Yang Jiang: Life is really hard, and we can only overcome it by ourselves
Yang Jiang, the wife of Qian Zhongshu, was known as "the most virtuous wife and the most talented woman" in the Republic of China She is one of my favorite writers.
I remember the first text I came across from her was a passage she said in her 100th anniversary speech: We were so eager for the waves of destiny, but in the end we discovered that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually within our hearts. Calm and calm.
We once looked forward to the recognition of the outside world so much, but in the end we discovered that the world belongs to us and has nothing to do with others.
When I saw this passage, I liked it from the bottom of my heart. It's not so much that I like it, it's better to say that I feel the same way.
So I read many of her articles and was warmed by her warm words, impressed by her indifferent attitude towards life, and attracted by her pure attitude towards life.
Yes, the world belongs to you and has nothing to do with others. It sounds simple, but how much can it really be done?
In this fast-paced era, as Yang Jiang said: "In this materialistic world, being a human being is really hard enough." There is no such thing as easy in the adult world.
It really echoes the saying: Life is not a pure land, everyone has his own suffering.
Yang Jiang: Life is really hard, and you can only overcome it by yourself
Every day, daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, all kinds of trivial matters, pressure at work, and troubles in life can all happen if you are not careful. I just lived my life like a piece of cake. So all kinds of anxiety, all kinds of uneasiness, all kinds of impetuosity came one after another.
In this era when everyone is suffering enough, how easy is it to achieve inner calmness and calmness?
But what’s the use of being impetuous, anxious, and restless? Not only will it not solve the problem, it will also cause more and more problems and troubles.
So even if life is like a pile of chicken feathers, we must tie it into a feather duster and use it to brush off the dust on our bodies so as to travel lightly.
Then how can we be calm and calm in our hearts and maintain a sense of calmness that "the world belongs to us and has nothing to do with others"?
Mr. Yang Jiang’s three sentences point out the way for us.
Yang Jiang: Life is really hard, and you can only overcome it by yourself
1. Your problem is that you read too few books and think too much. ”
Most of the time, we are impetuous, not calm, and feel confused. It is undeniable that more often than not, it is because we think too much, do too little, have rich imagination, and poor execution.< /p>
It is understandable that thinking too much and doing too little is really a very consuming thing. If it is consumed for a long time, our entire spiritual world will be empty, and it is easy to lose our fighting spirit without realizing it. and survivability.
So, a person’s spiritual world is very important. If we want our spiritual world not to be empty, we must calm down and read.
Reading. It is the world's lowest investment cost and the fastest way to improve yourself. Swimming in the ocean of books will make you feel more relaxed and comfortable.
Yang Jiang once said: "Books can't help. You solve all the problems, but it gives you a better and more comprehensive perspective on the problem. ”
Indeed, if we read more books, our perspective will naturally change. I am convinced of this.
I, who did not read before this year, often In the dead of night, I have so many thoughts, I feel confused in life, and I don’t know where I am going. I am often troubled by small things, and even go into dead ends, making myself unable to get out.
In contrast, I have become a completely different person this year. Now I am not confused, complaining, or entangled. I can change my mind, weigh things, and reflect on things.
And this. Everything is brought to me by reading. It can be said that reading has completely changed me, changed my values, and changed my perspective.
Teacher Bai Yansong once said, "You will encounter a lot of troubles. , Suffering will torture people, but if you read more books and gain wisdom, you can always face all kinds of sudden sufferings well and correctly. ”
Think less and read more. Reading will give you a new perspective.

2 , Take the path of your choice, don't choose the easy path, so that you can have your true self.
A popular saying on the Internet in recent years: "If you go in the wrong direction, your efforts will be in vain." This makes many people be cautious in their choices, for fear of making the wrong choice, wasting years and wasting youth.
I also remember a famous saying: In life, what matters is not the position you stand on, but the direction you are facing.
It can be seen how important direction is to a person.
In this world, everyone is unique, and what suits you is the best. Don’t follow blindly, because you may not be able to do what others can do; you can do it What you get, others may not be able to do.
Take the path of your choice, don’t choose the easy path, and don’t choose comfort when it’s time to struggle. Don't choose easily, but once you choose, you must go on firmly. No matter there are strong winds or heavy rain on the road, we must fight for our brave choice.
We often see others standing at the top of life and are very envious. As everyone knows, the reason why they can stand at a high place safely is because they have chosen a difficult but promising road, working silently, enduring silently, and challenging silently in places we cannot see.
It is said that only by how much hardship can a person endure can he enjoy how much blessing he has. If you want to truly have the life you want and live your true self, you have to endure hardships that ordinary people cannot endure and work as hard as anyone else.
No matter what, only by working hard can you meet a better, true self.

3. A person will gain different levels of cultivation and benefits with different levels of exercise. Just like spices, the more they are pounded and finely ground, the stronger the fragrance becomes.
Only through tempering can life be sublimated. No one's life is smooth sailing, and a smooth life also has shortcomings, because a life that has not experienced tempering always lacks something.
A life of constantly fighting monsters and upgrading will make us understand how important tempering is for a person. It is an iterative upgrade for the mind and mentality.
Chu Shijian, the "Chinese Orange King" is a legend polished by life.
Chu Shijian had ups and downs and stumbles along the way. It was the road he had eaten and the road he walked that created his legendary life.
When he was released from prison at the age of 74, he resolutely decided to grow oranges in Huangshan Mountain and use his hard work to water the unique "Chu Oranges".
Growing oranges is a time-consuming thing. If you don’t have a unique vision, rich experience, and strong courage, how can you dare to start this business? What's more, it's an old man in his seventies.
It is said that difficulties are like springs. If you are weak, it will be strong. If you are strong, it will be weak. Therefore, difficulties and tribulations are not terrible. What is terrible is that we cannot withstand the temper of life and the beating of reality. If you want to make yourself stronger, you must overcome obstacles and move forward courageously.
While you are young, accept more challenges from reality, try more, and challenge more, because life is not a road in vain, and every step counts.
Yang Jiang: Life is really hard, and we can only overcome it by ourselves
Conclusion:
Life is really hard, and we can only overcome it by ourselves. I hope we will not be affected by external things. , be influenced by desire, but have a strong heart, follow your own heart, be your own ferryman, and steer the sail of your own life.
