Only long-term vision can win long-term benefits. Meng Mu's Three Movements is a well-known story. In order to give Mencius a really good educational environment, Meng Mu took great pains to move to three places twice and finally moved to the vicinity of the school. What Mencius learned was courtesy, which was reassuring. This is a prescient name as a mother. She knows that a good humanistic environment is very important for children's growth and character cultivation. Mencius later became one of the representatives of Confucianism, which I think is inseparable from his long-term mother. Looking long-term will bring long-term benefits, on the contrary, it will make short-term benefits disappear faster. When Fang Zhongyong was a child, he was gifted and could be called a child prodigy, but he had a short-sighted father. "Sun Ban Zhong Yong paid tribute to the people in the city and stopped learning." Because of this, Zhong Yong, who has extraordinary talent, "disappeared from everyone". This is the tragedy of this child. If Fang Zhongyong can get a good education, I think, with his talent, his poems will be passed down to this day.
Different families, different eyes and different education lead to different results. Meng Mu has a long-term vision. She hopes that her children can grow up in a good environment, while Fang Zhongyong's father only thinks that he can exchange Zhong Yong's talents for property at that time, without considering his children's future. All parents, long-term vision has made a child, short-term vision has ruined a child prodigy. Therefore, it is essential to have a long-term vision.
The architect's long-term vision makes the auditorium of Oxford University look brand-new, eliminating the energy and financial resources of looking for oak. For the problem that the beams will be air-dried and decayed in 35 years, the architect has already made preparations to ensure the safety of the school auditorium, which is the foresight of the architect. So I think we should look at things from a long-term perspective.
where is our long-term vision? Nowadays, the problem of environmental damage is becoming more and more serious. Global warming, greenhouse effect and biological extinction are all severe tests faced by mankind. While we are living comfortably, are we aware of what kind of environment our descendants will live in? Development is important, but if it leads to the impossibility of survival, what is the significance of development? So, take a long-term look at tomorrow, and the benefits will be longer.
Only with a long-term vision will you get long-term benefits. Don't blindly covet the short-term temptation in front of you. Maybe mantis catches cicada and yellowbird. If you look farther, you will see more and get better.
