2024/1/2 Positively influencing and guiding others

In my dealings with all kinds of people, I have always believed that interacting with motivated people can provide a powerful impetus for personal growth. On the other hand, over-exposure to people who are not motivated and content with the status quo will only have a negative impact on me, making me feel drained of energy and even physically and mentally exhausted. Whenever I devote my limited attention to them, even for just an hour or two, it makes me feel like a huge waste of my own accumulation.

I am deeply concerned about the way of life of such people. They seem to devote most of their time to games, short videos, small talk, aimless lounging, and complaining. They are content with their current state, lack the willingness to learn and improve themselves, and have relatively weak emotional management skills. They are dependent on others for their livelihood, parasitic on their bosses, parents, wives or children, and are only satisfied with their current standard of living, ignoring the feelings of their families. Due to their lack of dedication and motivation to work, their abilities cannot be improved, and their income can only make ends meet. Predictably, in a few years, their living conditions may still not change much.

They lack care about their own affairs; There is also a lack of care for the family. However, they are well aware of the global situation and are also interested in topics such as mystical spirituality and enlightenment. When they got home, they lay down in bed and continued to play with their mobile phones, and when they were tired of playing, they ate something to take a break.

I admit that I don't have much ambition and understanding, and my goal is to do one thing to the best in order to support my family and help my friends, while maintaining my physical health and willingness to study. I'm not interested in gossip news or other people's private lives, and I don't have any advanced morality. I know that I can only take care of my family, career, body and friends, and I can only do my daily business.

I have always believed that "the Tao is drowning in shit", and that there is a Tao in even the lowest things. For me, the things in front of me, the things at hand, are the dojo of cultivation. The purpose of my cultivation is to verify my knowledge, to provide for my family, and to take care of those who care about me.

Compared to those who are content with the status quo, my lifestyle and values are completely different. I know that life is short and time is too precious to be wasted on meaningless things. Therefore, I always maintain a positive attitude and constantly strive to improve my abilities and qualities. In my dealings with them, I always kept a clear head and was not affected by their negativity. I know that only through my own efforts and struggles can I achieve my goals and dreams.

I know that the meaning of life is to grow and improve. Therefore, I always make learning and growing my top priority. I am constantly learning new knowledge and skills to improve my professional quality and comprehensive quality. At the same time, I also focus on self-reflection and improvement, and constantly improve my personality and behavior. I believe that only by constantly growing and improving can we become a better version of ourselves.

In addition, I also focus on the importance of interpersonal relationships. I know that relationships are one of the most important factors in personal growth. Therefore, I always actively build good relationships with others, respect their opinions and ideas, and care about their needs and feelings. In my dealings with others, I always maintain a sincere and kind attitude, and do my best to help others. I believe that through good interaction with others, we can grow and progress together.

In closing, I would like to say that everyone has their own life trajectory and values. We can't force others to be like ourselves, but we can positively influence and guide others. Only through positive actions and words can more people realize their own value and ability, and stimulate their enthusiasm and creativity. Let's work together to become a better version of ourselves.
