Last autumn, as the scenery was gradually declining, I bought two pots of evergreen trees and placed them in front of the window.
"Can these two trees grow in pots?" I asked the gardener.
"Yes! But you must dig a hole in the ground in winter, put down the tree and the pot, and dig it out again in spring.?"
I didn't do what he said, It feels so unreasonable. I thought: "As long as I water on time, what's the problem?"
But the winter is not over yet, and my trees have been frozen to death by ice and snow.
After thinking for a long time, I finally understood——
The reason why trees growing in the north can survive the cold winter is not only because there is still a little sunshine in winter, but also because the earth can provide Give them constant warmth.
The gardener taught me to plant the flowerpots in order to be protected by the "warmth of the earth".
Although the North Pole is cold, fish are still swimming in the water under the icebergs. Although the Antarctic is cold, deep in the earth, there are still volcanic lava rolling.
We always think that the warmth of the world comes from the sun. In fact, the earth under our feet has amazing heat.
We often think that external help is the most important, but actually it comes from the heart. The power in the depths is what enables us to survive the ice and snow and gain rebirth.
The earth is warm before the sky is warm, so there are many flowers that can bloom out of the ice and snow.
If human feelings are not warm, we must first warm our hearts. Once we love the troubled times, we can be a breath of fresh air. Zhuan (Liu Yong)
In the dog days of summer, a large area of ??grass in the Zen courtyard has turned yellow.
"Sow some grass seeds quickly! It's so ugly!" said the little monk.
"When the weather gets cooler." The master waved his hand, "Any time!"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master bought a bag of grass seeds and asked the young monk to sow them.
The autumn wind blows, and the grass seeds are scattered and floating.
"Oh no! Many seeds have been blown away." The little monk shouted.
"It doesn't matter, the ones that blow away are mostly empty, and they won't sprout if they are scattered." The master said. "Casual!"
After scattering the seeds, several birds flew over to peck at them.
"It's terrible! All the seeds have been eaten by birds!" The little monk jumped anxiously.
"It doesn't matter! There are so many seeds that we can't finish them all!" the master said. "Whatever happens!"
There was a shower in the middle of the night, and the young monk rushed into the meditation room in the morning:
"Master! It's really over now! So many grass seeds were washed away by the rain?"< /p>
"Let it happen wherever you rush!" Master said, "Just let it happen!"
More than a week has passed.
Many green grass seedlings grew out of the originally bare ground. Some corners that were not sown before were also filled with green.
The little monk clapped his hands with joy.
Master nodded: "Congratulations!"
Shouting to my soul in the rain
--Article: Learn to give up
Raining , all of a sudden without any warning. The dark sky was so dark that it wanted to swallow me up. Without an umbrella, I really wanted to let the heavy rain scorch the wetland in my heart. It has been a long time since I let the rain wet my hair on a rainy day. There are always warm hands to protect me from the wind and rain. It feels a little lonely and cold in the cold street without the care of others.
111 The past few days of trouble have made me feel very frustrated. While I encourage myself, I always feel that the failure of life should be more cruel to me. It would be better if I don’t even have a chance to get up. Why? If you want me to see hope, you have to give me a blow in the head. I said to the sky, you madman with a bad conscience, come and torture me, I am not afraid of you, it is best not to let me breathe, otherwise I will fight against myself. The heavy rain wets my heart and my enthusiasm for life, but it cannot extinguish my heart of hope. What is failure? Although I have cried, made trouble, and been discouraged when others laughed at me. What’s a setback? Although I have suffered many scars on the road of struggle, I will still have illusions of hope no matter how difficult it is. My friends moved away from me one by one, so far away that I felt like I was living in loneliness. It is said that sincerity is the most valuable, but in reality, money is a beautiful coat and a self-confidence. There is nothing more scary and intimidating than being away from the crowd.
