In this life, in the face of the world, there are three mentalities:
Contented, under-knowledgeable, unsatisfied.
Feel happiness in contentment, find direction in inadequacy, and gain motivation in dissatisfaction.
Contented people are always happy
There is a short story in "Zhuangzi":
The one-legged hammer, the envious multi-legged moth, walks effortlessly;
Multi-legged moths, envious of the footless snake, can move forward without moving their feet;
A snake without feet, envious of the invisible wind, can come and go without a trace.
None of them are satisfied, nor do they realize that what they have is exactly what others envy.
Carnegie said in The Weakness of Human Nature:
"Many of the troubles in life stem from our blind comparison with others and forgetting to enjoy our own lives."
In fact, we don't need to make unnecessary comparisons with others.
If you don't have a contented mindset, how can you be happy?
Don't envy those who are happier than themselves, don't envy those who are better than themselves, and know how to enjoy what they have.
Only when a person can be satisfied can he maintain a happy mood.
Life is in the world, and it is not satisfactory nine times out of ten.
Always be grateful for everything you have.
Let us feel happiness in contentment.
Those who do not know enough are self-aware
Knowing their shortcomings, people will live more thoroughly.
Mr. Bingxin's grandfather, Xie Zixiu, once wrote a couplet:
"Contentment is insufficient, and there are things to do."
A person must first put himself in the right position and calm his own mentality in order to understand what can be done and what cannot be done.
Mencius has a saying: "If you can't do anything, you ask for yourself." ”
People always push mistakes on others and exaggerate their own achievements.
Thinking you have a little bit of cleverness makes you feel good about yourself.
This kind of person is often not very successful.
There is an old Chinese saying: "People are valuable and self-aware." ”
There is a heaven outside the sky, there are people outside the people, and no one is perfect.
Everyone has flaws, if you are afraid of it and avoid it, it will always be your hard wound;
Only by facing it squarely and overcoming it can we see the way forward.
Let's find our way in the inadequacies of knowledge.
The unsatisfied forge ahead
Most people are mediocre because they are too easy to satisfy and not want to make progress.
Once you find a comfortable and comfortable place, you begin to live and live a chaotic life.
Smoothed out the edges and corners, lost the fighting spirit, no longer worked hard, no longer serious life, only left to eat and wait for death.
Zhuang Zi said: "The mourning of the husband is greater than the death of the heart, and the death of the human is secondary." ”
In Zhuangzi's view, if you live like ashes, it is better to die.
There is no greater sorrow for a person than this.
Mr. Lu Xun said: "Dissatisfaction is the upward wheel. ”
People were not satisfied with slash-and-burn cultivation, so they invented the oxen ploughing iron plough; not satisfied with Ru Mao drinking blood, they created the eight major cuisines.
Only if we are not satisfied, can we "go further and further".
Let's get motivated by our dissatisfaction.
