A gentleman like jade: "Female Justice Ginsburg RBG"

1. "Notorious" female justices

Justices are people with great power in the United States. There are 9 justices in the Supreme Court of the United States, and this position is a lifelong responsibility system. Unless he dies, voluntarily resigns, or is impeached by Congress, there is no case of dismissal.

Justice Ginsburg in this documentary is one of the former nine justices. Previously, Ginsburg died on September 18, 20, and served as a justice for 27 years.

At the beginning of the documentary, all kinds of people used all kinds of mocking language to ridicule Ginsburg's "notorious". Of course, we know that it is precisely because of everyone's love for her that they will make such a joke.

Because Ginsburg's views expressed in various cases have been recognized by everyone, that is, "people's hearts", making her an idol almost as much as a rock star in the hearts of young people, they called her for the "notorious RGB".

2. A gentleman is like jade

The whole documentary is really fascinated by the appearance of Justice Ginsburg. It is the kind of beauty from the inside out, and she has a good voice when she is in a lawsuit or announcing a verdict or when she speaks. Nice, it is a kind of firm power conveyed in the voice, it is a wise, confident, and elegant voice. The naked eye can see the admiration in the eyes of the lawyer who was arguing with her. She is a person who can convince her opponent to become a friend.

Before watching the documentary, I thought that this justice who has won the love of countless people must be a fighter of the law, and he unconsciously brought into Mr. Lu Xun's shadow: he was cold and pointed at thousands of people, and he bowed his head willingly.

I actually watched the movie and it wasn't like that at all.

She is a great beauty, at the same time taciturn, even shy, serious, and loves her work.

She talked about the two things her mother told her to stick to her whole life: one is elegance, that is, never get angry about irrelevant things; the other is independence, you can find a prince charming to spend the rest of your life with, but you have to learn take care.

I don't know how to describe her beauty. Even though she is an old man in her 80s in the documentary, she still makes people feel her charisma, something that cannot be erased by the aging of the years. I think that may be the so-called quality of a gentleman.

3. Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement

The Book of Changes begins by saying, "The sky is healthy, and the gentleman is self-improvement; the terrain is kun, and the gentleman carries things with great virtue."

The character of a girl is more like the Kun Gua, which is reflected to a certain extent: strong tolerance, understanding of each other, good empathy ability, strong communication and coordination ability, and even a certain tenacity to withstand pressure.

But let’s think about the moments that really move us, maybe androgynous moments. For example, "Zhang Min looks back" or "Tenderness of the iron man". There is yang in yin, and yin in yang. If a woman wants to acquire the personality of a gentleman like jade, she may not only need to use her strengths: the terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with great virtue. More should think about whether he has achieved "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is self-improvement." Just like the Justice Ginsburg in the film.

Ginsburg graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School in the 1990s. Even the dean of the law school at the time recommended this outstanding female student to the law firm, but because she was a woman and there was serious sexism at the time, she was not able to get a job in the law firm.

However, this does not mean that she will retreat, and she will still dedicate her life to the legal career. She fights for legal rights for female employees who don't get fair pay, social security for fathers who don't get single-parent benefits, and women's rights for female students who are turned away from the Virginia Military Institute because of their gender.

"I know you hate me for ruining this school, but wait and see, one day, you'll be proud of the girls who graduate from here," she said to the boys at Virginia Military Institute. (Free translation, can't remember the original words)

She won't win with her voice in court, on the contrary, she has won everyone's respect with her professional attitude, firm tone, and serious preparation. Those opponents may laugh at her or ridicule her, but she is not angry, but works hard step by step in the direction that she thinks is right and should strive for.

We cannot deny that her efforts brought changes to American society at that time.

She possesses both yin and yang powers. She is as deep as water, but she is always positive, and she is a burning flame.

She is so beautiful, I could feel her sparkling across the screen, and I couldn't help but want to buy a mug with her picture on it.

4. One step forward

Speaking of Sheryl Sandberg's book "One Step Forward" that I once read.

More and more friends around me are getting married and having children, and as women, everyone is more and more worried about how far they can go in their careers.

Rationally, we all know that this is an unavoidable obstacle. But don't let that cool down the heart that was once excited, motivated, and wanted to get better.

Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement.

We can't change society and change the world like Justice Ginsburg did, but we must at least take care of ourselves, believe in ourselves, and move forward bravely.

Good luck my friend.

  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg: When I am at an opera, I get totally carried away. I don't think about the case that's coming up next week, or the brief that I'm in the middle.of. I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of the music, the drama, and the sound of human voice. It's like an electric current going through me. Justice and mercy, they're all in opera. Very grand emotions.
