As the saying goes: "If the sky is crazy, there will be rain; if people are crazy, there will be disaster." In life, you must know how to be a low-key person. People who are arrogant always show their sharpness, which is in line with the ancient saying of "shooting the first bird".
When a person is successful, don’t be complacent; when he is frustrated, don’t be pessimistic and world-weary. Flowers never bloom for a hundred days, feng shui takes turns, and life is about ups and downs. When a person is at a high place, he should be on an equal footing with others and help others; when a person is at a low place, he will accumulate more and more blessings and slowly gather blessings for himself, and his blessings will slowly increase. Coming up, people will return to the heights again.
A blessed person has three signs that are "different" from ordinary people.
1. Humility.
The low water is the sea, the low man is the king. The humbler the person, the nobler he is. A person who knows how to be humble is "the sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great."
There is a story about a businessman who made a lot of money, but gradually found that his wealth was no longer increasing, and he was very anxious. So he went to the temple to burn incense, kowtow, and ask the mage in the temple to tell his fortune. The mage poured water for the rich businessman to drink. As a result, he poured water while talking. The water in the cup was full and he was still pouring. The rich businessman was anxious: "Master, it's full, it's full." The master smiled without saying a word, took out another cup, lowered it, and caught the overflowing water. The Master said, "Isn't this not enough?" The wealthy businessman received enlightenment and from then on lowered his profile, made friends, and was willing to do good deeds. Years later, the wealthy businessman became even richer.
This story tells us that if a person lowers his status, he can absorb the strengths of others and accumulate more wealth. Like the sea, it lies low but is filled with water from all directions.
The reason why a blessed person is humble is to put himself in a low place and put others in a high place. Let other people's wisdom and wealth continue to "flow" to yourself.
Of course, a humble person does not accept the situation, but is neither humble nor arrogant, and remains unchanged in the face of all changes. Low-key, but not as humble as a grasshopper.
2. Self-discipline.
A self-disciplined person knows what he should do and what he should not do. Self-discipline is a person's principle of dealing with others and a reflection of noble character.
Self-discipline means doing one thing "every day for ten years" and using the resilience of life to show one's own value. The more persistent a person is, the more successful he is; the harder he works, the luckier he is. People who give up halfway, no matter how smart you are, will accomplish nothing.
A self-disciplined person achieves a little success but does not show off. Even if you are very successful, you will not feel superior. It restrains one's own "arrogance", not only restraining oneself from living habits, but also restraining oneself from spiritual and moral sentiments.
The reason why a blessed person is self-disciplined is that he knows how to control his temper and wealth, knows how to give up, does not take ill-gotten gains, and does not get "inexplicable anger". Whatever you do, you can advance and retreat freely, and you can accept it with a good attitude.
3. Respect.
Respecting others means respecting yourself. Leaving a way for others to escape is the highest wisdom in life. If you have to be merciful, please be merciful, give up three points if you are justified, and take three steps back if you are unreasonable.
The Buddha said: All living beings are equal. A person who does not know how to respect others will isolate himself and will not get help from noble people. You must know that "when everyone adds firewood, a flame rises", no matter how powerful you are alone, it cannot compare with the power of the masses.
The reason why a blessed person respects others is that he knows how to "leverage his own strength" to establish his own prestige and let more noble people help him.
In fact, those who are blessed firstly know how to collect blessings; secondly, they insist on keeping blessings; and thirdly, they share blessings with others.
The world is like a new chess game. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. If you fail, don’t be discouraged. If you succeed, don’t be proud. Stick to your own direction, share your happiness, be kind to everything, and give up some blessings. It’s about gathering more blessings.
