But we don't need to be "perfect" after all, and we don't need to savor a drop in the ocean.
More than two thousand years ago, Xunzi wrote "Encouraging Learning", and "the importance of learning" has penetrated into the heart of every aspirant in history. However, today, another kind of dilemma wraps the skin of "encouraging learning" and throws us into an abyss called "learning anxiety". No matter how hard we struggle, it won't help.
Everyone is eagerly involved in the craze of "learning": Taobao buys boxes of world famous works, full of annual plans that can't be remembered, and always pays attention to how many words your friends have read this week. .......................................................................................................................
The air of panic and anxiety fills the mobile phone screen, rushing to the ear, urging again and again: it is too late to learn. Therefore, we have to be forced to "willingly" turn ourselves into superman in the future and become a top magician who can accomplish everything "impossible". In this way, we will have a moment's peace of mind and a moment's belief that "a beautiful day will come."
But whenever the future comes as promised, after we greet her wearily, we are caught off guard, and a prompt appears on our mobile phone, which reads: There are still five tasks unfinished today. In fact, we really want to barely support our heavy body and strive to do a good job. Looking at every small box in the plan, there is a gratifying tick, but the sense of fatigue presses our eyelids relentlessly every time, and finally we unconsciously turn over the page of "Today". A month later, when I see hundreds of "unfinished task lists", I can't help but doubt my ability to complete the task. At the end of the month, I will stare at a blank plan completion list for a few days, and finally I have to let the "prompt" ring at will, but my body is unmoved. We always feel small, especially when we are submerged in a huge amount of information and can't surface from the rough sea. There is always a distant and deep cry in our ears urging us to dabble in various fields until we can watch the ebb and flow of the tide calmly. This is not so much a lofty ambition as a necessary condition for "perfection" and a result that can only be achieved in theory.
But we don't need to be "perfect" after all, and we don't need to savor a drop in the ocean. Why should we try to understand everything in the world? Why should we intensify this panic with pain and fatigue? Don't let this endless anxiety take away the happiness and happiness that learning should have.
"Instantaneous noise mocks eternal music," Tagore said. Don't be anxious because of the vast world and the endless information that the world throws at us. While remembering that "learning has increased", we should also remember "being lost by Tao". We should understand that we should get rid of the thick skin of "encouraging learning". Only in this way can we climb out of the abyss of anxiety and enjoy the happiness of learning with a relaxed mood.
