When we send blessings to others, we often write:
"I wish you a bright future."
For everyone, having a bright future is the happiest thing. However, if you only regard these as blessings, you can only let nature take its course and try your luck. If you can really think through the logic behind it, good wishes will often come true.
To be honest, real good luck is not something you are born with, or acquired by chance, but comes from daily progress.
In reality, it directly determines whether a person will get better or worse in the future. You can get a glimpse of it from the details in his daily life.
Specifically, the signs that a person is getting better can be summarized in four sentences: I hope you can slowly develop it and live your favorite life.
1 It is rare to be confused when looking down on gains and losses.
"The Biography of Liu Wei in the Book of Jin" writes: "If it is too strong, it will be broken, and there will be no disciples when you observe it."
Things that are too hard will be broken easily, and people who are too discerning will not be followed. .
No matter what time it is, it is often easier for a person to be smart than to be confused.
Take a step back, the sky is brighter; it is rare to be confused and belittle gains and losses, but it is easier to have more.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty , Zheng Banqiao became the magistrate of Fan County, Shandong Province.
One day, a young and beautiful widow beat her drum to complain, accusing the wealthy gentry of the same village of plotting against her.
However, the wealthy gentleman cried out that he was wronged. He claimed that he and his deceased husband were good friends and that they helped each other many times on weekdays. Unexpectedly, the widow borrowed ten taels of silver from her and did not want to return it, so she falsely accused herself of molesting her.
Zheng Banqiao couldn't produce evidence for a while, so he asked the widow to pay back the money. Unexpectedly, he was called a "dog official" by the other party. He wasn't angry at all and didn't pay attention. He said to the wealthy gentleman that since you love doing good deeds so much, why not help other people more?
After that, whenever a poor person came to complain, Zheng Banqiao would ask the wealthy gentleman to get money to help him. After a while, the other party became unwilling.
Zheng Banqiao asked the reason, and the other party casually said: "I have no habit of doing good deeds, and I have never given any money to widows."
In this way, the flaw was finally exposed.
Everyone suddenly realized that Zheng Banqiao seemed to have no scheming, but in fact he was "rarely confused".
The same is true for a person. Being confused does not mean that life is in a mess, but that the mind is as clear as a mirror and does not care about some things. It may seem like a loss, but it is a rare and great wisdom.
It is rare to be confused by looking down on gains and losses. Only by letting yourself not deliberately care about the gains and losses of fame and fortune and putting your own growth first can you go further and further.
It seems like letting go now, but in fact it means more possession in the future.
Instead of worrying about some gains and losses, it can help you maintain your focus, keep yourself focused on the road ahead, and truly become a powerful person.
2 Keep exercising and study hard
I have read a sentence: "Exercise can make you go further, and reading can make you see further."
Only by loving sports can you keep your body healthy and make yourself happy. Travel all over the world.
If you love reading, you can expand your horizons and improve your knowledge. You can make your own situation bigger and bigger, and you can see farther and farther.
Therefore, if you want to make yourself better and better, you must have good habits of exercising and studying hard.
In today's impetuous world, many people feel that they often cannot remember the books they have read, and they feel that they are of no use.
In fact, the more you read, the more those words will sink into your temperament and conversation, and they will become the criteria and reference for you to treat everything in your daily life.
Reading is a process of slow accumulation. Maybe not much changes at the beginning, but if you read it carefully, you will slowly find that what you have read will become a part of your body.
Similarly, in addition to taking care of your soul through reading, you also want to take care of your body through exercise.
When you get used to a sport, your mood will gradually become more and more open, and your concentration on one thing will become higher and higher.
Of course, all the minor issues related to the body in daily life have disappeared.
Exercise and reading are the best ways to care for yourself. Once you start, don't stop easily.
3 Live a low-key life and do things with heart
There is a saying: "When a person does not have real talents and learning, he will tend to be high-profile everywhere; when a person is well-informed, he will live a low-key life instead."
In real life, there are too many People who "do nothing but half a bottle" show off in a high-profile manner; on the contrary, those who truly have strength make a fortune quietly and silently.
In fact, those who are high-profile think they can gain attention by showing off, but they forget that without real talent and learning, the shortcomings will eventually be exposed. As a result, being arrogant and arrogant towards others, relying on one's talents, never having a sense of awe, and not being able to tolerate other people in one's eyes ultimately makes it easier for oneself to offend others, and instead, one finds oneself in trouble everywhere.
Those who live a low-key life and do things with heart have always understood the principle of "there is heaven and there are people outside the world". Not showing off deliberately will prevent themselves from showing timidity, and they can go further and further by being down-to-earth and doing things.
There is a saying: "The earth is as low as the sea, and people are as low as the king."
Being low-key and doing things with heart is a kind of responsibility for oneself, and it is also a kind of wisdom for life.
4 Make regular summaries and let go of your burdens.
As the saying goes: "Stop for a moment and listen to your own voice. You will not let yourself get lost and hesitate."
In the impetuous present, we are busy every day and only want to move forward. We often forget the original intention of setting out on the road in the first place. It seems that we have gone very far, but in fact we have already deviated from the original route.
If you want to make yourself better, you need to summarize regularly and put down your baggage, so that you can learn from experience, travel lightly, not get lost, let alone go astray, and keep moving quickly towards your inner goal.
In reality, many people’s troubles come from just rushing on the road and not having time to stop and summarize the gains and losses, so that they can learn from the journey and avoid mistakes, so they become more and more busy, but they also feel Getting less and less.
As a human being, you need to organize your mind regularly, put down what should be put down, forget what should be forgotten, and remember what should be remembered. Only in this way can you free up more space to absorb more knowledge and keep yourself at your best. In good condition, keep moving forward courageously.
Please remember that to make yourself better and better, don’t just wait blindly, but through these good habits, you should learn something, do something, and make a little change to go further and further!
