Material Supermarket Material 1 Two young men accidentally discovered an advertisement that could turn water into gasoline. They were so happy that they immediately bought the so-called information in the advertisement and studied it day and night. They have been unsuccessful. After an unknown amount of time, one of the young men discovered through the knowledge he had learned these days that it was impossible to turn water into gasoline, so he resolutely gave up and turned to business; before leaving, he persuaded another young man : "What we are going to do is not in line with the laws of nature at all. Stop messing around." But the young man who was still researching didn't listen at all. He raised his head and replied: "As long as you persist, I believe you will succeed." Five years later, the young man who turned to business has become a millionaire, and his business talent has been praised by many people; while the other young man still failed time and time again in his research, and he finally became crazy due to serious illness. Admitted to the hospital due to mental delusions. Points to think about: Because there are too many stories of persistence to the end, people often think that persistence and giving up are always contradictory, praising persistence but despising giving up. In fact, persistence represents a kind of tenacious perseverance, which is like a motor that constantly drives people towards success. However, moving forward requires certain skills. Sometimes if you go in the wrong direction, you will go further and further away. At this time, it is only wise to give up first and wait until you find the right direction before trying again. It can be seen that in order to seize success in life, we must not only learn to persist, but also learn how to give up rationally. Material 2: Once when Gandhi was taking a train, one of his shoes fell to the track. The train had already started and the shoe could not be picked up again. So Gandhi hurriedly took off the other shoe and threw it next to the first shoe. A passenger asked Gandhi in confusion why he did this. Gandhi smiled and said: "No matter how expensive these shoes are, it is useless to keep one of them. Throw this one out too. The poor man who picked up the shoe beside the railway track You can get a pair of shoes." Thinking about something that was originally very frustrating, having the old man deal with it in this way gives people a feeling of comfort. Since there is no possibility of success in your efforts, it is better to give up than to persist hopelessly and labor in vain. Sometimes giving up at the right time will allow us to let go of some unnecessary burdens, and we will also see new hope arising from giving up something. Philosophers say that when one door closes, another door may open for you. Material Three: Isaac Asimov, the world's top science fiction writer, once engaged in biochemistry research and teaching. During his teaching and research, he discovered that he had a talent for writing science fiction novels, so he made a calm and objective analysis of himself. : "I might become a first-rate scientist if I don't leave, but I might become a first-rate science fiction novelist." Asimov resolutely bid farewell to university classrooms and laboratories, returned home, and specialized in writing. Asimov's clever abandonment made him a brilliant achievement in creating 480 science fiction works in his life, and also won him the honorary title of the most prestigious science fiction novelist in the world. Points to think about: Giving up is sometimes painful, but if you cannot bear the temporary pain, it may cause lifelong pain. At that time, Asimov chose to abandon the laboratory and the platform where he lived day and night. He was undoubtedly painful in his heart, but it was precisely because he withstood the pain that he later achieved great success.
Not giving up would be Asimov's lifelong pain and regret, and even a regret for the world. Asimov's wise abandonment is his own happiness, as well as the luck of readers and the world. Material 4: A university professor asked Nangyin, a famous Zen master in the Meiji era of Japan, about Zen. Nangyin treated him politely, but did not talk about Zen. He poured tea into the visitor's cup. The cup was full and he continued to pour. The professor watched helplessly as the tea kept overflowing out of the cup. Finally he could no longer remain silent and said loudly: "It has overflowed and cannot be poured anymore." "You are like this cup," Nan Yin replied, "it is full. If you don’t empty your own cup first, how can I say Zen to you?” Points to ponder Sometimes, if we only hold on to our own things, it will be difficult to accept other people’s things. Especially in modern society, people are becoming more and more greedy. Some people are unwilling to give up anything, but in the end they get nothing. If you give up something, you will gain something. For experts, giving up is not failure, but wisdom. Material 5: A person feels that life is very heavy, so he goes to see a philosopher to seek relief. The philosopher gave him a basket on his shoulder, pointed to a gravel road and said, "Every time you take a step, pick up a stone and put it in and see how it feels." The man did as the philosopher said. Then the philosopher asked him how he felt. The man said: "It feels heavier and heavier." The philosopher said: "This is why you feel life is getting heavier and heavier. When we came to this world, each of us was carrying an empty basket. However, Every step we take, we have to pick up something from this world and put it in, so we feel more and more tired as we go.” Thoughts: There are many lovely people in life, but time and energy are limited, and if you don’t give up on everything, you may have to wait for success. Missed it. Isn't it important to resist temptation and learn to give up? Material 6 It is said that there is a "Six Feet Alley" in Tongcheng, Anhui Province, which was originally a place of dispute between the Zhang and Ye families. The master of the Zhang family is the prime minister of the dynasty, and Mrs. Zhang wrote to him. He wrote back and said: "The letters from home thousands of miles away are only as wide as one wall, so why not give him three feet. The Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen." So, the Zhang family gave up three feet. The Ye family felt deeply ashamed and gave up three feet, which became "Six Feet Alley". Points to think about: The prime minister gave up his majesty in appearance, and with a tolerant mind and a generous and tolerant spirit, he turned the conflict into friendship and stopped the fight before it started. It can be seen that correct abandonment often requires a noble style like green pines and autumn chrysanthemums. Material 7: Qian Xuesen, the father of the Chinese scientific community and the "Father of China's Missiles", resolutely gave up the generous treatment abroad for the sake of the national defense of the motherland and returned to China with wisdom "equivalent to five mountain divisions". During this period, he made huge sacrifices, risked his life, endured humiliation and hardship in a foreign country. He made a successful surrender. If he had stayed in the United States, he would have had abundant material conditions. However, if he had made such a choice, today Qian Xuesen would be just an ordinary or even mediocre member of the tens of millions of students studying abroad! Thoughts: Giving up requires courage, and " The courage to risk the disapproval of the world." Sometimes, giving up requires facing various pressures, either from society or from the world.
