wait for
Someone once said, "Waiting is a waste of limited life." But I think this sentence is too absolute. If you don't make progress while waiting, you just want to "wait for the rabbit". This is really a waste of life, but if you wait and slowly accumulate strength, wait until the time is right. Is success in World War I a waste of life?
"How can the water of the Yellow River move out of the sky and into the ocean, and never return?" The great potential of the Yellow River has shocked the hearts of countless people in China, but the source of the Yellow River has no such potential. She slowly absorbed other streams while waiting, grew up gradually, and finally ran to the sea with great courage. If the Yellow River could not be washed down directly at the beginning, I am afraid it would not have such boundless momentum and reputation.
Waiting is not inaction, just not rushing to start a big goal directly, and accumulating enough strength before achieving the goal. China's economic growth index has been lowered to 7% this year, which seems to be a retrogression on the surface. In fact, blindly "guaranteeing eight guarantees" and pursuing high economic growth are the impetuous performance of the whole society. In recent years, the disadvantages of the "eight guarantees" have become more and more obvious. Downgrading the economic growth index will improve people's livelihood on the one hand, and watch the situation change on the other hand, and gradually accumulate national strength. We are not in a hurry to make rapid progress, just wait quietly. As long as the time is ripe, there will be great progress.
As the saying goes, "You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient." You can't even eat hot tofu if you can't wait. How to realize the great ambition of life? Today, people only know that Gou Jian, the king of Yue, "tasted courage on his salary" and 3,000 people crossed the border to swallow Wu. But I forgot that Gou Jian waited for ten years and increased all his energy again and again. It was not until the king of Wu pointed out the Central Plains that the army began to attack the State of Wu. How many of them can hold on? It can be said that people who achieved great things in ancient times rarely had accidents. They are absolutely capable people. They are good waiters and can succeed in one fell swoop when the time is right.
How many past events have been blown down by the breeze, and how many history have been lost in the dust? "Yuanjia was careless, and the wolf was sealed in a professional place, and he won the battle and retreated to the north", which was a sigh issued by Xin Qiji, a loyal minister, after he failed to persuade those in power. Emperor Wu of Song, an official, got carried away with the demise of Southern Yan, and couldn't wait for the opportunity to come, and was finally destroyed by World War I ... This is a historical tragedy, which should be a wake-up call for people today. Even Emperor Wu of Song who gobbled up Wan Li must wait for you, otherwise there is only one way to fail. Now we have no reason not to go through the necessary waiting?
The process of waiting is unpleasant, as can be seen from Gou Jian's ten-year salary, but if he can endure the loneliness of waiting and seize the opportunity to strike hard, the result will surprise you and me. Gou Jian waited for ten years to destroy Wu in one fell swoop, and dominating the princes is the best proof.
The world always needs to wait. At this time, we should calm down, slowly accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and believe that success is not far away.
