If the pain is beyond the pain, there will be rainbow-like happiness waiting on the other side. The best life is one that is bitter first and then sweet. It is the transformation like a phoenix's nirvana after suffering.
Life is like a cup of bitter coffee without sugar, mellow and mixed with bitterness. In fact, people have to accept many challenges and face many difficulties while living, so the essence of life is suffering. From another perspective, suffering is also a warning signal. It tells us that there are problems, dangers and difficulties. If you are unwilling to face it and do not try to solve the problems at hand, those problems will accumulate and overlap, forming a more serious dilemma, integrating into greater pain, and leading to collapse. So everyone must try to get out of the predicament and solve the problem in order to eliminate the pain.
Hard work is the secret to success, and it is also the basic quality that everyone who desires to succeed should possess. There is a saying that "after all hardship comes happiness", when a person improves his ability to a certain level through hard work, various development opportunities will naturally come to him.
Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, China, was selected as one of the "25 Most Influential Business Leaders in the World" by the American "Time" magazine. The Cheung Kong Holdings he established is the largest enterprise group in Hong Kong. His success is inseparable from hard work and hard work.
Li Ka-shing lost his father when he was young, and he shouldered the burden of the family on his shoulders. The age of 14 is the golden years for ordinary teenagers to study, and they should be carefree. However, due to livelihood constraints, he had to choose to drop out of school and find a job. He finally found a job as a waiter at Chun Ming Tea House in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong Island. Every morning around five o'clock, when most people are still asleep, he must pick up his energy and get out of the warm bed, and then rush to the teahouse to prepare tea and refreshments. His working hours are more than 15 hours a day. Life is simply a severe test and temper.
My uncle loved Li Ka-shing very much. In order to ensure that he could go to work on time, he bought him a small alarm clock as a gift. He set the alarm clock ten minutes forward so that he could be the first to arrive at the teahouse to open for work. The boss of the teahouse deeply appreciated his hard work and hard work, so Li Ka-shing became the employee with the fastest salary increase in the teahouse.
Someone once asked Li Ka-shing the secret of his success. Li Ka-shing told the following story:
At a lecture, someone asked the 69-year-old Japanese "god of salesman" Hara Ippei. What is the secret of sales? Please tell everyone. He took off his shoes and socks on the spot, invited the questioner to the podium, and said, "Please touch my soles." The questioner touched it and said in surprise: "The calluses on the soles of your feet are so thick!"
Yuan Yiping said: "Because I walk more roads than others and run harder than others."
After Li Ka-shing finished telling the story, he smiled and said: "I am not qualified to let you touch But I can tell you that the calluses on the soles of my feet are also very thick.”
This story told by Li Ka-shing gives us this revelation: no success in life comes easily. , cannot endure hardship, is unwilling to endure hardship, it is impossible to achieve any success. In fact, people's ability to endure suffering is very great. No matter how great the hardship is, they can do everything possible to overcome it.
Everyone is striving to pursue success and happiness. At the same time, some people are trying their best to avoid pain. However, success is inseparable from pain, which cannot be avoided no matter what. What people can do is how to shorten the pain, reduce and avoid the pain caused by their own reasons. If we encounter pain, we should not rush to avoid it, but strive to resolve the pain and strive for success.
“Only by enduring hardship can one become a superior person.” This wise saying that has been passed down for thousands of years tells us the truth: hard work is also the secret of success. Those who can bear hardships and stand hard work are rarely unsuccessful. This is because if you are used to hardship, you will no longer regard hardship as hardship, you can take it calmly, and you can be proactive when encountering setbacks. If you are afraid of hardship, it will not only be difficult to develop a proactive spirit, but you will also avoid difficulties and setbacks. Attitude, of course it will be difficult for people like this to succeed.
In a famous mountain, there are two stones, A and B. One day, Shitou A said to Shitou B: "It's really boring on the mountain. Let's go out and have a try. If we can give it a try, this life will be worthwhile." Shitou B disagreed. : "Why bother? Every day I am surrounded by flowers and plants around me and illuminated by the warm sunshine. Such days are so comfortable! The hardships and hardships on the road will definitely break me to pieces. I can't bear it!"< /p>
Seeing Shitou B say this, Shitou A shook his head and prepared to leave alone. On a rainy night, it rolled down the mountain stream. After experiencing wind, rain and the hardships of nature, it still persisted in running on its own path. Stone B laughed at its behavior and enjoyed comfort and happiness on the mountain every day. In his opinion, Jia Shitou is a madman.
In a blink of an eye. 50 years have passed. Stone A has gone through many hardships and become a rare treasure in the world, praised by millions of people. After Yi Shitou found out, he regretted not listening to the advice. Now it wants to throw itself into the baptism of the dust of the world, and then achieve the success and nobility that a stone has, but when it thinks of going through so many ups and downs and hardships, and even being covered with wounds and scars, it feels that it has no chance of enduring it. Courage, so he backed down again.
A few years later, in order to better collect the wonders of stone art, people planned to build an exquisite and unique museum for Jia Shitou. All the construction materials were stone. So the craftsmen came to the mountain, smashed stone B into pieces, and built a house on stone A.
Both stones A and B both yearn for glory. However, stone A chose the hardships and was willing to temper in a harsh environment, so it became a treasure in stone art; but stone B did not. Not daring to go through the pain, and ended up being shattered to pieces.
Aren’t the two stones A and B exactly who we are in reality? Think about it, have you ever had this mentality: longing for beauty, but unwilling to persist; being in a difficult situation, but not having the courage to endure it at all. You are naturally insulated from success.
Yu Minhong, President of "New Oriental" once said: "People should not be afraid of difficulties, setbacks and failures in this life. The important thing is to have a good attitude when we encounter difficulties. There are two kinds of people in the world, One kind of person will be afraid when encountering difficulties and failures, and will fall down in despair. This kind of person will generally appear as a loser throughout his life; the other kind of person will use bravery after encountering difficulties and setbacks. If you deal with it with a strong heart and perseverance, it will be easy for such people to accomplish things in the future. Therefore, I feel that no matter whether you are willing to move forward or not, you will always encounter difficulties in life, but the results will be different. , if you don’t move forward, life will always be like this; but when you encounter difficulties and move forward, you will overcome it.”
Don’t you envy Yu Minhong’s current achievements? Those who accomplished great things in ancient times not only had extraordinary talents, but also had perseverance. The shopping mall is no exception. All successful people go from scratch to success and are always accompanied by perseverance. Always remember this sentence - only by enduring hardship can one become a master!
