Anger without strength is meaningless
This sentence is very domineering, and I am a fan of this sentence.
Putin’s words tell us that whether it is a country or an ordinary person, if there is no strength, all his anger will become meaningless. Iraq and Yugoslavia are good examples.
For us ordinary people, if you don’t have the ability to compete with others, don’t be angry. The best choice is to increase your strength with peace of mind.
Never regret anything you do, let alone look back.
I have some principles, one of which is not to regret anything. Once you regret something, you will look back, and you will inevitably feel sad. If you want to get the future, you have to look forward. As I mentioned in a previous article, people are most afraid of regretting while living.
The most important thing in life is to keep moving forward, because the future is ahead, and past experiences will only become a burden. If something is unforgettable, we will always be immersed in it and don’t want to come out; if it is a painful lesson, we will carry it firmly on our backs, making us unable to breathe.
Zhang Junbao in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" became insane because of the betrayal of his good brother. He came out, do you remember? Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and everything is revived. A woodcutter, a dead tree in spring, made him understand that only by letting go of the burden can he run towards a new life.
A real man has to keep figuring things out, while a real woman has to keep struggling.
I don’t know the circumstances under which Putin said this. I can only share my personal understanding with everyone.
A real man, when faced with difficulties, does not stand still, but must constantly think of ways and keep trying in order to get out of difficulties and move towards a more glorious tomorrow. As for the second half of the sentence, "Why do women keep struggling?", I'm not sure, because it's of no use to me, so I don't have any ideas.
Life is composed of contradictions. Wherever there are no contradictions, there will be desolation.
For ordinary people, the contradictions in life are more about the gap between reality and ideals. Lin Qingxuan once said that nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and this is probably what he meant. When you are born as a human being, don't expect everything to be smooth sailing and everything goes as planned. People who have too many tailwind flags cannot withstand the slightest setback.
An environment that feels like spring all year round is not as good as having four distinct seasons. There are hundreds of flowers in spring, moonlight in autumn, cold winter and hot summer are both indispensable. Only in this way can plants thrive. Without going through wind and rain, how can there be a rainbow?
Luck is for idiots.
Success comes from ninety-nine percent sweat and one percent luck. If you don't work hard, God will not favor everyone. Don't even think about pie in the sky. There is a saying that goes well, if you bloom, the breeze will come. Luck is the most unreliable thing. The gold list is the result of ten years of hard study. Tsinghua University and Peking University are not admitted by luck.
The more people do something, the more they come to the conclusion that there is still a lot that remains undone.
This is the biggest difference between people who are busy and people who are doing nothing. People who have nothing to do, play games, play with mobile phones, one day passes, and another year passes. The more boring life is, the emptier people will become and the more they feel they have nothing to do. On the contrary, what about people who have many things to do? There are endless things to do every day, and he is doing things every minute and every second. He wishes he had three heads and six arms.
As for the result, one can imagine. There are also twenty-four hours in a day. Some people are busy all day long, live a fulfilling life, and get a lot in the end, while some people are inactive all day long and get nothing.
I remember this passage in "How Steel Was Tempered". I memorized it when I was in junior high school, and I still haven't forgotten it.
The most precious thing for people is life, and life is only once for everyone. A person's life should be spent like this: When he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed of being inactive.
