Before reading, I would like to remind you that this article is for reference and entertainment only, and it is not to be superstitious!
In ancient times, there were two teenagers in the village, Li Qin and Li Yi. The two of them are the same age, but their personalities are very different.
Li Qin has been diligent and studious since he was a child, and in addition to helping his family with farming, he also uses his free time to read and write to constantly improve himself. He knows very well the truth that "if the young man does not work hard, the boss will be sad", so he does not want to waste his time.
On the contrary, Li Yi is a lazy person, idle all day long, doing nothing. He often laughed at Li Qin for working too hard, believing that life should be happy in time. Whenever Li Qin advised him to cherish his time and work hard to improve himself, he always said disdainfully: "Now that you are young, you should enjoy it, and it will be too late to work hard when you are old." ”
Year after year, through unremitting efforts, Li Qin finally achieved fame and became the pride of the village. And Li Yi still has nothing to do, and his family is getting poorer and poorer.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Qin has become an important minister of the imperial court, highly regarded by the emperor, and his family has prospered. But Li Yi was depressed and had a difficult life. At this time, he recalled Li Qin's advice when he was young, and couldn't help but regret it.
As the ancients said: "If the young and strong do not work hard, the old man will be sad." However, in the interesting exploration of zodiac numerology, there are such five zodiac signs, as if they were quietly given special arrangements by the god of fate - they may have experienced ups and downs when they were young, but because of the spirit of hardship and hard work, they finally ushered in the golden autumn of life, enjoying a healthy and blessed old age.
Let's explore the life philosophy of these five zodiac wise people, and perhaps learn a thing or two from them to add a light of wisdom to our life journey.
1. Diligent cow: steadfast and steady, thick and thin
People who belong to the ox, as said in "Chu Ci Lisao": "The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek." "Their life seems to be an epic of continuous cultivation and pursuit.
When they were young, they were like the old ox who was silently pulling the plough in the field, although "ploughing thousands of acres and thousands of boxes, who would recover from exhaustion", but they never regretted it, because they knew that only by paying could they reap.
They take every step of their lives step by step.
This diligence and tenacity are reminiscent of the old proverb: "No gain, no gain." It is with this bull energy that people who belong to the ox can move forward steadily on the road of life and accumulate steadily.
As the years passed, their efforts and dedication were finally rewarded. In old age, they are not only in good health and family harmony, but also quietly accumulating wealth like the fruits of autumn. This is the best praise for their hard-working and unremitting pursuit when they were young.
The people of the ox used practical actions to interpret the profound truth that "suffering at youth is not suffering, but happiness is happiness when you are old". Their lives are like an inspirational legend, inspiring future generations to continue to forge ahead and pursue excellence. And their stories also tell us: only by being steadfast and steady, can we go further and more steadily on the road of life.
Looking back, look at those famous bulls in history, such as Confucius, Liu Bei, etc., which of them did not achieve great things through perseverance and perseverance? This just confirms another sentence in "Chu Ci": "I also have the good heart of the rest, although I have not regretted it even though I have died nine times." "The ox is the best interpreter of this spirit.
2. Dexterous mouse: witty and flexible, discerning and discerning
"Clever as a mouse, insight into opportunities", this is not only an image description of the rat people, but also an accurate portrayal of their character. In ancient legends, the rat was a symbol of wit and dexterity, and the rat people did inherit these excellent qualities.
When he was young, the rat person was like a witty little mouse, always able to quickly find a way out of the complex and changeable environment. Their keen insight and flexible minds allow them to always be at ease when faced with difficult situations. As said in "Mengxi Writings": "The insight of the world is knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article." "Rat people are good at observing, learning, and accumulating, so as to lay a solid foundation for their lives.
In terms of the accumulation of wealth, the rat people also have their own uniqueness.
They are well aware of the truth of "gathering sand into a tower, gathering armpits into fur", so they are good at starting small and accumulating wealth bit by bit. Most people will think that this practice is inconspicuous, but it is a trickle of wisdom. Over time, these seemingly small accumulations will become like a trickle of rivers and seas, which will become the cornerstone of their prosperity in their later years.
As for healthy investment, rat people are even more prepared for a rainy day.
They know that the body is the capital of the revolution, so they begin to pay attention to the way of health at a young age, and the forward-looking way of thinking can not only have a rich material life in their later years, but also maintain physical and mental health and enjoy family life.
Staying healthy is a long-term and comprehensive process that involves multiple aspects such as diet, exercise, rest, and mental health. Here are some simple practices that can help you stay healthy:
- Eat a balanced diet: Eat a variety of colored vegetables and fruits to ensure your intake of various vitamins and minerals. Choose whole-grain foods, such as whole-grain bread and brown rice, instead of refined flour and rice. Limit your intake of foods high in sugar, fat, and salt.
- Regular exercise: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, such as brisk walking, running, swimming, etc. Perform strength training to build muscle strength and endurance.
- Get enough sleep: Adults should get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Create a quiet, comfortable sleeping environment that avoids noise and light distractions.
- Reduce stress: Learn to manage and reduce stress, such as relaxing through meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. Take up hobbies, such as reading, drawing, or listening to music, to distract and relieve stress.
- Avoid harmful substances: Quit smoking and limit alcohol to reduce the harm of tobacco and alcohol to the body.
3. Tenacious Horse: Aim for a thousand miles, do not give up
Ban Chao, an outstanding general and diplomat in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was born in a learned family, and his father Ban Biao and brother Ban Gu were both famous scholars at that time. In his early years, Ban Chao also worked as a clerical worker, copying documents to make ends meet. However, what he has in his heart is not the pen and ink on the desk, but the yearning for the vast world and the desire to make contributions.
