Small as a moss flower, blooming with fragrance
Even in the darkest place, bloom like a peony. ——Inscription
Yuan Mei once said: Moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also bloom like peonies. In the vast world, everyone plays a different role in society. Some are as heavy as a mountain and make great contributions to society; some are lighter than a feather and can only protect a small amount of land. But remember, even if you are as humble as clay, you must not be twisted like maggots!
The courier boy Lei Haiwei uses poetry to make life bloom; the old man who scavenges uses a mandolin to add a touch of color to his life; the plastering worker Shi Jianguo uses a brush to paint a picture of his life. They are small and small. But they are never humble, they use their shining dreams to constantly fight against the dust in life; they are great, but they never make a statement, they continue to write chapters of life with their actions. They stick to their own little world and don't care about anything. Even though there is dust in the depths, there are mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in my heart. Our lives come from chance. Although we cannot choose our origins, nor can we determine our living environment, we can choose how to live and how to live wonderfully! We cannot illuminate everything like the sun, but we can guard the sky quietly like the stars.
Han Han once said: "Any ordinary thing done well is extraordinary, and all simple things done well are extraordinary." This is true! Shi Banyu, an ordinary voice actor. Since "The Gambler", his voice has been accompanying Stephen Chow's image on the screen. He used his unique voice to cooperate with Stephen Chow to film one classic after another. There will be many "Shi Banyu" in our lives, and they have written one magnificent chapter after another with their own voices. Those familiar movie dubbings, those animation dubbings that accompanied childhood, when we think of them, we can think of those beautiful memories.
"Those who work for everyone should not let them die in the wind and snow." Lu Yong is an ordinary person who runs a business of selling generic drugs. He is not a profit-seeking villain. He is entirely out to help patients. Over the years, he gradually gained fame and was respected as the "God of Medicine" by many patients. However, selling generic drugs is illegal and will eventually be punished by law. But Lu Yong firmly believes that what he does can change something. In fact, he really did it. Patented drugs are included in medical insurance and prices are steadily decreasing. "There are always people who don't want to be extinguished lampposts, but want to be the only light." This is the case for Lu Yong. He serves as a guiding light for thousands of patients wherever he can. He, Lu Yong, fights alone because he also understands that he is the only hope for many families. He is ordinary, he is ordinary, but he did great things. A joint plea letter signed by 1,002 patients was submitted to the procuratorate, just like the rows of people escorting Cheng Yong away at the end of the movie "I am not the God of Medicine" Like the patients who ignited the light of life, Lu Yong only asked about the mission, not the east or the west.
It is true that there are many "moss flowers" in life who have the courage to show their best youth, but it is undeniable that there are still many "Buddhist" young people in today's society who suffer the consequences of mourning culture every day. Watering, even if it is a peony at first, it eventually becomes a weed. They always say: They are just ordinary people and should live their own ordinary lives. No need to try too hard. In my eyes, this is not ordinary, but mediocre. Ordinariness is a plain but well-fitting coat, while mediocrity is the death of the soul. This is in line with Mr. Lu Xun's famous saying: Some people are alive, but they are already dead; some people are dead, but they are still alive.
We will not reject the ordinary, but we must stay away from mediocrity and choose perfection. Everyone should regard themselves as an outstanding artist, not a mediocre craftsman, and should always live and work with a normal heart. Only in this way can you go from ordinary to extraordinary.
Plato said: "Conquering yourself is the greatest victory. Accumulating the ordinary is accumulating excellence." Let us first conquer ourselves and realize our extraordinary life value in ordinary life
Like a small grass, I admire the majesty of the white poplar and do not belittle oneself. Through one's own struggle and hard work, one will eventually have one's own success and glory;
Like a touch of moss, one admires the beauty of the peony and does not settle for mediocrity.
Through your own practice and savings, you will eventually gain your own splendor and beauty!
When the day is gone, youth comes naturally. The moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also bloom like peonies!
It is gold that always shines
"Don't be afraid of the floating clouds covering your eyes, because you are at the highest level." This is Wang Anshi's famous sentence in "Climbing Feilai Peak". As the saying goes, any good thing can withstand the test of time. Therefore, as a gold person, as long as you have a firm belief and the spirit of "coarseness is sweet, and beauty is untainted", you will surely shine brightly one day.
