What does "Dragon" enlighten us about the way to success? Success is never luck! I bring a detailed article for your reference.
"The flying snow shoots at the white deer, and the laughing book hero leans on the blue mandarin duck."
Mr. Jin Yong has many works, and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" is Mr. Jin Yong's evaluation of his own creative level. A huge challenge and breakthrough, the number of single protagonists is different from other works.
"Dragon" not only builds a brand new world of martial arts for us, but also shows us the great wisdom of success through the characters in it.
1. If you have a good attitude, the situation will not be small
In "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", the most admirable one is Murong Fu. Coming from an aristocratic family, well-established family background, and the reputation of "Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong", he could be regarded as a rich second generation with a background, but in the end he ended up crazy.
Lu Xun said: "Tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for you to see."
Since childhood, Murong Fu has had smooth sailing, with a smart girl behind him and a loyal man in front of him. The retainers, and even the admiration of the beautiful cousin.
As an adult, Murong Fu traveled around the world and never failed. At this time, he was full of energy and full of ambition.
But after Murong Fu saw Duan Yu's unskilled Six Meridians Divine Sword, his heart was shocked. Then Wang Yuyan bluntly said that Murong Fu's martial arts was not as good as Qiao Feng.
Murong Fu, who has always been number one, never thought that he would be inferior to others. From then on, Murong Fu began to harvest "failures", including Jiumozhi, Ding Chunqiu, Xu Zhu, Duan Yu, Qiao Feng and even You Tanzhi, etc., Murong Fu retreated steadily.
After repeated failures, his mentality completely collapsed and he also suffered from neurological problems.
Things are unpredictable, and life will inevitably have its ups and downs. Only by having a good attitude can you be able to afford it and let it go. Only by facing success or failure calmly can you become a winner in life.
The first half of Su Dongpo's life was as smooth as Murong Fu's. He once won the first place in the palace examination, and for a while he was very proud and famous. Later, his life was a different story. His official career was bumpy, he was involved in many lawsuits, and he was demoted and exiled.
However, he has seen through the ups and downs of life, and his attitude towards life has changed from helplessness to open-mindedness. His lyrics and calligraphy also follow his heart and act casually, entering a realm of freedom and innocence, reaching a new height.
Not only Su Dongpo, but also Tao Yuanming and Li Taibai faced life with a smile after encountering setbacks. They not only left us quatrains that will sing through the ages, but they are also beacons on our road to life.
Life is like tea, it has two postures: floating and sinking.
Be calm when you sink, and be indifferent when you float.
This is the basis of success.
2. Only when you have an open mind can you see clearly and go far
Lao Tzu said: "The sage follows others first."
A humble person, You will always be favored by success. Because humility allows a person to see a different world.
Bamboo bows its head to others only when it is humble at heart. Just like Xu Zhu in "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", he was originally a Shaolin monk with a low level of cultivation, neither handsome nor smart, but because of the same void as Zhu Jie, he got Li Qiu Shui, Tianshan Tonglao and Wu Yazi's three masters used their lifelong skills to become masters.
Power, martial arts, status, love...Xu Zhu, who wanted nothing, got everything Murong Fu wanted to have and became the most successful one in "The Legend of the Dragon". It seems that Xu Zhu accepted it passively and it was luck. In fact, it was brought about by his humility.
If it weren’t for Xu Zhu’s free-spirited mentality, how could he be treated differently by many experts if he was invisible in the crowd?
Just like a philosopher Spencer said: “The first condition for success is true humility, and a willingness to give up all your cherished prejudices as long as they are seen to conflict with the truth.
"
Being as open-minded as a bamboo, having tolerance is great. Xu Zhu's open-mindedness makes himself an "empty". In this way, he can accommodate more.
"Shooting the Condor" In "The Legend of Heroes", when the old naughty boy Zhou Botong taught Guo Jing the "Kong Ming Quan", he said:
"Only an empty bowl can hold rice, and only an empty house can house people. If the bowl is solid, it cannot hold rice. It is of no use if there is no space in the house. ”
Being modest is to hold more! Being modest allows you to better understand the nature of success.
Dai Zhen and his teacher Jiang Shui during the Yongzheng period were both capable people, but Jiang Shui was not. Dai Zhen would say. The emperor was very happy to hear Dai Zhen analyze the problem clearly and asked Dai Zhen: "Compared with the teacher, who is more talented?"
