Life is hurried for decades, with what kind of people, you will become what kind of person, choose what kind of friends, you choose what kind of life.
And in this world, there are always some people, because of good quality, with their own noble spirit.
01
People who look down on fame and fortune
Bai Juyi wrote in the poem: "Persuade the king to do less and be named, called the body lock." Advise the king to seek less profit, and profit is to burn himself to the fire. ”
In that year, the King of Chu wei heard of Zhuangzi's talent and fame, and sent emissaries to hire Zhuangzi as prime minister with heavy gifts.
In the face of such rich fame and fortune, Zhuangzi only lightly refused, laughing and saying:
"Qianjin is indeed a generous gift, and the honor of the marquis is also extremely honorable, but have you not seen the cattle used for sacrifice?"
After years of careful feeding, let it wear Ayara silk and enter the temple, and it is difficult to escape the fate of being slaughtered as a sacrifice.
You go, I want to live freely, not bound by official fame and fortune. ”
Zhuangzi knew that once he fell into Vanity Fair, he couldn't help himself, so it was better to take fame and fortune lightly, and his life would suddenly be enlightened.
Fame and fortune in the end is nothing more than a bamboo basket to hit the water, and the comfort of the heart is the most beautiful scenery of life.
Truly mature people do not abandon fame and fortune, nor do they pursue fame and fortune, but look down on fame and fortune, come and go freely, not tired of fame, not confused by profit.
02
People who know humility
Su Dongpo was talented and famous when he was a teenager. With a proud stroke of his pen, he wrote a couplet on the door of the study where the guests were entertained: read all the words in the world, and read all the books on earth.
One day, an old man with white hair came to visit, saw Su Dongpo, and said, "I heard that Su Caizi's learning is unparalleled in the world, and the old man has come to ask for advice." ”
Only to see the old man holding a book, Su Dongpo took it, opened it to read, and found that most of the words in it were not recognized.
When the old man saw Su Dongpo's face look ugly, he said: "There are so many books in the world, it is inevitable that the prince has not seen it, I will ask others again, it will not be difficult for you." ”
Su Shi listened, and was immediately ashamed of himself. After the old man left, he rewrote the couplet on the door: he was angry and knew all the words in the world, and he was determined to read all the books on earth.
Most of the people who have become great things in ancient and modern times are people who are calm and calm and humble.
They know that when a person is immersed in self-righteous fantasies and blinded by arrogance, he cannot make any further progress.
Zeng Guofan said: "Humility and humility are noble faces. Low-key, expensive but not obvious, flashy and not dazzling, is vision, is the way to success, but also the charm in a person's bones.
03
Spiritually rich people
I agree with Yi Shu's words:
"The man who is really rich at heart never shows off everything he has, he doesn't tell people what books he's read, what cars he's driven, where he's been, how many pieces of clothing he's had, what jewelry he's bought, because he doesn't have an inferiority complex."
People with a rich spiritual world do not need to belittle others to elevate themselves, nor do they need external recognition to satisfy vanity.
Ye Shengtao went to teach after becoming famous, and only four words were written in the experience column: "Primary school teacher".
Ji Xianlin called himself a teacher throughout his life: "My job is mainly to climb the grid. ”
When Yang Dai refused to publish the press, he only said with a little humor: "I am just a drop of water, not soapy water, and I can't blow bubbles." ”
People with high levels see through vanity, do not care about false names and floating images, and do not show off to the outside world.
Instead, it is to live yourself in a low-key way, pursue the life you want in your heart, enjoy a peaceful and quiet, indifferent and open-minded, and happy life.
04
Reliable people
Someone on the Internet asked: "What is the most important quality of being a human being?" ”
A high praise said: "Be a conscience, do things with confidence, and get along with peace of mind." ”
At the end of the day, it's reliable.
Reliability is not only the highest evaluation of a person, but also the greatest ability of a person.
Mei Yiqi, the old principal of Tsinghua University, is such a person.
In those turbulent times, personnel changes were normal, but no one wanted to replace him, because as long as he was there, it meant peace of mind.
On the surface, he seems to be very wooden, but when he does things, he is absolutely unambiguous.
Whether it is Hongru or Bai Ding, they are willing to regard him as a close friend, because everyone is willing to believe in such a reliable person.
In this world, there is never a shortage of smart people, and what is missing is people who are reliable for people.
After all, reliable people have a bottom line in their hearts and a principle in their handling of things, and they can not only bear things, but also sit in the position.
