There is a realm, to see far
The realm includes a person's pattern and vision, the higher the realm, the farther you see.
The realm is high, as if a person stands taller than others, and naturally can see far!
I've seen this fable:
The crow stood in the tree and did nothing all day, and when the rabbit saw the crow, he asked, "Can I be like you and not have to do anything all day?"
The crow said: Of course, what can't be done?
So the rabbit began to rest in the clearing under the tree, and suddenly a fox appeared, and it jumped up and grabbed the rabbit and swallowed it.
Although the story is very old-fashioned, few people ask: Why are rabbits eaten? Is it because it stands tall?
The answer is beyond doubt because the crow stands taller than it! This is probably what we often call the vision and realm!
Vision determines the realm, and vision is the premise of the realm.
"Yelang is arrogant" is because the lofty mountains and mountains obstruct the vision of the Yelang monarch, and he does not know the vastness of han outside the Cong Mountain.
The frog at the bottom of the well can only see the sky as big as the wellhead, and naturally cannot appreciate the taste of the bird's thirst.
Professor Hawking, a well-known professor at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 1963 and has been confined to a wheelchair for a long time since then.
However, he had a broad vision and an open mind, and his thoughts and vision traveled to the vast space-time, dedicated to solving the mysteries of the universe, becoming the greatest contemporary expert in general relativity and cosmology, and one of the great people with international reputation.
He most appreciated a line from Hamlet:
I can be locked in a walnut shell and think of myself as the king of infinite space.
He used this line as the title of his book and published the book "The Universe in the Fruit Shell". This reflects Professor Hawking's infinitely far-reaching and infinitely broad realm of time and space.
Vision, the pattern of the destiny of the heart; the pattern, the frame of the fate of life.
How wide the horizon is, how wide is the realm.
A person must not only have knowledge, but also have insight; those who are rare and strange are often the creators of troubles. See more, see through the problems, open the knots of the heart, be kind and considerate when encountering things, and release emotions.

There is a belly volume, you can see clearly
The ancients said:
The belly is like a treasury, the amount of blessings is immeasurable; the heavens are wide, and the earth is boundless.
A drop of ink falls in a glass of clear water, and the cup of water immediately changes color and cannot be drunk; a drop of ink melts into the sea, and the sea is still a blue sea.
Why? Because the belly volume of the two is not the same.
If anyone scolds us, we will be furious.
But when Wu Zetian saw King Luo Bin's crusade against his own text, instead of getting angry, he admired his literary talent, and she sighed:
Such talented people have wandered over there, and this is the fault of the prime minister!
After changing someone else, he had already inquired about the address of Luo Bin's family and sent someone to take his head.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the State of Shu appointed Jiang Huan to preside over the imperial government after Zhuge Liang's death. His subordinates had a man named Yang Ju, who had a solitary personality and was obsessed with words.
Jiang Huan spoke to him, and he only did not answer. Some people were not accustomed to it, and muttered in front of Jiang Huan:
Yang Xi this person is so sloppy to you, it is too unkind!
Jiang Huan smiled frankly and said:
People have their own temperament. Let Yang Ju say praise for me in person, that is not his nature; let him say in front of everyone that I am not, he will feel that I can't get off the stage.
Therefore, he had to be silent. Later, some people praised Jiang Huan as "able to hold a boat in the belly of the prime minister."
Blessed is blessed, and blessed is blessed with a large belly.
More tolerance leads to more trust and more happiness.

Cultivated, look down-to-earth
The ancients said: "Cultivate kung fu deeply, and a gentleman is self-sustaining." ”
The main manifestation of a person's cultivation is the ability to be self-sustaining, will properly control their emotions and behaviors, and will not be provoked by anxiety and adversity, discomfort and error, and will not be angry with others, resulting in the deterioration of interpersonal relationships.
Cultivation is the precipitation of living in the soul, and it is also the result of spiritual self-cultivation.
Only by looking down on everything can we be self-sustaining, moderate, and become a cultivated person.
If you look lightly, you will not force others to understand, drink wine every time you know yourself, and chant poetry to people, and you don't have to bend your waist for five buckets of rice.
See lightly, do something, do something, see half open, drink slightly drunk, blame yourself with the heart of blame, and forgive others with the heart of forgiveness.
Look lightly, sing to the wine, life is geometric, when you drink, you must drink, you have to sing high and sing.
