I don't know how others feel when they see this sentence. Let's talk about my personal opinion.
a word, but whatever a celebrity says, it has a celebrity effect invisibly. As for whether it is right or not, no one will care, because their own success speaks for itself. Therefore, people standing under the stage have a kind of idolatry, and they will believe whatever that person says as truth.
If you want to evaluate a person or a thing as fairly as possible, the first thing to do is to examine your own perceptual thinking. In fact, many of our choices are not decided by reason, but because we listen to some advertisements or friends' propaganda intentionally or unintentionally. Because it is mixed with certain feelings, it is easy to cause bias.
What is certain about Su Shimin's remark is that there is nothing wrong with his values. The pursuit of something valuable, the pursuit of final success, and the pursuit of beauty are also in line with people's criteria for making choices.
but many truths are not universally applicable. What is true in his place may not be true in yours.
There is a story that for a chicken, a diamond and rice are more valuable to it. But from a human point of view, the answer is self-evident.
I just made some preparations. Now let's analyze that sentence. Is it really the same degree of difficulty to do a small thing as to do a big thing? One more question: how are big things and small things divided?
if it is taken for granted that the more people can be involved, it is called a big deal. or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium
well, I might as well be more real here. If all the above assumptions are true, just focus on things with a large number of people at any time. If we take this problem a little more extreme, it will become the tram problem about thought experiment. From this, it can be concluded that it is worthwhile to save five people at the expense of one person.
well, that's enough for the topic, and this issue is a bit big. In a word, this conclusion is contrary to social ethics.
so what is a big deal? What is a trivial matter? For a country's leader, everything he does is a big deal, but for a common people, whatever he does is a small matter. Can it be concluded that an ordinary person's life is worthless? Is it definitely not worth living?
at this point, it seems that there are some nitpicking and some are too serious. However, I just want to say here that there is no absolute truth in this world. If a person who has been hungry for a long time is about to starve to death. At this time, if you still tell him-you should have a grand goal and dream big-it is tantamount to saying "why not eat minced meat".
Finally, let's go back here and try to understand what Su Shimin said. If faced with two things that can be chosen at the same time, we should choose the relatively difficult thing to do. First of all, because doing so can hone a person's will, difficulty means that you can exercise yourself. Secondly, in a secular sense, it is also a more valuable thing.
This is another opposite point of view. If you have no more choices, don't listen to the famous sayings of some successful people without thinking.
In many cases, obedience depends on whether it suits you. Don't take all the famous sayings as your life motto. Yes, success is certainly gratifying. However, if you don't succeed, you should live well.