One day, Ban Chao threw his pen and sighed during the work break: "The husband has no other ambitions, and he should still follow Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian's meritorious service in a foreign land, in order to win the title of marquis, and An Neng can write for a long time?" Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian were both famous explorers and diplomatic envoys of the Han Dynasty, and their deeds inspired Ban Chao, making him unwilling to be mediocre and eager to leave a strong mark on the stage of history like them.
Subsequently, Ban Chao resolutely gave up his paperwork, responded to the call of the imperial court, joined the army, and embarked on the journey of the western expedition. With extraordinary wisdom and courage, he repeatedly performed miraculous feats, especially in the cause of fighting the Xiongnu and opening up the Western Regions, showing outstanding military talent and diplomatic skills. Ban Chao not only successfully contacted the countries of the Western Regions to annex them to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also led his troops to repel the invasion of the Xiongnu many times, ensuring the smooth flow of the Silk Road, and making great contributions to the exchanges between the East and the West.
The idiom "ambition is a thousand miles" is just like Cao Cao's famous sentence in "Stepping Out of the Summer Gate: Turtle Although Shou": "Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambition is a thousand miles." "It depicts a spirit, a perseverance, a perseverance that is exactly what a horse man does. Since childhood, they have had a dream in their hearts, and that dream is like a sea of stars thousands of miles away, leading them to move forward.
This kind of person is like the ancient chivalrous warriors, with great ambitions and is not afraid of long journeys. Their life is like a marathon, even if the road is long and full of hardships, they always maintain the attitude of running.
Every step is sonorous and powerful, and every footprint is imprinted with tenacity and perseverance.
When they are young, they may stumble and even bruise for their ideals.
These grinds have shaped their tenacity. They understand, as the "Book of Filial Piety" says: "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning." "Every time I fall and get up, I am persistent in my dreams and the practice of my parents' teachings.
As the years passed, their experience and wisdom became more and more precious. In their careers, they have finally made remarkable achievements with years of accumulation and unremitting efforts.
In life, they also learned how to balance work and life. They know that work is about living, and life is more than just work.
The tenacity of the horse can't help but remind me of the saying: "The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time." "Their endurance and perseverance have been best proven over time.
Fourth, the dog of loyalty: unswerving, deep blessings
"It is enough to have a confidant in life, and the world should treat it with the same heart." This is Mr. Lu Xun's famous saying, and for dog people, their loyalty makes it easier for them to gain sincere friendship and deep friendship. As depicted in "The Whole Song Dynasty", "in the sound of dogs barking at the water, the peach blossoms bring thick dew", in the complex world, dog people maintain that rare loyalty and innocence.
In ancient times, loyalty was seen as a noble quality. Confucius once said: "A gentleman is a man of righteousness, and a villain is of profit." The loyalty of the dog is the insistence on righteousness.
Not only is they loyal to their friendships, but they are also wholeheartedly devoted to their love and career, and this attitude has earned them the respect and trust of others in life.
However, loyalty is not always rewarded as it should be.
At a young age, dog people may experience betrayal and misunderstanding because they trust others too much. But as the ancients said: "The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time." "Time is the fairest judge, it will bring the unfaithful to the fore, and it will also give the loyalty of the dog the recognition it deserves.
Dog people in their later years have been able to gain sincere feelings and deep friendships because of their lifelong loyalty and good deeds. They are surrounded by a group of loyal friends, harmonious families, and enjoying family fun.
In the folk, there is a proverb that says: "Plant melons and get melons, and sow beans and get beans." "The loyalty and good deeds of dog people are like seeds, sown in the field of life, and finally reap full blessings. Their stories show us that loyalty is not only a quality, but also a strength that can make us go further and more steadily on the road of life.
"Loyalty is a choice, a decision you make in the face of temptation and difficulty." The loyalty of dog people is such an unwavering choice, which makes them shine on the road of life and become an example for us to follow.
5. Monkey of wisdom: witty and knowledgeable in old age
Since ancient times, monkeys have been known for their dexterity and alertness. The same is true for the monkey people, who are born with a different kind of intelligence, like "the monkey king commands the soldiers, and the resourcefulness is unparalleled", and can always stand out from the crowd with their whimsical ideas.
At a young age, the wisdom of the monkey people began to shine. They are good at learning, well-informed, and constantly draw nourishment from books and practice to enrich their inner world. As the ancients said: "Learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." "Monkey people know this very well, they always maintain a heart of knowledge, courage to move forward, and constantly improve themselves.
In difficult situations, monkey people are more able to show their extraordinary wisdom. They are quick thinkers and can quickly get to the crux of the problem and come up with practical solutions. This ability not only allows them to achieve good results in their careers, but also makes them more stable on the road of life.
"The Book of Filial Piety" has a cloud: "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also; Standing up and doing the way, making a name for yourself in future generations, in order to show your parents, and the end of filial piety. "While pursuing personal growth, monkey people do not forget to be filial to their parents and give back to society.
The precipitation of the years has made the wisdom of the monkey people more harmonious and accessible. In their later years, they are not only rich in material life, but also in their spiritual world.
"The wise are happy with the water, and the benevolent are happy with the mountain." The wisdom of the monkey is as agile and profound as flowing water. They are good at drawing wisdom from life and applying it to practice.
The story of these five zodiac signs is not only an allegory about fate, but also the epitome of the wisdom of life.
They tell us that no matter what our background, as long as we uphold the spirit of hardship and hard work, continue to work hard, pay attention to physical and mental health, and cultivate good interpersonal relationships, then no matter how many ups and downs we encounter when we are young, we will reap full happiness and peace when we grow old.
Let's take these zodiac signs as a mirror, live our own wonderful life, and enjoy every stage of life, after all, "life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon".
