In society, everyone starts from scratch and, after continuous additions, evolves into people with different statuses. There are a very small number of people who are rich enough to be enemies of the country and whose names remain in history, while most of them have harmonious families and achieve a beautiful and ordinary life. But there are still some people, busy and busy, but they have done nothing all their lives.
Society is in the midst of this constant change, distinguishing people of different traits. In fact, talent and family influence are important, but the hard work of their own acquired children occupies the decisive factor. In different groups of people, there are three kinds of people, people with upper roots, people with middle roots, and people with lower roots, and although their lives are the same, they are very different.
The one who has the upper roots is intelligent and enlightened
No matter what era, the people who have taken root are generally at the forefront of the times, able to make a difference in the chaotic world, and become superior people and scholars. This kind of person is not only intelligent in himself, but also knows how to understand the mystery between all things, and he can understand the problems at one point.
The sages of the ancient times, such as LaoZi, Confucius, and Oniguzi, were able to become world-famous thinkers not only because they themselves had a broad and profound knowledge of learning, but also because they continued to study and understand through shameless questioning, so as to refine their own doctrines. The self-contained school did not concede and be proud, but recruited apprentices and achieved the classics of Traditional Chinese Studies in continuous discussion.
When Confucius was young, his family was very poor, and there was no special private school teacher to grant him learning. However, he himself was able to learn widely and eagerly in a harsh environment, and put forward the wise saying that "the threesome must have my teacher". In the process of studying from the outside, Confucius realized a variety of different knowledge such as poetry, books, rituals, and music.
However, after he completed his studies, he did not stick to the rules and sit in the well and look at the sky, but instead put forward his own "Confucian" insights, and imparted knowledge to the people of the world, and finally achieved the sage Kong, which profoundly affected the development of Chinese civilization. Confucius, as the person with the upper roots, truly stood on the cusp of the times and had an important impact on the development of China and even the world.
People in the middle of the root, try to achieve something
From ancient times to the present, after all, the talented are a minority, and most of the people have mediocre qualifications and are generalists in society. But ordinary people can also rely on their own ability to turn their lives around and achieve a career.
"Perseverance and abandonment, decaying wood does not break; perseverance, gold and stone can be skeletonized." The only way for ordinary people to succeed is to live up to the word "hard work". Since childhood, we have heard of celebrity deeds such as "sac fluorescent snow", "head hanging beam, cone thorn stock", but no talent is not the original sin, if you do not understand the truth of diligence in your life, you will miss the opportunity and suffer a big loss.
During the Han Dynasty, Chen Pingxi's family was poor, and he and his brother were dependent on each other since childhood. In order to be able to honor his ancestors, he tried his best to read from an early age. But when the eldest brother got married, the eldest sister-in-law humiliated him several times, saying that he could not read anything famous. In the face of the difficulties of his sister-in-law, Chen Pingxi repeatedly endured, and finally got the opportunity to worship the university as a teacher, and after completing his studies, he assisted Liu Bang to achieve hegemony and became a famous minister of the Han Dynasty.
The one who takes the root, wastes time
"Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much, I am born to wait for tomorrow, everything is in a hurry", many things in the world can rely on their own efforts to fight, but only time will not be recovered. Life is only once, time never looks back, walking around, doing nothing will eventually waste life and waste a good time.
In life, the story of how many prodigal sons turn back to gold makes people sigh, and how many talented teenagers who squander their lives are regrettable. Treating oneself with no idea about one's future, living a life of sloppiness every day, no matter how talented one is, sooner or later will become numb. Even if you have a good family foundation, if you just be a wandering brother, the whole is idle, delicious and lazy, such a family will definitely fall to the end and be overtaken by people with lofty ideals.
In ancient times, there was a prodigy Fang Zhongyong in Jinxi, although the family was born of a commoner, he could read and write from the age of four, export into chapters, so he became a well-known small literati in the township, but the extremely talented Fang Zhongyong was taken around by his father to show off after he became famous, thus delaying his study, and when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he could no longer write decent verses. It can be seen that talent must not determine everything, grasp the time well, diligent study and hard work can create the future.
brief summary
People who are rooted in, middle, or lower roots survive in this society. But people who know how to cherish time and work hard can become the object of envy of others and stand out from the crowd. It seems that there is only a small difference in life, but in the accumulation of each day, it will usher in earth-shaking changes.
Living in the present, we should not always complain about the world, open our eyes to see the way of excellent people, in order to get rid of numbness and grow upwards, usher in their own sunshine.