Dai Zhen said without hesitation: "I am at the bottom. "
"The one with higher level cannot answer, why?" the emperor continued to ask.
Dai Zhen said: "The teacher is old and has some deafness, but his knowledge is more than I am ten thousand times. "
When the emperor saw his humility, he greatly praised him and gave him the title of Hanlin.
A humble person has a unique charm, both strength and humanity.
3. Concentration can lead to top-notch results
If you have too much desire, your mind will be scattered, if your mind is distracted, your will will be weak, and if your will will be weak, your thinking will not reach your goal.
Spending a long time to do one thing to the best is far better than doing ten thousand things mediocrely.
Duan Yu’s biggest characteristic is that he has been interested in the things he has loved since he was a child. He was so focused that he was obsessed with it, so Duan Yu's mother gave Duan Yu the nickname "Chier"
Although Duan Yu had no interest in Dali Duan's Yiyang Finger and Six Meridians Divine Sword. He was extremely obsessed with classics such as the "Book of Changes", and this obsession laid the foundation for several magical skills that Duan Yu later learned, especially the Lingbo Weibu, in which the steps are completely marked according to the sixty-four hexagrams. , this is exactly what Duan Yu is best at.
Compared to Duan Yu's expertise, Murong Fu's martial arts skills are numerous but not specialized. The essence of it failed to become a great thing in the end.
People’s energy is limited, and the results will never lie where they spend their time.
Wang Xiaobo said in "The Silver Age". : “Do you know what the secret of genius is? That is to always do one thing. ”
When Qu Yuan was a child, he hid in a cave and studied hard regardless of the freezing weather. In three years, he read 305 chapters of the Book of Songs and finally became a great poet.
In order to paint tigers well, Li Guizhen went into deep mountains and old forests to visit real tigers. Through a lot of sketching and copying, he finally became a master of painting.
Dong Zhongshu concentrated on studying and studying. In three years, he was one step away from his study. He didn't even go in to take a look at the garden, but he eventually became a famous thinker in the Western Han Dynasty.
In this bustling world, only those who are determined and focused on what they believe in can become the few people who finally achieve their ideals.
4. Clear goals are the key to success
Clear goals are the key to success. He wanted to seek revenge from Qiao Feng, but when he saw Ah Zi, he was fooled by Ah Zi and was manipulated by her. At the moment when he jumped off the cliff, I wonder if he still remembered the purpose of entering the world?
Unsteady goals make people feel sad, and wrong goals will make people go further and further away.
There are many reasons for Murong Fu’s failure in entrepreneurship. The main thing is that Murong Fu had a wrong goal.
Judging from the situation at that time, Song, Liao, Xixia, Dali, and Tubo had become a tripartite power, and the countries were in peace with each other and were not one. It is a good time to restore the country.
To achieve this goal, Murong Fu did many irreversible mistakes. He was not short of money, but he went to the Xixia "Yipitang"; he was not short of loyalty, but he went around to buy people's hearts. , and even kill his own retainers for others.
The same is true for Qiao Feng's father, Xiao Yuanshan. He has been lurking in the Shaolin Temple for many years, but he has always recognized the wrong enemy.
If they had chosen the right goal, they would not have wasted half their lives and ended up with a sad result.
People’s goals don’t need to be too big, but as long as they are in the right direction, and if you put your interest and enthusiasm into it, you will succeed.
For example, Murong Fu and Xiao Yuanshan, many people choose incorrect goals at the beginning. Timely correction will bring success closer.
When Lu Xun first studied medicine, he wanted to save his own nation. However, after he discovered the ignorance and numbness of the Chinese people, he felt that he should first treat people's spirits and awaken the people's consciousness.
Lu Xun revised his goals in time and began his writing career. He wrote a large number of essays and novels and became my country's greatest modern literary writer.
Some luck only favors those who retain their original intentions.
If Murong Fu would not resort to any means to restore his country, he might not end up crazy.
The blooming of a flower requires the nourishment of rain, dew, sunshine, and soil; a person's success also requires humility, concentration, goals, and a good attitude.
In the final analysis, a person's success must start from his own cultivation. You have to believe that when you work hard, the blessing of fate will come quietly.
