234: Success is born in adversity and stress
In a person's life, there will be tribulations and misfortunes, big and small, no matter who they are, they cannot escape the tricks of the god of fate. However, it is these tribulations and misfortunes that forge our character, increase our wisdom, and lead us to the true meaning of life, helping us to succeed in our careers. This is just as the Buddha Shakyamuni said: "In the three worlds of the ten directions, all Buddhas take suffering as a good teacher." ”
A life without pain is a boring life. Joy without pain is uninteresting and cheap joy. The symphony of life is only equipped with painful bass to form a complete movement of intonation and abruptness. If a person's life is too smooth, it is a misfortune, and setbacks are our great teachers. It is also the most valuable asset. It makes people think that when they encounter a cliff, it is not a desperate situation, but a ladder rope.
As the saying goes, "Success has been a lot of hardships since ancient times." "In our struggle for the cause, we inevitably encounter the hurt of frustration and jealousy, and jealousy is a corrosive agent, it can ruin a career or a person's life, but it is also a catalyst, it can also provide us with an opportunity to succeed. The monk Jianzhen of the Tang Dynasty suffered a lot in order to go to Japan to preach the Dharma and was framed, but finally succeeded in the sixth eastward crossing. Master Xuanzang traveled thousands of miles to endure hardships and finally retrieved the true scriptures from Tianzhu Kingdom.
Frustration is like adversity, and adversity is sometimes the gateway to success. The Buddha said, "Adversity is to increase the upper edge." The British scholar Beveridge once said: "People's best work is often done in the face of adversity, and mental pressure, and even physical pain, can become spiritual motivation." "A frustration is a major test in life, and being kind to frustration is the ladder of our success. This is just as Balzac said: "Adversity is the step of genius, the water of baptism of believers, the priceless treasure of the capable, and the bottomless abyss of the weak." ”
The famous inventor of Grignard's reagent, Greenia, was idle and unlearned when he was young. At a banquet, a countess unceremoniously rebuked him: "Please stand away." I hate it most than anything for a playboy like you to block people's views. This sentence made Greenia lose face and pierced him deeply, but Greenia did not sink, but left her parents and went to Lyon to study hard. During his studies, Greenia developed a strong interest in chemistry, and after thousands of arduous experiments, he finally invented an important chemical reagent, and in recognition of his significant contribution to science, in 1921 the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and soon after the news broke, Greenia received a congratulatory letter from the countess with "I love you forever".
"When the water hits the stone, the sound is loud, and the ambition of the person is great. I remember the French writer Montrand once said, "It is a great thing to be successful in the eyes of others, because it proves that you have overcome not only yourself but also others." "Turning pressure into motivation and challenges into opportunities is the character of a person with aspirations. The truly strong can see the rainbow from the thunder and lightning storm, and the great philosopher Bacon said: "Miracles are often born in bad luck." ”
Success is the result of the pursuit of struggle, but success is not necessarily under the halo of brilliance, but more in the sparse lights. One autumn evening, the ancient Greek philosopher Thales was walking on his way home looking up at the clear starry sky and thinking. Unexpectedly, he stepped on the air and fell into a deep pit on the side of the road, because the pit was too deep for him to climb out of himself, so he had to wait and shout for help. And when the passers-by pulled him out of the pit, the first thing Thales said after enduring the pain was "It will rain tomorrow", and the passers-by laughed and sneered after hearing it: "You can't even do the underground road, what day are you studying?"
At that time, Thales was already a great astrometeorologist, but many of his ideas were not accepted by any one era. But the next day, it really rained heavily, and two thousand years later, the German scientist Hegel heard the story and said a famous sentence: "Only those who lie in the pit forever and never look up at the sky will not fall into the pit."
The song of scientific struggle is not poetic, many amazing discoveries, great ideas are flowers that bloom with difficulty in the thorn bushes. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The first monkey to stand up will be bitten to death by his companions, creative things, often because he is different from the old things that people are used to, and are ostracized, suppressed or even temporarily strangled, but finally more monkeys stand up, and those monkeys who bite their companions to death are forever crawling in the ground." ”
The gold grains of success are filtered from the failure of Shashuo, the flash of truth will appear brighter in the background of fallacy, at the entrance of science is like the entrance to hell, the road to success is always bumpy and difficult, almost all the inventions and creations of human beings have experienced countless pains and failures to achieve, many successful people, there is an experience of crawling in the dark, they are sometimes lonely, like a tenacious snail squirming on the path of sheep's intestines, but they finally see the light, and from a darkness where there is no hope, give birth to success and a new era, the great scientist Newton told us"Winners tend to succeed by holding on to the last five minutes. ”
Every striver aspires to succeed, but not everyone can succeed. It is possible to fail if you struggle, but you will never succeed if you don't struggle. Failure and success are mixed, pain and joy coexist, this is the universal truth, former US President Abraham Lincoln once said: "I thought about success, I thought about failure, but I never thought of giving up." "The key to success is to believe in yourself and give it a try. In a sense, running aground is not necessarily a warrior, and failure is not necessarily a hero.
In our life's struggles, failures happen all the time. The ancients said, "Failure is the mother of success." Astronomer Kepler said: "Failure is the beginning on the road to a brilliant fantasy" to greet failure with a smile, to meet the Γ of a certain sun, to the of the rose straw, the waterlogging, the jealous φ Every failure is a footprint leading to success, every wrong discovery, will lead us to the right path, there is no mountain in the world that cannot be passed, some are only temporary setbacks and failures, but as long as we dare to persist and have the courage to sum up the lessons, the success of the road monument will show us how to take a step, if you can be strong as a seed, then continue to struggle is the vast fertile soil for its growth, Edison said: " The most obvious sign of great people is that they all have a strong will, and no matter how much the circumstances change, their original intentions and hopes will not change in the slightest. ” The American educator Helen once said, "When a person feels a force pushing you to soar, you should never crawl." The famous British writer Charles Dickens once famously said: "Tenacious perseverance can conquer any mountain in the world." ”
