Life Section: My Views on Proverbs – Part 1. Throughout the course of a person’s life, due to differences in age, personality, status, upbringing, and experience, different interpretations of a particular statement or event can arise. And sometimes, when we are feeling depressed or disheartened, we often hear a sentence inadvertently that can have an impact on our lives; some words can even affect a person’s entire life. So, dear sailors, let’s share our own perspectives on the interpretation of some famous quotes. I hope this series of posts can provide some hints and a bit of encouragement for those who, like me, are struggling in confusion and fighting their way forward. Let our home and life be filled with positive energy. I would like to especially thank @DesertFish @cflt111 for their support.

Greatness comes from tolerance; strength arises from lack of desire – only through cultivation can one achieve this.
After the dissolution of Steel Seven Company in \"Soldiers’ Assault,\" Gao Cheng, the commander of Steel Seven Company, said to the regiment commander before leaving: \"Greatness comes from tolerance; strength arises from having no desires. Tolerance refers to considering others, while desires pertain to oneself.\" It was a very moving statement – truly having strength means being able to consider others and tolerate them, rather than being self-centered! My understanding is quite superficial; I hope everyone can offer their criticism and suggestions...
Those who are tolerant these days are precious! There are these little things that one can’t stand seeing every day; I guess it’s only after reaching the age of 50 that most people will be able to see things more calmly! I can’t help but agree; this is actually pretty good. Otherwise, where would the motivation come from?
In the phrase \"chao fu\", what exactly do \"rong\" and \"yu\" refer to?
According to your understanding, then desire should be a person’s wants, right? Without desire, there is no motivation to move forward; that’s how it is understood, right?
Tolerance -- breadth of mind; Desire – longing.
Tolerance is breadth of mind; desire is extravagance...
That’s right! Didn’t discussions on “upholding heavenly principles and eliminating human desires” take place a long time ago? The final conclusion was that this is impossible!
Could you explain it in simpler terms? Would you be willing to share your own understanding of the phrase \"Greatness comes from tolerance, and strength arises from having no desires\"?
