Chapter 1 A good attitude is a lifetime treasure.
There are people behind the scenes, and there are people outside. Hello, there is something better than you. Life is only a few decades, what matters is not how much applause and envious eyes you have won, but how much peace of mind and pleasure you have gained.
Take your time to succeed.
In life between heaven and earth, the desire to prove one's existence value can be said to be innate or extinct. Success is not only a personal pursuit, but also the common expectation of family, friends and society. Our ancestors once rudely divided success into three items, namely, "moral integrity, meritorious service and making a statement", which were called "three immortals". There is a well-known Confucian proposition that "climbing high and looking far can help the world", which encourages people to actively join the WTO, that is, to seek personal fame and provide services to society.
There is a western proverb called "Rome was not built in a day", which is quite vivid to describe the successful process of life. After all, young people work hard for fame, middle-aged people work hard for profit, and old people work hard for goodness. At different stages of life, people will have different pursuits, and the realization process of pursuit is synchronous with the embodiment process of success. Only in the eyes of the ancients, success not only means career achievements, but also implies the improvement of life realm. Even if luck is bad and success is not in place, personal cultivation is still sloppy. The so-called "poverty is immune" is what I mean. It is generally said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves, and today's people are better than the ancients, which is somewhat wishful thinking. The ancients were eager for success, and at the same time, they didn't forget to cultivate their self-cultivation and didn't regard success above everything else. People today are more realistic and utilitarian, and they often succeed by hook or by crook. In the eyes of modern people, life advocated by the ancients is worse than death, which is no different from fools.
There is also a western proverb called "All roads lead to Rome", which says that different ways and means can be adopted to achieve the same goal. It's a pity that some people don't know the secret. All their gestures and smiles are to prove success. As Lenin said, their original intention was to visit the truth, but they ended up in the room next to the truth. In the history of modern literature, some writers have just entered the literary world, and they have written a number of works that have a position in the readers' minds. In other words, when they don't deliberately pursue success, they have already obtained remarkable proof. With the arrival of the new era, they are eager to prove that they are not behind the times and to write books. As a result, what they wrote later, needless to say, no one would read it, and even the author himself was unwilling to include it in his own anthology, and he became a loser in a sense from a famous winner.
Scholars are no exception. A group of scholars who are well-known in the field and valued by foreign academic circles are as few as the morning stars after entering a new era. Looking back on the academic road of predecessors, we can't help but sigh: literati and scholars can't see academic achievements, and they are bound by objective environment and interpersonal relationships, and they are also hard to blame for their eagerness to achieve success. On the contrary, Chen Yinque, who worships "independent spirit and free thought", is willing to be unsuccessful, not seeking Wen Da, and willing to be lonely. Although he is blind, his academic research has never stopped, and his character and style of writing are amazing. In recent years, there are several books about Chen Yinque, many of which can attract the attention of the world.
This is not so much a "belated understanding" of a generation of historians as an affirmation of a successful lifestyle.
In the era of advocating success, successful people frequently appear in the mass media, and the secrets of success are filled with bookshelves. Successful legends have become the gossip of the general public. However, there is probably no answer that everyone agrees with what success means, let alone some successful people recognized today. They won't even say they are successful before they die. Kafka, the master of modernism, was a successful man, but he was only a clerk in the patent office when he lived and died. On the family, even a daughter-in-law has not been married; In terms of life span, it only lived 4 1 year. And the master painter Van Gogh. At present, the highest-priced paintings in the world are auctioned, and the first few are still his; He is successful in terms of art history and commercial value, but how many successful people will cut off their ears first and then pull the trigger on themselves with their hands that are used to holding brushes in the wheat field? It can be seen that the success recognized by later generations may not conform to the situation of successful people at that time.
If you don't strive for success, people may feel "unbearable lightness in life", be confused with other creatures in nature, and die, thus assuming the false name of "the spirit of all things is long, the essence of the universe". If you deliberately pursue success, or even have the belief of "success or death", you will always experience the unbearable weight of life: the role you want to play most is either the bride at the wedding or the deceased at the funeral. You mistake busyness for enrichment, and your lifestyle is far greater than your content. This kind of success is not a real success.
In the impetuous social background, it is quite difficult to keep a balanced mind and have no regrets. There is nothing wrong with longing for success, and there is no need to "confuse me all over the world" for success, but practice has proved that eager to prove success is not the only way to express success, nor is it the best way to express it. If you are eager to succeed, you should think twice.
□ Be able to control your own strengths and weaknesses.
Everyone is independent, and everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages. There is absolutely no perfect person in the world, but if a person can understand his own strengths and weaknesses and their significance to you in different time and space, it will be almost perfect.