"I have a pearl that shines through the sky." The old man who scavenged himself taught himself a musical instrument and was recognized by the music professor; the delivery boy Lei Haiwei won the championship in the national competition; the plastering stone Jianguo was unusually hired as a provincial calligrapher. They are at the bottom of society, but they never forget that they are gold. They did not belittle themselves, but cherished themselves. They used their own beliefs to brush away the dust on their bodies, break away from the worldly troubles, turn bitterness into sweetness, and finally get rid of all the bitterness; they worked hard to move forward, and finally showed their talents.
"To speak loudly and distance yourself is not to borrow the autumn wind." In fact, the old man scavenging, the delivery boy, and the plasterer are all worldly hats that the world puts on them, an ordinary hat. , how can it block the light emanating from the golden dream? After years of scavenging, ten years of scavenging, educating people for forty years, without taking any money, how free and easy is it? Han Yuyun said: "Teachers, so they preach and teach and solve doubts." He has already preached, so he should be a teacher, but he still calls himself a grassroots, what a big heart he has; after years of delivering meals, wandering for several years, and singing three hundred poems, How self-improving is it to have your own city? Ye Shaoweng said: "The garden is full of spring scenery and I can't stop it. A branch of red apricot comes out of the wall." He did not follow the trend but went against the current. He became a conspicuous "red apricot branch" among all living beings. I don't know if he is at this time. How proud you are; how determined you are to work for many years, leave your hometown, and write without stopping. Li Baiyun: "There will be times when strong winds break through the waves, and sails will sail across the sea." He was born in a poor family and was alone at the age of seven. He ran around for family livelihood, but he did not lose himself in the neon lights of the night sky, but in the chaos. , looking for the exit of your life in the direction of your dreams. At that moment, he was destined to be alone, but at the same time, it was a precious sobriety.
Everyone knows that the lotus "comes out of the mud but is not stained, and washes the clear ripples without being evil" and "can be viewed from a distance but not played with", but appreciate "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflect the sun." When the lotus seeds looked so red, who cared about the two months they spent in the dark before they sprouted? Those two months were endless darkness, loneliness, despair, and testing. However, it believes that it is a piece of gold that should shine incomparably. It is this belief and persistence of the lotus seed that finally grows into a lotus that is "straight in the middle and straight in the outside, with no vines or branches, the fragrance is far away and clear, and the pavilion is clean and planted"!
The same is true for things, how can people be so embarrassed?
Which one of Mr. Wu, Lei Haiwei, and Shi Jianguo is not like a lotus seed, living in the mud? They struggled in desperation to make ends meet. While many of their peers have become numb to the day-to-day grind, they haven't. Because they know that they are gold, gold among the rocks, not a piece of gravel! They are dream chasers, the only ones among all living beings who stick to their dreams. Like a small lotus seed, they are waiting for this day. This day, new shoots break out of the mud, gold nuggets break through the gravel and shine, welcoming their own sunshine. If they themselves are gold, it would be better to say that they have gold-like dreams, and those who have such dreams can always shine the most dazzling light in the darkest places.
Having said that. Throughout the ages, people who are capable of literary and military skills have emerged in endlessly on the land of China, and each of them exudes brilliant light. It is a pity that how many of them are blinded by power and money, and they can be said to be "stained by their beauty." How many of them are blinded by power and money. People, in the end, end up with "a humble house and an empty hall, but in those days the bed was full of wats"? Just as it is said in the exhortation: "The six crabs kneel down with two claws, and those who have nothing to rely on when trying to get through the hole of a non-snake and eel are impatient." People who are keen on fame and wealth, most of them have gold that shines extremely brightly, and they have talents and status that others keep at a distance.
But they used their "six kneels and two claws", each holding a sword and a halberd, and prepared to fight to the death. Little did they know that the real winner was sitting quietly in the quiet world with a whisk in hand, brushing the dust on their bodies. Perhaps they could only win after the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword. , only when you look at the gold nugget on your body that has long lost its light, you will wake up from your dream. What illuminates them at this time is not the sun, but the light of others and the light they once had.
