In the long journey of life, some people travel lightly and walk like flying, and some people form groups of three or five, walking as a car, supporting each other to move forward. And when we examine it carefully, we find that the farthest on this journey of life are not those who travel alone, but those who travel together.

It is important to know that a person's life is not a 100-meter sprint, but a marathon with no end. Therefore, it is not the speed at which a person moves forward that determines his life, but the farthest point he reaches in his life. However, life is by no means easy, just like obstacle races, the quality of performance depends on the obstacle crossing rather than the sprint on the flat ground, life is similar, but not necessarily - because many obstacles cannot be crossed by one person. Therefore, in order to reach the farthest end, it should be a natural choice to go together.

Walking together is the mutual complement of each individual's weaknesses and the common play of strengths. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is a genius, but on the road to Facebook, he initially believed in going it alone, but he struggled to do so, because even though he was a genius programmer, he could not take on business responsibilities, and it was his cooperation with his partners that created today's thriving social network. One person may be a genius, but one cannot be an all-rounder who is impeccable in every way. On the contrary, any big undertaking requires all-round talents who can cope with a thousand changing situations. Therefore, people need to go together and make up for each other's advantages, which is the connotation of the so-called "one hero and three gangs". Most of life's challenges require more than going it alone or sprinting alone, and we should learn from the fact that we should learn from the fact that we are proud of our talents, like Zuckerberg, who is still walking the path of creating Facebook with his peers.

Walking together is a spiritual mutual support and support. This may not be noticed, but there will always be failures, setbacks and even disasters along the way. Those who go on the road alone will have no one to rely on when the blow strikes suddenly, and pain, suffering, and despair come one after another, so too many of them fall suddenly. However, those who travel together can get through the difficulties together with the support and care of each other. During the Wenchuan earthquake, several middle school students were buried in the dark, almost in despair. But they support each other, soothe each other with songs, illuminate the darkness with the light of their mobile phones, and finally survive the ruins. Although it is not their choice to go together or alone, it is enough to remind us that in the midst of adversity, the spirit of a single person is small and fragile, and those who walk together become extremely strong with each other's support. Eventually, they were able to get out of the adversity together and continue to carry on with them. When we think that our companions are stumbling and always want to go fast, please realize that the road of life is far from being so smooth. Human beings have come to this day with the companionship of the flood era, which is enough to enlighten us - those who walk together are not profitable, but thousands of miles.

2. The farthest road belongs to the lonely soul

"If you want to go far, go together. Seeing this sentence, I remembered Xu Xiake. Once, because he insisted on climbing the most dangerous Lotus Peak in Huashan, he said goodbye to the guide who dissuaded him, and walked the farthest road alone, leaving the world with a lonely but proud back. He seemed to be telling me: If your path is really long, go alone, and the farthest road belongs to the lonely soul.

Those who want to embark on the farthest road are often those who are lonely in soul. Their dreams are either maverick or great friendless, which determines that their journey is far beyond most of the companions they can find, and behind this dream is their understanding and love for the world that is different. They can perceive things that others cannot: Xu Xiake, for example, who perceives the passion of life in the scenery at the ends of the earth, and Van Gogh, who saw the hope and love in the sunflowers and wheat fields, was incomprehensible to the art critics of the time.

Feeling untouchable is the essence of soul loneliness, and it is also the motivation for them to embark on the "farthest" road to pursue their dreams, and the most important thing for these lonely souls to complete this road is to keep their loneliness.

Individuals have an innate dependence on the group and will subconsciously think that staying in the group is a guarantee of safety. Why do some people say, "If you want to go far, you must walk together"? Because groups can work together to overcome difficulties and protect individuals from hardships and dangers that they cannot overcome on their own. However, the road of the group will not be too far, and the vast majority of people will stop after realizing the meaning of life that they can perceive: to gain wealth, to gain status, to be recognized by society"" like Edward, one of the founders of the social network "Facebook", who wanted to sell the company to a big website when it was worth tens of millions. He is the "majority" who stops "at the point". He couldn't understand the lonely dream of another founder, Zuckerberg, to change the world. If you integrate into the group from the beginning with this idea, I am afraid that at this time you can only "stop" - because you have become dependent on the group, you cannot face loneliness, you can go through the danger alone, and the fear of life alone can easily crush you. A person who wants to escape hardships with the help of collective strength is that you have betrayed your loneliness from the beginning, and since then, you have lost the ability to be alone. The farthest path belongs to lonely souls – not only to be born lonely, but to keep to be lonely. Why worry about losing the protection of the collective? After a few struggles alone, you will find that the hardships are nothing more than that. When a person faces the road and setbacks, success and failure are not so terrible. Only in this way can you keep your loneliness, stay with him for a long time, and persevere on the distant journey that belongs to your soul and destiny. Eventually, you will come to the end of your own person, realize the unique value determined by your unique cognition, and perhaps you will leave a back to the world, which is the reward of the soul. Go on the road alone, the farthest road belongs to the lonely soul.

4. Thinkers and revolutionaries

"If you want to go fast, go alone" refers to the thinkers who stand at the forefront of humanity and the times. By virtue of the height and depth of their thoughts, they are walking in an unknown territory that is faster than people and ahead of the times, but because of this, they also endure the dilemma of no one paying attention to them and the loneliness of walking alone. "If you want to go far, go together" is about those revolutionaries who stand among the people, unite the people, and follow the trajectory of history to victory.

Standing in the middle of the masses, they raised their arms and shouted, and the scattered rabble instantly gathered into an iron fist, declaring war on all unequal systems, mighty and invincible, turning the eternal wheel of history.

The fast man is always lonely, and the thinkers, who have opened up the distant future before the others, have not been able to hear their call because of this distance. Standing in the middle of the paradise, they shouted hoarsely, forgetting that they were getting farther and farther away from the crowd. Their footprints are irreplaceable contributions to history, but they are inevitably accompanied by bleak loneliness: the fault of modern China is that too many thinkers have led the revolution and failed to have their voices heard. Those intellectuals of the Republic of China mentioned "democratic republic" and "salvation and survival," which was not one set of ideological theories with profound charm after another, but these theories could not convince the illiterate warlords and villagers, and the fight was no more than the corrupt officials and corrupt officials with thick bureaucracy, and many of them had made a study that was difficult for us to achieve today, but they could not adapt to the backwardness of this country, thus bringing about changes and improvements. They say that this is the inferior nature of the nation. But what nation did not start out with ignorance? In fact, this is just the doomed loneliness of the thinker.

If we want the nation to go further and move towards eternity, we need to unite the people, and that is why we need revolutionaries: a real revolution is not a flight, but a trek. It is not a lofty mansion built up of ideals and dreams, but a down-to-earth and arduous construction work. Therefore, I admire revolutionaries more than thinkers: in the face of the bright ideal of building a better society, we are not in a hurry to advance, but are rooted in the local people, rooted in the broad masses of the people, like the wrestler in the ancient myth, pushing the wheel of history to move forward slowly, but in the end, in the company of him and his people, the development of history, the rise and fall of the nation, to a farther and brighter place: unification The independent People's Republic of China has benefited precisely from this; so is the lion of France; even in modern times, when the flames of revolutionary war have passed, when thinking about the development and prosperity of a country and its people, it has the courage to shake off impetuous and empty talk, let socialism return to the "primary stage," and carry out reform and opening up in a down-to-earth manner is nothing more than adhering to the spirit of hard work based on the people and historical conditions to achieve brilliant achievements.
