Adversity is not enough to worry about.

"Kindergarten Qionglin" said: The sound of firecrackers removes the old year, and the peach charm welcomes the New Year.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the Year of the Dragon has arrived.
Looking back on the past year, we have all experienced too much, we have experienced the spring breeze in good times, and we have also tasted the gloomy loss in low times.
But no matter what happened, the moment the New Year's bell rang, everything in the past came to an end.
All the past is prologue, and all the future is promising.
In the new year, may you always be self-disciplined, self-reflective, willing to be self-reliant, and live the life you want as you wish.

Self-discipline when it is prosperous
Mr. Fu Lei once wrote: "A person is too smooth, it is easy to get carried away unconsciously." ”
People who are in good times tend to be complacent because of a little achievement, and eventually slack off in all kinds of excitement and hustle and bustle.
When you relax your requirements for yourself, no matter how strong your ability is, it will slowly fall into disuse over time.
So the more prosperous the place, the more self-disciplined.
Maintain restraint and vigilance, and avoid indulging in comfort and enjoyment, so that you can continue to grow.
In 2008, Mai Jia won the 7th Mao Dun Literature Award for "Secret Calculation".
For a time, he was in the limelight and was sought after by countless readers and media.
Slowly, he began to get a little fluttery.
During those years, he often attended various occasions, held book signings, was invited to speak, and had greatly reduced the time for reading and writing.
In 2011, he completed the 300,000-word novel "The Tip of the Knife" in just three months.
As soon as the results book came out, it was questioned and criticized by the outside world.
This woke him up and reminded him that no matter what awards or honors he won, he should guard against arrogance and rashness and write steadfastly.
Since then, he has demanded that he write at least 500 words a day and read for no less than half an hour.
This habit, day after day, thunder and thunder persevered.
Eight years later, he released the novel "The Sea of Life", ushering in another peak of his writing career.
The writer Niemann said that a master who can achieve things, the more smooth sailing, the more cautious he is, and he will never get carried away.
Whatever you do, quit slacking off and stick with it day in and day out to make the next move.
Commentator Bai Yushuang became famous at a young age.
But no matter whether it is the dog days or the cold winter, she always goes to practice whenever she has time.
Someone asked her: You have become famous, why are you still practicing so hard?
She smiled and said: The play is endless.
Through years of practice, she pioneered the art of the White School and was known as the "Queen of Pingju".
Zhu Xi, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, said: If you don't work hard, your heart will become depressed, and if you don't discipline yourself, your heart will become unbridled.
If a person does not work hard and restrain himself, he will slowly decline in indulgence and eventually become a waster.
Maintain extreme self-discipline and keep pushing yourself, so that you can truly make a career and achieve something.
In the new year, don't slack off in good times and push yourself more.
Keep deepening, and every bit of your contribution will be transformed into surprises on the road of life.

Introspect when you're quiet
I've seen such a fable.
A group of people hurried along, and suddenly, a man stopped and hid to the side in contemplation.
The person next to him was very strange and asked him: why didn't you leave?
The man replied: Go too fast, the soul is left behind, I will wait for it.
In the past year, perhaps you have also been busy moving forward and lost yourself in the fast-paced life.
If you are always asking for something outward, you will easily lose sight of your heart and end up living a confused and painful life.
In the new year, please stop your busy pace, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, learn to introspect in silence, and heal your heart in time.
American journalist Picke Yerr, at the age of 29, lived the life that most people dream of:
He moved in and out of Manhattan's busiest neighborhoods, worked for Time magazine, a top news magazine, and achieved early financial freedom.
In the beginning, the hectic life in the crowd really excited Yael.
But as time passed, he became more and more anxious:
I am busy every day, but I am still worried that I will not be able to achieve KPIs, and I dare not stop, afraid of being surpassed by others in the competition......
Later, because he was really overwhelmed, he simply took a long vacation, moved to a secluded suburb, and lived alone for more than a year.
This quiet time allowed him to withdraw from the noisy world and re-examine himself.
After reflection, he understood that life does not have to be in a hurry, and that only by slowing down can he live comfortably.
After returning to work, I no longer worry about the assessment or the future, but do my duty and only focus on the things in front of me.
Over time, the whole person is getting better and better, and his career is also smooth.
Zhou Guoping once said:
The best state of life is abundant quiet. Tranquility is freedom from the temptations of the outside world, and abundance is due to the possession of inner treasures.
It's easy to be blinded by the hustle and bustle, to lose sight of what you want.
Only by shielding yourself from the outside world can you calm down and think rationally about the present and the future.
In the new year, learn to have a long talk with your soul in silence.
Through constant introspection, you will be able to choose the right path and live your life at your own will and pace.

Self-improvement at low times
In the past year, you may have encountered various tribulations: emotional frustration, work difficulties, and entrepreneurial failure......
In the face of the trough of life, people who blindly lament the helplessness of life and complain about the cruelty of reality can only be completely crushed by pain.
Don't lament or admit fate, choose to die to the end, you can win the turnaround and get out of the darkest moment of life.
Read the story of American diver Jonny Erickson.
In 1967, Erikson was seriously injured in a diving accident, leaving him paralyzed from the head down.
From an athlete to a useless cripple, Eriksen fell into a meltdown at one point.
She washed her face in tears all day long, and no matter how much her family and friends tried to persuade her, she always thought that fate was really unfair to her.
Later, one day, the former teacher came to see her and said to her: You are still young, is it okay to forget about it for the rest of your life?
These words woke Erikson up.
In order to change the situation, she began to learn to draw.
She picked up the paintbrush she had used in middle school, held it in her mouth, and practiced hard.
For this reason, she was often tired and dizzy, and even her eyes were sore from sweat, but she always gritted her teeth and persevered.
After working hard day after day, five years later, her oil paintings were selected for the first time in an exhibition and received praise from the art world.
Today, she is a well-known oil painter.
God gave her a bad script, but she used her own strength to redeem herself.
This reminds me of a quote from Camus:
I don't expect life to go well, but I want to be a rival to life when it comes to difficulties.
There is a painful time in everyone's life.
If you admit defeat, your life will be ruined, and if you hold on, you will find that suffering is just a synonym for grinding.
In the new year, no matter what happens, don't be easily defeated, and don't admit defeat casually.
Iron is becoming harder and harder the more refined, and people must become more and more courageous.
Learn to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and constantly seek breakthroughs and changes, in order to fight a beautiful turnaround battle under the difficulties of fate.

"Caigen Tan" says:
"In the territory of Shun, full of swords and spears, the bones are not known; in adversity, the whole body is full of needles and stones, and the knots are not realized. ”
In good times, people are like being surrounded by all kinds of weapons, and there is great danger.
And when you are in adversity, it is like having needles and medicine all over your body, which tends to make you stronger.
Many times, good times are not enough to be happy, and bad times are not enough to worry.
In the new year, please stay sober, not arrogant, quiet, and not discouraged.
As long as you work hard, think diligently, and dare to fight, no matter what situation you are in, you can live a brilliant life.
Give it a thumbs up and encourage your friends.
