Life is too tiring and requires philosophical stories to adjust the mentality
In this fast-paced era, many urban white-collar workers live a busy work life every day, and often feel physically and mentally exhausted in the face of high-intensity pressure. When you find yourself overwhelmed by matters and trivial troubles, stop and find a philosophical story to read to calm your mind.
The ancients said: "Zhuge Liang is divided into three parts, and Liu Bowen dominates the country." When it comes to the name Liu Bowen, I believe many people are not unfamiliar with it. He was already a talent at the age of twelve, and at the age of twenty-three, he was a high school jinshi, which can be described as a prodigy.
However, he saw clearly the decay of the officialdom of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, and chose to resign from his official position, live in seclusion, and devote himself to studying and improving himself. Before helping Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty defeat the Yuan army and establish the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen wrote a book called "Yu Ion", which recorded his various life insights and philosophical reflections.
Among them, there are several fable-like stories, which contain particularly profound wisdom of life, which is worth reading when we are tired. These stories warn us that if we pursue too much, we will lose ourselves, that if we live an uncoordinated life, we will find it difficult to continue, and that clinging to perfection will only lead to trouble.
These seemingly simple life philosophies are exactly what we need to keep in mind the most in our busy lives.
It's like we often hear a saying: living too tired is because you get too much. After reading Liu Bowen's story, you will have some understanding: it turns out that the reason why we feel tired is because there are too many choices, the goal is too far, and we are unable to do it.
We need to re-examine the meaning of life and choose to go back to basic with a simple heart.
Some people say that if you read a book a hundred times, you will see its righteousness. Even if it is a short philosophical story, reading it repeatedly will give people a deeper understanding. When you encounter problems and struggles in your life, you may wish to take out these stories to read, which may help you open your mind and find the answers.
Liu Bowen's story is like a lamp, providing us with direction and guidance in life. When we are confused, the light of his wisdom will make us see clearly in front of us and start anew.
Friends, if you have been too tired lately, you might as well try to read Liu Bowen's philosophical stories, maybe you can get some comfort to your tired soul.
Chang Yang learns arrows: choosing simplicity is the goal of life
There was a man named Chang Yang who wanted to ask the dragon slayer Zhu for archery skills to enhance his skills. Who knew that Tu Longzi did not directly instruct him, but told a story about the king of Chu who went to Yunmeng to hunt.
On that day, the king of Chu led his ministers to Yunmeng Mountain to hunt and ordered people to drive down all the beasts in the mountain. When hordes of birds and beasts rushed down from the mountain, the king of Chu held a longbow in his hand, but he was at a loss and panicked - in the face of so many targets, he had no idea which prey to shoot first.
At this moment, a swan flew lightly by the neck of the King of Chu, almost hitting his vital point, and immediately startled the King of Chu.
After experiencing this hunting ground incident, an old minister sighed: "People are like an arrow, which can hit a single target with a hundred shots, but once there are too many choices in front of them, it is difficult to maintain the accuracy."
Through this story, Tulongzi wants to tell Chang Yang a truth: when a person gains too much, he will become hesitant and at a loss. When we pursue career, money, and status, we often aim too far and lose ourselves in the end.
In fact, the goal of life should not be, but to live a truly happy life, which is to choose a simple way, enjoy everything we love, not be greedy, not greedy, and learn to be content.
We can imagine that if the king of Chu had just gone for a walk in the mountains that day and did not have many goals, he would have been in an open mood and full of spirit. But once there are too many temptations in front of you, greed will prevail, and you will only be indecisive in your choice and lose your direction.
Liu Bowen warns us through this story that we are too tired to live because we get too much in life, but we don't know how to be satisfied. We need to regain our inner peace and live a simple and meaningful life.
Artisan shipbuilding: stop losses in time to avoid destruction
Once upon a time, there was a craftsman who was hired by the king of Yue to make warships for the Yue Kingdom. After his hard work, he finally built a number of sturdy and good ships, which were greatly rewarded by the king of Yue.
As a result of this success, the craftsman became a little arrogant, and he even told the king that he could not only build ships, but also drive ships.
Later, war broke out between the Yue and Chu states, and the craftsman was sent to the front line to drive a warship. However, he was not a trained sailor after all, and soon lost control in the stormy seas, and the entire ship capsized and sank, and the craftsman was killed in the belly of the fish.
The inspiration from this story is not to be overconfident and to do what you are not good at. The craftsman thought he could handle the ship, but he got into trouble. In life, we often have the experience of looking too far away and ignoring the foundation in front of us.
The right thing to do is to retreat in the face of difficulties and stop losses in time.
There is an old saying that is well said, "Don't persuade people with small words, don't bear the weight with small strength". It means that you should persuade others to be too strong, and don't carry the burden of not having enough strength to carry it.
It's like we often say, "Just one small mouth, you can change the whole world". Although the empty talk is good, the execution is far beyond the ability, and in the end, not only can you not achieve the goal, but you will also hurt yourself.
