What does "indifferent ambition, quiet and far-reaching" mean?

Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. "From Zhuge Liang's 54-year-old to his 8-year-old son Zhuge Zhan's Book of Commandments.

If you don't look down on the immediate fame and fortune, you won't have a clear ambition. If you can't concentrate on your study calmly, you can't achieve your great goal. This is the same as the truth that "if you want to take it, you must follow it first" and "if you want to achieve your goal, you must twist it first". Now "indifference" and "tranquility" seek purity and want to do nothing. On the contrary, you should learn from "Zhi Ming" and set high aspirations. When the time is right, you can "go far" and do something vigorous.

Indifference is to look down on fame and fortune,

Zhi Ming means to show clear ambition.

Quiet is to make yourself calm and quiet, to do things, to be a person.

Going further and further is to achieve lofty goals.

Do not pursue fame and fortune, not hypocrisy, not flattery, and pursue a quiet and comfortable life.

Face your true self, don't be infringed by interests, and so on.

Plain is true.

"Indifference" is an ancient Taoist thought. Laozi once said that "indifference is the best, and victory is not beauty". Later generations have always inherited and appreciated this artistic conception of "peace of mind". For example, Bai Juyi said in the poem "Ask Qiu Guang" that "the body and mind turn to safety, and the smoke scene is indifferent". He shows that the author is free from distractions, absorbed and comfortable, and is not limited to the long-term broad realm of immediate gains and losses.
