A gentleman should have great ambitions

One should have ambition, but not ambition. Isn't it not to sail in the dark and herd sheep when lost? Aspirants are the direction of life. According to this excerpt from Redsun's article, Mao Zedong -- an example worth learning forever, a spiritual leader worth worshipping forever

---Zhuge Changqing

People value ambition, more noble ambition, and the most noble ambition. Throughout Mao Zedong's life, we can think that the most noble ambition of "saving the country and the people" is the most fundamental reason for his heroic achievements.

Mao Zedong lived in a private school for 6 years when he was 8-14 years old. During this period, although his academic achievements were excellent and laid a solid foundation for him in ancient Chinese, he had no great ambition in fashion and could be described as learning in "chaos". According to the information available at present, when Mao Zedong dropped out of school for more than two years and was 16 years old, he read a pamphlet about the great powers dividing up China. The first sentence was: "Alas, China is going to die!". As a result, he "began to realize that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country". In 1910, he was named "Ziren"; The first division studied, and the students gave the nickname "Mao Qi" and so on, which showed that they had great ambitions and were extraordinary.

It is worth mentioning that the teachers' praise to Mao Zedong also has a significant impact on his ambition and pursuit of great achievements. Guo Boxun, who "knows how to count", asserted that Mao Zedong would become a great man in the future by looking at his face; Mao Luzhong had a bright eye on him. He was ingenious and painstakingly carved jade. He instilled in him the great truth of determination to become a talent and serve the country. He taught "books on the rise and fall of chaos", such as "The General Guide to Governance", "Zhenguan Politician" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War". When Shaoshan Chong could not accommodate the eagle that was about to spread its wings, he also urged Mao Zedong to leave the country; The headmaster of Dongshan Primary School called him a "national talent", and Tan Yongchun praised him in his composition as "looking like a king with immortal bones, looking at the universe, like the water of the Yellow River, pouring down thousands of miles"; The six-hundred-character "Shang Yang's theory of relocating to Mu Lixin" won the teacher's 150-character comment, saying that he was "talented and promising", "it is a great tool to practice a uniform style of writing, and I don't know where to go if I add merit"; When his life was dying, Yang Changji also solemnly recommended Mao Cai (Cai Hesen) to Zhang Shizhao: "I solemnly speak to you, the two sons are talented in the world, and have a great future. If you don't speak of saving the country, you must first speak of saving the country"

 君子当有远大志向

   人当有志向，未有志向，岂不是黑夜里行船、迷路上放羊？志向者，人生前进指向标也。从redsun的文章里看到这一段摘录下来，毛泽东----永远值得学习的榜样、永远值得崇拜的精神领袖......

                             --- 诸葛长青

　　人贵有志，更贵有大志，最贵有高尚大志。纵观毛泽东的一生，可以这样认为：树立“救国救民”这样最为高尚的大志，是他成就豪杰的最根本原因。

　　毛泽东8-14岁间曾有过6年的私塾生活。期间，尽管他的学习成绩非常优秀，也为他打下了深厚的古文功底，但那时尚无远大志向，可谓在“混沌”中学习。从目前掌握的资料看，毛泽东辍学两年多、16岁的时候读了一本关于列强瓜分中国的小册子，开头一句就是：“呜呼，中国其将亡矣！”。由此，他“开始认识到，国家兴亡，匹夫有责”。1910年取名“子任”；一师读书，同学送外号“毛奇”等等，足见其胸怀大志、不同凡响。

　　值得提及的是老师们对毛泽东的褒奖，对他立大志向、求大作为也有着不可忽视的影响。那个“能掐会算”的郭伯勋凭看相就断言毛泽东日后必成大器；毛麓钟对他青眼有加，独具匠心、苦心琢玉，向他灌输立志成才、报效国家的大道理，教授《资治通鉴》、《贞观政要》、《孙子兵法》等“治乱兴衰之书”，当着韶山冲容纳不下这个即将展翅的雄鹰之时，他又力举毛泽东出乡关；东山小学堂的校长称他为“建国才”，谭咏春由他的作文赞他为“视似君身有仙骨，寰观气宇，似黄河之水，一泻千里”；六百字的“商鞅徙木立信论”却赢得了老师一百五十字的批语，称他“才气过人，前途不可限量”，“练成一色文字，自是伟大之器，再加功侯，吾不知其所至”；杨昌济在生命垂危之际，还向章士钊郑重推荐毛蔡（蔡和森）：“吾郑重语君，二子海内人才，前程远大。君不言救国则已，欲言救国必先重二子”；……
