Learn to choose and achieve a brilliant life. People will always experience countless choices in their lives. In just a few decades, how should they choose their own lives? But only by learning to choose can we have a different harvest and life. Next, I will share with you the wonderful life of learning to choose.
Learn to choose a brilliant life 1 First of all, the choice that suits you is the best choice.
Each of us is carried forward by the torrent of the times, and we refer to other people's choices to enrich our future picture.
My classmates are taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and I also want to take the exam, although I don't want to study any more; I want to take the civil service exam with my friends, because everyone says that civil servants work comfortably, even though my initial dream was to be a strong woman.
The same choice means different things to different people, and the measure of meaning should be whether this choice is suitable for you.
"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely." The leisurely and quiet pastoral life of the ancients still makes our hearts yearn for it after thousands of years.
At the age of 29, Tao Yuanming entered the officialdom under the recommendation of relatives and friends. At that time, he offered wine in Jiangzhou and joined the army in Jianwei.
However, when he was young, he was deeply influenced by Taoist thought and seclusion atmosphere, yearning for freedom, coupled with the intrigue of officialdom, unsatisfactory official career and disillusionment of political ideals, which made him more convinced that this was not the life he wanted.
So after repeated ideological struggles, he finally chose to throw away this black hat and return to the countryside. Seclusion is quiet and comfortable, and it is this state of mind and atmosphere that makes hermits leave eternal poems.
Although long-term seclusion will make him hungry and cold, questioning his' choice' of resigning at the beginning, he finally chose not to bow for Wudoumi, because he knew that he could not go along with the decadent ruling group, and seclusion in the countryside was the most suitable way for him.
It is precisely because Tao Yuanming suits his choice. For thousands of years, his pastoral, his poems, his thoughts and his complacency have been sung by later generations.
So when there are two roads in front of us, only the one that suits us is the best choice.
Second, there is no right or wrong choice.
Today, Lu Xun's famous sentence "Where there is heat, there is light" is still the spiritual pillar that inspires countless young students to forge ahead.
We are all familiar with Lu Xun's story. When we talk about him, we can always think of his courage to resolutely abandon medicine and join the arts.
When Lu Xun traveled to Japan, he hoped to be a doctor, to treat patients who were victimized by quacks, and let China people get rid of the insulting title of "the sick man of East Asia".
But the cruel reality made him deeply realize that physical health can't save China people, and mental cowardice and numbness are the "diseases" that China people should treat most.
So he decided to return to China, using pen as a weapon, and tried to save China people spiritually through literature.
The later story is familiar to everyone. Lu Xun replaced Ge with a pen and fought all his life. He was called "soul of china" by later generations.
If at that time, Lu Xun's choice to abandon medicine and pursue literature was right or wrong, it would be difficult to assert.
Because if he finishes his studies and becomes a generation of famous doctors, we can't measure which contribution is greater than replacing Ge with a pen.
Today, when we look back at history, we are all thanking Lu Xun for his original choice. But this does not mean that the choice at that time was correct.
Because there is no right or wrong choice, because we can't predict the result it will lead to, all we can do is to make the initial choice more correct through follow-up efforts. It is obvious that Lu Xun did this.
Third, every choice is worth going all out.
Since there is no right or wrong choice, we should move forward firmly in the direction of choice after careful consideration.
Li Shizhen's family practiced medicine, but at that time, due to the low status of folk doctors, Li Shizhen's father hoped that Li Shizhen would take the exam and enter the official career.
Li Shizhen doesn't like stereotyped writing and wants to study medicine. He voted for his father and said, "Sail against the current, your heart is stronger than a stone. I hope that my father will aim high and not be afraid of difficulties until he dies. " Li Shizhen's father beat him, so he agreed.
From 1565, Li Shizhen collected medicinal materials in Maoshan, Huguang, Anhui, Hebei and other places, and worshipped farmers, fishermen and others as teachers.
He walked through Wan Li Road and met countless people. Twenty-seven years later, he completed this legendary masterpiece, Compendium of Materia Medica. This book is a masterpiece of materia medica.
After its publication, it soon spread to Korea, Japan and other countries, and was later translated into Japanese, French, German, Korean and Latin. Li Shizhen was also revered as a "medicine saint" by later generations.
