When we were young, our parents expected us to study hard, go to a good university, get a stable job after graduation, and then start a family and live a peaceful life.
We remember our parents' teachings to us, so life is like a path that has been predetermined for a long time, and we live step by step.
Go to a university, in order to be able to receive higher education and better employment, have a position in a state-owned enterprise, and live a peaceful and stable life.
Most people spend their entire lives pursuing a stable life.
Looking back at the resumes of our parents, they suffered during the food shortage and knew the difficulty of not having enough to eat, at that time, going to work to earn money for food was the pursuit. Most of them are like old cattle, guarding a unit and working diligently until their glorious retirement.
Life is peaceful and stable, the days are not alarming, although it is not rich, it is also plain and stable, and it maintains inertia in stability.
There is nothing wrong with the pursuit of stability, which is in line with the development law of all things in the world: everything in the world has a tendency to remain stable, and once it is broken, it will maintain balance and stability at the level of breaking.
But there is a change in stability, even if you do everything every day. Just like Chaplin in the film, although every job is to twist the screw cap on the machine, things seem to be the same, but the time freeze is not the same time.
As we once said in our middle school textbooks, "One cannot step into the same river twice."
The sun is new every day, and when people's minds are still stuck in yesterday's cognition, you can't feel anything different today than yesterday, you will be confused by the superficial phenomena of matter, and you can't recognize the essence of matter.
"The University" says: "Every day is new, every day is new, and every day is new." "It means that if it is new every day, it should be kept new every day, and it should be updated when it is new." That is to say, let us see the world with a new attitude every day.
If you want to phoenix nirvana, quantitative change to qualitative change, in addition to change, there is really no second way.
Many celebrity biographies all explain their life experiences, from the life of a no-name to a successful person, it will not be smooth sailing, it is in constant change, accepting change, and experiencing countless failures before finally succeeding.
Meyer Musk, author of his favorite book "Life by Me", explained to the world: The world society is changing, life is changing, people are changing, and nothing is set in stone. She used her legendary life to show people that although life gave her a bad hand, she could play beautifully.
At the age of 15, Meyer found her first passion, became a model, and at the age of 21 won the "Miss South Africa" pageant for her good looks. Married to her engineer boyfriend at the age of 22, we expected that Meyer would be able to live a happy life.
But the sharp brakes of life were unexpected, and her married life was not stable, but suffered 9 years of domestic violence, and finally she decided to say goodbye to the painful life, and chose to divorce at the age of 31.
A mother of three, she was forced to re-employ in middle age, when she worked two jobs during the day and studied for a master's degree at night.
The three children were crammed into a small room with her, and every night she had to sleep in the kitchen either in the living room, and under such harsh conditions, three excellent children were raised.
The eldest son, Elon Musk, as the founder of Tesla, is known as the "next Jobs", the second Kimball opened an ecological restaurant, and the younger daughter Tosca has her own film company.
At an age when she should have enjoyed her life, she chose to change, break through herself, and complete her childhood modeling dream.
At the age of 69, she serves as the spokesperson for the best-selling makeup in the United States, and her photos occupy 4 billboards in New York's Times Square. At the age of 72, she became an "Internet celebrity", writing books and playing live broadcasts, which attracted the attention of the whole world.
It can be seen that excessive stability will not make a person stand out, but will make people mediocre. If the environment gives you a sense of security, life will make you fall into a nest of comfort, but it will also deprive you of the ambition to continue learning and work hard.
In fact, from another point of view, change also means opening up a new world and means having new opportunities. If the butterfly is afraid of change, there will be no magnificent transformation from cocoon to butterfly; if the cicada is afraid of change, it can only live in the dark underground forever, and cannot transform into a cicada and bathe and sing in the sun.
Time is changing, things around you are changing, age is getting older, and every day it changes. People should not be afraid of change, but accept it ideologically, embrace it, and find their own opportunities in a society full of variables, so that they can take a successful path.
As the Dharma mentions "impermanence," when you look at the world with a changing state of mind, you have new growth every day. At this time, what you have to do is to show the courage to embrace tomorrow, and you will continue to change, improve, and eventually reach a new realm.
