Text: Su Jian talks about life
Original article, please do not plagiarize
The ancients said:
"People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries."
Half a life has passed, everything has been experienced, but nothing has been achieved; Running around all day long, the accident of fate did not take a detour.
The ups and downs of the second half of life made us realize that the most important thing in this life is to hold three things tightly in our hands.
Only by holding these three things tightly, whether it is glory and wealth or family wealth, it is incomparable.
Only by grasping these three things tightly can we truly grasp the direction of life.
1. Hold it tightly and be healthy,
It's fundamental
The Tao Te Ching says:
"Heaven is the way, the way is long, and there is no body to die."
Nowadays, many people feel that life is very stressful, not only with a high credit card every month, but also desperately working overtime.
Many young people always feel that they are "King Kong bodies" and do not realize the importance of health at all.
I once heard a story like this:
Once upon a time, two people wanted to go to an island in the middle of the sea.
So after discussing with the two of them, they decided to build a ship and go to the island.
In order to build the ship as soon as possible, the first person went to build the ship day and night, forgetting sleep and food.
Even if it was exposed to the wind and the sun, this person never rested for half a moment.
As a result, the ship was not yet built, but the man fell ill and was bedridden from then on.
And the second person, who only works at sunrise and rests at sunset, encounters cloudy days and windy and rainy, so that his body is not violated, he no longer works.
It didn't take long for the boat to be built and the dream of going to the island came true.
As Zweig said:
"When a man is young, he always thinks that sickness and death will only patronize others."
No matter how much advice you listen to, you still go your own way, stay up late and become commonplace, and even overeat.
In life, you can still live without money, and if you don't have money, it's empty talk.
You must know that the changes of yin and yang in these four seasons are the foundation of all things.
Human beings come from nature and must also follow the laws of nature to survive.
Only by conforming to the laws of natural change can we live a healthy life.
2. Hold a good attitude,
to be less worried
The Tao Te Ching says:
"All things work together, and I will see them return."
All this abundance will return to its roots.
If a person has a bad mentality, acts recklessly, and does not understand the laws of the operation of the Great Dao, he will invite dangerous disasters.
Everything we encounter in life is attracted by our own inner magnet, and illness is no exception.
What kind of mentality you have, what kind of body you have.
There is an old man in his 90s in the village, and every time I pass by his house, I always see him sitting on a stone bench in front of the door and smiling.
At that time, when I was young, I didn't know what happened to the old man.
I went back to my mother and said, "That old man always likes to smile."
The mother said: "When he was young, his wife died, and the year before last, the eldest son and second son also died, and now he and his grandson are left in the family."
I said, "I'm still happy to look at him."
The mother said, "If you don't want to be gone, you'll be fine."
In this life, people live a life, live a mentality, and if the mentality is good, the body will be smooth.
Life is not perfect, and you have to allow life to be flawed.
In addition to life and death, there are few important things in life, and no matter what kind of life you live into, it has nothing to do with others.
Without a good attitude, you are destined to live a bad life.
3. Grasp the virtue deeply,
It's cultivation
The Tao Te Ching says:
"If you accumulate virtue, you will not be able to overcome it."
Many times in life, the beginning is your own choice, but in fact it is the arrangement of fate.
A person who is virtuous not only harms others, but also sows the seeds of sin in the depths of his own heart.
This seed will one day take root and sprout, and it will be full of evils.
In ancient times, there was a scholar who repeatedly failed in scientific examinations.
When he was in a low mood, he asked a Taoist chief for a reason.
The Taoist chief looked at him, he stroked his beard and said, "Your ancestors, there were once people who were unvirtuous, and he ruined the official fortunes of his descendants, and even his descendants would be ruined."
So, when the man returned home, he decided to benefit his neighbors.
After a long time, he became what people call a great benevolent person.
Later, his son was admitted to the Jinshi and became a senior official of the imperial court step by step.
In the same way, the son also serves the country and the people, and benefits the people.
Since then, the family has been praised for generations.
Virtue determines fate; Kindness changes lives.
Some people, do not change their virtues, go to buy lottery tickets every day, but how do he know that if there is no virtue to carry the jackpot, even after winning the lottery, it will be a disaster.
In the second half of life, only with profound virtue can we have a happy life.

In the "Aphorisms", it says:
"Every day, not afraid of thousands of miles; Do it often, and don't be afraid of thousands of things. ”
When people reach middle age, many things will catch us off guard, and we have to sigh at the impermanence of fate.
We can only start from the little things and change the habits from the little things.
Slowly, our inner self will change, and life will become smoother and smoother.
