Russian writer Chekhov said: "If you have a thorn in your hand, you should feel happy. Fortunately, it is not in your eyes. " I thought it was just a humorous joke, but later I found it was actually a philosophical attitude and wisdom of life, which was impressed by many smart men and women.

On one occasion, the home of franklin roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, was stolen, resulting in heavy losses. A friend wrote to comfort him, and Roosevelt wrote back and said, "Dear friend, thank you for your comfort. I am all right now, and I am still very happy. " Thank god. Because: first, the thief stole my things and didn't hurt my life; Second, the thief only stole some of my things, not all of them; Third, fortunately, the thief was him, not me. "

Writer Shi Tiesheng once wrote: "The experience of illness is to know how to satisfy step by step. Only when you have a fever do you know how cool it is to live without a fever. When you cough, you realize how peaceful your voice is when you don't cough. When I first got into the wheelchair, I kept thinking, don't you lose your human characteristics if you don't walk upright? I felt very dark, and then I got bedsores. I can only lie awkwardly for several days before I see how clear it is when I sit up. Later, I suffered from uremia, often confused and unable to think. I miss the past more and finally wake up: in fact, we are lucky at any time, and the word' more' may be added in front of any disaster. "

They are actually drawing the bottom line for happiness. Everyone's specific situation is different, and the bottom line is different.

Chekhov's bottom line is, after all, "the thorn is out of the eye"; Roosevelt's bottom line is that what is lost has not hurt people, and there is no "shame"; Shi Tiesheng, who has been suffering from illness for many years, has a lower bottom line. As long as he is alive, "we are lucky at any time."

To outsiders, they are all unfortunate, but because the bottom line for themselves is very low, they live very calmly, freely and without happiness.

Happiness is actually a feeling. A person who always feels very painful is often a person who sets the bottom line of happiness too high. His expectations are too high and his desires are too great. As a result, there is a big gap between reality and reality, so the pain comes.

For example, a writer who draws the bottom line of happiness on winning the Nobel Prize is ambitious and worthy of respect, but it is difficult for him to feel happy all his life, because this opportunity is too slim; And an amateur writer who often publishes articles on small tofu blocks often feels smug and feels good about himself, because his bottom line is that the publication of articles is happiness, regardless of length. A rich man who draws the bottom line of happiness on the enemy's wealth can hardly get what he wants, and naturally he can't be happy, even if he is already rich; On the contrary, it is not as good as those migrant workers who make great efforts to earn small money.

Therefore, rich people are not necessarily happier than well-off farmers, high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not necessarily happier than street vendors, and well-educated university professors are not necessarily happier than kindergarten aunts. In the final analysis, it is because they have different bottom lines for happiness. One picture is too high to reach, and the other is too low to reach.

In the TV series "Happy Life with a garrulous mouth", Mrs. Zhang put it well: "What is happiness? There are no patients in the hospital, no prisoners in the prison, and no debt collectors at the door. This is happiness! " To take a step back, even if we encounter disasters and misfortunes, at this time, moderately lowering the bottom line of happiness will also help us to adjust our emotions, tide over difficulties and face life calmly.

In short, if we can learn to draw the bottom line of happiness lower, be realistic and be closer to ourselves, it can be achieved with a little effort, so that you can feel happy every day and happiness is around you.

What is the bottom line of morality?

Some people say that China people feel insecure.

Next, let me talk about the three bottom lines of safety.

The first line: social morality

Social morality is the best bottom line. Everyone's trust in each other, the elegant manners of people around them, and the respect between people all make people feel warm and safe.

In such a healthy social environment, everyone can enjoy love, happiness and experience all kinds of beautiful feelings.

The beauty of human nature is brought into full play, everyone is more humble and polite, and the society is in a virtuous circle.

People trained in this social environment are naturally of high quality and healthy body.

Therefore, social morality is the first bottom line of people's sense of security and happiness.

The second way: law

Coal often says: the law is ruthless.

Laws should be fairer and reflect social values, and should not be appointed by the so-called elite.

When you are hurt unreasonably, if the moral environment doesn't work, then the law must stand up and speak, otherwise what do we rely on?

The biggest difference between people and animals is human sociality, and people will protect the weak in the group. Not the law of the jungle.

The main purpose of people paying taxes is to protect the weak, build a public environment and create a beautiful living space for everyone.

Therefore, the law should be the hardest and most rigid bottom line for a sense of security.

The third way: faith.

This is the most primitive and last line of defense for mental health.

When law, morality, public opinion and everything deviate from the track, people can only believe in faith.

Some people say that the Buddha will only be remembered when you suffer. This is a fact.

When all kinds of misfortunes in life come to a person, except praying that there is nothing we can do.

When the bad guys are not punished, what can we do except pray and believe in cause and effect?

Therefore, faith is the last bottom line in our hearts.

Therefore, the soundness of these three bottom lines is the key factor of national progress and social harmony.

● Keep the ideological bottom line.

The river is surging and rolling forward, because it is going to its own goal-the sea. However, no matter how bumpy it is, it is difficult to cross the strait. For it, the river bank is the bottom line of its flow.

Everything in nature is like this, and so is mankind. Everyone should draw a bottom line for themselves in their hearts. This bottom line will always bind us when we work towards our goals.

The bottom line for businessmen is to pay attention to honesty. As a businessman, he is always mercenary. Profit is the only goal they pursue. As a result, many businessmen believe in the wisdom of "no business is dishonest" and abandon the minimum criterion of being a man-honesty. As a result, incidents like "fake milk powder" emerged one after another, but what happened to them?

Businessmen who exceed the bottom line of honesty can only get the failure of their careers and even fall into the abyss of sin.