In summary, even if you have a small piece of gold, as long as you stick to it and pay silently, it can illuminate your beautiful soul. Remember, gold always shines. Because the sun is fair, sooner or later, it will illuminate everyone who has a dream. All you have to do is persist and wait. And if you always think about shining, you don’t gently and slowly brush away the dust on the surface with a broom, but polish it with a grindstone. Not only will you suffer losses, but it will also lose its original luster. It will only go in the opposite direction. Counterproductive.
Now that we have said this, we should all understand: to enjoy loneliness, not to be arrogant or impetuous, to live peacefully in the world, not to be confused by the brilliant scenery, not to be troubled by the sound of traffic, and not to follow the bustling crowd. , wait for the day when the sun shines on you, that is when you truly shine. Only in this way can you truly let your gold shine with the incomparable brilliance it deserves.

? There are two kinds of animals that can reach the top of the pyramid. One is the eagle, which flies up with its own talents and wings; The other is a snail. It may take one or two months, or maybe a year or two, to climb to the top, and there may be a chance of falling down in the process. Even if it's not all smooth sailing, once it reaches the top, what it sees and gains is exactly the same as that of an eagle. Maybe we can't be eagles, but we can still be snails. Even if we encounter unfair fate, as long as we have trees in our hearts, we will eventually grow into a vast forest.
? Life is as brilliant as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves. A person's life cannot be grand, but at least he must have no regrets. A person can remain unknown for a lifetime, but as long as he looks back on the past, he is not ashamed of his inaction. Everything in the world is difficult and easy. If you do it, the difficult things will become easy; if you don't do it, the easy things will also become difficult. Doing one thing becomes one thing. Even if you are in the dust, there should be mountains, rivers and seas in your heart.
? With a cold eyebrow and a thousand fingers, he bows his head and is willing to be a Ruzi Niu. This is the case with Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental. He was unremarkable. Before he founded New Oriental, he was ordinary and even lackluster. But now, students at home and abroad all know his name, but his success is no accident. If he had never set such great ambitions, how could he persist in his dream? If he had never put in the effort, how could he have the courage to give it a go? If he had never had an attitude of getting along with others, how could he have prompted his classmates to return home to help. How can a person become a bright star if he does not have enough confidence, perseverance, forge ahead, and has no awe for what he does?
? Working hard and being a man with a clear conscience, Wang Jin, a great craftsman, thought for ten years and repaired it for two years, and the ancient clock came out of the dust and showed its brilliance. As a craftsman, he abides by the rules left by generations of palace restorers and would rather hurt his hands than damage cultural relics. Behind the inconspicuous gears, you can see the attitude of the craftsmen. Because of this, he dared to inherit the true legacy of previous generations, and had the confidence to speak out his instructions to future generations. Don't ignore things that are too small. This is Wang Jin's promise to us, and it should also be an example for us to learn from. Even if we are doing the most ordinary jobs and living at the bottom of society, as long as we work hard, the ugly duckling can turn into a white swan.
? It is undeniable that their success is accidental, and more people continue to live ordinary lives. But looking back at today's young people, they hate success and long for success. All they can do is comfort themselves with the so-called chicken soup for the soul. They only see the glorious side of others, but never see the suffering and fatigue that others have endured. Without his decades of passion for ancient poetry, would Lei Haiwei be able to win the championship in the poetry competition? Without persistence and hard work in music, could the old man in Nanning be recognized by the music professor? Without the bits and pieces of daily practice, could plasterer Shi Jianguo be hired as a "calligrapher and painter"? Instead of lamenting your fate, it is better to face yourself.
Even if there are many difficulties and obstacles, you can eventually find a sunny road that suits you.
? How can a pearl be so dazzling when it sees the light of day again without going through the hardening inside the mussel? How can plum blossoms be proud and independent when overlooking the world without experiencing the harshness of winter? How can a phoenix be reborn from the ashes in Nirvana without experiencing burning in the fire? If you bloom, the breeze will come.
? Do what you want, follow your heart, and don’t ask about the east or the west.
