Be a tree rooted in the earth

The philosopher Wittgenstein said, "I walk on the ground, not dance in the clouds." This famous saying vividly shows that people should not be impetuous and illusory, but should be calm and pragmatic and down-to-earth.

Being a tree rooted in the earth is an ideal gesture of down-to-earth life, because solid land is worth relying on and steady steps are worthy of admiration. In a materialistic impetuous society, practicality is particularly important. The concrete manifestation of pragmatism is to emphasize the foundation, despise fame and fortune, and be persistent, because deep roots can flourish, indifference can calm down, and persistence can succeed. To take root in the earth and do things in a down-to-earth manner, we first need to lay a solid foundation and accumulate capabilities. Behind the resplendent stadium, we also saw Yao Ming standing on the training ground and practicing shooting for thousands of times, and Liu Xiang doing muscle exercises again and again. Yao Ming's slam dunk and Liu Xiang's "cloud" myth are all condensed with efforts; Those dazzling movements and agile skills are actually just a coherent integration of basic movement training on weekdays. "The tree is deep, and the roots are deep; The sea is Wan Ren, and many people flow into it; Deep wisdom leads to a cave, which is also a learning work. " There must be roots under the flowers and green leaves, there must be a trickle in front of the majestic sea, and there must be hard work behind the dazzling scenery. Taking root in the earth and doing things in a down-to-earth manner requires indifferent feelings and firm beliefs. I like watching thousands of waves of rice, especially the romantic Yuan Longping. Yuan Longping is a real cultivator. Whether as a rural teacher or a world-renowned expert and scholar, he has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, focused on the fields, rooted in the soil, spread wisdom and harvested wealth, and became the widely praised "father of hybrid rice". The pen tomb of the famous book saint Mo Chi; A scholar who didn't look at the garden, hoed the ground with classics and made a name for himself in history. Only by being indifferent to fame and fortune can we do things in a down-to-earth manner; Only by concentrating on your work can you achieve something. Be indifferent to fame and fortune, do your job well, and you may become the "most beautiful" in this industry. It requires courage to overcome difficulties and perseverance to take root in the earth and act in a down-to-earth manner. In the Ming Dynasty, Tao overcame difficulties and wrote his academic experience on the leaves after ploughing. After more than ten years of persistence, he harvested dozens of cans of "leaves" and transcribed these "leaves" into a book, which became the Record of Dropping out of Farming. Verne, known as the "father of science fiction", abstracted more than 25,000 notes in his life. When Marx wrote Das Kapital, he insisted on abstracting more than 400,000 words from the British Museum. Without a down-to-earth spirit, where does this accumulated strength come from, and where does this beautiful flower of success bloom? "If you don't stop chiseling, the ditch will be deep, and if you don't stop the axe, you will get more wages." It's just a fantasy to reach the sky in one step, and it's just a step in time to indulge in fantasy and focus on empty voices. Only by being practical, avoiding impetuousness, taking root like a tree, retrogressing like water, taking every step firmly and moving forward steadily can we finally reach a beautiful realm! Be a tree rooted in the earth, it will not become a meteor, it will float in the sky! Be a tree rooted in the earth, blossom and bear fruit on the ground, and interpret your wonderful classics!
