The whole wisdom of mankind is contained in these five words: waiting and hope
As the best work of popular fiction, this book has too many praises. The famous writer Yu Hua said that if you don't eat, drink or sleep, you must read it in one breath. Compared to other great works (such as war and equality), it is indeed much easier to read. There are fewer characters and side lines, and it is relatively easy to sort out the relationship between the characters.
You can read this as a cool text, a person who has suffered misfortune suddenly has a goldfinger (with the wealth of a rich country), so he embarks on the road of revenge, and eventually his enemies die, one is crazy, and one is poor from then on.
But if you just read it as a cool text, it is really a pity and a waste.
The key factor in the success of Don Dyce's revenge is definitely not the ability to pay money, he has experienced 14 years of inhuman tribulations in the dark dungeon, and the impact of his tribulations far exceeds that of his great wealth.
How to spend the low period of life, you may wish to learn from Don Daisy. In fact, you're much luckier than dondais anyway.
Good at learning and continuous learning
Don Dies has 3 identities at the beginning of his revenge. They are the Priest, Lord Weimar, and the Count of Monte Cristo. This is due to the fact that DonDais can say that he can speak authentically and Chinese, and he is proficient in chemistry, swordplay, equestrianism and so on. There is also a very in-depth study of the history and philosophy of the East and the West. As for the control and use of rules, it is simply genius.
Was it suffering and misfortune that awakened his talent? No, there are many people in the trough. However, there are very few who can counterattack, and most of them choose to continue to sink.
In the long 14-year dungeon career, from the initial complaints and the desire to give up. After Dondais became acquainted with Elder Faria, the door of wisdom opened.
Elder Faria said: Human knowledge is actually very limited, and after I taught you mathematics, physics, history, and several modern languages that I will speak, you know as much as I know.
It is written in the book that a year later, he became a different person.
I can't help but think of two scholars I like in China. The first is Yu Qiuyu, who also wrote that in an attic in the northeast corner of Shanghai, he read many national classics and philosophies, and 7 years later, when he went downstairs, he felt that he had become a different person. There is also Deng Xiaomang, a famous Chinese philosopher and the first Chinese translator of Kant. In 1964, he went to the countryside and returned to the city in 1974 as a temporary worker and porter. After ten years of hard study of philosophy, he waited until 1979 to resume the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Department of Philosophy of Wuhan University. (If you read philosophy, especially German philosophy, Deng Gong you absolutely cannot bypass)
It was learning that changed the trajectory of Dondys' life. In the dark dungeon, it was the constant learning that gave him hope and a faint light!
Stop complaining
After reading the whole book, I didn't seem to see any complaints from Dondys. He had every reason to complain. Fate was so unfair to him. He experienced his father starving to death, his fiancée remarrying someone else, and himself in prison.
But he said: There is no happiness or misfortune in this world, there is only a comparison between one situation and another, and that is all.
And he said to Morrel: Are you so proud to show off your pain because you are too weak? He went on to say that everyone always thought they were more unfortunate than the other person around them who was crying and moaning.
When I was teaching my son a prenatal reading analects last year, I read a similar but more wonderful sentence.
Confucius said: Poor without complaint, rich but not arrogant.
This means that it is difficult for a person to be poor and not complain. Of course, poverty is not only the poverty of wealth, but also the poverty of thought and so on.
Can you stop complaining?
Locate the target
When I first entered the dungeon, I was faced with great and sudden misfortune. Dondys had thought about suicide, about hunger strikes. But when he figured out that the cause of his misfortune came from the trap of several people, he had a great desire to survive.
The book says that there is an emotion in his heart that has never been felt before, that is, revenge. He made up his mind, hardened his heart, and made a daunting vow.
Of course, this is only a plot need in a literary work. For us individuals, there is still a need for goals. What is the purpose of daily repetition and busyness?
We keep setting goals, overturning and standing. Why? Whether we can be determined or not, but very ambitious.
If your goal is a multimillionaire, try to make money, even if you sharpen your head without folding the means. If your goal is to get on top of people, then try to climb up, and whoever gets in the way and steps on it will be finished.
Recognize your nobles
The root cause of Don Dais's misfortune lies in the inhuman encounters. At the age of 19, he really can't tell who is a human or a ghost.
Even after this misfortune, he was still shocked and asked, is this a world of tigers and crocodiles? When Elder Faria replied, yes, the difference was only that two-legged tigers and crocodiles were more dangerous than other beasts.
Will those who smile be your friends? Will they really lend you a helping hand instead of stepping on you when you're in trouble? And when they tell you how to make money on this project and how to get rich, do they really want to pull you, or do they want to cut you with a scythe? Can you judge and recognize?
Ask yourself, if you're in the same situation as DonDais, can you still trust people? Even if you have a chance to escape, is it possible for you to give up the escape and choose to continue with Elder Fabia, waiting for the next opportunity to come again?
In fact, this is the most precious and shiny quality in DonDais! In this way, there was a later desperate encounter.
Write the words at the back
Whether you're looking for a way to open the door to wisdom or a great novel to pass the time. <基督山伯爵>It can be called a book that must be read.
In fact, in later generations, too many novels were affected. For example<肖申克的救赎>, , <了不起的盖茨比>etc., as well as popular film and television dramas in recent years<琅琊榜>.
You must not simply assume that the success of the Count of Monte Cristo's revenge was due to his wealth.
We only need Baidu to go bankrupt after winning the lottery to know that there are many such cases. Even if I had traveled back to 1998, Papa Ma would have had a meeting, and it would have been impossible to call me...
Finding meaning in life from classic literature, to construct the wisdom of living and living better, is more or less the power of reading.
