Hiding requires wisdom; revealing requires courage. What is hidden is revealed, which shows greater wisdom.
Hiding is for better "revelation" in the future. Xu Xiake, you have the ambition of "a man who looks up to the blue sea and becomes enlightened at dusk". In order to realize your ideal, you gave up your official career, chose to travel, and began the arduous journey of reading the earth and describing nature. On the long road, you did not take shelter from wind and rain, were not afraid of tigers and wolves, ate wild fruits to satisfy your hunger, quenched your thirst with clear springs, slept in ruins, lived in the wilderness, and took notes as notes. After traveling and observing, he finally wrote "Xu Xiake's Travels". It is precisely because of what you hid before that it was revealed later, revealing this masterpiece that is praised by later generations as "the true text, the great text, and the strange text in the world". At the same time, it also made his life shine. In life, it should be like this, what is hidden is revealed, and life will be better.
Noble qualities are often hidden in ordinary life. When Yang Liping attended an event, she wore a long ethnic-style blue cloth dress that stunned the audience. The vegetable basket in her hand became the focus of the audience. The way you dress makes the world marvel at your true nature. Similar to her is you, Tang Wei. In an interview, your classic trench coat was aura-y but not oppressive. You made a deep impression on reporters. You have said that your calm temperament comes from thoroughly enjoying life. Yang Liping and Tang Wei, the reason why you are deeply admired by people is because of your hidden qualities and your calm and elegant image that people cannot help but admire. Compared with those female stars who are eager to make people "stunning" and work hard on their appearance, you are the real beauty.
Only by being exposed can you seize opportunities and achieve success. Hua Luogeng, when you were in the United States, seven universities invited you to give lectures. Someone asked you how you felt. You said that you don’t need to show off in front of laypeople, only in front of your peers can you be aware of your shortcomings. This speech achieved unprecedented success in the United States. Like a bright star shining brightly in the sky above the mathematical world. Your success lies in your courage to show off and dare to challenge. If you always feel that you are not good enough, you will not succeed.
You have the strength but are you afraid of not succeeding? However, Chinese people follow the ancient saying that "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys" and lack the courage to show off. Some people are even more worried that "if a tree is beautiful, the wind will destroy it; if you act out of others, everyone will slander it." Talented people are also restrained. , it is a pity that the chance of success will eventually be lost.
So, in life, we should: hide everything and reveal it, and life will be better.
