The ancients said: "Mountains do not speak high, water does not speak deeply, and people do not speak of themselves." ”
People with real great wisdom can always cope with changes with the same, Ren'er southeast and northwest winds, I sit on the Diaoyutai steadily.
Those who are ignorant are always in a state of panic, and before everything has even begun, they are already in disarray.
Understanding the truth that "the heart is as quiet as water, and the person is as stable as a mountain", life will be much more relaxed.

The mind is as quiet as water, until it is soft.
Lao Tzu said, "The good is like water, and the water is good for all things without controversy, and the evil of all people is evil, so it is more than the Tao." ”
All things are thriving, and they are inseparable from water, but water never asks for anything in return, and the kindness of heart is evident.
In ancient times, Emperor Yao wanted to find someone who could take over the throne. Everyone elected Shun.
In order to test Shun, Emperor Yao married his daughter to him and observed his every word and deed. Later, it was found that when Shun was in Alexandria, everyone gave up good land to those who needed it; when he was in Leize, everyone gave up the good position of fishing to those who needed it; on the edge of the Yellow River, everyone worked together to process exquisite pottery. But the places where Fan Shun lived became peaceful villages and cities.
After Yao's death, Shun took his place.
The good heart can give everything to others, and it can also tolerate the ugliness of others, and if he insists on doing it, then he is a saint.
Confucius said: "Its flow is also under it, and its restraints must follow its reasoning, like righteousness, and its purification is not exhausted, like the Tao." ”
People's hearts are like water, so that they will not be angry. Just like water, when it encounters a high mountain, it turns and flows along the trough; when it encounters a, it slowly rises and spreads over; there is a city where sewage gathers, and it can also contain and purify... Along the way, nothing can stop the flowing water from returning to the sea.
What seems to be curved is the most upright; what seems invisible is the most courageous; what seems to be silent is the most powerful. If a man can do so, then he will not be afraid of any difficulties.
Mencius said: "The source is mixed, not willing to give up day and night, Yingke and then enter, let go of the world." ”
The key to why water can flow into the sea is that there is living water at the source, day and night.
As a person, if you can walk 100 meters at a time, then you can walk 10,000 meters and 10 million meters at a time.
There is a harsh saying: "Tired? Tired is right, comfort is reserved for the dead. ”
As long as people live, there is hope, when they are very tired, they actually encounter a threshold, as long as they hold on, they have passed, and their lives have turned around.
Life goes on and on and on. If your heart always thinks like this, then you will certainly have something to do, and no matter how big the wind and rain, it will not knock you down.
The writer Mader wrote in the article: "Anyone who can be quiet has little desire, little heart and eyes, and no great idea. Maybe God gave them a lot, but they cared very little. There is no joy in gaining, there is no sorrow in losing, they are more concerned about the simplicity and richness of the heart. ”
Everything in the world, only when it is quiet, can it appear thick and solid, which is the prelude to a person's outbreak, and the exuberance after the cold winter.

People are as stable as mountains, and sand is formed into towers.
There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching: "The wood of the embrace is born at the end of the millimeter; the platform of the nine layers begins from the tired soil; and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
What makes a person is never to get rich overnight and wave it, but to accumulate thick and thin.
If a person walks shakily, or casually pushes it down and starts over, then he will always have an unstable foundation and will not become a great instrument after all.
In the Shang Dynasty under the rule of the tyrant King Lu, the people were not happy, and everyone gritted their teeth and hoped to see him step down. King Wu of Zhou formed a team to confront the King of Shang.
How to win in one fell swoop? King Wu of Zhou sent someone to inquire about the King of Shang.
The spies responded: "There is chaos in Yin Shang, and there are more evil people than good people." ”
King Wu of Zhou said, "Then wait a little longer." ”
The spies also reported: "The wise people have all escaped from Yin Shang." ”
King Wu of Zhou said, "Don't worry, wait a minute. ”
The spies reported again: "The people of Yin Shang do not dare to complain anymore." ”
As a result, King Wu of Zhou launched the Battle of Muye, and King Shang set himself on fire in Lutai.
The old patriarch said, "Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, but it is not that the time has not yet come." ”
Instead of looking for an exit in a panic, it is better to wait and make the exit more obvious and the opportunity more mature.
But anyone who can grasp the overall situation will not be in a hurry, he will definitely stabilize himself, grow himself, and control the ending.
A mountain, no matter how high, is made of sand and stones, and a house is built brick by brick. If the foundation is unstable, it will eventually be subverted.
Opportunities must be as mature as mountains; faith must be as stable as mountains; virtue must be as majestic as mountains; words must be as solid as mountains; so that a person can succeed in anything he wants to do.
On the other hand, if a person wants to destroy himself, then despite accumulating evil deeds, just like the King of Shang, he plays with fire and self-immolation.
There is a saying: "The mountain is high and man-made peak." ”
Really powerful people can not only build a mountain for themselves, but also stand on the top of the mountain and feel that they have a panoramic view of the mountains; they can also stand at the foot of the mountain and embrace the mountain in their arms; they can also stand on the mountainside and use the mountain as a backer.
In this life, people should not go fast, but walk steadily. As long as each step is effective, it will go farther and farther.

The ancients said: "The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the name; the water is not deep, and the dragon is the spirit." ”
The mind is as quiet as water, and people are as stable as mountains, which need depth and thickness, and even more need wisdom. Even if it is a delicate stream, it can flow calmly and can become a mirror surface; even if it is a small mountain bag, if it has aura, it can hide the dragon and the crouching tiger.
As the saying goes, he can bend and stretch his husband, and he is a true gentleman who does not bend his heart and turns.
In the "Zhuangzi Qiwu Theory", it is written: "Form and solidity can make it like a mallet, and the heart can make it like death and ashes?" ”
Those who want to achieve great things can achieve the state of self-forgetfulness, the world is impermanent, and the people's hearts are safe.
The world's major events seem to be very difficult, in fact, it is as easy as a palm, the key is whether you are stable.
