Why is the ideal always plump and the reality always skinny?
Because the cost of our imagination is zero, and the cost of acting in reality is not zero, and we need to pay a corresponding price for each idea.
Some people's lives are full of flexibility, and some people's lifelong thinking is solid, all of which come from our understanding of cost.
When we are willing to take the initiative to pay the price, we can be flexible when dealing with any problem, and we can increase more possibilities.
It's not that we pay the price and we can get everything we want, but if we want to get anything, we have to calculate the price and be willing to pay the price.
Therefore, when we are willing to give, we have one more possibility in life;When we stop giving, our lives will be reversed.
What is "upside-down thinking"?Some people say that there is a give-and-take, a big give-and-go, a small give-and-go, and no reluctance.
Is that really the case?What is the relationship between giving and taking?We need to re-comb today.
If we give up today for the sake of gaining, we are entering a mode of exchange, and as long as we have a heart of exchange, we will definitely not be able to get the results we want. The principle is very simple, for example, today we go to sell a product, as long as there is a customer to pay, we have a profit to make.
If we go to buy a product, no matter how low we cut the **, as long as the merchant agrees to sell the product to us, it means that he has made money.
All the exchanges, we thought we were getting cheap, but in fact we paid for it.
There is no relationship between giving and takingSacrifice is the energy we take the initiative to give, and "gain" is also "virtue", which is a manifestation of our inner virtue, inner wisdom, and inner quality after comprehensive improvement.
When you can make the people around you "gain", you are virtuous.
So we Chinese say:Be a man who is willing, generous, and generous.
You go and see the person who keeps saying that he is willing every day, is he a generous person in life, or is he a stingy and stingy ghost?You go and see if the person who has told a lot of truths in his life can do it in the process of landing.
1. Teach by example
Because the cost of bragging is too low, we see a lot of people come with their mouths open, and they still love themselves, care more about themselves, and pay more attention to themselves at critical times.
So you know that a lot of times it only takes a second to say a sentence;It may take three or five years to realize this sentence;Through your own personal practice, it may take a lifetime to live such a state of life.
May you and I not be blinded by these superficial words.
