Giving and receiving are two
Giving and receiving are two opposite concepts. The first word "Shedu" came from "Fan Sichuan". After it was introduced into China, it quickly merged with the traditional Laozhuang Taoist thought and became a kind of philosophy of "Zen". All things in the world are relative, have to give to get, to get must give up. For example, a man takes a boat across the river, the boat is full of half life's treasure, but the boat is going to sink in the middle of the river, what to do? There is only one choice: give up your treasure and get your life! There is a story: Two hunters were pursued by hungry wolves, both of them with guns and heavy gold. But none of the bullets were in the gun. While crossing a river, the two men separated. One of them gave up his gold and his gun and fell down; The other gave up his gold and his gun to fight the Wolf and survive. Give up your worldly possessions and get life. Mencius said: "Fish, I also want; Bear's paw, also I want also. You can't have both, but the bear's paw instead of the fish." Sacrifice oneself for others, sacrifice one's life, sacrifice one's own for the public, give up greed to worry, give up fame and gain quiet, give up all unselfish thoughts to be a down-to-earth man... It all goes to show us that what you give is what you get. "Willing" is easy to say, but it is not easy to do. People focus more on getting and less on giving up. The ancients said, "Give what you would take." This dialectical thought is the relationship between giving and receiving. You work, you have to give strength to gain; You study, you have to give up time to get knowledge; When you do business, you have to give up the cost to get the return; When you become an official, you have to give up comfort to get a brilliant life. From ancient times to the present, there are countless celebrities who have made achievements that will remain memorable for centuries. They all have confidence and understanding of the word "willing". The same is true of including things. Snakes grow in their molts, gold is taken out in the gravel, and trees have to be pruned before they can bear more fruit. Being willing is not only a philosophy of life, but also an art of doing things. Indeed, willing is a kind of spirit, willing is a kind of understanding, willing is a kind of maturity, willing is a kind of wisdom, is a kind of life of the highest realm!On a Sunday morning last winter, the sun was shining brightly, but the air was very dry and the wind was whipping in. The dead leaves followed all over the ground, swirling all over the sky. The pedestrians on the road have rubbed their hands, bowed their heads and hurried past, only an elderly couple walking in the street is walking so calmly and enjoying, with a light smile on their face, like layers of ripples on spring water, looking at them, I seem to feel the warmth around me, unconsciously slowing down and focusing on it. The husband had an old blue cloth bag on his right wrist, and pushed the wheelchair with both hands, walking with great care; The woman sitting in the wheelchair was the wife whose eyes were a little glazed, but whose smile was sweet. She was wrapped in a large and thick layer of cotton clothing, cotton hat, ear muffs, masks, gloves, cotton shoes all cold items in her body almost used, in this "fully armed", I seem to see her wife that love her heart. After walking for a while, the husband found a row of chairs and pushed the wheelchair to the side. Later, I felt that it was not appropriate, and I looked at the road warily and pushed the wheelchair to my side. Completely relieved, the husband began to chat with his wife - only the husband is talking, it is estimated that some parents are short, very tedious. But the wife just smiled at the husband's earnest. Face, listen patiently, smile will be more brilliant. Suddenly, the wife's leg covered by the blanket was blown off, the husband was busy to pick it up, and carefully help her cover it, and worry about something, and then push the wheelchair on the road. This scene is short, but romantic This scene is silent, but warm. On the road, the bright sunshine is still cold, the fallen leaves and dead branches are still shivering in the cold wind, the wind is roaring wildly. However, when I stared at the back of the old couple, my heart was filled with only full and warm happiness. Happiness does not necessarily come from ourselves, as long as we can stay close to the sun, we can warm ourselves. Seeing others happy together can also be a touch of happiness in our hearts. Though only one

will walk far from you. Content Warning.
