The wind can go through thorns.
Life is like the wind.
What an old metaphor. You may think it comes and goes in a hurry without a trace; I waded through mountains and rivers, scouring the gravel in time and space, and found the true meaning of this metaphor:
Only the wind can cross the thorns.
Dickinson described life as the inside and outside of the wall, and we climbed layer by layer. In fact, these layers of fences are covered with thorns, and when we walk by, we are often bruised and exhausted. At this time, you can see the wind outside the wall winding and roaring mercilessly, leaving spectacular traces in the air.
We are on the eternal journey of life, running in bumps, and in setbacks, Nie NB 02 1 # is full of sadness and pain. We are tired, but we can't stop; We are bitter, but we cannot avoid it. Sunshine and rain are coming, flying sand and stones, and we are covered in scars, but we have to face the thorny jungle.
Thoreau said, "You can hear the sound of the river here. The ancient wind that lost its name rustled through our Woods. " Perhaps looking back at ancient times, we can understand the true meaning of life like the wind.
Su Shi sees the wind. This once brilliant literati began to be down and out because of the Huangzhou poetry case, and was besieged on all sides. On the moonlit night in Chibi, he was disheartened, looking at "the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains" and dreaming of his dancing crane. Faced with the frustration as deep as a river, he saw the wind whistling and circling at the top of the mountain, and then crossed the dark thorn forest with the pain of tearing the body and cracking the bones. In a flash, the lump in his heart and the twining pain went with the wind. Frustration, pain, only forgetting.
Epiphany.
So he lived happily in the world of mortals, sent his feelings to the mountains and rivers, and finally became immortal. However, the wind that night has been lost in the years, and no one can see it. ...
Van Gogh saw the wind. He lay lazily in the sunflower field, entangled in a difficult problem and pain: none of the paintings that exhausted his hard work were understandable and could not be sold! For a person who regards art as his life, no one appreciates his art as if no one values his life. This is a great pain of being despised and despised! This is the biggest setback in a person's life!
Fortunately, he saw a gust of wind passing through the sunflower field. The wind was stopped and roared angrily. But, they moved on! Forward! They succeeded in spite of being scratched by the swaying branches.
So he also succeeded.
Paintings like Sunflower are priceless and rare until today, shortly after his death.
……
There are too many stories about the wind.
When the wind blows the horn through a silent forest of thorns, I believe many wise eyes have seen everything it shows.
Only the wind can cross the thorns.
Only by learning the wind can we despise all setbacks, let the pain disappear and let the happiness overflow the journey!

The flowers bloom luxuriantly.
Only through hellish tempering can we forge the power to create heaven; Only bloody fingers can play the swan song of the world.
Tagore
Everyone has a dream, big or small, but it is so sacred and pious. But it is precisely because of this lofty hope that people are so fragile and at a loss when setbacks come.
In the face of setbacks, we tend to magnify the pain involuntarily, as the netizen said: "Some people can accidentally break an egg and magnify it into the pain of losing a chicken farm." This reminds me of a story I heard not long ago. A young woman from Henan lives alone in Chongqing and is going to commit suicide because of frustration. An organization called "Life Helpline" did everything possible to save her. After waking up, the young woman was grateful and realized that she was too impulsive.
In fact, this is the evil result of infinitely amplifying pain when setbacks come.
We often hear such words-"It was too painful at that time", "I was so angry at that time" and "Life was really worse than death at that time.
Go to hell! "……
These all mentioned "at that time". Was it really that terrible at that time? In the face of setbacks, can we only choose the road of "amplifying pain"?
Look at history! Our ancestor Gui Youguang ranked in the last eight places, so there was such a meaningful article as Selected Records of Ji Xiang. Wellington, a British general, suffered seven defeats and seven wars, so he has a reputation that lasts forever; Gou Jian, the King of Yue, did his best, so there is such a rhetoric as "everything comes to him who waits, heaven rewards hard work"! Don't say that setbacks are invincible. Real warriors dare to face dripping blood and bleak life. Don't say that pain can only be amplified, the real wise will only regard this pain as the driving force for progress!
"At that time", did the meaning of that time leave only pain and sadness?
At that time, Li Bai was not valued by the imperial court, but he did not lose heart. A hymn is heroic "Oh, how can I solemnly bow and scrape to people of high rank and position"!
In "At that time", Tao Qian didn't like official corruption, collusion between officials and people, but he didn't hurt himself. There is a song that is the spirit of "Don't bend over for a bucket of rice"!
"At that time", Madame Curie was suffering from blood cancer, but she never gave up on herself. The first sentence she said was the tenacity of "the road to success is not with tears but with blood"!
"So" ...
At that time, we really shouldn't magnify the pain. Smart people will not stand on the ruins and cry, so that we have great wisdom to face difficulties.
Frustration is like a pen,
Pain is ink,
During this long journey,
We have succeeded.
In the face of setbacks.
We sing:
For a time, a hundred flowers blossom!

