As the saying goes, "the children of the poor are in charge early." Environment has a certain influence on people's growth. People in adversity can face themselves more squarely, tap their courage and great potential, work hard and eventually become useful talents.
As far as success is concerned, whether it is good or bad, it is an external cause and depends on internal factors. This can explain why "heroes have been poor since ancient times, playboys are few and warriors are many", because people in prosperity are easily confused, often greedy for enjoyment, do not know how to make progress, and do not know what suffering is. Without ambition and enterprise, how can they succeed? People in adversity are different. They went through hardships and struggled against fate and difficulties again and again. In order to get out of adversity, most of them set lofty aspirations and firm goals. People don't look up without pressure and have no motivation to forge ahead. Once both are combined, it will exert amazing potential. This is exactly what rich people generally don't have.
Of course, since the environment is an external cause, not all people in prosperity can't succeed, let alone all people in adversity. There is no necessary connection between them. If people in prosperity can't be comfortable, set their ambitions and work hard, why worry about being unsuccessful? On the contrary, people in adversity, if they can't stand suffering, will be depressed and even swallowed up.
Throughout the ages, many celebrities have succeeded in adversity. For example, Sima Qian, who was jailed because of the Li Ling case, suffered great humiliation, but he finally overcame many hardships and wrote a brilliant masterpiece, Historical Records. Another example is China Hyundai Zhang, who experienced a great transformation from a swimmer to a paraplegic, but he did not recover, but turned it into motivation. Many things that healthy people can't do have been done. And Zhang Haidi and Li Zhengdao ... There are countless celebrities who have succeeded in adversity. The students in Beijing Hongzhi class all grew up in difficulties and learned to overcome them with courage, wisdom and strength. They are like grass in the field, but they have been ravaged by wind and rain without lodging. How can the vitality of those "flowers" in the greenhouse compare with them?
"The sky will drop to a great post, and people must first suffer their minds, work their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, and empty their bodies, so they can't bear it." It seems that they can't reach the other side of victory without experiencing wind and rain. Without experiencing wind and rain, you can't see the rainbow; If you don't suffer, you can't achieve great things. So, young man, if you are in prosperity, please step out of the "greenhouse" and take the courage to meet the difficult challenges; If you are in adversity, don't be discouraged. You should bravely overcome the difficulties. As someone said, "Suffering is a school." And learning well still depends on yourself.
Adversity has long been a gift.
Adversity refers to a difficult, unsatisfactory or even bad unfortunate situation. It may make people anxious and painful, but it can also temper people's will and inspire people to forge ahead.
The sentence that adversity makes talents illustrates this profound truth.
Sun Kang of Jin Dynasty loved reading when he was a child, and his family was poor, so he couldn't afford lamp oil, so he braved the cold of winter night and borrowed snow to reflect his reading. In Che Yin of Jin Dynasty, fireflies were packed in white silk bags in summer, and they read by the light of fireflies. Unfortunately, people can stand the test better than happy people, so the poor cherish time more than the rich.
Difficulties and setbacks are a fortune to people with perseverance. Zhouyi was written by Zhou in prison. The Spring and Autumn Annals was written by Confucius after his career was frustrated. Qu Yuan wrote Li Sao when he was exiled. Zuo Qiuming wrote Mandarin after he became blind. Sun Bin's knee was cut off, making the art of war. Sima Qian wrote Historical Records after he went to prison. It can be seen that hardship is the most precious wealth. Beethoven said: Nothing can temper a person's virtue like bad luck. Failure is a blow to the weak, but it is an encouragement to the strong.
Schubert, a world famous composer, was born in a poor teacher's family in Austria. Because my father's income is meager, it is common that he can't eat. One night, he passed by a hotel and unconsciously went in, expecting to meet an acquaintance to borrow money to buy something to eat. He waited a long time, but he didn't. At this time, he found an old newspaper on the ground, picked it up and saw some new songs, so he had a whim and wrote a lullaby. The boss was fired.
Plum blossom fragrance is not bitter and cold, why can it smell? These famous examples all illustrate this point. If the children of the poor can take care of themselves early and grow and learn in adversity, they will become useful people.
Adversity is a grindstone, which can sharpen the will to forge ahead and the indomitable spirit. Adversity is a school where people can learn a wealth of life knowledge.
