There is such an interesting and thought-provoking experiment. When a frog is suddenly thrown into the boiling oil pan, the frog can unexpectedly jump out and escape from the trap. Then, he put the same frog into a gradually heated pitcher. This time, he felt too comfortable and realized that danger was coming, but he was very weak and finally died at the bottom of the pot. It can be seen from this experiment that frogs are very sensitive to the immediate danger and slow to respond to the danger that has not yet arrived. From this, I thought of people. In fact, people are also like this in this respect. As Mencius said, "Born in sorrow, died in happiness."

In the journey of life, adversity reminds people and inspires them to forge ahead, while comfortable and superior environment kills people's will, makes people indulge in happiness and enjoy ease, and often achieves nothing. Some people even indulge in debauchery and self-destruction when they are at ease. This is similar to the frog jumping up in the face of disaster and lying in warm water waiting for death.

"Born in sorrow" is an eternal famous saying, and the story of Gou Jian, the king of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, is its best registration. At that time, Gou Jian succumbed to peace, served Wu humbly and tasted courage. After "ten years of where will you go and ten years of tempering", he finally turned from weak to strong, rose up and went to extinction.

How can Gou Jian restore the country when the State of Wu becomes the overlord of a generation? This is the result of the humiliation of national subjugation, which makes him angry and urges him to rise. This shows that people often show extraordinary perseverance, exert their unexpected potential, fight to the death and open up a chance to live in no way back.

However, people often don't grasp it well and "die comfortably" by letting go of an open hand and being comfortable. An example of this is the broken king. /kloc-in the spring of 0/644, King Chuang broke into Beijing, thinking that the world was settled and you were finished. The peasant-born new bureaucrat lost all-powerful spirit in the uprising, and just wanted to enjoy the Chinese New Year every day in Beijing. Li Zicheng wanted to be the emperor as soon as possible, Niu Jinxing wanted to be the Taiping Prime Minister, and the generals wanted to build a government. When the Qing soldiers entered the pass, the Ming army made a comeback and the rebels were defeated. This reminds me of an old saying of Ouyang Xiu, "Worry and fatigue can rejuvenate the country, and leisure can die". People can keep their eyes open when they are in danger, so they can save the day; However, in the enjoyment of ease, the will fades and the spirit disappears, resulting in complete failure.

Be born at hardship, die at peace and happiness

Two seeds are lying in the soil. Spring has come and a seed has sprouted. Another seed said, "I'm not that brave." If I take root down, I may run into rocks; If I grow up, I may hurt my stem. " So it is willing to stay in the soil. A few days later, it was eaten by a hen. The same seeds, the same fertile soil and different experiences, what enlightenment can we get from them? It is often said: born in sorrow, died in happiness.

Growing up on the same land, a seed dares to face challenges and difficulties, break through the ground and create a better future for itself. The other seed, however, was afraid of setbacks and hardships, and was willing to stay in his "comfort zone" and finally buried himself. From the viewpoint of dialectical materialism, although difficulties and challenges often give people setbacks, they can also inspire people to forge ahead and give them strength; Although comfort and conservatism can temporarily preserve our health, they will eventually make people degenerate and be eliminated.

There is a good saying: suffering can torture and exercise people; Honey can nourish and hurt people. It can be seen that people are born in sorrow and die in happiness.

As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Mencius wrote: "Heaven will be powerful, so we must first suffer from its mind, strain its bones and muscles, starve its body and skin, empty its body and mess with its actions. Therefore, it benefits from its patience. " The ancients even put forward the saying that "worry and fatigue can rejuvenate the country, and leisure can forget the body." Li Zicheng's process from winning the world to losing it provides strong evidence for the above statement. Almost everyone in China is well aware of this history, and knows the truth that one was born with worry and died with happiness.

Can China people who live in the increasingly fierce competition really realize the crisis and challenge of survival? Look around at some "little emperors" with lollipops. How can they build the future of the motherland and make China invincible in international competition? However, many contemporary parents keep saying that "no matter how hard you suffer, you can't suffer your children." Do they really protect them by creating a greenhouse that is not used in the wind and rain?

Should our generation of young people also consider how we should treat our lives? Some people say: pain is a strict teacher, leaving us so much thinking; Frustration is a great whetstone to sharpen our youth. It is not terrible for people to live in adversity. What is terrible is their cowardice.
