a hotel alone. Now a person has become the norm.

Every time I go on a business trip, I always keep my second son "Shen Du" firmly in mind and tell myself if I have done it.

For example, although there is no supervision, get up at six in the morning, wash and eat, and go to work on time; Get up at noon and still go to work on time. Never go out to play unless you have a Sunday off.

For example, if you eat a buffet in a hotel, you can eat as much as you want. Every time the plate is almost clean except for egg shells and sweet potato skins, there is no waste. After eating, always put away bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons, etc. Let the waiter take it away together and wipe the rice grains and bread crumbs on the table with paper.

For example, when I am alone in a hotel at night, I always lie in bed reading or learning to write, and I don't feel lonely at all.

During your stay in the hotel, put all the used wastes into the wastebasket; Hotel bath towels are never thrown about; The floor and desktop are always kept clean and tidy, and so on. After living in the same hotel for a year, even the waiter knew me and told me that your room was easy to tidy up.

If you want to ask me why I did it, or how I did it? I really can't answer, but one thing is certain: I want to be a kind person, worthy of the kindness of my parents, worthy of future generations, and worthy of the conscience in the middle.

The biggest gain of practicing "cautious independence" in this way is that I have a clear conscience, have a good appetite during the day and feel very fragrant when I sleep at night. People of our age always say that I can't sleep at night, but I always feel that I don't have enough sleep. Most of the time, I was woken up by the alarm of my mobile phone.

The above are some of my feelings and experiences in practicing "cautious independence", hoping to benefit you.