Take control of your own life journey
With the growth day by day, the journey of life becomes more and more difficult, and the road ahead is full of thorns and bumps. Although there is no mountain higher than people and no road longer than feet, should we "go our own way" like Dante, or be Polish "people who often ask for directions", or learn from Leonardo da Vinci's "seriously consider" others' words, or listen to senac's epigram? It seems that I have to grasp it myself.
As the saying goes, self-confidence can give people infinite strength. Isn't it? We must be confident before doing anything. No matter whether the problem is easy or difficult, believe in your own ability and believe that you are the best. This is one of the most basic conditions. Helen Keller is full of confidence. Although she can't hear, speak or see, she firmly believes that she can work miracles. She is a great man who is blind but not blind, deaf but unambiguous, dumb and not inferior to ordinary people, and is called "the greatest figure in the 20th century" by the world. What a lofty honor it is! What does she depend on? It is her firm belief and great self-confidence. Zheng Fengxi, who was lame in his early years, was told that he could not go to school, but he was full of confidence. He not only went to school, but also won the first prize every year. Others say that he can't ride a bike, but he is full of confidence, smashing the bike to pieces before using it as his own foot; Others said that he would be lame all his life, but he was full of confidence and said to his family and himself from an early age: I must stand up and wear leather shoes. Finally, he did it. With his amazing self-confidence, he kept his boat in the Wang Yang from capsizing under the attack of strong winds and waves. We lament that these celebrities are really excellent. Where do they stand out? Is that they are more confident than ordinary people-they believe in themselves.
Of course, if we want to take the road of life well, we still need to listen to other people's opinions, but not everyone's opinions we should absorb, but we should discard the false and retain the true, and extract the essence from the rough. Only in this way can we find a shortcut to progress and not waste our youth. But in any case, most people who give us advice are out of kindness. We should accept it with an open mind, and then make wise choices according to our own situation through our own brains. As the saying goes, a good monarch must be able to listen to rumors with an open mind, not afraid of losing face, and understand "what made the mistake?" It would be nice if it were changed. Only in this way can we govern the country well and be a generation of wise kings, which will last forever. Everyone, not just the monarch, should do this, so as not to waste so many years of life, to feel that life is boring, and to be worthy of the life given by God.
Friend, don't forget to bring an exquisite business card, which can help you walk better-believe in yourself but listen to other people's opinions.

The canal is so clear.
You are very confident, and I am proud of China culture!
After thousands of years of experience, your gown has adhered to the belief of "modest gentleman" and fulfilled the agreement of "don't move until you are evil", and finally won the reputation of "the country of etiquette"! One day, however, Mr. Lu Xun told a farce in a sharp tone: in the tram, several Confucian scholars were modest and polite, bowing to the prime minister for a vacancy. While driving, these "gentlemen" who were still standing fell down humbly. Lu Xun's accusation stung the addiction that could not be cured for thousands of years!
A piece of splendid paper of yours sings the lingering feeling that "the golden wind and the jade dew will meet, and it will surely win countless people", reciting the sadness that "where will the wine wake up tonight, and the breeze in Yang Liuan will fade away", and finally edifies this ancient master who is proficient in melody and painting and calligraphy, and destroys a country. Until one day, Su Shi's "The River Never Returning" came to me, washed away the sour and decadent lyrics and opened up a new and heroic world. This is the suffocating atmosphere in China.
Your superb stereotyped writing has followed several dynasties and produced countless elites with profound knowledge and superb skills. In the face of foreigners who come to worship, treat them as "heterogeneous"; In the face of excellent gunboats, they are dismissive. Finally, one day, the fire-breathing shooting fell on their Hualing, so the idea of "saving the country by westernization" came into being. Modern shame begins with great self-confidence.
Almost stubborn persistence and blind congestion have made you fall behind in modern times. So you learned your lesson and accepted all kinds of foreign cultures generously.
You rudely knocked down a century-old house, and the bright red ebony was exposed in the thick columns. An old man collapsed to the ground, stroking the bricks with delicate patterns with his hands, and telling the story about the old house in a choked tone-a story with a long history and as beautiful as painting an eaves. Does your courage come from an urban planning with the title of "modernization"?
You resolutely put the yellowed ancient books into the fire, as if to burn the shame of this century. You take down the painter of Heishan Baishui and replace it with a well-printed advertisement; You close the heavy history books and turn to the plain vernacular. Therefore, children don't know the allusion of "Kong Rong let pears", and they become more and more arrogant and stubborn. Did your choice come from a reference note entitled "Modernization"?
You are still wrong.
The ancient sage Zhu said in a poem: "Ask where the canal is so clear, because there is flowing water at the source." If a culture wants to have long-term vitality, it must absorb the new from the old; If a culture wants to last forever, it needs to stick to itself.
Overconfidence in yourself will corrode you, and blindly following others will make you lost. The canal is so clear, my beloved China culture, can you flow so clearly in communication with the outside world?
