Don't be arrogant in good times, don't be afraid of adversity, and don't give up in desperate situations - the three wisdoms of life
Life is like a magnificent picture, with both windy and sunny days and stormy moments. In this long and tortuous journey, how can we not be arrogant in good times, not afraid of adversity, and not give up in desperate situations, so as to write our own wonderful chapter?
First, the good times are not arrogant
Favorable times, like warm sunshine, shine on our way forward. However, in good times, the most common mistake we make is complacency. As the ancients said: "Full of losses, humble benefits." "In good times, we should maintain a humble heart and keep forging ahead in order to avoid failure caused by pride.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin, a generation of Ming monarchs, created a prosperous era of Zhenguan's rule. However, during his reign, he always maintained a humble attitude, humbly accepting advice, and following the flow of goodness. It was this quality of modesty and prudence that enabled him to lead the Tang Dynasty to prosperity. On the other hand, some emperors in history, such as Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, were in good times, but they were arrogant and lascivious, which eventually led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty. These historical lessons teach us how important it is to remain humble in good times.
Another example is Mr. Qian Zhongshu, a famous modern scholar, who has made remarkable achievements in academics and is known as "Cultural Kunlun". However, he kept a low profile in life and never flaunted his talents. He once said: "My surname is Qian, but I don't love money." This quality of modesty and prudence has earned him widespread respect and praise in the academic world.
2. Not afraid of adversity
Adversity, like a bitter cold wind, tests our will and perseverance. However, in the face of adversity, the most important thing we should do is to maintain our firm beliefs and face challenges bravely. As the famous saying goes, "Difficulties are like springs, if you are weak, they will be strong." "In the face of adversity, only by facing it bravely can we overcome difficulties and usher in a turning point.
Su Wu, a loyal envoy during the Western Han Dynasty. He was detained by the Huns for 19 years, and in the face of coercion and temptation, he always adhered to his beliefs and did not change his original intention. He shepherded sheep on the shores of the North Sea, and with his actions he explained what loyalty and courage are. It is this firm belief and brave spirit that has made Su Wu an immortal hero in history.
Another example is the famous modern writer Shi Tiesheng, who was disabled due to illness when he was young and lost the ability to walk. However, he did not bow to fate, but used a pen to write his love for life and thoughts on life. His works are full of profound insights into life and delicate portrayals of human nature, and have become a shining pearl in the Chinese literary world. Shi Tiesheng's story tells us that no matter how difficult it is, as long as we have firm faith and brave spirit, we will be able to overcome the disease and create a wonderful life of our own.
3. Don't give up in a desperate situation
Desperate situations, like dark abysses, make people feel hopeless and helpless. However, in a desperate situation, the most important thing we should do is to persevere and never give up. As the famous saying goes: "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." "As long as we don't give up hope, we will be able to find our way to success.
Gou Jian, the monarch of the Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. After losing the war with Wu, he was forced to go to Wu to work as a slave. However, he did not give up his rule over the Yue Kingdom and his thirst for revenge. He endured humiliation and accumulation of strength in the state of Wu, and finally succeeded in recovering the country and defeating the state of Wu. It is this spirit of never giving up that has made Gou Jian one of the famous overlords in history.
Another example is the famous modern physicist Mr. Stephen Hawking, who was seriously ill and paralyzed, but his mind was extremely active. He has made remarkable achievements in the field of physics and has put forward many subversive theories. Stephen Hawking's story tells us that no matter how difficult it is, as long as we do not give up the pursuit of knowledge and the love of life, we will be able to create our own brilliant achievements in the field of science.
Fourth, the situation changes with your heart and embraces life
Life is like a spiritual practice, and we are constantly going through various trials in the process. Whether it is good times, bad times or desperate times, it is a tempering of our heart and will. Only when we learn to adjust our mentality to adapt to different situations can we truly turn our minds and embrace life.
In good times, we should maintain a humble and enterprising attitude, and constantly pursue higher goals; In the face of adversity, we must be firm in our faith and brave in the face of challenges, believing that we can overcome all difficulties; In desperate situations, we must persevere to the end and never give up hope, believing that there is always a turning point waiting for us.
At the same time, we must also learn to cherish every moment, whether it is joy or pain, it is a precious treasure that life gives us. We must feel the beauty of life with our hearts and taste the ups and downs of life. Only in this way can we continue to move forward on the road of life and write our own wonderful chapter.
Finally, let us remember these three wisdoms: not to be arrogant in good times, not to be afraid of adversity, and not to give up in desperate situations. Let us continue to practice and grow in the journey of life to become a better version of ourselves. May we all be able to maintain a peaceful and firm heart in the days to come, no matter what circumstances we encounter, move forward bravely, and create our own brilliant life.
Fifth, learn from history and draw wisdom
In the long history, countless sages have used their experience and wisdom to provide us with valuable references. From Confucius's "golden mean" to Laozi's "rule by doing nothing", from Mencius's "born in sorrow and die in peace" to Zhuangzi's "wandering the world", these all provide us with wisdom to deal with good times, bad times and desperate situations.
In good times, we can learn from Tang Taizong's humility and advice, keep a clear mind, and constantly pursue excellence; In the face of adversity, we can learn from Su Wu's firm beliefs, bravely face challenges, and turn difficulties into motivation; In a desperate situation, we can emulate Gou Jian's lying salary, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity.
At the same time, we must also learn to learn from failures and find opportunities for growth from setbacks. As Edison said, "I didn't fail, I just found ten thousand ways that didn't work." "Every failure is a necessary path to success, as long as we don't give up, we will be able to find a way that suits us.
6. Adjust your mindset and embrace change
Life is full of uncertainties, and we can't predict what the future holds, but we can choose how to face change. In good times, we should maintain a humble and enterprising attitude, and constantly pursue higher goals; In the face of adversity, we must be firm in our faith and brave in the face of challenges, believing that we can overcome all difficulties; In desperate situations, we must persevere to the end and never give up hope, believing that there is always a turning point waiting for us.
At the same time, we also need to learn to adjust our mindset to adapt to different situations. When we encounter good times, we should not get too carried away and keep a normal heart and continue to work hard; When we encounter adversity, we should not be too pessimistic and disappointed, but maintain an optimistic heart and actively look for solutions to problems; When we encounter a desperate situation, we should not despair too much, but keep a strong heart, believing that there is always a turning point waiting for us.
VII. Conclusion
Life is like a magnificent picture, and good times, bad times and desperate times are indispensable colors. Only when we learn to remain humble in good times, brave in adversity, and never give up in desperate situations, can we truly understand the true meaning of life and write our own wonderful chapter.
Let us remember these three wisdoms: not arrogant in good times, not afraid of adversity, and never give up in desperate situations. Let us continue to practice and grow in the journey of life to become a better version of ourselves. May we all be able to maintain a peaceful and firm heart in the days to come, no matter what circumstances we encounter, move forward bravely, and create our own brilliant life.