Li Shizhen made a choice at the fork of his destiny without hesitation. What's more, he practiced his original oath with his own practical actions and completed this extraordinary work for the benefit of future generations.
Learning to choose and making a choice is only the first step. Only by assuming the responsibility behind the choice can we be worthy of the original choice.
Everyone has a long life, but the most important thing is the most critical steps when you are young.
At the age of high spirits and boiling blood, you must think more and give yourself more choices. Although no road will be smooth and even full of thorns, some choices will make you go faster and reach the far place you want to go more easily.
Only by paying attention to choice can we live a good life.
Learn to choose and make a brilliant life II. The choice between doing and not doing.
What is "doing something and not doing something"? In other words, people must stay awake and know what they can do before the law and morality, and what they can never do? At the end of Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang explained this point with his life.
Wen Tianxiang was a famous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty. After the court in the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by Mongols, Wen Tianxiang led the rebel army to resist the Yuan Dynasty, but was finally captured by the Yuan Army. Kublai Khan, the leader of Yuan Army, personally came to surrender to Wen Tianxiang, but Wen Tianxiang was indifferent, determined not to be a "second minister" and wrote a "song of righteousness and peace" for later generations. In the end, Wen Tianxiang died generously, but the famous saying "No one has died since ancient times, so open your heart and shine on our history" has been passed down through the ages.
Second, there is a first choice.
Life is a painful multiple-choice question, and the choice is often divided into before and after. If you choose the former, you lose the latter, and if you choose the latter, you die. Because of this, choice is equally important.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was chaos in the world, and rebel armies in various places rebelled one after another to destroy the Yuan army. However, after that, rebel leaders began to kill each other, resulting in many able-bodied men dying by their own swords. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was different. He adopted the advice of his advisers and adopted the principle of "building a high wall, accumulating grain widely and becoming king slowly". He never cared about the so-called "king" title, but worked hard step by step on the road of development and finally won the world and became a generation of founding emperors.
Third, unpopular and popular choices.
In graduation season, students often choose to apply for popular majors, but few people apply for unpopular majors. In fact, it is equally important to apply for the unpopular major, because the competitive pressure of the unpopular major is small, which can basically make you the most prominent member.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Shuai held a high position in the State of Chu and was highly valued by the King of Chu. Before he died, he told his son that if the king of Chu gave him a large piece of land, he would refuse. He only chose a thin field in the tomb, and his son did the same. Sure enough, decades have passed, and the fiefs of Chu nobles have been occupied one after another, and even many fiefs have become battlefields. Only when the burial place is uncontroversial can the Sun family "keep flowing" and save the life of the family.
Fourth, the choice of high and low goals
"How bold people are and how productive the land is", the height of a person's success in life often depends on his own ambition. Xiang Yu wanted to be the overlord all his life, so it was difficult for him to become the emperor. Although Liu Bang was born a rogue, he firmly believed that he could be the founding king and finally became the emperor.
During the Three Kingdoms period, both Liu Bei and Sun Quan, who were very talented for some time, were kings, but they went to two extremes respectively. Liu Bei, who is famous for his ambition, has always taken it as his duty to help the Han family, which is also the reason why he laid a large area of land in Shu. On the other hand, Sun Quan intends to preserve the legacy of his ancestors. In the end, I can only be trapped in Xiaojiangdong and become a vassal. Liu Bei aims at the world, and Sun Quan aims at Jiangdong. Their ambitions and chances of success are highly praised.
Fifth, the choice of right and wrong concepts.
To live is to live thoroughly, clearly, understand right and wrong, and understand good, evil, beauty and ugliness. Never do anything that goes against your conscience, and you must be firm in your faith when choosing.
Hong Hao, the minister of rites in the Southern Song Dynasty, was ordered to send an envoy to the State of Jin. However, Jin detained him without authorization. Hong Hao resolutely refused to give in and was imprisoned in the desert for 15 years. However, Hong Hao still did not forget his motherland, and finally returned home after suffering. He was honored as "the second in Su Wu" by the imperial court, was named Duke of Wei of Grand Priest, and died as "Zhong Xuan". Hong Hao maintained moral integrity with his life, and also wrote a picture of loyalty and no regrets with his actions.
