Some people don't know how to give up and think that giving up is the embodiment of weakness in life. Napoleon once said, "In my dictionary, there is no such word as failure." Even with superb military strategy and command ability, it once swept across the European continent and was invincible, but it did not escape the bad luck of fiasco in the end. It can be seen that giving up, although seemingly weak, is actually a manifestation of one's strength. This requires great courage and boldness. Especially when success and victory come one after another, knowing how to give up will make you more general and heroic. Napoleon only knew to advance blindly, but he didn't know to give up at the right time. Failure is only a matter of time.
In fact, giving up and getting are dialectical unity and complement each other. Give up in this respect, and you will get it in other aspects; The more you gain in this respect, the more you lose in other aspects, and there is often a balance between gains and losses. Life belongs to us only once, and the course of life is short. There are so many things worth pursuing in one's life that we have to give up some things. Only by knowing how to give up will you know how to have. At the beginning of the founding of New China, Qian Xuesen, a famous scientist in China, gave up the high salary, comfortable life and advanced scientific research conditions in the United States, overcame all difficulties and resolutely returned to China to join in the construction of new China, making an indelible contribution to the scientific and technological take-off of the motherland.
Giving up is not unprincipled giving up. Knowing how to give up is a "good thing", such as fame and fortune. Any gain of fame and fortune is temporary and will be lost one day. Just as someone said, "When a person is an official, one breath is a piece of paper, and when he dies, he is a bag of ashes." Sometimes giving up these "good things" is not only an acquisition, but also a higher-level acquisition.
However, the pursuit of truth and belief needs to be adhered to and cannot be abandoned under any circumstances. If we give up the pursuit of truth and belief, we will lose our personality and dignity. The ancients said it well: "Be ambitious, be generous and be willing to mourn." In the face of fame and fortune, if you don't give up, you will eventually lose not only what you don't deserve, but also the dignity of being a man. "It's been a hundred years since you lost your footing."
Giving up is a state. People who know how to give up are calm as water, have no delusions about things outside their bodies, and will not add troubles and inner anxiety to ill-gotten gains. Giving up is a kind of wisdom in the eyes of people who know how to give up. They always know what can and can't be done. They always stand on the commanding heights of life to analyze problems and make correct decisions. Giving up is also a kind of generosity. Those who know how to give up will never care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool. Their goal is long-term and real acquisition.
