people who are in trouble should recall their initial intentions and ambitions, cheer up and move on; For those who have a successful career and all the best, we should pay attention to whether he can persist and consider the outcome.
Life is a long road. There are high-light moments, and there must be low-valley confusion. Being able to strengthen your heart at low tide and practice your skills diligently at smooth times will master the ultimate wisdom.

In prosperity, cultivate skills
Bi Shumin said, "It is a truth that silkworms are wrapped in their own silk."
that's true.
Silkworm babies will begin to spin silk after a certain period of time.
He vomited intently, imagining that after more than 2 days of hard work, he could build a beautiful palace for himself. It worked hard meticulously, weaving a beautiful world it imagined ... < P > In less than a month, the silkworm baby formed a white and fat cocoon with the silk it vomited hard, and wrapped itself tightly. I thought that I finally had a perfect mansion, and I could enjoy the rest of my life from now on ...
However, the next fate was that the silkworm raiser threw it into a boiling pot with cocoons and boiled it alive. Not only did the fruits of labor become other people's fabrics, but also their lives were lost.
Silkworms are full of joy, and they are busy day and night. It can be said that they don't work hard. However, in the state of ignorance, it is going to perish.
it's like people in prosperity. If you don't have awareness, you can't find the hidden dangers ahead in time, improve yourself and adjust your direction in time, and you will easily be like a silkworm wrapped in yourself.
Prosperity is not a paradise, just like the turbulent undercurrent and the dense reefs. We also need to be vigilant and empowered at all times. Improve skills in smoothness and seek breakthroughs on the inherent basis.
Zuo Zhuan says, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be prepared for danger."
This just reminds us that when we are in prosperity, we should also have a sense of hardship and not forget to "cultivate strength".
Kung Fu is done in daily life, always keeping an enterprising heart, constantly learning and growing for life. In this way, we can be invincible in time and not fail in time.

In times of adversity, cultivate your mind
Su Shi wrote in Dingfengbo: "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not sing and walk slowly."
every time I read it, I feel infinitely moved.
if we can really do it, we will not pay attention to the sound of rain beating through the forest and leaves, and let go of our throats and chant and scream leisurely, then we will certainly have the taste of Liu Yuxi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty.
in the winter of 821 ad, the north wind blew bitterly. After Liu Yuxi was demoted again, he moved to Hezhou to be a secretariat. Local officials bullied him and demoted him, making things difficult in every way.
at first, the magistrate of a county arranged him by the river in the south of the city, which was isolated and sparsely populated. Liu Yuxi, without saying anything, gladly stayed.
Get up early to watch the morning glow rise from the river, and watch Qian Fan float by at dusk. In addition to appreciating the vastness of the world, there is also philosophical thinking about life. From this, I wrote: "Facing the great river and watching the white sails, I am arguing with the state."
Poetry made the magistrate jealous and hated, and ordered his men to help him move to the north of the city, far away from the river, and the house was reduced from three to one and a half rooms.
Liu Yuxi lives in a new house. Although the place is small, he finds that the green willows on the river bank at the door are shaded and lingering. When my heart moved, I became a poem again: "weeping willows and green rivers, people are in Liyang and their hearts are in Beijing."
twice making things difficult, not only did Liu Yuxi not feel sad, but the title of the poem was even more prosperous. The magistrate of a county simply refused to stop and forced his "home" to move again.
this time, far away from the river and the river bank, in the middle of the county seat, I gave a shabby house. Small enough to hold only one bed, one table and one chair ...
However, what the magistrate of a county didn't expect was that it was this small room that gave birth to the immortal "Humble Room Inscription".
"I'm humble, but I'm virtuous ... I talk and laugh with a great scholar, but I don't associate with Bai Ding ..."
The shack is simple, and it's just my body that wears me down. Liu Yuxi's soul is free and rich. It is precisely because he has a free and powerful heart that can stand the sword and halberd of life. During his nearly half-life relegation career, he was able to create hundreds of poems and famous articles.
life is a long way, full of risks and difficulties. If you can't keep a heart, you can only be a rootless duckweed, swaying in the wind. Without a heart lamp, how can we walk through the long night?
Adversity often happens. Learning to cultivate your mind in adversity is your only way out. When the mind is fixed, the body can be safe; If you are safe, things can be done.
adversity cultivates the mind, but it cultivates the will; What is honed is the mind; What is promoted is the magic weapon of winning in life and the wisdom of life.

In prosperity and adversity, one needs to practice.
I have read a sentence in Caigen Tan: "In adversity, one is full of needles and stones, and he is not aware of it; When I was in prosperity, I did my best to sell my spear, and I didn't know it. "
In adversity, it is like sticking needles and applying medicine all over your body, which will unconsciously hone your will and conduct; Being in a smooth and comfortable environment is actually like being surrounded by various weapons, which will consume your body and will unconsciously.
that's true when you think about it.
Adversity is often easier to work hard than prosperity. Because the surrounding difficulties are like thorns, people in them are always thinking about escape and liberation. From this, we will try our best to get out of trouble.
In good times, such as the brocade quilt and the gentle hometown, people are most likely to be intoxicated and forget the potential risks; Le Taotao, lose morale.
In fact, whether in prosperity or adversity, you need to stay awake and practice.
It is a necessary practice to actively hone one's personal skills in prosperity. And adversity is uncompromising, objective and calm, which is also the persistence and promotion of the mind.
life is a journey. There are laughter and tears, sadness and joy. It is an experience of life and a process of spiritual practice.
Just like a piece of tea, it is not only grown and picked, but also fried and dried. It is necessary to brew with boiling water to taste it, so that it can be full of fragrance.
so is life.
Only after grinding and selecting can the rough texture be peeled off, leaving the fine and essence; Only by constantly taking the initiative to practice can we get rid of the false and keep the true and achieve perfection day by day.
There is a sentence written in the last
The Journey to the West: "The mountain height has its own passenger road, and the water depth has its own ferryman."
Yes, life is a long way, with too many variables and possibilities. Remember that no matter when or in what circumstances, don't abandon yourself, let alone give up on yourself.
Because there is no hurdle in life, there is a road high in the mountain and a boat deep in the water.
turning the winding path leads to a secluded place, there will be a bright future; If you keep up with the storm, there will be clouds and fog.
