Chapter 848
"The first time I heard this story, I was in elementary school, and it was a small episode from a TV series. At that time, after this episode, the adults who watched TV together said quite educationally: Look, if you don't study hard, it will end up like this, and you can only go to herd sheep. Pan Xueliang said.
At that time, I was quite naïve, and I thought I was very mature, and I thought that this sheep herding child was very naïve. The ideal of a lifetime is just to sell sheep to make money, marry a daughter-in-law and have children, and then let his children continue to herd sheep. How could you have no ambition to do this? At that time, I thought that the ideal was to have more invention patents than Edison and earn more money than Bill Gates. As a result, this sheep-herding child deed has become a counterexample of life in consciousness.
After that, I had big ambitions for n years, but I found that my ambitions were getting smaller and smaller. On the contrary, I feel more and more that the joke of herding sheep and children, which has been considered for n years, is closer to the life of most people. How many of us go to kindergarten to go to a good elementary school, elementary school to go to a good junior high school, junior high school to go to a key high school, high school to go to a glorious university, go to college to go to graduate school, and graduate school entrance examination is to get a doctorate. After finishing school, I ended my student career, integrated into the big collective of society, and like everyone else, began to work hard to earn money and save money to buy a house. After that, the family urged to find a partner, and then the blind date took a lot of effort to find a person who he may not like, but the family was quite satisfied, and gave birth to a child. Then let him repeat your story, in fact, the story of the sheep herding child is our story, but the sheep herding baby lives a life that we envy.
"Life is originally a cyclical process, you inherit your parents, your children inherit yours, the difference is that only you know the ups and downs, so you must cherish your own reincarnation and enjoy life. That's right. When you can be complacent, you are still happy, and you don't have to worry about it when you don't want it, but now you can see through the cycle, smile and lean on the railing and nod secretly. Li Dianqi said.
"We are actually no different from this sheep herding baby, calm down and think about it carefully, what we will go in the future is not to find a job, earn money, buy a car and a house, marry a daughter-in-law, and have children. This life path is very similar to that of a sheep herding baby, except for the material difference in pursuit, there is no difference in essence. Everyone is basically a sheep herding baby, but the version is different, but the ending is all the same. Chang Shouxin said.
"If you have to find a difference, it is that the sheep herding baby will be happier than us. Qiu Weiqiang said.
When he is herding sheep, he can bask in the sun and enjoy life. When you're in a bad mood, shout a mountain song. The worry is nothing more than the changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The arrival of wind, frost, snow and rain. And what about us? Every day we work under more or less pressure, when we are irritable, we get drunk every night. I worry about house prices, prices, deposits, and stocks all day long. He lived a mechanical and egoless life until he retired. Some people may say that when we retire, we will also live a comfortable life. Speaking of which, another story comes to mind: there was a master's degree in economics who met a sunbathing fisherman on the beach. So the two began to talk. The master of economics was curious about the life of a fisherman, and the fisherman told him: I go out to sea to catch two nets of fish every day. After the needs of the family, come to the beach to bask in the sun. The master said: You can catch two more nets of fish a day in the future, and after the remaining balance, you can buy a good fishing boat. After that you'll catch more fish, you'll have more balance, and you'll be able to buy a few more boats. Set up a company. Then he bought a helicopter and used the plane to direct the fishing boats to fish, and the master spat and flew to design the future for the fisherman. The fisherman asked curiously, "What am I going to do from now on?" The master said, "From now on, you can bask in the sun on the beach every day." The fisherman smiled and said, "Am I not basking in the sun on the beach?" I finally understood: our busyness in the first half of our lives was to live a life of a fisherman and a sheep herder in our later years.
"If a person lacks something higher and stronger than the outside world. Then it only takes a serious cold to cause him to lose his normality, so that when he sees a bird, he thinks it is an owl, and when he hears a sound, he thinks it is a dog. At such times, all his optimism or pessimism, and the great and small thoughts that arise from it, become purely pathological and nothing else. Pan Xueliang said.
"I read a little story two days ago, the content is very short, but after reading it, I am very touched, the story is like this. Zhang Jian said.
Piggy asked, "Where is Mommy's happiness?"