"I will walk far from you, climb high will humble." It was this class meeting that left me the deepest impression. This famous saying from "The Mean" tells us that climbing high must start from a low place, and traveling far must start from a near place. In fact, not only climbing, traveling, in life, learning we should learn this spirit. Miss Zhou Hua made a wonderful report for us. From this experience, I understand that the acquisition of excellent success and experience depends on their own efforts, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In this process, we must not only work hard, but also consciously! Do your own thing by yourself. Relying too much on others will become a stumbling block. Don't think it is a small thing not to do, a house does not sweep, how can sweep the world? Not everyone can learn Olympic math, to find something suitable for themselves. Everyone must have a specialty, but this does not refer to the Olympic math, English... It may be excellent eloquence, beautiful writing, exquisite painting, graceful singing... .... What suits you is the best! How big the heart is, how big the stage is; How big a man's goal is, how far he can go. Do not confine yourself to a small stage, perhaps it is very beautiful, but it does not fully show your style! Don't be satisfied with small achievements, you may be better! A little more courage! A little more confidence! You can do it! Let us with broad goals, towards the stage of success! Open your mind to imagination! Open your mind, the answer will be more, the road will be longer, the day will be wider... Can open their mind, to imagine, to enrich. However, do not open your behavior to indulgence! Make self-awareness a quality. Quality is beautiful, is noble '; It's cumulative over time; Consciousness is simple, is noble; It's imperceptible. Let us bring this good quality with our growth..... Let us keep in mind on the way to growth: success = effort + consciousness!As the saying goes, brothers with one heart break gold, a good team must be a concentric team, such a team can have combat effectiveness, concentric people must first have the same heart, The same heart is to the same direction with the same goal, without the same goal and direction can not be a hard, such a team even with unique advantages can not be accomplished, Liu Zhang's team in the three countries is such a team, although they have Xichuan natural danger, but the people are different hearts, some people fight, there are people and more Zhang Song with a secret map vendor to seek glory, such a group It's hard for a team to go undefeated. Concentric must also be selfless heart no doubt heart, selfishness and suspicion will not be united, the team will be in chaos, will intrigue each other, the three countries Zhang Lu's team is so, Zhang Lu's adviser Yang Song for the greed of money and selfishness, from which to provoke, resulting in Zhang Lu on the general Ma Chao suspicious, forcing Ma Chao down Liu Bei, so that their loss of combat effectiveness into defeat. And Liu Bei's team is more concentric, although starting from scratch, still established not small achievements. Concentric people are not only the same heart, that is, the same direction and the same goal, but also the same garden, that is, to take the leader of the team as the garden. This requires that the leader of the garden must be fair and just, and keep an equal distance from all subordinates, so that the team can form a garden with itself as the center, so that the team can run quickly. It must not be near here and far away from here and far away from there can not form a garden, and it will be difficult to run, and near here and far from there will inevitably form gangs, and there will be unity within a team if there are gangs. A disunited team will fail even if it has the same direction and goal. In the war of liberation, Chiang had a legitimate department and a non-legitimate department, and there were obvious differences between close and distant, although there was a strong military force, many of his generals and departments sincerely wanted to eliminate their opponents, and they had the same direction and the same goal, but as the center of Chiang failed to maintain the same distance with his subordinates, resulting in gangs and could not work together. Can only lose ground. Therefore, a good team must be concentric, both the same heart, but also the same garden, only in this way can be truly concentric and invincible.

When I was young. Content Warning.
When I was young, it was not easy to read the Bible, although the text of a book like the Analects was not difficult to understand, but it was a difficult thing to sit down and read patiently. Compared with reading the Bible, I still like to read history, like reading a story to read history, far more interesting than reading the Bible. Reading history, of course, read the original history. School history textbooks are not real history. As a student, although my history score is still relatively good, but the memory of the historical events arranged by people is far from my interest. In contrast, I prefer historical works that are not short of images and diverse characters. School textbooks are too dry and uninspiring by comparison. Reading consulting and governance is a matter after participating in the work, I have always felt that Chinese people lack the broad and profound Westerners in academic aspects. After reading the consultation, I realized that the ancient Chinese were not bad at all in academics, which is really the reason that the writers and scholars who are known to us today are not as good as the ancients. In addition to giving me the feeling of believing in history in historical facts, those advices preserved in it also let me see the ancient people's ability in writing and reasoning, and almost all articles have the ability to learn. These opinions can be read as political opinions, but also can be read as literary works, refined and thorough reading feeling reading is much more pleasant than reading the ancient articles. As a history book with the purpose of supporting governance, the real historical records and a large number of words on governance make people have the significance of reference after reading. Zhizhi Tongjian is an ancient history book, naturally written in classical Chinese, if one wants to improve the ability of classical Chinese, very suitable for reading. For a while, I listened to other people's advice and read Liaozhai in order to improve my classical Chinese ability, but I gave up halfway through. Probably this kind of writing, writing history and prose are good, writing novels is not suitable. Some books need to be read slowly, and Zhizhi Tongjian is a great work of history, like a palace. Slowly appreciate, there are often surprises and discoveries.The moonlight is like water, and the waves are gently touching my heart. The moon circulating in the bricks of Qin Dynasty, the poems of Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, the moon floating in the waters of Qinhuai and the waves of the East China Sea, the moon shuttling in the flowers, leaves and osmanthus branches, shining on you, also shining on me... ... Sweet cinnamon accompanied by the silver moonlight, flowing in the small courtyard, quietly surrounding me. I think I like the moon. Fifteen of the moon like a disc made of white jade, bright and clear hanging in the deep sky above, from time to time the breeze blew through a few clouds, like a veil to the moon, increase the mystery of the moon, the stars densely fix around the moon, the moon will be separated fragmented, the moon's light, dark shadow, at this time to see the tree will have a sense of separation and outline. Moonlight sprinkled on the walls, the walls like a layer of powder; When the moonlight flows into the water, you can see the waves of light floating in the water; The moonlight fell on the rose, the deep red petals like silver plating, the dark green stem in the moonlight also appeared to stand tall, we gave the moon praise and aria, it wants to be the messenger of ancient times and present, narrow the distance between us and the ancients, connecting two different times, "today people do not see the ancient moon, This month has now according to the ancients "its broad and even" the moon hanging high in the sky, bright. According to the mountains, according to the garden fences, according to the ancient people in the book, according to you and me." It's a rope! It's a stool! It is also our sustenance. Month is a good pronoun. "Toast to invite the moon, the film into three people" of loneliness, "but Huai Yi Zhuang thought fly, to the bright moon on the sky" lofty ambition. "Autumn equinox to promote the sequence, the moon is correct according to the son of the river" magnificent, "a bright moon hanging sunny days, a few sparse star moon Bihan" the ethereal clear. Month in the poem is broad pearl jade, is endless feelings of grace. I wonder if it is still day after day and year after year? I do not know whether the Chang 'e who eats Chang 'e Dan medicine is repenting and weeping against the cold Moon Palace? Relative to "people have sorrow and joy, the moon has Yin and qing circle", we prefer to send out "I hope people for a long time, a thousand miles of the moon" blessing!

