He worked hard to make money when he was young, but when he had a little savings, his mother died of illness, so he had to spend all his savings to see his mother. Later, he continued to make money. When he had a little savings, he had a car accident and spent all his savings this time.
Later, he saved money several times, but whenever he did, something bad always happened, which made him spend all his savings again and again. The painful lesson of saving money several times in a row seems to be that God is telling him that it is impossible for him to save money in this life!
So he gave up saving money and stopped trying to make money. Everything went smoothly, as long as the money he earned could meet his daily expenses. When he lived with such an attitude towards life, a miracle happened, and nothing that needed a lot of money never happened at home. Later, he became more convinced that all this was fate, and he could not have spare money in his hand. If he has money, something will happen.
After listening to his words, I was lost in thought, because my parents and some old people in the village also said similar things to me. They agreed that a person's life is actually fate. I never believed in the so-called fate, but when I heard more and more old people admit that they believe in fate, even some knowledgeable and literate old people, I couldn't help but start to re-examine this statement.
The theory of fate has a long history of thousands of years, and the ancients believed it very much. Xunzi once said, "The life of man is in heaven, and the life of the country is in ceremony." ; In the Qing Dynasty, Li Yu once said that "small wealth is made by man, and great wealth is added from heaven"; "Tell the world" wrote: "Everything is life, not by people at all." Moreover, not only ordinary people believed in fate, but even ancient emperors could not avoid it.
When Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, was seriously ill, Lv Zhi, the queen mother, brought a doctor to treat him. Liu Bang refused to treat him, saying, "I won the world with three feet of sword. Isn't this fate? " Life is in heaven, although Bian Que is good! "This sentence profoundly embodies Liu Bang's recognition of fate. In his eyes, all this is fate. It is fate that keeps him alive again and again; It was fate that made him defeat the arrogant Xiang Yu; It was fate that turned him from a small pavilion into an emperor of the world; It was also fate that brought him to the end of his life. ...
From ancient times to the present, countless people believe that everything is fate, and when we think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the word "fate" that people say includes a "luck" called luck. It can be said that many people's life trends have a lot to do with luck. For example, my fans are really unlucky. These bad luck made him fail to achieve the goal of saving money, and finally turned the result of luck into what he called "fate."
And some people are lucky, as if they were blessed by heaven. For example, Emperor Wendi once dreamed of flying into the sky, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fly. At this time, someone pushed him to the sky. Looking back, it turned out to be just a Huang Toulang (a small official in charge of ships). I saw this yellow-headed wolf's dress style is very strange. Everyone else is wearing a belt at the front, but he is wearing it at the back.
Wendi Deng woke up and gradually went to Taiwan Province. He observed silently, looked for the yellow-headed wolf who pushed him to heaven according to the scene in his dream, and found the yellow-headed wolf with his belt tied behind his back. Wendi was overjoyed and thought that this man was the right person for him. This man was Deng Tong. From then on, Deng Tong was promoted by Emperor Wen, given the official title and Tongshan, and became rich overnight. Even Sima Qian has to say that luck is also a kind of strength.
When Judy launched Fengtian Jingnan, the central government sent 300,000 troops to suppress it. On one occasion, the central army forced the Yan army to retreat, and the Yan army was about to be wiped out. However, at this moment, the wind suddenly blew, flying sand and stones, and the handsome flag of the Central Army was scraped off. In the past, people were superstitious and thought it was a warning from heaven, so there was chaos in the world. Yan Jun took advantage of the situation to fight back and defeated the Central Army. Without this great luck, it is estimated that there would be no later Ming Chengzu, and there would be no later Yongle Shi Sheng and seven voyages to the West.
For the ancients, we may think that we were superstitious before believing in the so-called luck, but many successful entrepreneurs in modern times also admit the role of luck. For example, on 20 12, Lei Jun won the annual entrepreneur award ceremony. At the award ceremony, Lei Jun said: Xiaomi has made some achievements, achieving10 billion a year, 85% because of luck. This is not modesty. I'm talking about luck here, which is definitely not what everyone wants to hear, but as an entrepreneur for more than 20 years, I think this is a fact, and no one is an exception.
Throughout the ages, we know that luck does exist and plays a very important role in people's success! As the saying goes, "aim high, unless you are lucky, you can't achieve it." There are countless people at home and abroad who have the ability to die without regret. Only with good luck can we achieve great ambitions. Otherwise, even if you try again and struggle again, you just can't realize your ambition.
