What's your name after you make a gift?

I am always optimistic about the future of mankind. I believe that no matter how many difficulties and twists we have to go through, no matter how much time we have to go through, mankind will always get better and better, and the realm of great harmony of mankind will never be just an empty ideal. However, if we want to achieve this goal, we must work together through countless generations. Just like the relay race, each generation has its own distance to run.

-Ji Xianlin's "My Life Insights"

Ji Lao had many academic and life achievements in his life. This is inseparable from the solid foundation he laid in the learning process. The deeper the foundation, the higher the height of the building. The two are integrated and complement each other.

From the architectural point of view, the soil or rock mass under the foundation that bears all the loads of the building is called the foundation. Foundation is not a part of the building, but it plays a very important role in ensuring the firmness and durability of the building.

We can also understand that experience and experience are not equal to life achievements. He can only guide people to build a shed, a house, a tall building and even a pyramid with their own knowledge. In this process, he can help you understand the design drawings before construction and know how to choose materials during construction. It's not any part of the building.

When it comes to architecture, people can't help thinking of Gaudi's lonely life and brilliant name.

That was in Barcelona 1926. An old man with a big beard and a gloomy expression seems to be thinking about a big problem. He was accidentally hit head-on by a tram in the street. Being in rags, like a beggar, the old man was sent to the poor hospital, where he died. Two days later, an old man inadvertently recognized that the old man who was regarded as a poor tramp turned out to be a famous Spanish architect Gaudi, which saved Gaudi from being abandoned and buried in a public cemetery after his death. Of course, the old lady didn't know how famous Gaudi would be later. Perhaps even Gaudi himself would not have thought that his architecture would be regarded as a classic by later surrealist lovers and become the most respected predecessors of Dali, Picasso, Miro and other art masters.

Many people at home and abroad are keen on dividing life, including Professor Ji Xianlin, who also supplemented Wang Guowei's three realms of life.

Let's analyze three conditions for success. Talent is determined by "heaven", and there is nothing we can do. The opportunity came unexpectedly, and there was nothing we could do. Only diligence depends entirely on yourself, so we should work hard on "doing the present thing well".

Through years of unremitting efforts, Beethoven, a master musician, perfected his pursuit of "doing well in the present" with perseverance and diligence, and gained a reputation. 1824 On May 7th, Beethoven led his band to play the Ninth Symphony. At the end of the performance, there was deafening applause at the Vienna party, but Beethoven couldn't hear it at all, which made him feel that it was not his ears that warmed the audience. It turned out that Beethoven suffered from ear disease in 1796, and by 18 19, Beethoven had completely lost his hearing. But under the severe blow of fate, Beethoven did not give in. He stood up from the pain and suffering again: "I want to challenge fate!" I want to hold my destiny by the throat and not let it be destroyed! " In this way, under the great suffering of ear disease, Beethoven created a large number of amazing symphonies and became a world-famous great musician and composer.

Edison is a great inventor in the world. In order to invent the light bulb, he tried to use thousands of different materials suitable for making the filament of the light bulb, and all failed. In his later years, his factory was destroyed by an accidental fire. At that time, he was over 60 years old, but he still said optimistically, I am still young and everything can start again.

During the Geneva Conference that year, an American journalist first took the initiative to shake hands with China's Prime Minister Zhou Enlai. Premier Zhou didn't refuse out of courtesy, but I didn't expect the reporter to suddenly say loudly, "How can I shake hands with the militants in China? Really shouldn't! I really shouldn't! " Then, he took out his handkerchief, kept wiping the hand he just shook hands with Zhou Enlai, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. At this time, many people are watching how Premier Zhou handles this matter. Zhou Enlai frowned. He also took out a handkerchief from his pocket, swept it on his hand a few times at will, then walked to the corner and threw it into the spittoon. And said, "This handkerchief will never be cleaned again!" "His diplomatic wisdom has gone far beyond the meaning of" doing immediate things ",but has elevated" doing immediate things "to a new level. Its national character and individuality shine in it. Make a name for yourself.

Ji Lao followed Chinese studies all his life, accompanied by diligence. "Diligence" is the magic weapon for him to do everything "in the moment" in a down-to-earth and earnest manner.

Diligence is not limited by culture, age or occupation. Good scholars are diligent.

Hou, a master of cross talk language in China, only attended primary school for three years. Because he is diligent and studious, his artistic level has reached a perfect level and he has become a famous language expert. On one occasion, in order to buy the joke book "The Waves" of Amin Dynasty that he wanted to buy, he went to all the second-hand book stalls in Beijing but failed to buy it. Later, he learned that Beijing Library had this book and decided to copy it back. In winter, he braved the heavy wind and snow and ran to the library to copy books for 18 days in a row. A book of more than 100,000 words was finally copied by him.