111 Rain, please make it rain harder.
Let me get wet all over so that I can happily see everything being washed and clean. Isn't there a rainbow after the rainstorm? What's the big deal if there's no rainbow? It can't rain all the time. When the laws of nature make you feel like you have to escape, that's the season for me to turn over. The haze will not cover the sky for too long. It doesn't matter if it takes longer. Only in the dark sky and dark paths can I keep my eyes open. So what am I afraid of? Am I afraid that if I fall, no one will help me? Because there were always people helping me before, so now I am afraid, right? Just fall down. At most, passers-by will just smile and it won’t be a big deal. Well
111 The rain made me wet on the muddy street, and the hair sticking to my face was stuck in my eyes, which was a little painful. Despite the tears and rain, there was a smile on my face. I laughed at myself for being a big fool. I took a rest when I was tired and took shelter when it rained. Why? You have to hold on. Haha, go home. Although there is nothing there, I can live there with peace of mind. After changing my clothes, I am still the same person. Just smile in the mirror, I said to myself.
A prosperous life can be chosen by ourselves
When we first step out of school, our immature hearts will inevitably be young, frivolous and ambitious. When you were frustrated everywhere, and in the end you didn’t know what you could do or what you should do, you discovered your innocence and ignorance. This was a bitter experience, from a young boy full of longing and great pride to having to fight for survival. The frustrated man walked into the factory dejectedly and started doing something he didn't like. Only then did I understand what it means to be in a hurry and not choose the way to go, and to be hungry and not choose what to eat. I once looked at the sky, but there was no ladder to reach the sky, so my energy was worn out, and it was difficult to stand up after falling to the ground. Although I am still building a grand blueprint in my heart. This feeling is sour and sour, as if my heart is suspended and cannot find a place to rest. So I encouraged myself in my heart that enduring hardship when I was young was a blessing and I could accumulate experience for life. Difficulties and hardships are the only way to success, and rich rewards in life always come after many failures. I like a quote very much: "Every failure and struggle can make you more sophisticated in your skills, more mature in your thinking, hone your abilities and endurance, and increase your courage and confidence. In this way, difficulties become your partners, and you can discover new things." Self-reflection forces people to make progress. As long as you never give up, every setback will be an opportunity for you to make progress. "People must constantly reflect on themselves and constantly urge themselves to make progress." Did you know? When a person stays in an environment for a long time, he will unconsciously be assimilated by the people and things around him, and slowly get used to this kind of work and this kind of life. I keep running on this track unconsciously, and I don’t even have the thought of changing my life! The most terrifying thing is that he actually feels that he can only do this and nothing else! The potential is buried in the heart, and the ability is trapped in the box.
Because I worked endless overtime shifts and couldn’t get any rest, I left my old employer. When I started to make new choices, I was shocked by my own actions! Because when I chose a new job, I unconsciously looked for the same job as before. Standing in an industrial park that connects one factory to another, I couldn't help but shed tears! I shouted in my heart: Where is your dream? Where have all your ambitions gone? What about the wealth you want to give your parents a good life? At this time, I felt how different ideas and environmental influence have a great influence on people. Otherwise, how could there be the allusion of "Meng Meng's mother moved three times and chose her neighbors to live in". Many people have been doing simple tasks repeatedly for years or even decades, which has worn away their aspirations and their dreams. If you keep doing what you did before, you will always get what you got before, and if you keep doing what you are doing now, you will always get what you are getting now. I made a decision to change the environment and the people I come into contact with. There is an eternal truth: you will learn what kind of people you are with. The so-called red people who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are brown. That makes sense! If you are with a chicken, even an eagle cannot fly; if you are with an eagle, even a chicken can learn to fly. So if you want to be happy, you must be with happy people, if you want to be healthy, you must be with healthy people, and if you want to be successful, you must be with successful people.
When I started living alone in a strange place and started looking for opportunities for development. I realized that only when a person lives independently and is self-reliant can he mature and grow quickly. I am always thinking and exploring: Why are the poor poor and why are the rich rich? Why are people so different! I often observe the people around me to see what they are doing and what kind of life they are living. It makes me understand what kind of results will happen if I do something.
