Golden cicadas first live underground for three to five years, growing in the dark, relying on the sap of trees, flowers and grasses to maintain their lives.
On a sweltering summer night, the golden cicada desperately dug a hole, dug out an exit, and then climbed into a tree and transformed into a cicada. In the moment when the sun is shining, it flaps its wings, takes off and chirps against the sun, and gets a new life.
This is the famous golden cicada law.
Life has hit us hard, but we have to smile and sing along the way. However, how many people, who only like the sun and warmth, resist the wetness and coldness and darkness; envy the people on the stage, but are unwilling to accept the cruelty off the stage; covet the light of gold, but are not afraid of the pain of polishing gold.
If a person is very powerful, it is not because he has special functions, not because he is particularly lucky, but because he is like a golden cicada, especially able to bear hardships, and has learned to be silent, never crying bitterness. Hide the scars on your body, show your beautiful smile, and everything in your life will be laughed at.

Dark moments, slowly tormented, as long as there is light in the heart, there must be light in life.
Speaking of Napoleon, we all admire his military prowess. He founded the French Empire and became a big figure in the world's attention.
However, Napoleon's success was not so simple. His growth process is particularly "shabby".
He was born into a very ordinary family and was very introverted. At the age of 10, he was sent to a military academy in eastern France for further studies. Most of the students there are children of wealthy families and like to bully new students.
After being bullied many times by his classmates, he wrote to his father: "Do you want me to endure in front of these rich and arrogant people?" ”
My father wrote back: "Because your family is poor, you can only insist." ”
In this way, he wore worn-out clothes and stayed at the Academy for five years, and was later admitted to the Royal Military Academy.
At school, it was found that Napoleon's notes were more than 400 pages, and the map in his hand was full of various symbols, which were worth noting, and he had carefully calculated and was able to accurately judge the "pros and cons of the battle".
Hegel praised him this way: "The world is balanced because of the existence of God, and the balance of the scales of Europe is because of Napoleon, and Napoleon is the existence of God." ”
No one can let a man who clings to ideals fall halfway down, even in the dark night, can not bury his direction.
There is a light in a person's heart, brighter than the street lamp overhead, the flashlight in his hand, the moon in the sky. In order to protect this beam of light, it is necessary to fight against the darkness over and over again.
We all say, "Persistence is success." "However, in a harsh environment, how to persist, this is not a joke, nor is it as simple as a sentence."
How much suffering a person once was able to endure, how much happiness he could enjoy later. Suffering and pleasure can be maintained in relative balance.
What's more, after a lifetime of suffering, just to be able to shine for a moment at the end, like a "flash in the pan" as wonderful and magnificent.
Therefore, powerful people are all boiled out. Like a cicada underground, he experienced countless unknown days, forcing him to develop the habit of bearing hardships and standing hard work and forbearing again and again.

The quieter the life, the easier it is to succeed.
I've seen the saying, "Really rich people, in places you don't know." ”
Most people think that the rich people are the people on the rich list. In fact, the rich who can be famous are only the "tip of the iceberg" in the circle of the rich.
Where you can't see, there are a lot of rich people, they dress very plainly, they talk very low-key, and the work they do is very humble, and you don't even look at it.
First, we have to figure out what "wealth" is. Money is one of the most important assets, but not the only one. The person who can always be rich is that the heart and wealth are getting better at the same time.
In Sansha, Xiapu, Fujian Province, there is a woman named Huang Mei, who has been opening a breakfast restaurant since she married her husband. They get up early in the morning every day, rain or shine.
In a flash, more than 30 years have passed, and they have grown old, but love is still as good as ever. She said: "Nothing, love depends on feelings." ”
No matter how busy she is, Huang Mei must make up for herself and face customers with the best smile. Maybe she wants to dress up beautifully and show it to her husband.
There are countless people living at the bottom of society. But we can't say they're poor. Money, feelings, family, dreams, these things add up and can make you feel happy, then you are rich.
The ancients said: "Without accumulating steps, it is impossible to go thousands of miles, and it is impossible to become a river and a sea without accumulating small streams." ”
When the golden cicadas break through, they do not make a high profile, but choose the moment at night. Because they know that at this time, they are still very "tender" and have no way to resist opponents with strong damage.
Aren't those who can really succeed also "muffled forward"? This is also the trick to the survival of the golden cicada.
A person has just discovered an opportunity, his career has just started, he expects to get rich overnight, and he will definitely fail on the rich list.
Powerful people, from ignorance to wisdom, from the beginning to the top, are very quiet, even if they are wrapped in money, they will not float, they are still very poor.

Encounter bottlenecks, gradually exert strength, dare to start over, and usher in the transformation of life.
On the road of life, how many bottlenecks will be encountered, and even fall from high places and return to low points.
There is a saying in the countryside: "If you don't die, you have to shed a layer of skin." ”
A person in the most bitter time, life disasters continue, do anything, will encounter strong resistance. At this point, many people will choose to give up.
People who can persevere to the end often have to go through several times of pushing and restarting. It's like a golden cicada shedding its shell and allowing yourself to completely change your image.
Golden cicadas are not born with wings, but only after metamorphosis, they see wings. If it is afraid of the pain of metamorphosis, it can only remain a larvae, and life is meaningless.
As a person, the scars on your body are your wings.
A teacher said to a child who was born without hands, "Don't be afraid, your hands are gone, it's because the angel gave you a pair of wings to make you different." ”
If you want to succeed, then you have to make good use of everything you have. People who have no hands can use their feet, and those who have no hands and feet can use their brains, their hearts, their eyes, noses, and ears; those who cannot speak can make eye contact.
God will never let a man be cornered, unless he is afraid of the pain of metamorphosis, and at a critical time, he withdraws.

There was a rich man who said: "Today is cruel, tomorrow is more cruel, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful." But many people, who survived today and tomorrow, gave up before the sun rose the day after tomorrow. ”
No matter how difficult the moment is, get through it, get through it, and you win.
No one tells you what will happen in the next moment, but you have to believe that tomorrow will be better.
Seedlings that grow in the greenhouse will be dizzy by the sun, and seedlings that grow in the wind and rain will smile at the sun.
We must understand that what transforms people's lives is not sunlight, but darkness.
Sunlight is the direction, darkness is growth.
