With two kinds of teachings, I have trudged on the road of life, experienced some storms and witnessed the success or failure of others. I feel more and more: in this world, we should be fearless.
There are always too many pursuits in life. When people pursue their ideals, it is not always smooth sailing, and there will always be things that make you afraid. At this point, if you overcome your fears, you will succeed. Seiji Ozawa, a famous conductor, was a man who overcame his fears and achieved success. In a commanding contest, the first two commanders had discordant music in the process of commanding, but they all managed to command well. It's Seiji Ozawa's turn to play. He is proceeding carefully, but there is a similar situation. He stopped, adjusted and conducted again, but there was still discordant music. He said to the referee, "This movement has dissonance." The referee shouted angrily, "This is the most authoritative music." Seiji Ozawa hesitated for a moment. Yes, this is the most authoritative music, but there are also some incongruous jokes. He thought about it, but he still expressed his opinion to the referee. At this moment, the referee applauded thunderously, and Seiji Ozawa won.
Didn't the first two commanders find this problem? No, it's because they are afraid of authority and dare not stick to their views like Seiji Ozawa. Finally, they failed.
Not being afraid can give people infinite strength to overcome difficulties and succeed in the face of difficulties. But being too fearless can also push people into the abyss.
In today's materialistic and wishful thinking, some people are too fearless after experiencing this world. After studying hard at the cold window for more than ten years, I finally returned home dressed in gold and full of lofty sentiments. When I was ready to make contributions, someone pushed the misplaced fear and unafraid to the abyss. They want to work for the people's welfare, but because of all kinds of prevarication, they get nothing. Are they afraid of people's happiness? There are always some lawless people who want to profit from it, and piles of money are spread out on their desks. Some people took a lot of money without fear, and finally the apprentice was ruined by the court decision. The authority of the law should be feared.
The road of life has been extending under your feet, and the end point is still in the vast white fog. Unexpected things always accompany us and disturb our progress. No matter how the world changes, we should remain rational and never let fear and fearlessness be misplaced. Remember: be afraid, be fearless!