The wise man sees the subtleties and moves forward steadfastly. Each of us has our own expertise, and we don't have to be presumptuous, but we must also understand where our limits are, and don't be greedy.
Enough is enough, and small wins are big wins. If you realize that you are not capable of completing a task, you should stop your losses and change direction in time to avoid a devastating failure.
Through this parable, Liu Bowen reminds us not to take our minds lightly, to keep a clear head, and fully recognize our strengths and limitations, so that we can avoid risks in life and move forward safely.
Jinping Metric Piano: Life should pay attention to balance
Once upon a time, there was a monarch in the Jin Kingdom, named Jin Pinggong. He loved music, and one day when he was interested, he made a piano by himself. But when he tried to play, he found that the tone of each string of this piano was not harmonious, which made people feel very unpleasant.
It turned out that this was because Jin Pinggong made a mistake: he made each string to the same thickness, and a good piano must make different strings have different thicknesses, so that when playing, it can produce harmonious music with different heights.
This little story reminds us that it is important to pay attention to balance in life. Just as a good piano needs the right string thickness, our life needs to be coordinated and unified in all aspects in order to create a harmonious and beautiful life movement.
In today's highly competitive society, many people put all their energy into their careers, sacrificing their health, relationships, and even their families in order to succeed in the workplace.
However, if some aspects of our life are too unbalanced, like the strings of a piano all out of alignment, our lives can also become difficult and painful.
The smart thing to do is to focus on balancing all aspects of life. Work is important, but health, family, friends, hobbies can't be ignored either. Like a conductor, we should carefully arrange our own rhythm of life, so that our career, family, and interests can develop in harmony, so that we can work without distractions every day, and take care of our bodies, and go home at night to gather with our families, and occasionally go out for a walk...... If we are comfortable in all aspects, our lives will be like a harmonious and pleasant music.
Through this parable, Liu Bowen reminds us to cherish the balance of life, and not to pay too much for one aspect and ignore other elements. Only by harmonizing can we create a happy and satisfying life.
If you are willing to let go, you will succeed naturally
In the book "Yu Ion", Liu Bowen also expressed a point of view, that is, in life, we need to learn to be willing and let go, to maintain a balance between exertion and rest, and not to be demanding perfection.
He quoted the ancient adage that "there are times in life that must be had, and there are no times in life when there is no time to force it", which means that there is a suitable time for life things, and we should not force it. If a person is too obsessed with perfection and tries to do everything to the extreme, it will only exhaust himself.
We need to learn to take a step back and open the sky, let go of what we shouldn't give up, and stop loss and know how to advance.
There is a modern saying that says, "Those who are progressive get tired." Indeed, when we are pursuing progress and realizing our ideals, we will encounter all kinds of difficulties in the process, and we should take a proper rest at this time, otherwise we will only be exhausted.
Learning to stop and relax Xi and rejuvenate yourself is also a progress.
As the old saying goes, "Industry is good at diligence and frolic, and success is thought of and ruined". This sentence reminds us that it takes hard work to achieve a career, but we can't be too tired; Actions need to be deliberate, not arbitrary.
This embodies the dialectic of exertion and rest.
Liu Bowen believes that we should not insist on going our own way after paying hard for something, but we should understand the truth of what is appropriate. Give up what you shouldn't give up, learn to stop losses, and then naturally succeed, so that life will be more fulfilling and fulfilling.
This is also his life advice to future generations through "Yu Ion" - don't disrupt the rhythm of life in pursuit of perfection, grasp the balance between exertion and rest, and you can find a harmonious way of life.
Learn Xi Liu Bowen to adjust his life mentality
Through several fables in the book "Yu Ion", Liu Bowen exhorts tired people to learn to adjust their mentality and re-examine the meaning of life. We can also pick up this book and read it when life is too tired, and absorb wisdom.
These stories tell us not to choose too much and lose ourselves, but to know how to stop loss and let go, maintain balance in life and other simple but profound truths. They inspire us that in this fast-paced society, we need to learn to stop and think about the meaning of life, rather than just mechanically repeating work, family, and social affairs.
In fact, sometimes the root cause of our fatigue is not doing a good job of "gap management" of these affairs. If you can take a step back and think like Liu Bowen, you will find that there are still many beautiful things in life to cherish.
Listening to music, exercising, cooking, a good book with meaning, and a new sight from a trip can all make us feel empowered again.
Whenever you're feeling physically and mentally exhausted, find this book and dedicate yourself to these ancient wisdoms. I believe that Liu Bowen's indifferent and unfazed attitude towards life can infect you, let you relieve your fatigue and start again.
We come into this world, and we will eventually leave; All fame, fortune and hatred must be let go in the end. Life is too short, and we need to find inner happiness instead of working hard for external success.
Liu Bowen's wisdom reminds us to return to the essence of life and re-examine the meaning of life.
Friend, if you are experiencing the exhaustion of life recently, you must not be discouraged and lose your fighting spirit.
