Zeng Guofan： a wise man, ＂three don't say＂ all his life.

　　Zeng Guofan's family letter said: "A really smart person has three things to say, and the more he doesn't say it, the more he can accumulate virtue and fortune." Misfortune comes from your mouth, perhaps because you inadvertently said a word, your life may change.

　　1. Don't complain

　　Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. If everyone complains, life is really impossible. Complaining about others will make your interpersonal relationship tense, and in the end, it will only make you blessed and become a bitter person. People with virtue can control their emotions and mouths, complain less and complain less.

　　2, don't say anything short.

　　Zeng Guofan said: "If you want to get rid of arrogance, the first meaning is not to laugh at people." If you want to guard against arrogance and rashness, you must first do not laugh at others.

　　As the saying goes, leave virtue behind your mouth, which is what you mean. Don't hit people in the face, expose people and expose weaknesses. Zeng Guofan is a man of great wisdom. What he said is worth pondering.

　　3. Don't talk nonsense

　　Zeng Guofan wrote in a letter to his son Zeng Jihong:

　　"I'm interested in learning to be a sage, and I owe you respect when I was young. So far, I can't help joking occasionally. You should behave in a dignified manner, and if you don't make a mistake, you will enter the foundation of virtue. "

　　Zeng Guofan said that he had the habit of talking nonsense when he was young, so he warned his son not to talk nonsense, and to be dignified and generous in words and deeds, which is the basis for becoming virtuous.
