Classic material: Seizing the present means playing the cards in your hand (Eisenhower from civilian to president)

When Eisenhower was young , I was playing card games with my family after dinner, and after getting bad cards several times in a row, he began to complain unhappily. His mother stopped and said to him sternly: "If you want to play, you have to use your Keep playing with the cards in your hand, no matter what the cards are like! "Happiness has no tomorrow or yesterday. It does not miss the past or yearn for the future; it only has the present." He was stunned and heard his mother say again: "The same is true in life. It is God who deals the cards, and you must hold them no matter what the cards are. All you can do is try your best to get the best results." Many years have passed, and Eisenhower has always kept his mother's words in mind, He has never complained about life. On the contrary, he has always faced every challenge of fate with a positive and optimistic attitude, doing everything he can to do everything well. He has walked out of an unknown civilian family and grown up step by step. He became a lieutenant colonel, commander of the Allied Forces, and eventually the 34th president in American history. After Eisenhower passed away, Johnson praised him for his "bravery and integrity" in his eulogy. His bravery and fearless temperament were precisely I inherited my mother’s teachings: Life is like playing cards. Since the right to deal the cards is not in your hands, all you can do is play with the cards in your hand and work hard to play well. Other than that, you have no choice!

Don’t lose the present in sentimentality and fantasy (the story of "The Two-Faced God")

A philosopher was passing through the desert and saw in the ruins of a long-ago city. A stone sculpture of a "Double-Faced God". He had never seen a "Double-Faced God", so he asked strangely: "Why do you have two faces?" The Double-Faced God replied: "With two faces, I can On the one hand, we can look at the past and firmly remember the lessons of the past; on the other hand, we can look to the future and envision an infinitely beautiful blueprint." The philosopher said: "The past can only be the passing of the present and can no longer be retained, and the future It is the continuation of the present, which you cannot get now. But you don’t take the present seriously. Even if you can know the past well and have prophetic insights into the future, what is the specific and practical significance of it? "The double-faced god listens. After listening to the philosopher's words, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He said: "Sir, after listening to your words, I only now understand the root cause of why I ended up like this today." The philosopher asked: "Why?" The double-faced god said: "A long time ago. , when I was stationed in this city, I boasted that I could look into the past and the future at the same time, but I failed to grasp the present well. As a result, the city was captured by the enemy, and the beautiful glory became a passing cloud. It was also cast aside by people and abandoned in the ruins."
