In our daily life, ants and sparrows can be seen everywhere. I believe your first impression of them is hard work and noisy. Both of them occupy most people's childhood, leaving a very deep memory, especially for those children living in rural areas.
I have lived in the countryside since I was a child. At that time, ants were everywhere. When I was a child, I liked to catch ants to play with. And when I saw a group of ants moving things much bigger than my body, I thought it was amazing. Want to know why their small bodies have so much power. And when I was a child, I often caught sparrows, used bamboo baskets as traps, and then used food as bait. When I was lucky, I also gained a lot.
Childhood memories of them are fun, but when I grow up, I find that these two things actually map two completely different lives. So people say, "It's better to be an ant's leg than a sparrow's mouth". It means that one would rather be an ant's leg than imitate a sparrow's mouth. Why do you say that? In fact, it contains a lot of truth about being a man. Next, let's take a look with the author.
Ants are very small, but they can move objects ten times larger than their own bodies, relying on teamwork and their own diligence, both of which are very important. Ants' legs symbolize diligence and hard work.
This sentence tells us that the most important thought is that we must be diligent and practical, and we must not be afraid of suffering, so that we can achieve something. Based on the society, your ability is the most important and will be the guarantee of your life. At the same time, we must learn to keep learning and learn to bear the suffering we should bear. Life has nothing to do with enjoying success at any moment.
At the same time, teamwork is a very important thing in a group. There are many things that are difficult to do by yourself, but with the help of the team, it will become easy. This is why many companies regard unity as part of their corporate culture.
Although ants are small, they are very powerful. This is because of unity. There is a saying that "a levee of a thousand miles collapses in an ant nest", but it is impossible for an ant to build an ant nest, which shows the strength of the group.
Looking at the second half of the sentence, it is actually more realistic. Sparrows give people the biggest impression that they are noisy, and sometimes they sound annoying. Moreover, in the autumn harvest, people hate sparrows most, because they steal a lot of food. Although a sparrow can't eat much, this kind of thing also exists in groups. Even excreted in the grain, which is even more annoying.
Therefore, the sparrow's mouth implies that the person who talks endlessly, talks less and does more is the king of life. This kind of person is sad to think about it. They live entirely by their own mouths, and their imaginary success only exists in their mouths, without actual actions.
There is another kind of people who are particularly fond of gossiping, and most of them are gossips of others, which is what we usually call "gossips". Such people are even more annoying, no matter good or bad, true or false, they are addicted to the mouth first. Regardless of the feelings of the parties, many keyboard men on the internet now have this trait. They talk nonsense, and wherever the wind blows, it falls.
Although these two things are common in daily life, the truth they want to tell us is not simple at all. So manage your emotions and your mouth at ordinary times. We don't need to discuss the right and wrong of others, just do what we should do. However, although the reason is simple, how many people can do it? I don't know what you think about this.
