Insights on life

Leave nothing to learn to stand on your own


Since ancient times, most of the rich people's treatment of wealth is generally reserved for future generations. However, in the richest man in the United States, there has been a new fashion in recent years, that is, don't leave too much property for future generations, lest they are happy and they can't afford it. The practitioners of this style include the famous Microsoft founder Bill Gates and the investor Warren Buffett.

The reason why modern rich people have such a concept may be due to the lessons left by Ross Chad. Ross Chad is the rich man of Babbitt's older generation. He left all his property to his son Raphael. But Rafael was found dead on a sidewalk in New York two years after his continued inheritance. He died of heroin abuse and was only 23 years old.

The Carnegie Foundation of the United States has conducted a survey. Among the children who continue to have assets of more than $150,000, 20% of them have given up their jobs, and they have been indulging in eating and drinking all day long until they are ruined; others are lonely and spirited. Topic, or something that is illegal.

Indeed, living between heaven and earth, self-reliance is the most important issue in life. A generation of great educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi has a poem written well: "Drop your own blood, flow your own sweat, do your own thing, rely on Laozi, relying on the earth, not a good man." Life is the most dependable What is it? It is knowledge, intelligence, and sweat. People often say that "it depends on people to fill the grass, relying on people to eat a bowl of soup." Parents can't rely on their lives for life, let alone others? Therefore, the most reliable in the world is not others, but oneself.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang, a prostitute in the Xinjiang border, returned to his hometown, and in Changsha, he was planning to leave a luxurious residence for future generations. He was always afraid of craftsmen cutting corners, and he personally took a cane to the construction site to supervise the workers. He touched it here and knocked on it. An old craftsman saw that he was so uneasy, he said, "Adult, rest assured. I have lived so much age, and I have created a lot of things in Changsha. I have never made a house in my hand. It collapsed, but the owner of the house is a common thing. "After listening to Zuo Zongtang, he did not feel shy and sighed.

As a famous minister, Lin Zexu is much more open about the issues of children and grandchildren. He once said: "If the children and grandchildren want me money, what is the money? If the wise and rich, it will damage their ambitions; the children and grandchildren will not do what I want, what do you want to do? You will be rich and wealthy." It is better to leave more knowledge, and future generations may not be able to preserve wealth, but they must use knowledge to create wealth.

Thus, wealth is precious, but more valuable than wealth is knowledge.

So smart, you should understand that it is better to leave knowledge than to leave wealth, so that future generations learn to stand on their own feet. Don't think that if you leave someone, you can't live! Only those who are self-reliant will have a way to save themselves.

There is such a story in ancient Greek mythology:

When Heracles, the son of Zeus, was a child, she had met two goddesses, one called the goddess of virtue, and one called the goddess of evil. The evil goddess said to him: "Children, let me go! Pack you have endless glory and wealth! What do you want, I will satisfy you!"

The goddess of virtue said to him, "Child, let me go! I will teach you to go forward! And you will be strong in the process of overcoming the dangers!"

Hercules thought about it and decided to follow the goddess of virtue. After that, he was born and died. He became so powerful in the process of defeating countless snakes and beasts. He has made great achievements for mankind and became the most outstanding hero in Greek mythology! And it is because of this that he I married the goddess of youth - the husband of the goddess of youth!

I really admire the profound and profound ancient Greeks of the ancient Greeks. It turns out that "whatever is there is not only happiness, but also a kind of evil! On the contrary, only consciously challenging the suffering is the most rational choice in life. !

Whatever life is there, you can get sensory comfort, but it won't give you any gains in your vitality, talent, and morality.

"Tian Xingjian, gentlemen are struggling to make progress." The objective world is constantly moving forward and the society is constantly advancing. Therefore, those who are willing must constantly strive to be self-reliant and constantly update themselves.

As Wen Tianxiang said: "The reason why a gentleman enters, can't, it's a day."

At the age of 10, the father of the former Soviet rocket, Tsiolkovsky, was infected with scarlet fever and sustained high fever for several days, causing serious complications, which made him almost completely lose his hearing and became a half-squat. He silently endured the ridicule of the children and the pain of not being able to continue school. His father is a forest guard and runs all day long. Therefore, the burden of teaching him to read and write fell on his mother. Through his mother's patient and meticulous explanation and coaching, he progressed very quickly. However, when he was self-study with confidence, his mother died of illness, and this sudden blow made him suffer great pain. He didn't understand why the road to life was so difficult? Why did so many misfortunes fall on his head? What should he do in the future? The father stroked his head and said, "Children! Have aspirations and walk down on your own efforts. "Yes! The school does not accept, others ridicule, and only rely on themselves in the future! The young Tsiolkovsky has since started a real self-study path. He has been reading college textbooks from national textbooks and middle school textbooks, and has taught himself physics, chemistry, calculus, and analytic geometry. In this way, a deaf person, a person who has not received any guidance from a professor, a person who has never been to a secondary school or a higher education institution, has finally become a knowledgeable scientist because of his consistent diligent self-study and hard research. Rocket technology and interstellar navigation laid the theoretical foundation. ??

It is unrealistic to rely on others to obtain happiness. It can only make your future dim; the road is farther away, and the thorns are on the way. As long as you go, bravely go to the thorns, you will be able to go to your destination.
