Brief Introduction to the Original Author Zhuge Liang:
Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of Liu Bei, one of the kings during the Three Kingdoms Period. He is regarded as one of the most celebrated prime ministers in the history of China. His famous saying that “I will bend my back to the task until my dying day” has ever been remembered by the Chinese people.
The general idea of the article:
This is a way of life for a man of virtue: to cultivate his character by keeping a peaceful mind, and nourish his morality by a frugal living. Only freedom from vanity can show one’s lofty goal of life; and only peace of mind can help him to achieve something really lasting. To be talented, one must learn; and to learn, one must have a peaceful mind. One cannot develop his talent without learning, and one cannot accomplish his learning without peace of mind. Frivolity will prevent one from going deep into learning, and impetuousness will prevent one from moulding a noble character.
One’s age will flee with the time, and one’s ambition will wane with each passing day. If he does not exert himself in time, his mind would wither away like flowers and he would become a good-for-nothing in the world. And in the end, he could only perch in his humbling dwelling, lamenting for his lost prime that will never come back to him again.