Mathematician Zhang Guanghou once saw a paper about deficient value, and thought it was very useful for his research work, so he read it again and again. This paper has more than 20 pages, and he has read it repeatedly for more than half a year. Because of repeated groping, clear black marks were left on the white pages. His wife joked that this is not reading, it is simply eating books.

Mr. Lu Xun studied hard since he was a child. When I was a teenager, I attended Jiangnan Naval Academy and got excellent results in the first semester. The school awarded him a gold medal. He immediately took it to the street of Nanjing Gulou and sold it. Then he bought some books and a bunch of red peppers. Whenever it's cold at night and he can't stand reading at night, he picks a pepper and chews it in his mouth, making his forehead sweat. In this way, he insisted on studying. After studying hard, he finally became a famous writer in China.

Whether someone is copying books, eating books, or reading and chewing peppers to drive away the cold in severe winter, these spirits are very admirable. In contrast, it is understandable if contemporary people are drinking Coca-Cola or chewing snacks and staring at the computer screen, because the times have developed, the material is rich and people's living standards have improved. What's wrong with meeting the needs of physics for the sake of learning? If he is an old man who is not sensible, does not know self-control, inherits the wind and the meaning of life, and spends his time indulging in online games and eating foolishly, that is another matter.

For the planning of life, I want to tell a story about how a seemingly beautiful bird with excellent self-attitude lives:

In an ancient virgin forest, the sun is shining, birds are singing happily and working hard. One of them is a Hao Han bird with beautiful feathers and a loud voice. He flaunts his feathers and voice everywhere, but laughs at the hard work of others. The bird reminded him, "build a nest quickly!" " How else can winter come? "

Hao Han Bird said contemptuously, "Winter is still early, so what's the hurry!" Take advantage of today's great time and have fun! "

Winter arrived in the blink of an eye. Birds hide in warm nests at night and have a good rest, while birds in Hao Han are shivering in the cold wind and lament with beautiful voices: "It's so cold, the cold wind will freeze me to death, and I'm going to build a nest tomorrow."

The sun came out and everything woke up. Bathed in the sun, Hao Han Bird was very proud, completely forgot yesterday's pain and sang a happy song. "Enjoy the sunshine."

In the evening, Hao Han Bird repeated the same story last night. On the day of heavy snow arrival, the birds want to know why Hao Han birds don't sing.

When the sun came out, everyone saw that Hao Han Bird was frozen stiff.

Would you like to be such a person? Everyone will say no. But look at its behavior, it is the opposite.

It can be seen that in a person's life, how important it is today and how important it is to do well in the present.

I hope that tomorrow's people will accomplish nothing. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is tomorrow. Over and over again. Time is passing forever.

Only those who know how to make use of today will create hope for tomorrow in today.

Young and frivolous, cherish time "Yuefu Poetry Collection"? "Long Songs" said: "When will a hundred rivers go east to the sea and return to the West? If you don't work hard, the boss will be sad. "

This sentence is taken from "Long Songs", and the original poem is like this: "Sunflower in the Green Garden. Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity. I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither. When will all rivers enter the sea and return to the west? If you don't work hard, the boss will be sad. " It can be seen that the last two sentences are the conclusion of the whole poem The poet used the image of sunflowers in the garden to compare the beauty of life in youth with the misery in old age. And the metaphor of the passage of time as the river flows eastward.

We don't know whether this unknown poet more than two thousand years ago is regretting his life.

But what is certain is that many people will be deeply shocked when they read this poem at the age of white hair, so this poem has been widely read and passed down to this day.

Relatively speaking, "young" here refers to a person's age from teenagers to their thirties and forties, or in other words, it is equivalent to less than 30 years from adolescence to adulthood. This is the most precious period in everyone's life. People in this period are active in thinking, enthusiastic, energetic, imaginative, full of courage and enterprising spirit, which can be described as "dare to think, dare to say and dare to do". Throughout the ages, successful people, their pursuit of academic success until their career success, are probably achieved during this period.

If a person can't make good use of this precious time to realize his "ambition" or lay a solid foundation for realizing his "ambition", he can't do much. Confucius said that if a person reaches the age of 40, at most 50, and has not done anything in society, his life will be almost like this. It is precisely because of this that Yue Fei, a national hero, used this sentence to express his attitude towards life in his masterpiece "Man Jiang Hong": "Thirty fame is dust, and eight thousand miles is a cloud moon. Don't wait for leisure, white boy head, empty and sad. " Our predecessors used their short and glorious lives to inspire and spur our descendants.

