1. There is such an interesting and thought-provoking experiment. If a frog is accidentally thrown into a hot oil pan, the frog can unexpectedly jump out and escape the trap. Then the same frog was placed in a pot of gradually heated water. This time it felt so comfortable that when it realized the danger was coming, it was too eager to jump and finally died at the bottom of the pot. From this experiment, we can see that frogs are sensitive to immediate dangers and slow to respond to dangers that have not yet arrived. From this, I thought of people. In fact, people are also like this in this regard. As Mencius said: "Born in sorrow, die in happiness." 2. "Born in sorrow" is an eternal saying. The story is its best registration. At that time, Gou Jian surrendered and sued for peace. He humbled himself to serve Wu and endured hardships. After "ten years of gathering together and ten years of training", he finally turned from weak to strong, raised an army to destroy the state of Wu, and became the overlord of his generation. How could Gou Jian recover? This was the result of the worry and humiliation of national subjugation that made him angry and urged him to rise up. This shows that when there are many difficulties and there is no way out, people can often show extraordinary perseverance, unleash their unexpected potential, fight their way out of the siege, and carve out a way out. 3. When there is a way of life and comfort, people often fail to grasp it well and "die of comfort". The best example of this is Chuang Wang. In the spring of 1644, King Chuang invaded Beijing, thinking that the world was settled and he was done. The new bureaucrats who were born from peasants have lost all their all-powerful spirit in conquering the world during the uprising. They only want to enjoy peace and happiness in Beijing and "celebrate the New Year every day." Li Zicheng wants to become emperor as soon as possible, Niu Jinxing wants to be the prime minister of peace, and the generals want to create Mansion. When the Qing troops entered the pass and the Ming Dynasty armed forces came back, the rebel army was completely defeated. This reminds me of Ouyang Xiu's old saying, "Sorrow and labor can rejuvenate a country, and leisure and leisure can destroy one's life." When dangers arise, people can open their eyes and fight hard, so they can turn dangers into disasters; but in the midst of ease and enjoyment, their will fades and their energy is gone, resulting in a complete defeat. 4. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, farmer Chen Sheng was the first to raise the flag of righteousness to fight against the violent Qin Dynasty, and later became king. Chen Sheng, who became rich, not only forgot the promise he made when he was young, but also became greedy for pleasure, and was eventually defeated and killed. 5. Wolves prey on deer. People want to prevent deer from being hunted by wolves and kill wolves. They violate the principle of "survival of the fittest". As a result, there were fewer and fewer wolves, and I thought there would be more deer, but the opposite was true. why is that? It's because the deer lacks worries and only cares about living a free life. It used to be that when a wolf chased a deer, the deer would run. Now that the wolf is gone, the deer's physical condition will inevitably decline until it dies. It can be seen that the role of worry is of great benefit not only to people, but also to society and the entire nature. 6. For example, Edison made great contributions to mankind, but his family was poor when he was a child. Therefore, he lived frugally, saved change, purchased instruments and accessories, and created more than 1,300 inventions, which made human society possible. A sea change has occurred. What is the reason for this? It’s not based on his wisdom and hard-working spirit, but where does this spirit come from? An indomitable spirit is the result of suffering! Each of us should have a worried mind. Only with such an attitude can we succeed in our studies and our career! 7. A retired veteran cadre, who suffered many hardships when he was young, now lives a good life and only thinks about how to maintain health and enjoy himself all day long, and finally degenerates to the point of getting out of control. There are many such examples. What are the reasons for these people to do these things? The reason is that he has no worries in his heart to support him. As a result, he is defeated like those deer and is eventually eliminated by society. 8. King Wen was detained and the Zhouyi was detained, and Zhong Nie wrote "Spring and Autumn"; Qu Yuan was exiled and wrote "Li Sao"; Zuoqiu was blind, and he wrote "Guoliu"; Sun Tzu Binjiao revised the "Art of War"; Bu Wei moved to Shu , "Lu Lan", a historical biography, Han Fei was imprisoned in the Qin Dynasty, "Speaking of Difficulties", "Lonely Anger"; three hundred poems, most of which were written by sages out of anger. "It can be seen that adversity is not a bad thing and should be used as the driving force for rise. 9. Ouyang Xiu said that hard work can rejuvenate a country, and leisure can forget oneself. We live in such a happy era, and we should remember this. 10. The shepherd found that a few sheep were missing. It turned out that a wolf was eating the sheep. The shepherd killed the wolf. The sheep began to feel happy because they had no natural enemies. None of them could even run. The shepherd brought in a few more sheep. Only when a wolf comes, the sheep begin to grow stronger. Some people have also done experiments and found that the same sheep are stronger when they are in distress than in peace. Therefore, in nature, sometimes we can say that "they are born in sorrow and die in peace." .
