Open-minded, Ci Hai is interpreted as: broad-minded. Decades of life experience tells me that being open-minded is a positive attitude towards life. In real life, you will find that open-minded people are always broad-minded, natural and graceful, natural and unrestrained, enthusiastic and cheerful, healthy in thinking and optimistic. It was the calmness of leisurely walking; That is a broad-minded, magnanimous and generous mind; That is tolerance and dedication that is not afraid of loss and willing to lose; That is the wisdom and art of going to life and interacting with people. Open-minded people inject healthy strength and flame of thought into their lives. Even at the end of their lives, their eyes will radiate strange brilliance and their lives will shine brilliantly. Their lives are perfect.
Open-mindedness is a kind of calmness. Open-minded people always aim high and never care about personal trifles and small interests, just as Chen Meigong, an essayist in the Qing Dynasty, said in Notes on the Window: "Do not disgrace your mission and watch the flowers bloom before the court; I have no intention of staying long. I hope the sky is full of clouds. " What an open-minded and free-spirited attitude. In other words, when dealing with people, you can treat humiliation as normal as flowers bloom and fall, so you won't be surprised; It is unintentional to see the post change like a cloud. Being humiliated, not wanting to stay or stay, is easier said than done. In real life, the world of mortals is rolling, and all kinds of desires are everywhere. There are desires for money, power, love and comparison with others ... The world is boundless, and everyone stands at different heights and looks at these desires from different perspectives. People's desires, like ravines, are irresistible to ordinary people. Only when they have a considerable concentration in their hearts can we do this. Only by doing this can we calm our mind, put our position in order, have a happy view, laugh at life, see through the world of mortals and understand the world.
A few years ago, Professor Li Yanjie, a famous speaker of Chinese studies, wrote me a painting of Mo Bao: "From a distance, you will feel that the wind and waves are small, but when you fly in the air, you will know that things have changed." The mountain blocks the stone, the river flows eastward after all, and the plum blossom still blooms in the sun. "It is such an open-minded and free-spirited mentality. Li Lao's brave words tell us that if you look far away, you will find that the storm in front of you is not as big as you think. If you look down from the air, you will know that the sea is calm. Whether blocked by mountains or boulders, the raging river will flow eastward. Whether it is the freezing of snow or the cold beating of frost, plum blossoms are still proudly open. This encourages us to look further, to be more open-minded, to be more free-spirited, and to forge ahead towards the established lofty goals.
I remember the famous calligrapher Zhu Xueda wrote a picture for me: "indifferent and bright, quiet and far-reaching." Mo Bao is also such a mentality. This was written by Zhuge Liang to his 8-year-old son Zhuge Zhan at the age of 54. It is nothing more than "You can't be clear without indifference, and you can't be far without quietness." This is written in negative sentences. "Indifferent to Zhi Ming, quiet and far-reaching." People who do not pursue fame and fortune can make their interests noble, their mood stable and calm, and they can make a difference. It is an open-minded and philosophical state of mind.
Openness is a kind of broadmindedness, magnanimity and broadmindedness. Most open-minded people are generous and have no bad feelings. There is a saying that "a big belly can accommodate things that are difficult in the world." The idea of "the prime minister can punt in his stomach"; There is an imposing manner that embraces all rivers. Open-minded people, because of these tolerance and mind, will tolerate everything with a broad and noble mind. Writing here, I think of a painting of Mo Bao's "All rivers run into the sea" inscribed by Professor Li Yanjie. His next sentence is "Tolerance is great". Warning people: the sea can hold thousands of rivers, because it has such a broad mind, so it is the greatest in the world. This is also an open-minded and generous state of mind that people pursue.
Open-mindedness is a kind of tolerance and dedication that is not afraid of and willing to suffer losses. Open-minded people never care about trivial matters and small interests, can calmly face everything that happens in front of them, and always have a heart of "losing is a blessing". In the face of conflicts of interest, they would rather sacrifice their personal interests and obey the collective interests; I would rather sacrifice my own interests, fulfill the interests of others, and understand the beauty of adults, which expresses an open-minded and inclusive mentality. General Tian Yongqing, who is known as "a Confucian general in the army" and "Li Yanjie in the army", wrote a painting by Mo Bao entitled "Suffering is a blessing" for me, telling people that only by giving up short-term interests can they gain long-term benefits, and giving up is for better benefits, and only by learning to "suffer" can they benefit. "Eat small losses to take advantage of big ones" and "eat big losses to do big things". I remember that "loss is a kind of happiness" is a sentence written by Zheng Banqiao, who works as a county magistrate in Wei County, my neighboring county. Being willing to lose is not only a blessing, but also a more important attitude towards life than a blessing. You can still laugh happily when you lose, which shows that you are open-minded, generous and graceful. In real life, people who often take the initiative to suffer losses show not weakness and ignorance, but open-minded optimism. A careful understanding of Zheng Banqiao's famous saying may change our attitude towards life and make us open-minded and lead an open and free life.
Open-mindedness is a kind of wisdom and art to treat life and people. The attitude shown by an open-minded person is the wisdom and art to better achieve life and communicate with others. This is a free and easy life, a perfect life. Open-minded people regard the interests in life as trivial matters and the ups and downs in life as tempering. They are always full of self-confidence and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. Don't forget your enterprising spirit, constantly achieve yourself and achieve a brilliant life.
Open-minded, will make our mood suddenly enlightened; Will make our career suddenly smooth sailing; Will make our life suddenly clear. This is the open-minded attitude towards life that we want to pursue.