Another very important point is that if you want to change and make progress, you must learn. "Books are the ladder of human progress", and I have gained a lot of enlightenment from books. Sometimes just a sentence or a story can wake you up from your sleep, and it may be a turning point that changes your life. Qin Prime Minister Li Si was once the administrator of a granary. It was a trip to the toilet that changed his life. When he walked into the toilet, he saw a thin mouse running past, small and thin. He thought that the rats in the warehouse were fat and huge. Why were the same rats so different? Because one chose to be in the toilet and the other chose to be in the granary. It was the difference in location that made their lives completely different. After that incident, Li Si left his hometown and went to the capital to make a living, and he achieved his later achievements. They are all the same people but why are there such big differences? It is because everyone is in a different position and everyone has different thoughts. If you want to be rich, you must be in a position that makes you rich. Whichever thing you choose, you will get the result. Choice is magical. We can choose to live a prosperous life or we can choose to live a normal life. We can choose to be happy or unhappy, we can choose to be positive or negative, and you can go wherever you choose. Your life will be what you choose. You can choose your own destiny and life. People are the masters of their thoughts, their character can be shaped, and their environment and destiny can also be created. Human beings have made an amazing discovery: they can change their destiny by changing their thoughts.
Since leaving home, I have worked in business, as a supervisor, and in direct sales. Although I have not yet realized my dream and become rich, I have stepped out of myself. Go choose your own place. Rich experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to have better ideas. A rich person should first enrich his brain. With a rich person's ideas, there will be rich people's actions. With effective actions, endless wealth can be created.
Everything starts with an idea, then brews a decision, leading to a new situation. Treat life as a joyful experience! The world will change for you in an instant, because a rich life can be chosen by ourselves!
One spring five years ago, a Chinese farmer traveled to South Korea. Entrusted by a friend, he bought four large bags of about 30 kilograms of kimchi in a supermarket in South Korea. On the way back to the hotel, the burly man gradually felt that the plastic bag in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, causing pain in his hand. He wanted to carry the bag on his shoulders, but he was afraid of getting his newly bought suit dirty. Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw the lush green trees on both sides of the street, and he immediately took action.
He put down the bag and broke off a branch from the green tree on the roadside to use it as a handle to carry the heavy bag of pickles. Unexpectedly, just when he was secretly happy, he was caught by the oncoming Korean police. He was unceremoniously fined $50 by the South Korean police for damaging trees and the environment.
50 US dollars is equivalent to more than 400 yuan, which in China can buy half a truckload of kimchi! He stomped his feet in distress. I wanted to argue, but it was difficult to communicate, so I had to accept the punishment and give up.
After he paid the fine, he felt a lot of anger in his stomach. In addition to being reluctant to part with the $50, he also felt that he had embarrassed the Chinese people by letting the Korean police pay the fine. The more he thought about it, the more cowardly he became, so he simply put down his bag and sat on the roadside.
He looked at the flow of people coming and going in front of him, and found that there were many passers-by like him, panting and carrying bags of various sizes, and their palms were so strangled that they even turned purple. The person couldn't hold on and stopped to rub or rub his hands. The way they struggled made him feel a little funny.
Why don’t you think of a way to make a handle that is both convenient and not constricting to carry things? Yes, there must be a market for inventing a convenient handle and selling it specifically to Koreans! Thinking of this, his My spirits were lifted, and I secretly made up my mind to find opportunities to save the face of the $50 fine in the future.
After returning to China, he kept thinking about being fined $50 in South Korea and the passers-by carrying heavy bags, and the idea of ??inventing a convenient carrying handle became stronger and stronger. So, he simply put down the work at hand and plunged into the development of convenient handles. According to the shape of human hands, he repeatedly designed several styles of handles; in order to test their tensile strength, he used several materials such as iron, wood, and plastic. However, it always failed to achieve the expected results, and he almost lost confidence. But when he thought of the embarrassing $50 fine in South Korea, he was full of fighting spirit.
After many twists and turns, the product was made, and he asked his neighbors to try it out. This humble little thing suddenly became favored by the neighbors. With it, you can carry more bags when buying rice and groceries without feeling constrained. Later, he took the handle to the local market to sell it, but many people saw it and few bought it.
How could this happen? He was so anxious that he scratched his head. At this time, his wife reminded him to give the handles to those who carry heavy objects for free. Needless to say, this trick really works. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and the advantages of the small handle are immediately reflected. For a time, people everywhere in the streets were asking about the origin of the handle.
The small handle became famous, which increased his confidence in bringing this product to the market. However, he did not forget that the ultimate target market for his invention was South Korea. He quickly applied for a patent for his invention. Then, in order to successfully enter the Korean market with convenient handles, he decided to first understand Korean consumers’ consumption psychology of daily necessities.
