If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand. From that poem

explanation: if people don't have a long-term plan, they will have upcoming worries. Logically, people have today's worries because they haven't thought long before. It can also be understood that people have never given long-term consideration, and that worry must be close at hand.

The so-called "people who have no long-term worries must have near worries", [2] this is a causal cycle. Because today is the fruit of another day, if we don't plan for another day today, he will certainly have many worries when he becomes today, so he can't help but make efforts.

If it is interpreted as "a person who has no long-term consideration is bound to have immediate worries." Inevitably, people are puzzled: why not make long-term considerations (long-term considerations) and will soon face a crisis (near-worry)? On the contrary, if we don't think long-term today, a crisis will break out in the future. If interpreted purely from the superficial meaning, this sentence seems to have doubts about the inversion of time and space.

today's sorrow is caused by yesterday. What related decisions made yesterday were not correct, and what yesterday did was not enough for GAI, which caused today's bitter fruit? If you start over, what mistakes can be avoided? Then to recognize and understand the causal relationship between these things. After re-reviewing, we can not only learn lessons and experience, but also strengthen our understanding of the related effects of things and increase our decision-making judgment. As the saying goes, "You don't gain wisdom without adding something" is what it means.

if you think deeply, you will be suddenly enlightened. The so-called "people who have no long-term worries must have near worries" should mean that the problems (worries) they are facing now are caused by the thoughtless actions before; Similarly, if what you do today is not well thought out for a long time, you will surely taste the bitter fruit in the future. Therefore, this sentence not only reminds us to be "foresight", but also points out a main point: everything must be "self-inflicted", which is everyone's cognition. Re-savoring the phrase "If a man has no foresight, he will have immediate worries", in addition to being alert to himself, thinking deeply about today's things, he should also make plans for the future, which is called "foresight".

"People who have no long-term worries must have near worries." This is an old proverb, full of the wisdom of ancestors, warning people to plan ahead, don't always look at what is in front of them, and forget the long-term expectation of people's active struggle.

On the other hand, it can also be said: "People who have no immediate worries must have long-term concerns." This is because if you can't even handle the things in front of you and your life is getting more and more confused, then life will eventually be a mess. People who are satisfied in real life without worry are not necessarily happy, because they always think of the unreachable and unpredictable future. Therefore, the present and the future must be interrelated, and the curve of struggle must be focused and continuous in order to have a good life journey. On the contrary, those who live in difficulties are always busy dealing with everything in front of them, but it is also easy to "be content." Byron said: "Busy, there is no time to cry." Isn't that the truth? Only when we are in hardship can we hone ourselves, and we can continue to get happiness after breaking through difficulties.

According to my long-term experience in education, I feel more and more far-sighted in this sentence. "Foresight" refers to long-term planning, which not only refers to specific event planning, but also the planning of life path, or pursuit. From the perspective of educational practice, the most important thing for a person is ideal education and life planning. If a person lacks ideal pursuit and life planning, he will not only taste the bitter fruit in the future, but also pay a painful price because of his carelessness and randomness.

Confucius should be emphasizing the importance of future planning. When a person has a pursuit and a plan, he will be strict with himself in order to achieve this goal, which will not only ensure that he can accomplish this goal, but also improve his behavior and make himself act smoothly in this process. And if there is no long-term pursuit, no requirements for himself, sloppy behavior, and no serious responsibility for anything, then from now on he will face the blame and difficulties of others.

Confucius' image

near worries." A complex sentence of hypothetical relationship can be explained as follows: if people do not consider the long term, then worries will certainly appear in the near future. It means that people should be far-sighted and think long-term. In fact, this is a prepositional object sentence, which can be changed as follows: "If people are not worried about the distance, they will be worried about the near".

this is a famous saying of Confucius. Wei Linggong, the Analects of Confucius: "Confucius said: People who have no long-term worries must have near worries." "The Analects of Justice" explains: "If you worry about it not far away, your worries will come, so it is called near worries." "Xunzi's Outline" says: "Think about things first, worry about suffering first. Take care of things first, and then you can succeed. If you worry about suffering first, you will be prepared, and if you are prepared, you will not be born. Those who worry about things later are called sleepy, and when they are sleepy, there is no defense. " However, people should be far-sighted and calendar is valued by Confucianism.
