"endure calm for a while and take a step back." Only by forbearing can we achieve something, by not doing something can we achieve something, by being sage inside can we be king outside, by being soft can we be strong, and by being compassionate can we turn over. Forbearance and humility have been a great virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times, and the word "forbearance" is embodied in the inner sage of Confucianism, the softness of Taoism and the compassion of Buddhism.

Zhou Chengwang warned Jun Chen: "There must be forbearance, which is beneficial; With tolerance, virtue is great. " Confucius has the warning that "a little tolerance leads to great mischief" and "a gentleman has nothing to fight for" spread all over the world; Mencius' remarks of "nurturing my noble spirit" warned future generations; Laozi left us famous aphorisms, such as "water is good for everything, and water is good for everything without dispute", "Heaven is good for victory without dispute, and good for response without words", "If you are straightforward, if you are clumsy, if you argue, if you are stupid"; Buddhism has the creed of "six degrees and ten thousand actions, forbearance is the first"; The proverb also says, "You have to endure everything, forgiving others is not an idiot, and an idiot will not forgive others.". These are all manifestations of China's forbearance culture.

However, "forbearance" mentioned here does not mean unprincipled retreat, concession and abandonment, but an action strategy for dealing with people. In Shuo Wen Jie Zi, "forbearance" is interpreted as "ability". Yes, it is a deer-like beast belonging to bears. It has strong and hard bones and muscles under its fur. The structure of the word "forbearance" is from the heart, and the heart has a blade, which means that the heart is determined and determined, and can endure what others can't. The "forbearance" here is a kind of ability, a kind of accomplishment, and a kind of strategy. It is an ambitious person who knows the big picture, takes care of the overall situation, bears the burden of humiliation, hides its light and bides its time; It is the wisdom of intelligent and wise people, and it is the arrogance and detachment of talented people. It is also an essential quality for successful people at all times and in all countries.

Throughout history, all the people who have achieved great success and remained immortal value and practice forbearance. Zhong Er went into exile, endured numerous humiliations and sufferings, and finally became a generation overlord; Gou Jian endured the humiliation that ordinary people could not bear under Fu Cha, and finally defeated Fu Cha and achieved hegemony. Yuan Xian lives in poverty, the shed leaks rain and the doors and windows are incomplete, but he can still sit on the drum piano; Hu Su's "I can't bear to cheat the monarch on the slightest thing, so as not to defile my integrity" has become a proverb that has been passed down through the ages; Tao Yuanming, a Jin native, did not want to bow and scrape to the ignorant for the salary of five buckets of rice, showing noble integrity; When the people in the Western Han Dynasty became successful, they resolutely submitted their resignation to the emperor and asked to go back to their hometown to spend their old age. Their behavior became a beautiful talk. Sun Bin pretended to be crazy and blinded Pang Juan, Han Xin endured the humiliation of his legs, Jing Ke gave up his life for justice, and Zhang Liangbi picked up his shoes ... These examples all well explained that "a gentleman who takes a long distance will have something to hold. The essence and theme of the old saying "If you are great, you must be patient" is precisely the word "patience" that has made these heroes' brilliant lives.

Today, "forbearance" still exists around us all the time. In life, we often see that the parties can't restrain themselves, which leads to quarrels, fights and even bloody conflicts. Sometimes just because you stepped on my foot, a word is not appropriate, which will cause conflict. Fighting for seats on the subway and getting squeezed on the bus may all be the fuse to set off a verbal war or a fist drill. If you can endure it and learn to control your emotions, you will naturally endure it even if you encounter big problems in the future, and you will naturally endure it until the best time to solve the problems.

Of course, we should distinguish people who can tolerate from what people usually call "losers" and never do the latter. People should also have a healthy atmosphere. When you encounter something just and reasonable, you should first argue according to reason, and use positive pressure to overcome evil, not to lose a person's personality and national dignity. In other words, forbearance also depends on the object, scope and degree of forbearance. Endure big things, small things, unreasonable times and reasonable times. This is really a "useless goods".

forbearance is a kind of mental method, a kind of self-cultivation, a kind of virtue, great wisdom, great courage and great happiness, and a bridge for self-cultivation, success and wealth. It is the mind of the strong and the demeanor of the wise. Only patience can accumulate strength and turn defeat into victory; Only forbearance can cultivate self-cultivation and improve self; Only forbearance can take care of the overall situation and promote development; Only forbearance can be kind to others and resolve contradictions. Therefore, if you want to do something, you must be able to "endure". "Great ninja, great wisdom", patience is a sign of wisdom and ability. Learning and mastering the true meaning of patience is a realistic need for us to improve ourselves and achieve great things.

A philosopher once said, "Accept the shadow, and there will be sunshine and brilliance; Rejecting shadows will only be cloudy and there will be no sunshine. " My friend, the beauty of things is not easy to come by, not overnight, not smooth sailing. It must be nurtured in the tears of pain, take root in the soil of patience, sprout in the years of waiting, and blossom in the season of persistence. It must endure the pain of countless quantitative changes in order to sublimate to the beauty of qualitative changes.
