Lu Xun’s famous saying: Fools can accomplish things

China has always been ruled by smart people, but Lu Xun said that today’s world cannot rely on smart people, it needs fools. Analyzing this statement can have many meanings.

First, the old ruling class is smart but also corrupt. It is struggling to its death and will only collude with Chinese and foreign reactionary forces to harm the people and destroy the country.

Second, China has a tradition of scholar-bureaucrats that makes intellectuals proud. Scholars stand above the crowd, look down on rough people, and feel that they are smarter than the working people. What Lu Xun meant was, don't put on such a stinky air. You smart people rule the world. Even if the world is going to be bad, power must still be given to the awakened people, the fools who were looked down upon by those scholars back then.

Competence and ability are different. Ability is just the potential to be capable. It is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient condition. People who are capable are not necessarily capable. People who are capable but do nothing are actually unworthy of the good conditions given to them by God. They often live a poor life. What they embody is a natural combination of nastiness and arrogance. Kong Yiji, written by Lu Xun, is a typical representative. He has a certain ability and can accurately describe several ways of writing fennel beans, but he just doesn't do anything and ends up poor and arrogant.

Being capable does not only mean being able to do one thing. Some people are more capable of doing one or two things well, but they achieve nothing throughout their lives. Being capable means being able to accomplish something or accomplish a career.

1. Learn to focus

A capable person must have used the focusing principle intentionally or unintentionally.

The so-called focus principle is that a person can gather his own energy and fully mobilize his own energy to do things.

How to gather energy?

1. Concentrate your attention

Attention reflects the direction of energy, but it does not reflect the magnitude of energy.

People who are focused will gather their energy in the same direction. Only when the direction is right can the energy be used most effectively.

I had an experience when I was a child. People with good academic performance are not people with fast brain reactions, but people with special concentration.

Focus is power.

...

2. Enhance mobility

One of the fundamental reasons for people with weak mobility is that they always think about things and think too much. Thoughts are not actions, so sometimes thinking is the enemy of doing things.

If you want to enhance your ability to act, one way is to carry out your thoughts and actions in stages. When you are thinking about something, think about it with concentration, and when you are doing something, do it with concentration. No matter what difficulties you encounter, do it as you have planned in advance.

2. Master the directionality of time

As we all know, space has three-dimensional characteristics, that is, front and back, left and right, up and down. Then time also has its characteristics, that is, irreversible directionality. Some people do not understand the direction of time and do things as they happen without any goal. The things they do are not related to what they have done in the past, nor are they related to the goals they want to achieve in the future, or they have no goals at all. Life is full of busyness and inaction.

A capable person must have grasped the directional characteristics of time. Before doing something, he will first choose whether he should do it and whether he should spend the time in front of him. In fact, make the right choice in the direction of time. The second is to persist and stick to the right direction.

What a capable person is doing now is not only a continuation of a series of things in the past, but also an extension and approach to future goals. Continuity and causality have become his style of doing things.

3. Learn how to survive for the weak

Those who have the abilities in the first two aspects must not rely on their own swords to show off their strength. In the middle of the hand, the way for the strong to survive is to conquer. If you try to be strong, you may become an object conquered by someone stronger than you, and thus become a victim.

Therefore, a capable person must learn the "weak" way of survival.

4. Learn to deal with "nothing"

The three aspects discussed above, no matter whether they are strong or weak, are just about dealing with "something". "Dealing with nothing is not enough, a competent person must also learn to deal with "nothing".

The so-called "nothing" is something beyond human cognition and control.

Our view of the universe is limited. From a macro perspective, we cannot recognize and control things beyond a certain range, and we regard them as "nothing"; from a micro perspective, things as small as We cannot recognize and control things within a certain range, and we also regard them as "nothing". Even though there are many things within the scope of our cognition, many are difficult for us to see through and grasp. They are also "nothing" to us.

Things that we can recognize and control are considered "there".

5. Learn to be "empty"

When you learn to deal with "being", it is persistence. Persistence will give you a sense of control, but it will often bring about opposition and bring about pain.

When you learn to deal with "nothing", it means giving up. Giving up means you can only follow luck, and you feel very passive.

So even if you master dealing with "have" and "nothing", you are either the master of pain or the slave of fate.

The highest state of a truly capable person is to learn to be "empty".

What is emptiness?

Empty includes "have" and "nothing".

Emptiness is impermanent. Any achievements will become the past and insignificant. We must forget the achievements we have already achieved, be open-minded and empty ourselves. Any bad luck will become a thing of the past. We should not get stuck in troubles and regrets and be unable to extricate ourselves. Don't be swayed by emotions and thoughts, stay calm and calm to get out of trouble.

Once you master the above five aspects, you will become a capable person. It is that simple to become a capable person.

If you raise young people with grain, they will never grow strong, and your future achievements will be even smaller. ——Lu Xun

We all remember Lu Xun’s famous saying: “I bow my head and am willing to be a coward”. This is actually a perfect portrayal of Lu Xun’s life. Lu Xun is the "Ruzi Niu" who worked hard for the Chinese people and the Chinese nation throughout his life. He illuminated the reality and future of the nation with his profound thoughts, just like another famous saying of Lu Xun said: "What you eat is grass, squeeze out the grass." "It's milk and blood." To this day, the milk and blood brewed by Lu Xun with his great thoughts are still nourishing every follower who pursues ideals and light, including me and you. In modern times, the Chinese nation's transformation from weakness to strength cannot but be said to be closely related to Lu Xun's continuous delivery of spiritual "milk" and "blood" to us. Therefore, Lu Xun is our "national soul"! Lu Xun's great thoughts did not arise out of thin air. This is naturally inseparable from the fact that he read a large number of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign books with an independent spirit throughout his life. It can be said that this is Lu Xun's reason for being a "Ru Ziniu" "The process of eating "grass" desperately. To understand Lu Xun, why not start by understanding how Lu Xun studied? Lu Xun’s achievements in literature are indeed like a mountain that lies in front of us. Therefore, if you want to establish yourself as the master of the mountain in literature, you will naturally aim at it. Lu Xun's shoulders even showed the momentum of stepping on his shoulders one after another. No, the famous writer Han Shishan also recently wrote an article in "Literary Freedom Talk" (Issue 1, 2003, "Introspection, Adjustment and Others"), and he also stepped on Lu Xun's shoulders. When Mr. Han talked about Lu Xun, he asserted: "To say that he is the leader of new culture and the founder of new literature is really not worthy of his name." Then Mr. Han analyzed Lu Xun's articles piece by piece: "His articles, including novels, also put effort into the words. His literary idea is to practice calligraphy. For example, he said that after writing, he should read it at least three times (in fact, Lu Xun I said it twice. I don’t know whether Mr. Han was negligent or had other intentions. See Lu Xun’s "Answers to Beidou Magazine's Questions"). He tried his best to delete the dispensable words, phrases and sentences. Delete unnecessary words, sentences, and paragraphs'). After deleting and deleting, there are only a few dry tendons left, the plumpness is gone, and the heartiness is gone.

"Mr. Han, who read Lu Xun so voraciously, even did not miss the sentence written by Lu Xun, "She was holding a bamboo basket in one hand, with an empty bowl in it." Mr. Han borrowed the words of his student and said: " Why didn't Lu Xun say there was an empty broken bowl inside, but why did he say there was a broken bowl inside and it was empty? "Mr. Han is so determined to pick out the bones from the eggs. It's really difficult for him!
