Dreams are the other shore, reality is this shore, action is the connecting bridge, and dreams are the beginning of reality! I have compiled materials about Jack Ma’s dreams for your reference!
***一***, chasing dreams
“Be realistic!” How helpless but people can’t help but Nod. In real life, dreams are often difficult to come true, and over time they can lead to disappointment or even despair. So do you only believe in reality?
French writer Alfred de Musset said: "Life is like a rose, each petal represents a dream, and each thorn reveals a reality." Of course, we cannot give up petals and live on barren grass to avoid being stung. No matter how hard it is, even if we are injured, we should plant a garden and be worthy of our lives.
Chasing dreams means not changing one’s original preferences for the opinions of others, and is an attitude of only seeking survival without being forced by the pressure of life. Huang Zhulin, a 26-year-old master figure who is a veteran of water shadow painting. He has been obsessed with art since he was a child, but he majored in civil engineering in college. After graduation, his parents arranged for him to work in a state-owned enterprise, but he found that he still liked painting. After more than four months of persistence, he resigned from his job despite his family's objections and devoted himself entirely to the creation of water shadow paintings. He did not settle for a stable job, nor did he live according to his parents' wishes; he pursued hope with enthusiasm and finally achieved a different kind of success.
Chasing dreams means not being bound by your own conditions, even if it seems incredible. Japan's emerging female poet Yutaka Shibata started writing poetry when she was 90 years old, encouraged by her son. In 1998, she published a collection of poems "Don't Be Discouraged in Life", with a circulation of 1.5 million copies in Japan. As one of her 77-year-old readers said: "People don't age when they get older. People with their own personality always keep looking forward even if the years pass." Those who chase dreams and enjoy life The pace will not stop because of age.
Chasing dreams is not an escape from reality, but working hard because you are full of hope for reality, and a resistance to changing the status quo. Resistance is just a gesture and has nothing to do with success or failure. Even if you don't succeed in chasing your dreams, at least you won't look back and regret that you didn't resist.
When chasing dreams, you cannot completely ignore practical conditions. This reminds me of the stone sculpture of an eagle on the left side of the entrance to the University of Turin - an eagle that starved to death. In order to realize the great ideal of flying around the world, the eagle worked hard to practice various flying skills, but forgot to learn the skills of foraging. As a result, it starved to death on the fifth day of the journey. Before realizing personal ideals, labor and survival skills are essential, otherwise it will only be a castle in the air and it will be difficult to achieve results.
"The most expensive thing I have ever bought is a dream!" In order to fulfill his dream of becoming a director, Taiwanese writer Jiu Baidao did not hesitate to spend all his money to make his first film.
Only by chasing your dreams can you realize yourself.
***II***, embrace dreams and face reality
A common admonition young people hear is: be realistic. In response, some people nodded silently, while others shook their heads stubbornly.
And I am willing to be one of those stubborn people who shake their heads. Being realistic is a kind of admonition, but it is more like a bondage. We wrap the thorns with layers of reality, and finally wrap it into a big ball of "mummy". We can't see the thorns, and we can't see the true self. Our edges have been smoothed away, and we have lost our youthful vitality. Perhaps all that is left for us, young people, is to be inactive and content to be mediocre.
I think of the Beijingers who "can't sleep and squint" in Lao She's "Thinking of Peiping". They were born at the gate of the imperial city at the foot of the emperor. They seem to be superior to others, but in fact they have lost all their dreams and hopes, leaving only Let’s live a more realistic life. In comparison, the group of enthusiastic young people in the movie "Beijing Youth" a few days ago showed us the energetic young people in the new era. They are exactly the group of stubborn and shaking head rebels - rebellious but full of enthusiasm. Vitality, passion and dreams.
This kind of enthusiasm with ideals is what I pursue and insist on. It belongs to us young people and is indispensable to society. But young people, don’t ignore it because of this. In other words, he completely defied the old man's advice: be realistic.
