Someone said: "Life is a process of rushing to the end." ”
If you open your eyes, it will be a new day, and if you don't open your eyes, you will live for a lifetime.
We know that "life and death are fate", but we are still running desperately, always thinking that if we make a lot of money and have a house and a car, we will be able to spend the rest of our lives in peace.
When I have everything, I find that life is becoming more and more fragile, how can I enjoy happiness?
Only those who are smart can understand that whether life is good or not is not about how much money there is, but about making one's soul rich and strong.
Generally speaking, the following three methods can enrich a person's life.
Reading: Great wisdom nourishes the heart.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Confucius, who was born in the country of Lu, he learned etiquette since he was a child, and with his talent, he quickly learned something.
He wanted to make a difference in politics, but he was ostracized many times, so he simply put aside his political ambitions and spent his whole life studying seriously.
As the saying goes, "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books." ”
Confucius took ** and traveled around the world.
Once, he arrived at a place called Kuang. The local people, mistakenly believing that he was the "Yang Tiger" who did all kinds of evil, called out to many officers and soldiers, surrounded him, and detained him for several days.
Strangely, Confucius did not panic and was still reading and singing.
*We're in a hurry, when are they, still singing?
Confucius said that he had not done anything wrong, so what was there to be afraid of?
"Fearless in the face of danger and clear conscience", this is the aura of Confucius to deal with difficulties.
Later, after identification, the local people learned that there was an oolong and let Confucius go.
Originally, Confucius went to the nations to promote his own political ideas, but all the kings respected him, but did not reuse him.
After going around in a big circle, Confucius finally understood that a person's wisdom is not used to seek status, but to educate people. After he returned to the country of Lu, he accepted apprentices, studied and wrote books behind closed doors, and became a "teacher" admired by future generations
Zi said: "Knowing it silently, learning without getting tired, teaching people tirelessly, what is there for me?" ”What can make a person truly happy is benevolence and morality, and what can make a person get benevolence and morality is to persevere in learning. We often say, "People are always angry, they can't get used to other people, they talk endlessly, they argue and explain desperately." It's because of the lack of wisdom. ”
Therefore, in order to enrich yourself, you must first possess infinite wisdom. With wisdom to observe everything in society and deal with all problems, people have always been calm.
Look at the mountain, it is always the mountain; Look at the water, it's always water. After experiencing prosperity, you can return to your true nature; After going through hardships, you can still talk and laugh, this is - nourishing the heart.
Kindness: Virtue to support the family.
Someone sighed: "When people reach middle age, the most unsuccessful thing is not that they have no money, but that they do not have a decent home." ”
It is true that there is no money and you can earn it, but if you don't have a home, it's really difficult to rebuild. Marriage is not something that can be enjoyed casually, and the affection between children and parents is not obtained overnight.
The reason why a family is "prosperous from generation to generation" is "moral education".
Kong Rong, when he was three years old, was able to recognize the general situation, giving the biggest pear to his brothers and sisters, and eating the youngest himself. The style of courtesy has made the family warm and has become a beautiful talk for the ages.
When Emperor Shun was a child, his mother died early, and his father found a stepmother for him.
It is understandable that stepmothers bully children, after all, there is no flesh and blood. It is unreasonable for a father to bully his son and wish that his son would die soon. Shun's father, who is such a person, hopes that his son will disappear from the family as soon as possible.
Once, the family was going to dig a well. Shun wielded a shovel and dug the well to a depth of several meters. Suddenly, his father and stepmother poured dirt into the well in an attempt to trap him.
Shun had already taken precautions and dug a passage in the wall of the well, which could lead to another exit.
When Shun escaped, he did not blame his father and stepmother, but greeted him very politely and ate happily.
After Shun became the emperor, he repaid his grievances with virtue, let his family live a happy life, and served his stepmother as his own mother.
In the Book of Rites, Confucius praised Shun"A person with great virtue will inevitably get status, wealth, fame, and longevity." ”
Why are many families always not harmonious? Fathers and sons turn against each other, brothers and sisters quarrel endlessly over family wealth, husbands and wives will be estranged, and they may even look for a third party.We all understand the principle of "family and everything is prosperous", but how to achieve harmony is really a difficult problem.If children are like Kong Rong and know how to be polite, and adults are open-minded and morally noble like Shun, there is no reason for the family to be disharmonious.
A small virtue is simply helping others; Dade has no grievances all his life, and can tolerate the villains around him, and use his words and deeds to infect and move those who hurt him.
Ideal: Raise people with great causes.
An entrepreneur once said, "The purpose of making money for ourselves is not to make our lives better, but to make people who can know you, or people you can help, so that they can also live better." ”Doing your own business well is not only for money, but also for the people who struggle with you to be able to earn money and get rich together. This is the "great cause".
If a person has struggled for many years, just for his own selfish desires, then his achievements are destined not to be too many.
Only when everyone gathers firewood can the flame continue to rise.
Cao Dewang, a good person, said: "I tell my employees and children that every minute and every minute of every day of life is every brick you are building in the historical edifice." ”If you integrate your career into the long river of history, you can be long-term and benefit generations of people.
Why can some people become the originator of a certain industry, because he did not own the achievements, but selflessly gave them to others.
For example, Li Shizhen wrote a book about what he had learned all his life, so that people all over the world could find good medicine to cure diseases and save people.
It can be seen that the real cause is to feed thousands of people, nourish the water and soil, and contribute to the country.
Conclusion.
"Caigen Tan" has a saying: "Wealth and fame are self-moral, like flowers in the mountains and forests." ”A truly wealthy person has been cultivating virtue, integrating life into the world, and making wisdom, virtue, and performance endless.
No matter how much money you leave behind, it will be spent, and only a good spirit can be immortal.
No matter how old you are, you have to be a person with a big picture.