After repeated investigations, he found that Koreans are very picky about color and form, and pay attention to packaging. As long as the packaging is exquisite and the workmanship is excellent, the price is secondary. So he decided to do what he liked, and made various changes to the color of the handles to enhance the visual effect. He also spent a lot of money to hire a professional packaging designer to carefully package the handles according to international standards. Regarding his large-scale investment, many people cast doubtful eyes on him and did not believe that this gadget could achieve anything great. But he firmly believes in the most common truth: "If you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf."
The hard work paid off. After extensive market research and business operations, a week later, he received an order from a large supermarket in South Korea. He ordered 1.2 million convenient conveniences at a price of US$0.25 each. Handle! He was ecstatic at that moment.
The man who attracted Korean consumers with a simple and convenient handle is called Han Zhenyuan. With a humble inspiration, he suddenly became a millionaire from an ordinary farmer. This change took him less than a year, and it was just the beginning.
Someone asked him how he succeeded. He said that he bought a branch for $50.
A branch not only stirred up his wealth, but also changed his life.
Opportunity is like a branch. If you use your brain on it, it will help you change your life.
Once glorious, once withered, is this your life that will last until death? My dear mother - nature. How many times have I fallen on the ground to listen to your heavy pulse; how many times have I stood in front of the mountain to feel the vastness of the thousand-year-old pines. Your heroism is enough to make the Chinese nation take off; your selflessness has composed a series of touching songs for the ages.
Only by setting off, can you reach your ideals and destinations; only by hard work can you achieve brilliant success; only by sowing can you reap rewards. Only by pursuing can you taste upright people.
Maturity is a kind of bright but not dazzling brilliance, a kind of mellow but not greasy sound, a kind of calmness that does not need to judge the appearance of others, a kind of finally stopping to complain to the surroundings. A kind of atmosphere, a smile that ignores the noise, a kind of indifference that washes away the extreme, a kind of thickness that does not need to be announced, a kind of height that is not steep.
Love sometimes does not require the solemn promise of eternal love, but it definitely needs meticulous care and greetings; love sometimes does not need the tragic love of Butterfly Lovers, but it definitely needs the tacit understanding and understanding of the heart. Accommodation; love, sometimes does not require the following of males and females, but she definitely needs the support and understanding of each other.
Smile and sing the songs of life. Don’t complain that life has given you too many hardships. Don’t complain that there are too many twists and turns in life. If the sea loses the rolling waves, it will lose its majesty; if the desert loses the wild dance of flying sand, it will lose its splendor. If you only seek smooth sailing at two points and one line in life, life will lose the meaning of existence.
Even though youth is a delicate flower, I understand that a branch blooming alone is never spring. Spring should be a world of colorful flowers. Even though youth is a majestic tree on the earth, I understand that a single tree is never tall and tall. Rows and rows of trees are the green Great Wall that blocks the wind and sand. Even though youth is like a solitary sail in the sea, I understand that it is difficult for a solitary sail to sail a long distance, and that thousands of sails competing against each other are the grandeur of the sea.
Only by setting off, can you reach your ideals and destinations; only by hard work can you achieve brilliant success; only by sowing can you reap rewards.
Only by pursuing can you taste upright people.
Although you are still just a young seedling. However, as long as you persevere, you will eventually become a towering tree; although you are just a trickle now, as long as you persevere, you will eventually embrace the sea; although you are just an eagle now, as long as you have a high heart, you will fall a few times. , will eventually occupy the blue sky.
What is it that comes quietly and leaves no trace, but causes all the colors to dance lightly?
What is it that leaves no trace and comes quietly, but can leave behind a passionate song that spans a season?
What is it that comes quietly and leaves quietly again, leaving behind the hanging golden color in the harvest season?
What is it that quietly leaves and comes again, spinning white dreams for the silent earth?
The philosopher smiled at the blue sky: "It's time."
The child held the kite and clapped his hands: "It's the wind."
The wanderer said: "Nothing. No, it’s just a dream. ”
Life is like a flower, colorful; life is like a song, beautiful; life is like wine, fragrant and mellow; life is like a poem, with profound artistic conception and colorful.