After the cherry blossoms. Content Warning.
After the cherry blossoms fell, I could not afford to see the flowers any more. Late April, the end of spring. From the initial flowering sprout to bloom, a lot of flowers are written in a spring. In the depths of spring, the large clusters of flowers are better than the wildflowers found by the roadside. The exuberant vitality of wildflowers, in the suburban wind, facing the rain and dew of the sun and moon, vigorous and proud to open. Do not provoke spring breeze, do not surprise passers-by. Prefer those who are not good at drilling, let it be spontaneous and natural. Deliberate things, may be clever, but always feel unattractive. On that day he came to the peach garden and passed through the pear flower field. Deep sigh, so beautiful. Bathing in the flowers, playing in the flowers, is joyful, but also happy. For pink pear white, is light joy, like the eye. But the wildflowers I met recently are lonely and determined. One is fun, one is independent. Simply fell in love with this legacy and independent posture, do not ask, do not contend for beauty, do not make spring, do not deliberately. Is that kind of persistence, in their own feelings, write their own. Friendship. For them, it is deep love, deep love. The spring is deep and the flowers are tired. Landing, reborn. Between shallow joy and deep love, are flowers. I am afraid that I am tired to see the heart of flowers, and have nothing to send. Shallow joy will be pleasing to the eye, deep love will run the heart, but people can not mention flowers tired. Look at the two hate, originally is a pretence of beauty, and do not want to spend years relative. It's like love. Light love, from amazing to hate, may not be enough time for a flower. Classic love is the snow lotus on the iceberg cultivated by years of care. I don't know, is seeing the beauty of flowers, just gave birth to fatigue. Or originally for these short flowering period, no expectations. Therefore, there is no beginning and no end. Pale heart, full of a person's Qinghuan. Such beautiful flowers, will make life tired. We mortals in the world, often relative, how can long without the heart of boredom?He has had the habit and hobby of raising pigeons for many years. He works alone at a food station in the country. He built a shelter on the roof of his house where he kept the pigeons' food. There's corn, soybeans, wheat, and special pigeon feed. Carefully counted down, he has been raising pigeons for more than 20 years. He especially likes pigeons, white, grey, blue and so on. His wife was a country girl. The dove became their matchmaker. That day she went to a blind date, and when she saw him raising so many pigeons, she felt that the man in front of her must have love, and she would not be wrong to marry him. And she married him. Working at a food station, he works with pigs every day. Collect and sell pigs and be responsible for their profits and losses. Many farmers have difficulty raising pigs and selling them. At that time, he rented a motor boat to collect pigs by the river. The farmers on both sides of the river know that he comes to collect pigs, and everyone will sell them to him, the price is moderate, and the old do not coax the little do not deceive. In addition to raising pigs, he keeps more than 300 pigeons. Every morning, before the sun came up, he went to the roof and looked at the lovely pigeons. The sound of pigeons, very kind, very warm. One day, he received a letter from the pigeon association, saying that there would be a pigeon competition, starting from his hometown in Hechuan, Chongqing, and flying to Lanzhou, with a lot of prizes. He tried his hand at pigeon racing. Thousands of kilometers? I don't know if my pigeons are capable? Pigeon keepers are heading to Lanzhou to wait for the results. He was waiting for his pigeon to arrive first. Oh, my God, it's a miracle. How did this pigeon know this direction after traveling all over the world? He was puzzled in his heart.
