The road too comfortable to walk, are downhill

01.

I'm anxious.

How can I put it? There is always a trepidation that if I am not careful, I will fall behind.

This mindset is similar to fear. It is also uncomfortable. However, looking back at where I came from, I realized that anxiety was also one of the motivating factors that made me grow.

Because of anxiety that everyone is progressing, only I am wandering in place, so efforts to improve themselves.

Because the anxiety of responsibility can not afford, the expectation is empty, so desperately stand up, to carry an adult should bear all.

I thought about it, if there is no external pressure or internal anxiety, I will easily succumb to inertia, get by and become mediocrity, or goodbye at self-congratulation of mediocrity.

Although I do not expect glory, mediocrity in life, or unwillingness.

So always in the anxiety, as much as I can spell.

The Norwegians have an interesting tradition.

Fishermen in the deep sea, found a large number of sardines, fishing up, ready to sell at a good price on land.

However, it takes a long time to return from the deep sea. Many sardines have died before they can be landed.

Later, someone came up with a brilliant idea -

In the sardine tank, put their natural enemy: catfish.

When the catfish entered the fish, each sardine was stressed, swimming desperately, bursting with life and vigor, and still alive and kicking until they were landed.

Catfish are eaten, only some of the old and sick - and the old and sick are not sold at a good price, it is not a pity to eat.

This is the catfish effect.

That is, in the face of strong pressure, the human combat mode will be activated, skills will be rapidly upgraded, and the enemy will be defeated one after another.

In other words, comfort is degrading, worry is powerful.

Geneticists also tell us about the history of human reproduction: Yes, that's right. The more restless the group, the greater the chance of survival.

For example, in primitive times, the more alert to the environment, the more anxious about survival, they are also the most skilled at arming themselves, defending themselves against foreign enemies, and avoiding attacks by fierce animals.

Many brave and warlike peoples were invincible in famine and mourning, but after they seized power, with glory and riches and beautiful women at their sides, there will gradually decline and soon went into decline.

Modern society is the same, "less work, more money, less pressure, close to home, free time" on the position, never out of the great people.

Only people who are anxious about the status quo and dissatisfied with themselves will think about change and innovation, ushering in a new situation and civilization.

The road that goes too comfortably is all downhill.

The people who live most comfortably are the ones who bog down.

You can hardly be at the bottom of the well of comfort and see the flying dragon whistling out.

It's also hard to see the horse that travels a thousand miles a day in the zoo's feedlot.

It is even more difficult to see in a broad wife, she suddenly made a great achievement, blinding the world's eyes.

When life is smooth, people will lose their sense of crisis, rest on their laurels, get by, be short-sighted, mentally stagnant, have skills degraded, and be unable to cope with any big changes.

The times do not stop for anyone.

It is the wind that rises and sweeps over everything, and everyone is in its gravity. It emits a loud sound of silence: if you want to live, then work hard.

Some people say, "I want to work hard too, but I find that the harder I work, the more anxious I get.

I admit that this is true.

But it's a given.

If you have a goal, but also have the energy to not stop until the goal, then, anxiety is your shadow, you can not get rid of.

Because, survival is "into the circle of ten thousand mountains, a mountain to let go of a mountain to stop" thing, to overcome this problem, and will usher in the next challenge.

Challenges are endless, and anxiety is inevitable.

In that case, we might as well make friends with it.

"Let's do it this way, anxiety students, we two seem to be inseparable from each other, in that case, let's do something together, you urge, I perform, together with the vitality of life!"

This is how anxiety turns from pressure to motivation and becomes your invincible weapon.

05.

I sometimes want to be lazy. And there are always excuses to be lazy if you want to find them.

However, as soon as I stop, the anxiety will burst, so I can not rest. I think it's better to make time to do something than to suffer so much.

This is the reason why many of my friends say, "Actually, work is more realistic than idleness".

In this motivation, people will always be on the road, always walk, always look, always harvest, and always grow.

Mencius said: "If you enter the country, you will have no law, and if you leave the country, you will have no enemies and foreign patients, and your country will always die.

The meaning is: without internal supervision and spurring, external threats and pressure, any existence will go down the drain.

It is only in a challenging internal and external environment that human inertia, boredom, and the bad habit of leaning on the old, will be curbed. And in that vacant place, God will hand you something better: cleverness, a fighting spirit, and a young heart.

Finally, I want to tell you: the years are never quiet, the present world is never peaceful, and if you are in this life, it can only mean that -

1, someone is carrying the weight for you. But the cost of being pampered and cared for as a giant baby is also tragic. You will lose the initiative of your destiny. If the weight-bearer goes rogue, you will fall into the abyss as if there is nothing you can do.

In the end, all the bridges have to be crossed by yourself. All the paths have to be traversed by yourself.

2, the so-called "carefree life", has already been marked by fate in the dark at a huge price, in the future one day, you will be surprised to find: this is an early consumption, and the rest of your life, will be a heavy price, to pay the principal + interest for it.