The bottom line of being an official is being responsible to the people. As cadres and public servants of the people, their responsibility is to seek welfare for the people. Unfortunately, it is rare to see such a good official as Mr. Cai Chaodong, who is worthy of the people ten miles away. Instead, a large group of "moths" appeared repeatedly. Perhaps, with a passion and a sincere heart, they vowed to fight for the people and the nation for life. However, in the face of "sugar-coated shells", they failed to keep the bottom line in their hearts, took their own interests as the highest goal, and extended their evil hands to the country and the people.

If officials cross the bottom line of being responsible to the people, they can only have a long history in the end.

The bottom line for ordinary people is to live up to their conscience. There is such a thing that a girl from a poor family was admitted to the top of the college entrance examination by her own efforts. When she was in urgent need of a tuition fee, a health care product factory came to her door and promised that she would get a reward as long as she claimed to insist on taking the products of the factory. And this girl refused on the spot. Perhaps without this money, it is difficult for her to achieve her goal for many years-to enter the university for further study. But she kept the bottom line in her heart, and she was worthy of her conscience.

If ordinary people go beyond this bottom line in their hearts, they may get a lifetime of guilt.

Everyone should keep the bottom line in mind, or they will be punished. It's like the Yellow River is easy to flood-even the mother river of the Chinese nation, once it crosses its own bottom line, can only bring suffering to the people and be cursed by the people. References:

1 the bottom line of life once upon a time, I hesitated in colorful opinions and couldn't find the way forward; Once upon a time, I was lost in a few words of everyone, but I lost my wings. Once upon a time, I didn't choose to be firm and didn't have the courage to listen. There is less sunshine in my heart to illuminate the road ahead. The bottom line of life extends infinitely in all directions in my uncompromising soul, endless and awe-inspiring. When all this is at a loss, can I go beyond the bottom line of life and run to the holy land in my heart? Is it a hermit who "picks chrysanthemums under the east fence and sees Nanshan leisurely"? Is it the elegant person who is "interested in the piano, why bother to play the strings"? Is it the farmer who "hoes wear Yue"? Yes, that's him, Tao Yuanming, who has been famous in the literary world for 500 years. He doesn't want to "bend over for five buckets of rice", break through the bottom line in his heart, and he doesn't want to go along with corrupt officials in officialdom. The bottom line in Tao Yuanming's heart lies in whether he is in the dark officialdom and whether he enjoys the pleasure of landscape and countryside. Hermit chose the latter. He won't go beyond the bottom line in his heart. He is free and easy, staying in the noble world within the bottom line. He refused the dark and dirty officialdom outside the bottom line and wrote down the sacred place DD Peach Blossom Garden in his heart. The bottom line of life extends infinitely, and I am at a loss, losing my sense of direction in colorful opinions. Repeated setbacks have made me black and blue, exhausted, and the last bottom line of my life is about to collapse. The fire of hope ignited after every failure is always extinguished by relentless rain. The bottom line in my heart has long been submerged and will burst at any time, but I still hold on to the last glimmer of hope. Li Bai, a romantic poet, did not break through the last bottom line in his heart on the road of official career. He is not depressed at this time. Here, I can't let the last bottom line in my heart collapse. There are always unpleasant things in life. We should stick to the bottom line of life until the last moment. Life itself is not calm, with frustrated rain, annoying wind and sad sunset. Is it noble in front of the bottom line of life, or is it like Li Bai who laughs at all kinds of setbacks in life and chooses the tenacity within the bottom line of life? In the long river of life, each of us is a shining star, and there is no reason to feel inferior. The other end of the bottom line in life is happiness, sadness, success and failure. It depends on whether you stick to your beliefs. We must never go beyond the bottom line. Let's write a glorious chapter of life within the bottom line of our hearts.

There is a smuggler who keeps the bottom line. Because the police chased him too hard, he had a brainwave and hid in a shabby church, which was full of smuggled goods. He asked the priest to allow him to hide the smuggled goods in the attic of the church. Of course, the pious priest immediately refused the smuggler's request and told him to leave at once, otherwise he would call the police. "I will give you a sum of money to repay your kindness. What do you think of 200,000? " The smuggler asked for help. The priest said firmly, "No!" "what about 500 thousand?" Smugglers reluctantly raised the price. The priest still refused. "How about 1 10,000?" The smuggler still asked. The priest suddenly flew into a rage and pushed the man out of the door: "Get out, your price is close to my heart." The story of the priest's refusal to take bribes gave us profound enlightenment. Although the priest is closest to God, he is not a saint after all. In his heart, there is also the idea of "greed", but he has set a higher price for his morality than ordinary people! The priest is respected again. When he saw the smuggler's price approaching his moral price, he resolutely put out his greed and said "no" in the face of great temptation. He finally kept his bottom line. People are not saints, and it is very sad to live a clean life without a trace of evil thoughts. However, the nobleness and preciousness of man lies in his adherence to the bottom line of being a man. Without a trace of evil thoughts, it may be god, not man; If you can't keep the bottom line, you are not a person, but an animal or a devil. People really have to face all kinds of temptations in their lives. Morality is priceless. In the face of temptation, the bottom line of being a man should be an iron wall that will never collapse. Keeping the bottom line, in the final analysis, is to control yourself, which is the minimum requirement for dealing with people. Life tells us that only those who constantly pursue goals can keep the bottom line, but people will have many specific goals to pursue. Not every specific goal can be achieved, but it is possible for everyone to keep the bottom line. Keep the ideological bottom line. The river is surging and rolling forward, because it is heading for the target in its heart-the sea. However, no matter how bumpy it is, it is difficult to cross the strait. For it, the river bank is the bottom line of its flow. Everything in nature is like this, and so is mankind. Everyone should draw a bottom line for themselves in their hearts.
