"Think about the difficulties in order to imagine the ease of words, things and perseverance in action" This couplet has been hanging at home
The living room is with me Been with my family for twenty years.
That was in 1992 when Commander Hong Xian of the Deyang Military Division introduced a good friend of his, a famous calligraphy master in Guangyuan City, Sichuan, Mr. Lin Lin, to our army. As a guest in the division, the commander instructed me to receive this calligraphy master well. At that time, I was the director of the guest house of the military subdivision. It is our duty to serve guests well. Of course, I could not neglect the commander's instructions. In addition, I have been fond of calligraphy since I was a child. On October 3rd to 5th, 1990, I organized and received Mr. Chen Chu, a master of calligraphy and painting in Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, to hold a personal calligraphy and painting exhibition at the Deyang Second Heavy Machinery Factory Club. In this exhibition, I also collected calligraphy works by several famous calligraphy and painting masters from across the country and Sichuan.
Teacher Lin Lin saw that I was doing a great job in the service industry, that I also liked calligraphy and that I was spiritual, and had won various honorary titles for the military division many times, so he favored me very much. . Several times I was invited to accompany the commander and other leaders when having meals at the guest house, and many times he praised me for my ability in front of the leaders. In fact, I know very well that praise is praise. It is the care and encouragement given to me by Teacher Lin Lin. It is my duty and responsibility to receive superior leaders, soldiers from all over the country, and local guests to the military guesthouse for room and board. I must fulfill my duties. Only by doing my job responsibly and well will I live up to the trust and expectations placed in me by the leaders. Generating revenue, striving for a good reputation for services, and achieving better economic benefits are the results that leaders most hope to see.
When Teacher Lin Lin came to the military district this time, he mainly sent calligraphy to decorate every office and conference room in the military district, and also sent calligraphy to the leaders of the municipal government. Since the teacher lived in the guest house, I specially asked the waiter to treat the old man well, so we also benefited from the advantage of being near the water, first come first served. The teacher not only wrote a collection of calligraphy treasures for us in the guest house, but he also wrote "Women in the Army" for me. These three calligraphy paintings are "Jiujie", "Wu" and "Thinking of Difficulties" to make them easy to express, have things to do, and have perseverance. I think the former one of "Female Heroes in the Army" is Teacher Lin Lin's encouragement and spur to my work, and "Dance" is related to me. It was related to my career as a dance major in the first half of my life, but thinking about the difficulties and trying to make them easy to say, have things to do, and persevere in actions were the teacher's inspirational warnings and motivations for me to take action. I feel that the fourteen words the teacher gave me are very meaningful and meaningful. They are also a message of high expectations for me as a person and in my work.
Whenever I deal with some difficult matters at work or externally, I always think of the words given to me by Teacher Lin Lin: "Think of the difficulty to make it easy." It reminds me that I must be calm when dealing with difficult problems. I would rather think about things more complicated and difficult, and think more about how to solve problems when I encounter them. Often when faced with a problem, different methods are used to solve it. In this way, complex problems can be easily solved. This is a very effective witness to the facts.
Be consistent in your words and actions. When I deal with people, I always sort out and balance the things that can be done and the things that cannot be done. I mean what I say, without exaggerating or covering up. Even if you can't do it, tell others directly so that others won't wait eagerly. You must find ways to handle the things you promise to do. It is impossible to do anything without difficulty, but as long as you have confidence and perseverance, you will always achieve your goal.
To put it aside, take computer learning in recent years as an example. In the past, there were secretaries drafting documents and typing. But with the changes of the times, people who do not learn computers will become blind in modern technology. According to the development of the situation, I made up my mind to learn typing within a month. I started practicing typing when others were not using the computer at noon. I started with the Pinyin alphabet. With a lot of energy, I continued to practice like this every day. I finally learned how to type, surf the Internet, and write blog posts. This is the practice of perseverance. Give me the determination to persevere. With the warning, encouragement and spur of this couplet, in my future work, life and study, I will silently practice this life warning given to me by Teacher Lin Lin. It spurs and encourages me to take one step at a time. Be conscientious and work diligently on the journey of life.
My family was also affected by the warning of the couplet. Especially my daughter, under the influence of the words and deeds of our parents, she gradually realized the profound meaning of this couplet given to her by Teacher Lin Lin. She Use your own words and deeds to practice and think about the difficulties so as to make them easier to say and have things to do and perseverance in action. Twenty years have passed. I wonder if Teacher Lin Lin is still alive? There is no news, but I still miss the respected teacher Lin Lin in my heart.
Dear Teacher Lin Lin, the students are bowing to you. What you gave to me and my family is not just a couplet. What you gave us is a flashing beacon on the road ahead in life. It guides us to grasp the beacon of being a human being, not to have random thoughts, not to pursue vanity, and to be steady. Walk the progress of each period in a down-to-earth manner; this is a valuable motto for me and my family to live and do things. We will carry forward, inherit and carry forward the beacon light and motto given to us by the teacher. I wish you and my most respected calligraphy master, Teacher Lin Lin, and your family a safe life.
