Read these three sentences of Laozi: young people struggle, middle-aged people struggle, and old people struggle.

Recently, I read Laozi's Tao Te Ching, and I was deeply impressed by one sentence:

Risking his life. Three out of ten students were born. Three out of ten people will die. Three out of ten people are born to die.

This means that we are born empty-handed. After decades of baptism, people from the same starting point are divided into three camps.

The first kind is students, who have made achievements and made great achievements, mixed like dogs and flourished;

Second, moving to the dead, nowhere to show their skills, life can not continue, the situation is very embarrassing;

The third kind is the dead, who drift with the tide and finally become a victim of fate.

What is the reason that a group of children with almost the same talent have pulled away from each other on the track of life?

In a word, there are three levels in life: juvenile efforts, youth efforts and middle-aged efforts. The harder you work, the luckier you are.

People in their early twenties, both men and women, are in the right state of youth. At this time, youthful and fearless, it is a good time to struggle.

Roibert Briuis, the king of ancient Scotland, was defeated by invading enemies six times and almost lost confidence. So on a rainy day, he lay in a thatched cottage in despair and stared at the roof in a daze.

At this moment, a spider who weaves a web caught his attention. It wants to wrap a spider silk around the opposite wall, but the wind and rain are too heavy for the spider to control the direction in which the spider silk falls. I failed six times in a row.

Just when Robert thought it was going to give up, the spider began his seventh attempt. It approached step by step along the spider web, and its stomach spit out spider silk. In Robert's incredible eyes, it hit a hit.

The success of the spider rekindled Robert's hope. He reorganized his troops, fought back against the invaders and finally drove the enemy out of Scotland.

Hang in there and let Robert succeed.

Coincidentally, the writer Liu Zhenyun was not born with writing ability. Forty years ago, everyone in the Chinese Department of Peking University was writing, and he followed suit. After 40 years, the whole class stopped writing, leaving him alone and eventually becoming a well-known great writer.

When we were young, we had too much youth to squander. Everyone has almost the same talent and similar experiences. Whoever persists for a long time can change from ordinary to extraordinary and finally be worshipped by others.

As the saying goes, stand at thirty. At the age of 30, I am begging for my life.

The so-called spell luck is not an illusory spell of luck, but a flexible, flexible and flexible spell.

Sun Tzu once said, "A gentleman is cautious about independence".

A true gentleman, without the supervision of others, will strictly restrain himself and will not do anything that violates the law and morality. By the age of 30, he will be flexible and have the wisdom of a gentleman, so that he can understand the world from the outside.

There is a fable called "Zheng people buy shoes". It is said that some people in A Zheng want to buy shoes. He measured his feet first, and then put them on the seat.

When he arrived at the market, he took the shoes, only to find that he forgot to take the measured size, so he went back to get the size. By the time he came back, the market had already dispersed, and finally there were no shoes to buy.

Someone asked, "Why not try it with your feet?"

He said, "I would rather trust the measured size than my own feet."

Let's see, is this Zheng Guoren stupid? He is not stupid, but ignorant and loyal to dogmatism, and does not know how to be flexible and flexible, and finally becomes a joke in the eyes of others.

At the age of thirty, we will encounter all kinds of situations in our work and life. In addition to marking time, it is more important to learn to be flexible at any time!

Those who don't hit the south wall and don't look back, and decide that one thing must be hit to the end, not only can't achieve the effect, but also harm others; Only those who are calm and flexible in times of crisis are the real masters, welcomed by others and worthy of their hearts.

The ancients said that poverty depends on life, wealth depends on luck, and happiness depends on virtue.

Educators also say that teenagers are slow, young people are alert, and middle-aged people are self-cultivation.

After middle age, people have more experience, and you will find that many things you think are great are actually nothing. I used to care about other people's opinions, but now I laugh it off quietly.

Self-cultivation is a lifelong practice, which determines our mental outlook, human outlook, physical outlook and soul.

The beauty of the five senses is as bright and direct as flowers; The beauty of the spirit is like a faint fragrance, which needs to be relied on and can only be presented by cultivation.

Then what is cultivation?

Confucius told such a story: There was a dog who liked to bite people on the road.

The first man came and the dog began to attack. The man could have subdued it, but he still dodged from side to side.

The dog was stubborn and took a bite. Blood is flowing. The man raised his foot and kicked the dog away. The dog rolled and ran away.

The second man came and met him in a narrow way. He thinks he is not easy to bully and needs to be beaten. When the dog jumped on him, he grabbed the dog's two front legs and the dog couldn't move. The dog bit his arm, and he bit the dog's head, so he bit it in turn. In the end, both sides lost.

Student Zi Gong said after listening, why is he like a dog?

Yeah, why is he like a dog? Everyone in this world will be hit by the mental garbage released by others if they are not careful. What should we do?

Can't be like the second person, you bite me, I bite you endlessly. How are you different from each other along the way?

This story told by Confucius embodies the consciousness of self-cultivation and cultivation. It's civilization, courtesy, knowledge, culture, cool breeze, bright moon and fragrant chrysanthemums.

Those who love others will always love others; People who respect others will always respect others. Cultivation is a noble virtue. If we want to implement it concretely, it should be a kind of respect, a kind of wisdom, a way to treat people and things, and we should not be obsessed with everything.

The world is full of knowledge, and human cultivation is an article. The spiritual transformation from "awesome speech" to "awesome speech" is the growth brought by knowledge and cultivation.

If at this time, you feel a little confused in the journey of life, suddenly lose your sense of direction, and often feel uncomfortable getting along with others, you might as well read Laozi, quietly taste the inside story behind "Young people struggle hard, middle-aged people struggle hard, and old people struggle hard", and be an open-minded and optimistic smart person.

Encourage with you and laugh at life together.
