Famous quote:

Be prepared for danger when you are in times of peace; thinking means you are prepared, and if you are prepared, you will be safe.

Born in sorrow, dies in happiness

If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries

Example:

Fan Li is prepared for danger in times of peace and understands that he cannot He and Gou Jian became rich and powerful, took the initiative to retire, saved his life, and achieved Tao Zhu's blessing. However, without such foresight, the literary genre could not escape the fate of "the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks".

Negative examples: Liu Chan, Empress Chen, the Qing Dynasty was closed to the outside world.

There is such an interesting and thought-provoking experiment. If a frog is accidentally thrown into a boiling 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 eventually 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, died in happiness." In the journey of life, adversity reminds people to be vigilant and inspire people to forge ahead, while the comfortable and superior environment does not It wears down people's will, makes them indulge in happiness and comfort, and often accomplishes nothing. Some people even indulge in drunkenness and self-destruction in their comfortable moments. This is very similar to a frog leaping up when faced with danger and lying down waiting to die in warm water.
