Stendhal once said that humans want to survive in the world not to be rich, but to gain happiness.
But how many people are busy, but they are gradually drifting away from happiness.
Why not open the book "Like Water, Friend" written by Li Xiangning , and follow her into the life story of Bruce Lee's genius martial artist, philosopher and soul explorer, and gain the life wisdom that can allow us to gain more happiness and courage on the long journey of life.
01 Allow yourself to be an ordinary person
No matter how big a celebrity is, he is just an ordinary person. But there is a fun phenomenon, that is, the more famous a truly successful person is, the more he can accept himself as an ordinary person.
As Li Xiangning mentioned in the book, his father did not regard himself as an amazing martial artist and star, but regarded himself as an ordinary person who "had a waist injury, worked hard to live, and did something when he had time."
This is also the wisdom of water. Whether it is the rushing sea water or the quiet lake water, the snow in the mountains that are so high that it is looking up to, or the groundwater hidden deep in the soil, they are all water.
No drop of water will feel superior to others, and no drop of water will feel too inferior.
Accepting yourself as an ordinary person is a great wisdom of life. It can help you to cultivate patience from my busy life, and patience is to help life accumulate nutrients rather than just overdraw.
This wisdom in life is not only needed by adults. In the process of accompanying children to grow up, we must give them such confidence and calmness.
The great philosopher Nicethet once said that for ordinary people, ordinary is happiness.
If you cannot accept your identity as an ordinary person, it will bring you the pressure and anxiety of chicken kid , and kill your child's real interest and ability in learning.
Raising children with such beliefs. Even if he enters a top-level institution, he will often become a patient with hollow disease that is worried about. I have the ability to be able to integrate into society steadily.
02 No longer resists life, chooses to integrate into life
Bruce Lee once said this: adversity will make you realize a higher level, just like after a storm, the grass and trees become more lush.
When you are frustrated, how will a person face it, cheer up, and how to heal it? You can make us feel whether this person has a truly strong inner heart and vigorous vitality.
Bruce Lee's daughter lost her father when she was 4 years old, and when she was young, she lost her brother. The pains of life follow one after another, and she was once lost in this huge blow.
The years of years have been sinking into the grief of life. No one can pull him out, and she herself has no strength to rush out. Just like this, the years have passed, and what she has lost is more than youth.
Fortunately, in the process of reorganizing her father's manuscript, those words with wisdom flashed and witty finally pulled her out of a sad state of mind.
In this world, nothing is eternal and must be kept flowing.
When we choose not to resist life, to fight hardships, and to rejection, we can truly integrate into life. Only at this moment can we truly gain the favor of destiny and the favor of life.
If we choose to close ourselves and cannot cope with changes, we will be like a whirlpooling water flowing in the stream, standing still and unable to move forward. And when we regard pain as a gift of life and setback as a gift of life, we can accumulate strength and prepare, leave the vortex, and sing and rush forward again.
Just like in the process of raising children, we have emphasized the importance of anti-frustration ability countless times. When facing the success of life, happiness is an instinct. How to quickly get up from the unsatisfactory points of life and start a new journey again is a skill that we need to learn and practice for life.
03 Learn the wisdom to let things go
When he was young, Bruce Lee was the kind of child who couldn't stop. He was lucky to meet the master with great wisdom Ip Man In the process of learning martial arts, he not only focused on the accuracy of each move, but also taught him how to use philosophy to truly make himself happy and successful.
What the boy longs for is success and thinks that unremitting efforts can bring good results, but the master told him to carefully understand his reminders. The irritable boy could not understand it at all, so his master drove him away and asked him to stop for a week and not practice, and carefully thought about what he said meant.
Young Bruce Lee rowed his boat and sailed into the sea. The tense heart and impetuous spirit slowly relaxed, and simply let go. oars lying on the boat, watching the sky and listening to the waves, and suddenly realized that this was what the master said to let the flow.
If you want to win too much, you will lose. I want to subdue a trick, but I may be passive everywhere and be controlled by others.
Bruce Lee's philosophical wisdom that benefited throughout his life was born like water. In the following years, he shared this wisdom on countless occasions and used it. This wisdom helped many people change their lives.
If you want to control yourself, you must first accept yourself and adapt rather than violate your own nature.
empty your minds,
clear your thoughts,
be formless, shapeless, like water.
Flexible, invisible, like water.
you put it into a cup,it becomes the cup;
you pour water into a cup, it becomes the shape of the cup;
you put it into a bottle,it becomes the shape of the bottle;
you put it into a teapot,it becomes the shape of the teapot.
you pour water into a teapot,it becomes the shape of the teapot.
you pour water into a teapot,it becomes the shape of the teapot.
water can flow, or it can crash;
Water can flow or impact;
Be water, my friend.
Look like water, my friend.
In this era that has not been seen in 3,000 years, countless people and things are changing, and the ever-changing technology and new knowledge are introduced. In the process of nurturing children, we cannot only focus on the acquisition of knowledge, but also help them better adapt to the development of the times, the changes in the environment, and adaptability is becoming more and more important.
If we can appreciate and practice Bruce Lee's philosophy and the wisdom of water can bring children more calm and firm growth rather than the forced force that encourages growth, no matter adults and children, our lives will be filled with more happiness and happiness.