This view is quite different from the education we received from childhood. We are taught the importance of hard work and think that luck is opportunistic. At school, the teacher even conveyed to the students the idea that "everything is determined by hard work, and only hard work can succeed". To prove this point, I took it out of context, such as Edison's famous saying, "Genius is 1% inspiration, plus 99% sweat!" Edison actually emphasized the second half of the sentence, "but that one percent of inspiration often exceeds that 99 percent of sweat!" " .
Besides, we are familiar with the story of Einstein's three small benches. This story is used to show that the great physicist was also stupid when he was a child, and it was his acquired efforts that made him successful. In fact, apart from the story of the Chinese world, Einstein's biography, memoirs and even the German online world have no record of the "third small bench", which means that this story is completely fabricated!
Looking up Einstein's life records, we can see that he has a strong practical ability since he was a child. When I was a child, I helped my father solve technical problems in his factory. In college, he also did experiments with friends and applied for many patents. A Swiss newspaper once published Einstein's school report card: under the grading standard at that time, 6 points was the highest score and 1 point was the lowest score. Einstein got 6 points in algebra, geometry, projection geometry, physics and history!
This is what the teacher told us at school. Einstein was stupid when he was a child, and he only got 6 points in physics! But through hard work, he became a great physicist! Anything is possible as long as you work hard! The truth is that Einstein was gifted when he was a child, and he got almost full marks in all subjects, but talent can't be obtained by hard work, and talent is still a kind of luck. This is why there are so many hard-working people, and Einstein has only one!
After careful study, we found that most of the famous sayings and inspirational stories told by teachers as children were false. Nothing more than emphasizing the importance of hard work, and even over-mything the role of hard work! The reason why parents and teachers emphasize hard work so much can be reasonably explained by Weiner's attribution theory of success or failure.
Weiner divides the reasons for the success or failure of human activities into six categories: ability, effort, task difficulty, good luck, external environment and physical and mental condition. Attribution is divided into three dimensions: internal attribution and external attribution; Stability attribution and instability attribution; Controllable attribution and uncontrollable attribution.
Of all the reasons for success or failure, only the degree of effort is an internal unstable and controllable factor. If students attribute their failure to incompetence, which is an uncontrollable and stable factor, they will stop working hard in the future. If it's because of uncontrollable unstable factors with insufficient strength, it may be strengthened next time.
Therefore, it is most beneficial for students to study harder by attributing failure to hard factors. Although the teacher will make up some hard stories to prove this point, they are all white lies. Moreover, we prefer the story that ordinary teenagers become legends through hard work to the story that they are smart when they are young and still smart when they grow up. Many online writers have captured people's psychology and created countless cool articles.
Some people may think that since luck is so important, what's the use of trying? Should we resign ourselves to fate? Give all the gains and losses in life to luck. Doesn't luck mean that you will accomplish nothing? In fact, although hard work is not as good as luck, it also plays an important role.
The ancients believed that there are three kinds of life, one is positive life, the other is fate, and the third is fate. The righteous are born, their parents are pregnant, and they will be poor in the future. This is the righteous life. Those who follow the fate will be lucky if they work hard and miserable if they indulge their desires. The so-called good is rewarded with good and evil with evil, which is karma. Those who are destined to do good will get evil, which is not what they expected. When they meet outside, they will get fierce disasters, which is irresistible to human beings.
In today's words, the right fate is determined when we are born, by your efforts the day after tomorrow, and by the chaos of the universe. Being commanded, being commanded and being commanded is a trinity, and * * * together constitute a complete destiny of a person. And these three strikes can only be decided by our efforts, which is exactly the same as Weiner's attribution theory.
Just as Cai Shaogong, a diviner in the Western Han Dynasty, said, "Although it is destiny takes a hand, we must work hard. Those who are resigned to their fate will be complacent if they don't do it, and they will become their own family if they don't do it. This is a big mistake. " Although you really need luck in many cases, it is still very important to work hard. Without hard work, I won't take the initiative to find you. Luck and hard work are indispensable.
Of course, luck often determines the upper limit of people, but we can constantly improve our lower limit through hard work. Read as many books as possible every day to improve your cultural literacy; Try to earn more money and improve your wealth accumulation; Exercise as much as possible to improve your physical fitness. It is difficult for us to be the luckiest ourselves, but we can be the best ourselves!
Finally, I hope that hard work and luck will always accompany you and help you reach the other side of success smoothly! At the same time, if you like this article, pay attention to it and like it!
