If there is a state of mind that can make people always happy, it is willingness; if there is a state of mind that can make people remain graceful, it is willingness; if there is a state of mind that can make people When people are contented, they are willing to give up. Reluctance is like a crescent moon hanging in the sky, emitting charming light; it is also like a pine tree standing on a steep cliff, containing the spirit of a master...
Be willing to be willing to give up. Only when you are willing to give up can you gain something.
The ancients said: "Haste makes waste, and small gains make great things impossible." While the ancients reminded themselves all the time, they also continued to practice it. "Wine wine after dusk", watch the sun rise in the east and set in the west, quietly observe the various changes in the world, and live in a poetic way. Living simply and living freely is their lifelong pursuit. They gave up high official positions and generous salaries, gave up the pursuit of fame and fortune, and finally gained leisure and became the masters of life. Although Tao Yuanming, a famous poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, resigned from office and went into seclusion, his success was due to his thoughts of not seeking glory and profit, being frank and natural, and being happy with poverty. How beautiful is the mood of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing the Nanshan Mountain leisurely"!
Life is nothing more than poetry, wine, philosophy, and emotions. Do not recite useless poems, do not get drunk on useless wine, do not read useless books, and do not appreciate useless feelings. Life thus adds color and charm.
Guo Mingyi, an ordinary mine road manager, is almost impoverished at home, with three members of his family crowded into a single-bedroom apartment of less than 40 square meters. However, he has been supporting more than 180 extremely poor students for more than 20 years. Not only that, he donated 60,000 ml of blood in 20 years, more than 10 times his own blood. In addition, he also signed up to participate in the first batch of voluntary donations of remains and corneas in Anshan City.
This state of mind is so courageous! Every coin and drop of blood he donated was hot - it is precisely in this way that he gained the respect of the world and was known as "The Descendants of Lei Feng". His "willingness" created his brilliance.
We are not the wise and courageous people who can call the shots, and what we can do is very limited. However, as long as we remember the word "giving up", it is enough! Reputation must serve the public to be happy; actions must be dedicated to others to be meaningful; money must be given to the poor to be valuable... Only by knowing how to "give up" can life reveal its value and meaning.
Mr. Qian Weichang, a leading scientific figure, is the father of modern Chinese mechanics, a famous scientist, educator, and a star in international physics. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, faced with the temptation of the American scientific community, he flatly refused and insisted on returning to China. Although he was classified as a "rightist", he still did not give up his loyalty to scientific research and his motherland. He used his more than 60 years of service to the country to explain his persistent profession - patriotism.
He sacrificed his name and relics but could not abandon his motherland, and won the love of the people. On the day of his death, tens of thousands of people flocked to his mourning hall to pay their last respects to the old man.
Facts have proved that only by learning to "give up" can life be more meaningful. When is life contented? People are always free and idle. Therefore, don’t be stingy anymore, don’t spend every penny wisely, as long as there is “giving up”, there will be “gain”.