The elders have experienced more than us. They have seen more, heard more, and understood more naturally. Although the phrase "be realistic" is a blow to us who have dreams, it also reminds us that just Having dreams is not enough to lead to success. While we have dreams, we must also face reality.
Opening the long scroll of history and flipping through it, we can clearly see that no one who has achieved great things since ancient times has been willing to be mediocre and blindly realistic, but no one has achieved success with only fantasy. Those who climb ladders are like Liu Bang and Han Xin, Napoleon and Zhuge Liang, Lincoln and Martin Luther King, and Marie Curie and Einstein. How great the fantasy is, how bumpy the reality is. Having only great ambitions but no courage and ability to meet challenges, in the end I can only drown in the suffering of reality and sigh: "What can I do? Destiny is not in me."
"And those who are truly successful, no matter whether the reality is full of criticism or the mountains and rivers are broken, whether they are facing many dangers or sitting alone in the laboratory, they keep their dreams alive and face the reality unyielding.
Being realistic is a warning, a constraint, a challenge, and a test. Don't be overwhelmed by reality, and don't be divorced from reality and blindly have empty illusions.
Have a dream, face reality, and finally achieve it. Success.
***三***, Living like a cedar
On a slope in Quebec, Canada, there were no other trees except cedars. It turned out that it was due to the wind direction. Specially, the wind and snow here were heavy, and other trees were crushed. Only the cedar bent its branches under the pile of wind and snow, causing the snow to fall, and thus survived.
The young man heard. The admonition to "be realistic" often equates "reality" with negative and pessimistic words such as "cowardice" and "give up on dreams." But in my opinion, this admonition is full of survival wisdom and it is enlightening. How can we achieve our life goals with less resistance? It is advising us: Live like a cedar.
Living like a cedar does not mean learning to be diplomatic and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Rather, it emphasizes having a clear outlook, rational perspective, and accurate grasp of life. Only by having an in-depth analysis of reality can we find the optimal solution in life and only by clearly realizing where our upper limit is. , so that the effort will not be in vain. The little insect in "The Legend of the Grasshopper" loses its position and eventually dies. Only by making an objective and comprehensive assessment of the environment can it avoid being swallowed up by the giant waves. Although Kodak was once popular, it eventually went bankrupt due to its miscalculation of market trends and unclear future of technology. Therefore, living like a cedar is a prerequisite for realizing your dream.
Life is not about avoiding difficult situations, but actively seeking solutions. This kind of response is not "blind sacrifice", but an art of compromise. The British once mentioned when training intelligence agents during World War II: Once captured, You only need to maintain silence for 48 hours, and then you can surrender after buying time for your companions. Instead of foolishly using brute force to contend with others, you can cleverly find another way, that is, search for a breakthrough with a wise vision, and avoid unnecessary mistakes. Loss also builds the path to realize dreams. “The reason Jianghai can be the king of hundreds of grains is because he is good at it. "The philosophy of life that I want to advocate may not only be open-minded, but also have a layer of great wisdom. If you change your attitude in life, even if it seems to be showing weakness for the time being, you can actually gain more.
Like cedar Living the same life is a lesson for us to not forget our goals and ideals in the face of the chaos of the world, and to still remember our plans and future after repeated hardships. Someone once said: "Compromise is not about what you compromise." , but depends on what you insist on. "The cedar bends down in order to stand upright in the future, and people in the world can only keep their pride in their hearts so that they will not lose their faith.
Living like a cedar is not a flattery of "breaking one's eyebrows and bending one's waist to serve the powerful", but It is the mastery of "the weak overcomes the strong, the soft overcomes the strong", the farewell to the foolishness of "taking the beauty of the world as one's own", and the perseverance of "recovering strength despite the hardships of the east, west, north and south" < /p>
"Be realistic" may be like this, grow up while giving in, and never give up and move forward even if you cry.