Clench your fist and say "success!" This is what the host Jing Li must say at the end of every super interview. No matter what the result is, she will finally sum it up in this childlike way, like cheering up the interviewee and the audience themselves.

She said humorously when she was doing the show: If there is no pie in the sky, then I will make it myself. It can be described as a 100% positive attitude towards life.

It is practical to make your own pies in life, and you can eat them in your mouth. It's very clever.

What's the use of waiting for "pie from the sky" to say that he is?

◆ Be your own Bole. In real life, there are many people who are distressed, which is basically the case. Everyone is complaining that there are too few Bole in the world! In fact, this is a very negative "lovesickness".

We want to be our own bole! Success is not waiting, sometimes it is robbed!

Of course, those who have a good eye for pearls will be upset, and those who know people well will have boundless merits. However, in the vast sea of people, such "Bole" is often difficult to find. Han Yu said, "Bole comes first, then swift horse." Someone retorted, "Maxima, you should be your own Bole!" There is a great style of integration of Chinese and western cultures.

Tony Robin, a famous American psychologist, once pointed out in the book "Awakening the Giant in the Heart": "Everyone has a special talent. That kind of talent is like a sleeping giant, waiting for us to wake him up ... God will not treat anyone badly, he will give each of us endless opportunities to give full play to ourselves. " So, what are we waiting for? Why not be your own bole?

Jia Pingwa, a famous contemporary writer, famously said, "People can find themselves." In other words, you should be your own bole. After years of running around, he discovered his writing talent and sought the road to success. The three famous British Bronte sisters accidentally discovered their writing skills while helping their younger brothers to become talents. Finally, all three of them are famous for their excellent literary works. Jia Pingwa or the three Bronte sisters were successful because they discovered themselves and bravely showed their talents to everyone. Become a success!

There are no absolute things in the world. There is a "Bole Xiangma" and there is a "voluntary recommendation". Despite his humble position, Mao Sui's courage is admirable. At the critical moment when Zhao was besieged, he stood up and recommended himself regardless of the contempt and ridicule of others. Persuaded the King of Chu to send troops and rescued the people from the quagmire, leaving the laudatory name of "Little Lin Xiangru". Mao Sui is immortal because he dares to discover himself, appreciate himself and be his own bole.

If you think you are a "swift horse", don't pin all your hopes on others, learn from Mao Sui without hesitation, be your own bole, discover your talents, and then "recommend" yourself with confidence and courage, show your style and realize your ambitions.

We often envy others' success, but often ignore our own efforts; Often lament the injustice of fate, but rarely explore their own potential. Then, from now on: wake up the giants in our hearts, let us find ourselves, appreciate ourselves, look at the right direction of life and move forward step by step. Maybe one day, we will walk into the temple of our hearts like Ji Lao.

◆ Sharpen the mentality of the strong. Surfing in the tide of market economy, for many people, is not without opportunities, is not aware of opportunities or not prepared in advance; It's not that business is difficult, but that we won't do it; It is not that there is no oasis on the earth, but that there is a desert in my heart; It is not that there is no sunshine, but that I am afraid of sunshine and like to enjoy the cool in the shade; It's not that I'm not smart, but that I always feel that I'm the smartest in the world, and others are not as good as you; It is not that there is no job, but that there are too few qualified posts; It's not that I won't, it's that I won't learn! Wait, wait, wait

With the progress of the times, the society bid farewell to the closed and rigid planned economy system and entered a market economy society with comprehensive reform and opening up. The era has entered 2 1 century, and most of the population of China1300 million are basically at the same starting point. At the same time, facing the change of ideas, the update of knowledge and even the gap between the rich and the poor, in a sense, this is the best opportunity to realize self-worth, and all opportunities are hidden. We must adapt to the change, establish a sense of competition and crisis in the change, and meet the challenge of uncertain factors in the new life.

The commentary of Animal World once said: On the grasslands of Africa, zebras, antelopes and lions live. Once you meet a lion, antelope and zebra, the first thing you do is: you must run faster than the lion, or you may be eaten; The lion is also thinking: I must catch up with the slowest antelope or zebra, or I will starve to death. In human life, the same story is repeated in another sense. This story raises a question for us: Who should we sympathize with? Who should live? Different people have different answers. For nature, the accepted answer is: natural selection, survival of the fittest, survival of the strong! Because "nature has no sympathy for the weak", if it is extended to "the market economy does not believe in tears." It's not wrong.

