In this bustling and chaotic world, some people are running around and toiling, and some people are at ease. And between these two kinds of people, there is always such a voice, lingering in my heart: "Work hard to make money, cultivate yourself, everything else is nonsense." This voice seems to be the teachings of the ancients, and it is like a wake-up call in modern society.
I once heard a story about a young man who came to a big city to work hard away from his hometown in order to pursue his dreams. He knows that in this highly competitive place, only by constantly working hard can he gain a firm foothold. So, he was busy with work during the day and studied hard at night, practicing his skills. After years of hard work, he finally got a place in the city.
However, when he looked back, he found that the friends who had accompanied him through his youth had long since left him. He had tried to keep in touch with them, but whenever he reached out, he was always misinterpreted as flattery. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "When you don't have a certain strength, your kindness to others will become a kind of cheapness." ”
This reminds me of a saying of the ancients: "Peach and plum do not speak, and the bottom is its own." "Only when you have a certain strength can you really attract the attention of others. Those illusory friendships and favors are just fleeting. And the real strength is the eternal wealth.
In this rapidly changing world, we cannot rely solely on the charity and gifts of others. Only by constantly cultivating oneself and improving one's strength can one remain invincible in this highly competitive society. When we have enough strength, those doubts and misunderstandings will naturally disappear.
So, let us no longer be fooled by the glitz and glamour, and stop living for the eyes of others. Work hard to cultivate yourself and improve your strength. Because in this world, strength is the last word. And those so-called flattery are just the imagination of people who are not strong enough.
The weight of strength lies not only in the accumulation of money and status, but also in the cultivation and improvement of the heart. When we have enough strength, we will find that the world is a better place. And everything we have fought for will become more meaningful.