Mom said, "Happiness is in your tail." ”
So, the piglet began to bite its tail with its mouth. Mom smiled and said, "As long as you keep moving forward, happiness will always follow you." ”
Now you, are you also like that little pig, chasing your own tail? In life, we should also believe that whether it is adversity or setbacks, as long as we move forward bravely, the little tail of happiness will always follow us. So, the question arises again, what is happiness? This question is like what beauty is, there is no fixed term. Happiness is just a feeling, and you feel as happy as you are. However, there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory in real life, which will make people feel depressed, so happiness is getting farther and farther away from us. Now think about why we can't look at things with a normal heart. If you have a normal heart, be an ordinary person, and be a normal person, happiness will always follow you.
"Ordinary mind is easier said than done, the most important thing is conservation, and one of the things we often encounter as an example is enough to illustrate this problem. Pan Xueliang said.
"What's the matter?" Xu Feng asked.
"When funeral for a colleague's deceased relatives, when walking into the crematorium, looking at the deceased lying quietly, many people feel empty in their hearts, as if they understand a lot of truth in a flash, and feel that it is too boring to compete for fame and fortune, and struggle for a lifetime, and the final outcome is nothing more than that. Pan Xueliang said.
No matter how powerful the characters are, they will eventually turn into wisps of green smoke and drift into the blue sky like the deceased. Gone forever, no one will ever speak of him again. If you think about it, fame and fortune are a hair, even if you give him all the money in the world, you won't take away a penny after all. As a result, I felt that money was like dung and that wealth was like floating clouds, and I even had remorse for what I had done before, and I was determined to change my past. But when I walked out of the crematorium and reintegrated into the secular life, I completely forgot the feeling I felt when I was in the crematorium, and I was still happy to go around Vanity Fair, fighting between you and me.
"Many people are only able to truly realize and enlighten when they are about to pass away and express their helplessness in their hearts that they really want to live for another 500 years, but it is already too late. It can be seen that it is too difficult to always maintain a normal heart. It's easy to talk about ordinary minds, but it's hard to cultivate, it's easy to talk about others, but it's hard to overcome yourself. Xu Feng said.
"Lao Tzu said, look up to the sky, bow down to others, no matter how capricious the world is, as long as your heart is as calm as water, open and frank, you will not be ashamed of others. Zhang Jian said.
Everyone comes into this world naked, and with empty fists in their hands, they die with nothing, and they will eventually turn to dust. So, don't aspire to the best in life. Whatever life gives, you can accept it in peace. You don't have to pursue things that are dispensable and don't affect the meaning of life. As long as you use a peaceful mind to face a qiē calmly, you will feel that the danger is also a tidal flat, the mountains are also a plain, and the sea is also a drop in the ocean. Look at things, take his positive side, what honor and disgrace, ups and downs, laughter and scolding, right and wrong, can be regarded as idle.
"Quiet, calm, calm like water, not negative lazy, not to avoid reality, indifferent to life, but still water deep flow, in the chaos of the world, leave a pure and quiet spiritual space for yourself, whether it is the ebb and flow, or whether it is sunny or sunny, you can avoid impetuousness, no hesitation, move forward bravely, and easily take every step on the road of life. Pan Xueliang said.
"To truly comprehend the meaning of ordinary heart, and take it as the criterion of life, to obtain infinite joy and satisfaction from it, and to be a person who is always happy, it is necessary to have both a lofty spiritual realm and wise rational thinking. In this way, the connotation of ordinary mind is broad and profound, and what seems to be an ordinary ordinary mind is actually not ordinary. Chen Zihao said.
Many people attach great importance to fame and money, and they also regard it as their own goal, wandering in fame and money all their lives, and as a result, they fall deeper and deeper, and cannot extricate themselves. Xu Feng said.
"Because the current society is too cruel, people have to chase fame and fortune, and those who really look down on it have once had fame and fortune, but after some hardships, they have realized that they have seen through the space and think that there is nothing worth pursuing. Li Tiecheng said.
"Fame and fortune in a person's life are certainly heavy, but not too much, it is too tiring to live like this, and to look down on fame and fortune is a respected person, otherwise, on the contrary, people know all their lives that they can't bring it in life and can't take it away in death, so why bother being so tired. Wei Dahai said.
"The goal of struggle is to have, and the desire to get ahead is also the desire of most people. Pan Xueliang said.
But fame and fortune are not the ultimate goal of struggle, it is just a reward for success, but a few dazzling bouquets on the road of life. Everyone is eager to succeed, but success does not necessarily have to be a struggle for fame and fortune, honestly and happily live for a lifetime, which is also called success, because you have achieved happiness. That being said, I'm afraid there are very few people who actually do this. (To be continued.) )
