The famous writer Yu Hua once said: "You can't forget the four rules of life, don't say the wrong thing, don't sleep in the wrong bed, don't step on the wrong threshold, and don't touch the wrong pocket." These four golden sentences are like four bright lights, illuminating every choice we make in the journey of life. Today, let's take a look at these four pieces of wisdom and deeply appreciate their importance through a short story.
First of all, don't say the wrong thing. Words are the expression of ideas and the bridge of interpersonal relationships. In a word, it can turn spring breeze into rain; If you say it wrong, it can cause a storm. I remember such a true story: a young newcomer in the workplace offended his boss because of an unintentional remark in a meeting. As a result, not only did the project fail, but his position was also in jeopardy. That's the power of "don't say the wrong thing". Before we speak, we need to think twice about what we say to make sure that our words have a positive impact on others and don't become a stumbling block in our own path.
Secondly, don't sleep in the wrong bed. The "bed" here is a metaphor for the choice of a partner in life. Choosing the right partner is like choosing a good sleeping environment, which can allow you to get full rest and recovery during the journey of life. On the other hand, if you don't make the right choice, no matter how hard you try during the day, the restlessness at night will wear down your fighting spirit and energy. For example, my friend Xiao Li, because of a momentary impulse, chose a partner who was not suitable for him. His married life was full of quarrels and dissatisfaction, which seriously affected his career and health. Therefore, when choosing a partner, you must be cautious, which is a manifestation of responsibility for yourself and the other party.
Again, don't step on the wrong threshold. The threshold represents opportunities and choices. At every stage of life, we will be faced with many choices, and these choices are like thresholds, and if we step on the right step, we can enter a new world; If you step on the wrong step, you may be in trouble. For example, Mr. Zhang was at the crossroads of his career and faced the decision of whether to change jobs. After careful consideration, he chose to stay in his original company and was eventually given the opportunity to be promoted. If he had impulsively stepped on the wrong threshold, he might have missed the opportunity to develop.
Finally, don't make a mistake in your pockets. The "pocket" here refers to the financial management of the individual. In a materialistic society, how to manage one's finances well is a university question. If you get it in the wrong pocket, it can lead to financial losses and even reputational bankruptcy. For example, Ms. Zhao invested her savings in an unreliable project because she was greedy for a high-return investment**, and ended up losing all her money. Therefore, when we manage our finances, we must be cautious and not let greed and impulsiveness control our judgment.
