Mo Yan said: "People who look down on you don't have to come close;If you don't have you in your heart, don't bother;Those who don't know how to be grateful, don't believe it anymore;People who are hypocritical, don't hand it over again. ”
On the long road of life, we always desire to be understood, accepted, and respected.
However, not everyone can see the light within you, and not everyone can appreciate your true self.
When we encounter incomprehension and contempt, how should we face ourselves, how to maintain self-esteem and self-love?
We need to understand that self-esteem is the cornerstone of personality, as Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." ”
To examine oneself means not to define oneself by the evaluation of others. People who look down on you are short-sighted and unable to see the full splendor of you, and we don't need to waste our energy on them.
Because, for those who can't appreciate you, your value doesn't lie in a look or a word from them.
In fact, letting go is not a kind of open-mindedness, and never let external objects trap you.
Charles Darwin said, "It is not the strongest species that will survive, nor the smartest species that will survive, but the species that is most adapted to change." ”
Letting go is not abstention, but an adaptation and adaptation. People who don't have you in their hearts are not worth your time and affection, because it won't be a mutually beneficial relationship.
Only by taking the time to nurture relationships that genuinely care about you can we reap mutual growth and support.
In the journey of life, we should follow the guidance of our hearts, instead of getting lost in the fog of external evaluation.
Franz Kafka said, "Don't bend, don't get wet, don't try to do things that your heart doesn't want to do." "Only then can we truly live our own lives and live with confidence.
In this process, we must also learn to love ourselves as the most precious treasure in the world. Knowing when to go in and when to go back is a sign of wisdom.
We must learn enough self-love and self-confidence to make our souls rich and not be swayed by the cold eyes and neglect of others.
When we learn to discern who we should be close to and who we should keep our distance, our lives will be richer and more focused on the people and things that give us positive energy.
Staying away from negative energy, staying away from those who don't respect you and don't care about you, is the most basic respect and protection for yourself.
As Romain Rolland said, "Know what belongs to you and what belongs to others, and never put the ignorance and mistakes of others on yourself." ”
Discerning what is constructive criticism and what is just meaningless belittling helps us grow and progress better.
We must understand that life must not only have a broad mind to accept the world, but also have a keen eye to distinguish between white clouds and dogs.
Remember those stories of Phoenix Nirvana, not everyone can see the glory of your rebirth, but you have to believe in your own value and stick to your dignity.
On the road of self-growth, we can learn to use our wisdom to look at the invisible walls that can be seen, so that we can become a person with firm character and full of self-confidence.
Mo Yan's words are not only a piece of survival advice, but also a reminder to face the world and ourselves with the right attitude. Building a spiritual shelter for yourself with dignity and maintaining serenity and firmness in the hustle and bustle of the world is the only way to success and inner peace.
Always remember that we all carry endless potential and power that we don't need to prove to anyone.
So, let's be brave and go on our own journey of life, and let our light bloom confidently and brilliantly!
