A large tree that had grown in the mountains for many years was pruned and transplanted into a newly built park. People gathered around it and talked about it. One said: "Without this transplant, it would not be appreciated by others. If you want to be appreciated, you must change your living environment." But I want to say: "If you want to be appreciated, you must change yourself!"
Everyone is a beautiful landscape, but the world will not change for you, and the environment will not actively adapt to ourselves. Therefore, we can only change ourselves, adapt to the environment, and achieve success.
Perhaps, we do not have the romance of Zhuang Zhou’s Mengdie, nor the detachment of Zhuang Zi who “can do it in the mud”; perhaps, we cannot be like the hesitant fighter Lu Xun who sacrificed his blood for Xuanyuan and profoundly revealed the Chinese nation’s thousands of years of struggle. The bad nature; maybe, we don’t have the courage of Helen Keller who was blind and deaf but explored the unknown world with her heart. But at least, we can change ourselves, let ourselves accept the influence of "Zhuangzi", let ourselves accept the strong sounds of "Scream" and "Wandering", let ourselves accept the baptism of "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", and use books to let our hearts Boil subtly and change yourself.
When Tao Yuanming, who had been an official for only more than 70 days, signed his seal and retired to the countryside to live in seclusion in the mountains, he changed himself. He cannot change the darkness of officialdom, he can only change himself. So he did not give up for five buckets of rice and stayed with chrysanthemums. Although his official career was lost, his noble ambition was appreciated by history and remembered by future generations. When Li Bai, the "imperial scholar", called the white deer he kept among the green cliffs to ride to famous mountains, he changed himself. The imperial court wanted him to chant the wind and the moon and praise his virtues, but he just wanted to show his ambition. Unable to change his officialdom, he had to change his own ambition. So he placed his affection on the mountains and rivers and surveyed the famous mountains and rivers. Although he failed to realize his dream of traveling across the world, he created half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in poetry and was praised by future generations. They changed themselves and at the same time changed the times. Although they were not admired by people of the time, they were remembered by future generations and shined in the sky of history.
Those who cannot change themselves can only be eliminated by the environment. Although the old shoemaker in Galsworthy's "Quality" has the best shoemaking skills in the city, he is unwilling to change himself, making him unable to keep up with the mechanization era. He insists on making each pair of shoes by hand, and eventually starves. Died in his shoe shop. Only by changing yourself can you keep up with the times and avoid being eliminated by the environment.
Only by changing yourself can the blood of will and sweat of hard work be turned into long-lasting nectar, only by unfading hope and immortal dream can we weave a brilliant rainbow, and only then can eternal persistence be achieved Build an impregnable iron wall with tenacity...
Change yourself!
