People who live a fine life often know a truth, that is, they know how to choose and know how to advance and retreat.

"Those who know how to choose will not be too bad luck."

Yuan Longping, born in 1930, is known as the "father of hybrid rice". He spent most of his life studying rice and devoted himself to solving the hunger problem caused by rice yield.

However, he didn't choose to be a partner with agriculture from the beginning. In high school, Yuan Longping made excellent achievements in swimming competitions.

Hubei men's 100 meter freestyle came second, which was enough for him to choose to insist, but he didn't.

He gave up his dream of swimming, chose to be a student in an agricultural college, and started his own journey of studying rice.

Perhaps swimming can also make his future life brilliant, but he chose to continue to deal with water in another way.

This way not only enlarges one's life, but also benefits countless people in China and even the world.

Like Yuan Longping, everyone will face various choices in life.

Since it is a choice, it is impossible to have its opposite at the same time. At this time, it is very important to know the trade-offs.

Zhong was only thirty years old, and faced with the choice of having children and promotion, he did not hesitate to save his children.

Although promotion is something that everyone is striving for in first-tier cities, life will never allow you to make greedy choices. Zhong is not greedy. Even if the child did not stay later, at least she made a choice at that moment.

Those who know how to choose will be blessed by God. Because I lost something, I will cherish what I left behind more.

"People who know how to advance and retreat will never have a rough life."

They all say, "endure calm for a while and take a step back to broaden the horizon", but sometimes taking a step back to broaden the horizon is really not for the sake of broadening the horizon, but because I really don't care after a long time.

Can you recall yourself when you were young? Do you just know to move forward and never look back?

Is it reckless, reckless? Are you young and frivolous, but you have accomplished nothing?

As time goes on, you should learn to be a mature and steady person who knows how to advance and retreat.

Han Xin's "Disgrace of Hips" is such an example of knowing how to advance and retreat.

One day, when Han Xin was away from home, he met a group of hooligans bullying himself. One of the butchers said to Han Xin in public, "You are very tall and often carry a sword, but in fact you are timid.

Now I give you a choice, if you have the ability, use your sword to assassinate me in public; If you don't dare, get under my legs in public. "

Han Xin after thinking, in front of everyone, from the butcher's crotch.

In his opinion, at that time, he could have chosen to assassinate that person and fight with him, but considering that he was alone, he had little chance of winning.

After considering the gains and losses, he felt that it was not worthwhile to give up his meritorious service for a moment of courage.

This shows that a man can't be too eager for quick success and instant benefit. Han Xin may face ridicule and ridicule from everyone, but at the moment he still chooses the option that is beneficial to him.

If he had chosen to fight with the butcher, there might have been no Han Xin as we all know later.

Knowing how to advance and retreat makes Han Xin stand out in history and become rich and expensive.

Knowing the advance and retreat, knowing the gains and losses, maybe this will be your booster to success.

Why know how to lose, know how to advance and retreat, and become a truth known to people with exquisite lives?

Because people with exquisite life know the true meaning of life, they are willing to spend time enjoying this beautiful life.

I think that the beauty of life should not be broken by our own greed, recklessness and ignorance of making choices.

Ban Jieyu, a famous female writer in the Western Han Dynasty and the daughter of a great general, has read a lot of poems and books since childhood and has both ability and political integrity.

In the early years of becoming emperor, he was elected to the palace and was appointed as a junior envoy.

Soon after, because of its outstanding beauty, it was named "Jieyu".

Although she is a woman in the palace, she doesn't like to compete for favor, and she helps her become an emperor with kindness.

She won't be lost because of love, and she doesn't want to be intrigued. She just chooses to find a better self in her sobriety.

Between splendor and dutifulness, she chose the latter, but it was her choice that won more gifts, the favor of the emperor and the respect of the world.

She has never suffered from the emperor's love, because she knows that love never belongs to her alone.

Plato once famously said, "The most regrettable thing in life is to stubbornly persist in what should not be adhered to."

On the relationship with Zhao, Ban Jieyu chose to back down. As a woman in the palace, there is no need to be so formal. Repeated framing failed to arouse Ban Jieyu's indignation.

Losing the love of the emperor, she had no choice but to make trouble without reason. She never expects anything that doesn't belong to her.

Smart people always know what they want, and those who want it don't have to fight for it, because they can get it between choices.

Sometimes it is better to make a smart decision than to be red-faced.

Learn how to choose, know how to advance and retreat, and I believe you can also become a refined person.
