Section 8 Don't be moved by gains and losses

In life, there are gains and losses, and it is always difficult to balance the two. Therefore, in life, cherish what you have and be content; For those things that should not be obtained, do not use unscrupulous means and blindly ask for extravagance; For what you have lost, don't dwell on the cup, you can't let go. This is shrewdness, wisdom and tact.

Focusing too much on personal gains and losses can make a person narrow-minded and short-sighted. People will not only lose their joy, but also lose opportunities and the ability to grasp the direction of life.

Friedrich Nietzsche, a well-known Western philosopher and aesthete, once pointed out: "The art of living a long and good life without suffering from gains and losses." "A person who spends his life in the midst of gains and losses is full of worries all the time, and his life ages faster as a result; He who does not suffer from gains and losses will have a long life because of the joy of all the moments.

There are often such people in life, who are shrouded in the shadow of gains and losses all day long, and the atrium is disturbed by gains and losses without a moment of peace. When he loses his only ten dollars and can't go home, and you enthusiastically give him ten dollars for the fare home, he will be even more sad, "If I hadn't lost my money, I would have twenty dollars now." "If you buy a dress with her, I'm afraid the soles of your shoes will wear out, because she's afraid of missing out on which store, losing the price comparison, and finally having to complain here and there when she buys something. These people are nervous all day long, anxious and uneasy, where can life be easy and happy?

Here's what this bettor thinks about the gains and losses:

My colleague is not a fan of money, but he is a lottery player, he only buys one or two bets a day, but insists on buying every issue, he bought it for a year, not to mention what 4 million jackpot he won, even a small prize of 5 yuan and 10 yuan has not won a few times. Everyone laughed at him for lighting the lamp in broad daylight in vain. He said that if you buy it, you may not win the jackpot, but if you don't buy it, you will never win the jackpot, and I will not let go of the opportunity.

That day, he went to buy it again. He looked at the previous number chart to choose the number. He chose the numbers 3, 5, 6, 14, 18, 19, 22, and 34. But just before he could cast his ticket, he felt that the number 12 was much more likely to appear than 14, so he changed the number 14 to 12.

The dramatic results are on this change, with the current draw results being 3, 5, 6, 14, 18, 19, 22, 35. Because of this change, my colleague lost hundreds of thousands of yuan in the grand prize.

When he went to claim the prize, he talked lightly about his account change, and a group of lottery players did not beat their chests for him, hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is a large amount after all. But my colleague didn't look very annoyed, and still smiled and asked the owner to play two tickets for him.

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself." The ancients came to this truth as early as a thousand years ago, let alone our modern people today? If you struggle with gains and losses, life is too boring.

Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing? Misfortune is often accompanied by blessing, and misfortune is often lurking in blessing. Gaining it is not necessarily a good thing, and losing it is not necessarily a bad thing.

A man lost in the desert, in the scorching heat, with unbearable hunger and thirst. Just when he couldn't hold it anymore, he found an abandoned hut with a pumping machine in it.

He excitedly stepped forward to draw water, but could not pull out half a drop. At this time, he saw a bottle full of water next to the pump, and a note was attached to the bottle, which said: You must fill the pump with water to draw water! Don't forget, before you leave; Please fill up with water again!

What to do? It's good to be able to pump water, but what if the water is wasted and can't be pumped? Isn't it possible for you to die here? If you drink the water in the bottle, you can stay away from hunger and thirst for a while. The man hesitated.

After thinking about it, he poured the water into the pump, and after a while, he drew out the clear spring water, and he not only drank enough, but also brought enough water, and finally walked out of the desert.

Before leaving, he filled the bottle with water and added a few words to the note: The words on the note are true, you can only get more water if you discard the water in the bottle first!

If you lose, you will gain. Giving up and gaining are a contradictory unity. There is no gain without giving up; What you gain is also what you lose. There must be a gain and a loss, and only by giving up something can there be more gain.

Life is like a room, if you want to move into new furniture, electrical appliances or something, you have to drop some things first. Giving up is not losing, and the right renunciation is often a new turning point, a reborn process.

Suffering from gains and losses is the most common psychological hidden danger in life, the spiritual shackles of life, and the shadow attached to people. Shadows appear in life because we block the sun of life. What is the sun of life? It is the ideal, it is the pursuit, it is the love of life, the embrace of life, it is an optimistic and positive attitude towards life, to create a brilliant life, we must smash the spiritual shackles, throw away the ideological baggage, and get out of the shadow of gains and losses.

There are often such people in life, who are shrouded in the shadow of gains and losses all day long, and the atrium is disturbed by gains and losses without a moment of peace. If you want to live a long life and live well, you must get rid of the problem of gaining and losing.
