In real life, it is common to hear parents complain that their children are "disobedient." While the children bear some responsibility, the main cause is often that parents lack authority in their children's eyes. "Authority" refers to prestige and credibility. A key characteristic of authority is the relationship between will and obedience. Parents' authority is manifested when children respect, admire, and trust their parents, and when children willingly and without reluctance accept the requirements set by their parents.
In terms of nurturing the mind, we should read various books to broaden our horizons, learn from the strengths of others, and engage in more communication. We must enrich ourselves spiritually and cultivate a positive attitude toward life and strong psychological qualities. Keeping the mind empty and the mind detached, and not being attached to anything, is the best way to nurture the heart.
Those who truly achieve great deeds and significant success must possess a broad-mindedness and the grace to tolerate others. They must not only accommodate all kinds of people but also tolerate others' strengths, weaknesses, achievements, and mistakes. Liu Bang was able to rule the world because of his capacity to tolerate others; Li Shimin became a wise ruler because he did not hold grudges and forgave others' faults. Today, the broader the leader's temperament, the more they can win the hearts of the masses and inspire them to give their best efforts.
Appreciating others is a form of respect; being appreciated by others is a form of recognition.
