《诫子书》

诫子书

诸葛亮（三国）

夫君子之行，静以修身，俭以养德。非淡泊无以明志，非宁静无以致远。夫学须静也，才须学也，非学无以广才，非志无以成学。慆慢则不能励精，险躁则不能治性。年与时驰，意与日去，遂成枯落，多不接世，悲守穷庐，将复何及！ 

这篇文章当作于蜀汉后主建兴十二年（234年），是诸葛亮晚年写给他八岁的儿子诸葛瞻的一封家书，诸葛亮一生为国，鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已。他为了蜀汉国家事业日夜操劳，顾不上亲自教育儿子，于是写下这篇书信告诫诸葛瞻。

An Admonishing Letter to Son Zhuge Zhan

Zhuge Liang(The Three Kindoms Periods)

To behave oneself,a noble person should be quiet to cultivate morality and stay frugal to cultivate virtue.It is through living a simple life that one knows one’s life’s goal;It is by leading a quiet life that one achieves lasting accomplishments.Learning is in want of quietness,capability is in want of learning.To increase one’s ability there is no other way but learning,to achieve accomplishments there is no other way but aspiration.

Arrogance arouses none of one's efforts,impatience remedies none of one’s temper.As time flies by year by year and the will power withers away day by day,one can no longer live up to one’s life’s goal and keep up with the time.Then except ending up in destitude,what should one expect for ?
