There are many mundane things in the world, and there are many flattering people in the world. Born in this world, there are too few people who can not abandon the nobility of their souls and maintain their dignity. There are even fewer people who can still build their own spiritual kingdom in the face of complete defeat, without any trace of servility or obsequiousness.
It is a kind of free and easy to look at the chaos of the world, the feasting and the hustle and bustle of the world, and pursue inner purity.
Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, just watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court; you have no intention of leaving or leaving, just follow the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky. Only by not being obsessed with wealth or fame and wealth, and allowing yourself to have a rich and colorful spiritual world, can you become a calm and calm self.
“People cannot be arrogant, but they cannot be without pride.” This sentence by the art master Xu Beihong expresses a profound philosophy of life.
People with arrogance are often pretentious, thinking that they are capable and superior to others, and thus become arrogant and become a harbinger of future failure. People with arrogance, when they succeed, will be overwhelmed by words of praise and flattery, unable to listen to criticism and advice, unable to distinguish between true and false, right and wrong, and ultimately end in failure.
A proud person has ambition, confidence, and a tenacious and unyielding character. The road of life is bumpy and bumpy. Failures and setbacks will come at any time, and cold looks and sarcasm will follow. Do you respond to setbacks with sighs and despair? Or should we look for the reasons, be unafraid of cynicism, and face difficulties head on? People with "arrogance" will naturally not be discouraged and will naturally continue to explore. Wherever you fall, stand up!
Proud, from Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio·Ye Sheng" in the Qing Dynasty, it is a metaphor for a loyal, noble, strong and unyielding character. This kind of character aroused the poet's emotions, activated his mind, and wrote many poems that have been passed down through the ages.
