"People who are satisfied are happy" comes from Lao Tzu's saying that "if you are satisfied, you will not be humiliated, and Zhi Zhi will stay still for a long time". This sentence is used to educate people who are insatiable and constantly ask for it from society. However, as our information society today, this sentence is debatable.
As the saying goes, "One mountain is high and one mountain is low." There is no limit to learning the sea. We must be conscientious and down-to-earth, and always realize that our knowledge and achievements are insignificant. We must not let the vines of pride and satisfaction hinder our progress. When it is slightly budding, we should cut it down, at the same time, we should use humble crutches to detect the danger ahead for ourselves and cover the ground with thorns.
However, some middle school students nowadays have only dabbled in their studies and are content with a little knowledge. After learning calligraphy for a few days, I began to dance "Weeds". The layman didn't know it and just shook his head. After learning to write, they wrote a few essays, thinking that they had learned something, and they liked to brush it off without drafting or revising it. As a result, they "ugly" those who learned to run a business, and they would get carried away after doing two businesses. As a result, their boxing skills are very poor, and they often suffer big losses in the ups and downs of business, and even lose everything. I deeply feel that it is difficult for them to make progress in their studies. Mo Bosang fell at Flaubert's door and studied hard for many years before publishing his first novel. Is it because he was not good enough before? No, it's just that he has learned a lot and doesn't want to show his edge. If he doesn't say anything, it's just a blockbuster. His first work, The Road to Suicide, caused a great sensation. Later called "the king of short stories". It can be seen that good workers are good at learning, and good learners can treat learning with an open mind.
Writing here, I suddenly thought of a story in Zongchan. A disciple longed to go out for many years and told his master that he had learned enough. The master told him to put a bowl of stones and asked him, "Is it full?" "Full", the apprentice is very confident. The master grabbed a handful of fine sand and mixed it in, but the sand didn't overflow. "Full?" "It's full this time." The apprentice looked ashamed. The master grabbed the ash and spilled it all over the floor. "Is it full?" "Full". The apprentice seems to have realized something. The master poured another glass of water, but the water still didn't overflow. The apprentice was afraid to answer again.
Knowledge is that bowl, no matter how full it looks on the surface, it is actually not full at all. Therefore, we must never be proud of our studies. Remember Shakespeare's words: "Proud people always destroy themselves in pride."
Therefore, only by treating everything with contentment can we have a peaceful mind and make great progress.
Ask again: Do you have any less? . Honey. . Too many. .
Answer again: "Opportunity breeds talent"? In the thousands of years of human civilization, many outstanding figures have emerged, who are either all-powerful or leaders; Or determined to study, fruitful; Or handed down from generation to generation by literary masterpieces, or left a name by artistic treasures. It is undeniable that many of them have not only extraordinary qualities, but also enviable opportunities. If there is no chance, Churchill may just be a mediocre graduate of the Royal Military Academy, while Darwin may become an incompetent priest under the pressure of his parents, huh? Henry may be a professional journalist forever, but some people have come to the conclusion that "opportunity breeds talent". They believe that as long as there are opportunities, success is within reach, and once they encounter setbacks, they will shout "talent has not met" and become discouraged. This is not desirable. "Rome was not built in a day." Similarly, success is by no means a matter of time. It is like a seed, deeply buried in the soil, constantly absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, enduring severe winter and drought, and more and more conditions are available to break through the ground. At this time, the opportunity is like a timely rain, allowing the seeds to germinate and bloom smoothly. But if it is only a withered seed, no matter how good the spring rain is, it will only be moldy and even rotten in the soil. In the final analysis, the role of opportunity is so much. Without your own efforts and persistence, no matter how sweet the smile of fate is, success can only be empty talk. Opportunity is only a catalyst for success, and it is by no means a prerequisite for success. Mark? Twain said: "Opportunity gives people only one chance, but diligence can give people a lot." The favor of opportunity lies in great enthusiasm and unremitting efforts to work. Chance may succeed, but it will definitely succeed.