Some people are very tacitly indifferent and humorous about the competition process, using two athletes as an analogy, because the occupation of athletes is competition. Whoever wins the gold medal is the best;

Two athletes met a tiger in the forest. One of them quickly put on his running shoes, and the other sarcastically said, It's no use wearing running shoes! He replied, do you think I wear running shoes to race with tigers? All I have to do is run past you! This story tells us vividly that we should constantly put on running shoes and race with the people around us. People's nature may be that they don't like competition, but they like to be better than their opponents, but as before. If you are better than your opponent, you lose the word "fear"! In school, too, whoever studies well is a good student.

Subjective progress can also be called self-improvement objectively.

The world has entered 2 1 century, the earth has become a village, people have no fixed jobs, the original concept of iron rice bowl will gradually disappear, and the word "new iron rice bowl" has appeared for many years.

The meaning of the new iron rice bowl is simply: never eat in one place for life, but eat everywhere with new skills! Foreigners go to China and China people go abroad.

Anything can happen. Yesterday's iron rice bowl may become a mud rice bowl today;

Government civil servants with mediocre ability yesterday may be replaced by outstanding people in society tomorrow;

People who are officials on the stage today may enter the classroom as soon as the police car calls tomorrow; Last year's laid-off workers may become lawyers next year and shoe repairers the year after.

Frogs can live in water, and once the water is dry, they can live on land, because they can be amphibious, but fish can never live without water. Wild ducks can dive to eat fish or fly into the air. There is a classic joke about cats and mice: a mouse was almost caught by a cat, hurriedly escaped into a hole and made up his mind not to go out for three days. After a while, there were several dog barks from the hole. The mouse thinks it should be safe now because dogs and cats are deadly enemies. If there is a dog, there must be no cat. So I went out to find food with confidence again. I was bitten by a cat as soon as I got to the hole. The mouse feels very strange and thinks that his analysis and judgment are not wrong, and he is very confused. So he asked the cat, "Before I died, I asked Mr. Cat a question. What I just heard was clearly a dog barking. Why not the dog but you? " The cat replied, "It's 2 1 century. How can you survive without learning one or two skills? " ! I just played the recording of Mr. Dog ... The cat ate the mouse.

People who have no sense of crisis will face a greater crisis. Only by preparing for the crisis in advance can we turn the crisis into a turning point. 2 1 century is the century of lifelong learning. If you don't study, you will fall behind. If you study less, you will fall behind. If you learn slowly, you will fall behind! Reality makes you unable to escape. For example:

Important learning opportunities, less than others, are immediately surpassed by others.

A career has surpassed others before others have done it and they are doing it themselves.

When others are resting, I am still studying, and I have surpassed others!

If you want to be better than others, you must know more than others, and more knowledge comes from more learning. Only by knowing more can we do better. Only by doing better than others can we do better than others.

An ambitious person can always let those who look down on him give him strength.

Because few people like to change themselves, it is always a few who succeed.

A successful person always does what ordinary people can and don't want to do, so he succeeds.

In the sports field, the referee does not decide the ranking according to the starting point, but to see who reaches the finish line first!

As an audience, you usually don't appreciate the person who runs last.

Competition will promote social progress, and competition will make people from weak to strong!

The world is dynamic, and a person's level and ability are not static. No one dares to subjectively conclude that the man of the hour who appears tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will not be himself or the people around him. In this world, nothing is impossible, but we may not know how many people are secretly working towards their goals!

When Ji Lao summed up his life, his works were so wonderful and picturesque:

"I looked back, and in the gray, I clearly saw a road that was very long. I came step by step, and the top of this road is in Guanzhuang, Qingping County. I saw a gray-yellow earthen house with the water in the reed pond shining in the middle and the faces of my great-grandmother and mother. The road extended further, and I saw Daming Lake in Quancheng. This road extended again, and I saw Tsinghua, Shui Mu, and then I saw the colorful autumn colors in the German town of G? ttingen, where the faces of my mother-like landlady and grandfather-like old professor fluttered. The road suddenly turned back to China from thousands of miles away. I saw the shadows of the Red Mansion and the Lake Tower in Yanyuan ... If I look further, the road will shrink to my feet. "

It is true that young people are not old enough to look back, so there is no need to look back, so keep your eyes looking forward: measure the distance you can see, the distance you can trek, the post stations you can pass, the scenery you can see and the height you can climb. Thinking about the ultimate goal of life ... where?
