Persistence is a kind of persistence, straightness and flexibility.
"Frosting is not the same, you can see high branches", which is easy to stick to in the cold; "There are many phoenix trees, bamboo has no food, and there is no drink in Liquan", which is Feng Chu's insistence among nobles; Sweat seven times in eight years and drown nine times in ten years. This is the persistence of the sea in the vastness.
Time is always drifting away in the footsteps of growth, and history is always clearer and clearer in the memory of the past. We will vaguely see a frustrated person wandering by the Miluo River. He is in rags and skinny. He chose to vote for Miluo in the pain of "I am alone in the world, and everyone is drunk and I am alone". He is Qu Yuan. He persisted in his lifelong belief-unyielding. It will be remembered forever.
A noble poet lives in seclusion in the peach blossom garden of Chaisang in Xunyang. He has the ambition of "securing the world and helping the world", but he is excluded by the officialdom and sees through the vulgarity and filth of his official career. So, he decided to go back to the countryside, quit his job and wander away. His character-nobility-makes people admire him.
Aren't they immortal because they stick to lofty beliefs? But sometimes it's not enough to stick to it. As the Book of Changes says, "Poverty leads to change, and change leads to communication." Therefore, when persistence becomes meaningless paranoia, we should let go. At this time, letting go can be flexible, meaningless or valuable.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the notice has always followed the predecessors' skills, with little effect, and the social economy has always fallen into the trough after the "rule of culture and scenery". On one occasion, Dong Zhongshu talked with him about the need for political reform and innovation. Dong Shi believes that "change without change, there is no good governance of great sages." So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty followed his advice and implemented the New Deal, which ushered in the prosperity of the Han Dynasty for half a century. If | "time changes", it will leave future trouble. In the Battle of the Three Kingdoms Street Pavilion, Ma Su was headstrong and condescended to Sun Tzu's Art of War. With "one when ten" to the battlefield, but was besieged by Wei Jun in the mountains, cut off the water, and finally lost without a fight.
There is no eternal truth in the world. We should not only stick to it like ferrets, but also understand that we should be flexible when it is time. The longer you insist on brewing nectar with elasticity, Mika, the iron wall built with elasticity will be impregnable! Please remember: while sticking to your dreams, don't forget to plug in "elastic" wings!
