We must go all out without any hope. No matter what you do, treat it as the most important thing in the world, but at the same time know that it doesn't matter at all.

- Excerpted from "Luo Ji's Thinking"

I opened "Luo Ji's Thinking" and saw this passage. I believe many people have heard or read this passage. The point to be expressed is that we should try our best in everything we do, and at the same time not have any hope for the results. It can be simply summarized by an old Chinese saying: do your best and obey fate. But I don't agree with this view.

1. Do you really have to go all out to do anything? Should we treat it as the most important thing in the world?

First of all, what does it mean to go all out? I checked Baidu Chinese, which means to put all your strength into it. As we all know, no matter what age we are in, what environment we are in, or what industry we are in, each of us has limited energy and time. It is impossible for us to devote all our efforts to everything, otherwise the result will only be I caught the sesame seeds but lost the watermelon. Life is limited and time is so precious. We must give up something in order to achieve what you want most.

Secondly, there is no unified conclusion on what is the most important thing. When you are a child, you need to go all out to study, and playing cannot be regarded as the most important thing; when you grow up, work is more important, and leisure and entertainment are more important. It cannot be regarded as the most important thing. Even how to allocate your life 24 hours a day must have priorities, and you need to distinguish the primary and secondary relationships. Therefore, we have to choose the most important or worthwhile things to do at the moment, and it is impossible to go all out for everything.

2. Why do you give up hope after trying your best?

When I saw this sentence, my first thought was that if you don’t raise your hopes, you will not be disappointed. This sentence appears in various copywriting like a wise saying. Everyone subconsciously thinks that it is inspirational and a way to see through life. Transparency afterward. I looked up the source of this sentence, and the more relevant one is from "Disqualification in the World": If you can avoid violent ecstasy, grief will naturally not come. Readers who have read "Disqualification in the World" know that the author continued to sink in order to escape reality. Under constant self-denial, he finally chose to commit suicide. I think the meaning expressed by the protagonist has nothing to do with inspiration and positivity.

So why do we admire this sentence so much? Most of us have had this experience. We have worked very hard, but we just don’t dare to think better. I think the reasons are as follows: first, if we have hope and things don’t go as expected, we will end up disappointed and sad, and we are naturally resistant to negative emotions; second, we habitually think about things in the worst possible way, as if they were born out of low self-esteem. I feel so confident, as if we have given up hope. Even if things don't work out, it's not my problem, it's my bad luck.

I think if you hold on to this idea for a long time, you will miss out on a lot of things you deserve in life. Because in the process of hard work, if a person does not give hope and has no eager hope for tomorrow, he will not be able to create something more valuable.

The value I hold should be to always give back hope after trying your best. It will bring you positive vitality. Only those who sum up experience after failure and continue to stand up are the ones. A true warrior. Instead of adopting a Buddhist mentality and not seeking results, using false psychological hints to deceive yourself that everything does not matter.
