Chapter 45 Provoke the Great Responsibility

First, the heavens sent a great responsibility

Principal Qian asked, "Isn't it good to give such a person a great responsibility from heaven?" The little girl said: "It's not bad, I mean that people are not suffering, tired, or hungry, so why can't they take on the great responsibility of heaven if everything is right?" Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Principal Qian asked again: "How is your life at home for the past nine years?"

The little girl raised her head, her big eyes flickered twice, and said, "When I was young, my mother invited me to nurse three wet nurses, and I fed until I was more than two years old, and my mother said that this was to increase the nutrition in my body. I have never been hungry since I was a child, and I have never encountered difficulties in lack of money to spend, and everything is as expected. ”

Principal Qian followed up and asked, "What do you say?"

The little girl said: "When I was four years old in kindergarten, one day my aunt asked more than a dozen of our children to go to the podium to choose toys, and it was the child Ah Xia who snatched the toys I wanted, and I cried a lot about it." That's the only time I can remember things that didn't go as planned. So sort of!"

Principal Qian nodded and said, "Little student Hu Zhiyan, you said very well, you can sit down now, the conversation between the two of us just now is exactly the topic of our lecture today." ”

He stood on the podium and pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Today's social life is very different from that of Mencius's time, and today our human material production is extremely rich, and most people in society will not suffer from hunger, and the mechanization of industry and agriculture will make people no longer suffer from physical and bone fatigue.

However, our society is a competitive society, and you are still young and have not yet felt the pressure of competition in school, so what is competition? Let me give you a simple example: Hu Zhiyan, you scored 90 points in the exam, and your table mate scored 95 points, which requires you to study hard to catch up with and surpass your tablemate, and you will have to score 100 points in the next exam, and this is the competition between you and your tablemate. The competition in learning can make every student in the class compare, learn, catch, help, and surpass, and this competitive atmosphere enables everyone to work hard, upward, work hard, and strive to be the best.

When you grow up, enter the society to engage in a variety of different jobs, someone in the workplace as a clerk, then your work, you must make progress in current affairs, or your colleagues do a better job than you, you may have to be reduced salary and difficult to promote; if you are the boss of a company, then your company will encounter a lot of competition from peer companies, then your company's products must be better than other peer companies, the price is low, only in this way can your company's products sell fast, in order to defeat competitors and become the winner of the whole industry, in order to take on the responsibility of high-quality product production。 Only competition can produce producers of high-quality products, only competition can produce excellent workers in the workplace, and only competition can produce excellent students in schools.

Competition makes the winning company stronger, competition makes the students better, and competition makes the clerk work better. Then God will hand over the products to the winning enterprises to produce, God will hand over the work to the excellent clerks to do, and God will train the excellent students to be even better. This is what Mencius said: Heaven descends to the great task of man.

However, these company bosses, excellent clerks, and excellent students who take on great responsibilities must "act in a disorderly manner" in the process of getting excellent. That is, they will always have a lot of competitors to do things, causing them to be upside down and unsatisfactory. They can only be winners if they win against thousands of competitors.

So how is the winner made, that is, to suffer from inner pain, physical exhaustion, hunger, emaciation, and poverty. Only such a person can cultivate a strong character, a strong will and an indomitable spirit of struggle in the midst of hardship.

You are living happily now, just like what Hu Zhiyan just said, but this will make people lack fighting spirit, languish and difficult to take on the great responsibilities that have fallen from heaven.

If we want the rich second generation to be stronger than the next, we must endure hardships and stand hard work, endure the tempering of a difficult life, and work hard in sorrow and suffering, so as to take on the great responsibility of the heavens. ”
