Tang Ruoxin learns original works, and those who violate them will be investigated
Once upon a time there was a man named Yu Gong, who was almost 90 years old and lived directly opposite the mountain. Suffering from the obstruction in the northern part of the mountainous area, he had to take a detour when he came out and entered, so he summoned the whole family to discuss: "I want to dig up the big mountain in front of our house, so that the road can lead all the way to the south of Yuzhou and to the south bank of the Han River, okay?" "Everyone agreed.
His wife questioned, "With your strength, even the hill of Father Kui cannot be flattened, so what about Taihang and Wangwu?"
Hequ's Zhi Shu ridiculed Yu Gong and stopped him from doing this, saying, "You are so stupid! With the remaining years and the remaining strength, you can't even move a single grass on the mountain, what about the dirt and stones? ”
Beishan Yugong sighed and said, "Your mind is really stubborn, so stubborn that you can't open up the trick, even the orphans and widows can't compare." Even if I die, there is still a son; the son gives birth to a grandson, and the grandson gives birth to a son; the son has a son, and the son has a grandson; the children and grandchildren are endless, but the mountain will not increase in height and increase, and are you afraid of digging unevenly? He Qu Zhisuo had no words to answer.
The mountain god heard about this, afraid that he would dig up endlessly and report it to the Heavenly Emperor. The Emperor of Heaven was touched by the sincerity of Yu Gong and ordered the two sons of the Hercules Quao'e clan to carry away the two mountains, and from this time on, the southern part of Jizhou to the south bank of the Han River, there was no longer a high mountain barrier.
From the story of Yu Gong, we can see that the really intelligent person, in a certain way, is actually not a person who takes shortcuts, but knows how to insist on stupidity, in exchange for greater success.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" >01 Smart people never take shortcuts </h1>
Are there shortcuts in this world, in fact, there really are not many shortcuts. Everyone's growth must be through endless efforts in exchange for real growth.
Smart people do not take shortcuts, because they come from their understanding of the nature of the world, and even more from their discovery of the world. If you want to be what kind of person you want to be, please remember to do it steadily, only when you continue to do it, your influence can be greater.
The root of not taking shortcuts is the estimation of the difficulty of accomplishing a thing. In fact, many people do not know enough about the nature of life, or lack a certain understanding of the difficulty of life.
Because we don't know enough about the difficulty, once we try to do something that doesn't achieve our expectations, we give up.
True growth is to be a long-termist, and when you become a long-termist, you will be stable and do the things in the present.
The Fool looked stupid, but in fact he was a very wise man who engraved his dreams not only on himself, but also on his descendants.
When we insist on passing on our dreams, your dreams will become a legendary driving force, leading others to work hard.
So a great person is first of all a long-termist, and this long-termist will know how to look at his behavior in the long run and understand the meaning of his current behavior.
If we can't be a long-termist, we can't really do something. Only by becoming a long-termist can you examine the meaning and value of your actions in the moment.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" >02 Learn slow is fast </h1>
Time is the biggest cost, and time is also the greatest value. To learn to be slow is to be fast, and in a way to be content with the present.
Any grand dream comes from the efforts of the moment, in the growth stage of life, learning to be slow is fast, but also the foundation of consolidating our foundation.
If we pursue fast too much, it is not necessarily the best, because in the process of pursuing fast, many things have not been understood, and slow is fast is a way to see how the path of dreams is interpreted in the current practice.
Slow is fast or a state of growth, in fact, many people are accustomed to using fast not to do things, but to use fast to prove themselves.
When you want to prove yourself, this kind of fastness does not allow you to achieve real achievements, but will drag you into a state of exhaustion.
And learning to be slow is fast, in essence, is to do a good job in their own foundation and fundamentals, without the foundation and fundamental solidity, you want to be fast is not fast.
Just like a writer, I can't do anything without the accumulation of life, and this kind of fastness is the accumulation of a source of life.
The same dancer without continuous effort and practice in the early stage, then it is difficult for her to dance on stage in a moving and ostentatious dance posture.
True growth is a process of letting go of self-proof, self-expression, and instead focusing on integrating one's own heart and then doing one's own thing well and continuing to experience oneself.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" >03 Whether what you're doing is good for generations to come</h1>
What kind of person you want to be, you have to treat yourself. The reason why Yu Gong was able to touch the gods and immortals in the heavens was also due to the willpower of his life, and even more from whether what he did was conducive to helping others.
A lot of people will say that this is a myth, and the reality is so good. But in fact, although there are no gods in reality, there are nobles in reality, and if you insist on one thing and have value, your behavior allows more noble people to help themselves.
There is a saying that if you know where you are going, even the gods will make way for you. The higher life comes from us
If we want to achieve something, the most fundamental thing is to learn to continue to experience your life, and when you know how to train your life, your influence will become more and more.
So life needs to continue to train yourself, and in essence, you have to think about whether what you are doing is good for generations to come.
The reason why Yu Gong was able to do this was, in essence, that he was able to help countless people get out of the mountains and see a bigger scenery.
What he did was not only for himself, but also for the sake of future generations. If you understand the importance of doing this, you may understand that the fundamentals of learning to pass on are also to think about whether what you do is still valuable to future generations thousands of years later, and if so, what you need is to continue to persevere.
True long-termists have always known that life is a long-term evolutionary process, and by combining what you do with others, we can see a longer-term landscape and embrace a better life.
