Continue to share how to live:

In a chaotic era, ask about the meaning of life.

We live in an uneasy era, the world is in chaos, and we cannot see the future clearly. Materials are abundant, but the spirit is very empty. Food and clothing are the interests of the parents, but they are in short supply. Action is free, and feelings are But very closed. As long as you work hard, you can get anything and achieve anything, but people are passive and pessimistic, and some even commit crimes or cause scandals.

A depressive atmosphere, which contains the entire society. Why is this? Because many people cannot find the meaning and value of life and have lost their direction in life. The lack of clear values ??has led to the chaos in today's society. I am not the only one who holds this view.

In view of this current situation, the most important thing is to raise a fundamental question, why do people live? And to answer this question, thereby establishing a philosophy as the guideline for our life. The so-called philosophy can also be called ideas or thoughts, etc.

Some people think that raising and solving such a problem is like sprinkling water in the desert. meaning, especially in a world that despises labor and loves speculation.

If not fundamentally based on values. If I want to think about and solve problems, society will inevitably become more turbulent and the future will become even more chaotic. I am not the only one who feels this deep sense of crisis and anxiety.

In this book, I will ask head-on what is the truth of life and what is the meaning of life? What is the proper state of life? I will expound my basic thoughts on these major issues without any scruples, driving my little stake into the torrent of the times.

If readers can actually find the joy of life in this book and live a happy and fulfilling life, I will feel extremely happy.

The meaning of life is to temper the soul.

What is the meaning of our life? What is the purpose of life? Regarding this most basic question in life, I think the answer must be answered from a positive perspective, which is to improve the mind and hone the soul.

Living in this world, being fascinated by rain and trapped by desire can be said to be the nature of animals like us. If we let this nature go unchecked, we will endlessly pursue wealth, status and reputation. Will indulge in pleasure.

Of course, life requires adequate food and clothing, free activities require corresponding funds, and the desire to establish oneself in the world is also the driving force for progress. These should not be denied outright.

Of course, life requires adequate food and clothing, free activities require corresponding funds, and the desire to establish oneself in the world is also the driving force for progress. These should not be denied in general.

However, everything listed is limited to reality. No matter how much it is, it cannot bring about things in the next life and this life. It must be settled and completed in this life.

If there is an immortal thing in life, it is the soul. When death comes, you will have to give up all the status, reputation and property you have created in this life, and you can only start a new one with your soul. journey.

So if someone asks me why did you come to this world? My unequivocal answer is, in order to have a purer soul when you die than when you were alive, or in other words, to greet death with a better and more noble soul.

We come to the world, withstand the impact of various winds and waves, sing the joys and sorrows of the world and return to happiness. We are hurt until we stop breathing, and we fight tenaciously with disdain. This life process itself is Like sandpaper that refines the soul, people improve their character, cultivate their spirit, and leave the world with a higher level of soul than when they were born. I think this is the purpose of life. Apart from this, there is no other purpose in life.

Today we do better than yesterday, and tomorrow we do better than today. We make sincere efforts, unremitting work, solid actions, and sincere cultivation every day. In this process, we are reflected The goals and values ??of life.

There are many unsatisfactory things in life. Sometimes we even resent gods and Buddhas. Why do we only let me experience so much suffering? But it is precisely because of these sufferings that we can temper our souls and improve our personality. We should regard sufferings as experiences and tests as opportunities. We need to think about problems in this way.

Only those who can see trials as opportunities can make their lives shine in their limited life.

As a reality, God has given us a period of time to improve our xinxing, and a place where God has given us a place to hone our souls. The meaning of human life and the value of life lie in improving our xinxing and tempering our souls. To put it simply, That's it.

Simple principles are the unshakable guideline of life.

The human soul can be tempered or polluted. The human spirit can become noble or humble. This also depends on our attitude towards life. It’s how we plan to live our lives. If you have talent but no virtue, you will inevitably go astray. There are many such people in the world, and it is the same in my career. Some people are only interested in profit and are self-centered in everything. As a result, they build extremely illegal activities.

Why do talented people do bad things? Youdao is a talented man, but he is burdened by his talent. Intelligent people can easily lose their intelligence and go in the wrong direction. They can use their talents to achieve temporary success, but relying only on their talents will inevitably lead to failure.

The more talented people are, the more they need a pointer in life, relying on it to move forward in the right direction. This pointer is what we call concepts, thoughts and philosophy.

If the personality lacks this kind of philosophy and the personality is immature, then even if the talent is smart, but because the talent is high but the morals are low, this talent cannot be used in the right way and the result will be setbacks. This is the case for business leaders. The same is true in each of our lives.

I use the formula that personality equals personality plus philosophy to define the innate character of a personality. Parents learn on the road of life. Understand the philosophy, the two add up to form personality, that is to say, the innate character plus the acquired philosophy create our personality, our spiritual character.

Therefore, we always live this life with a philosophy that ultimately determines the order of personality. If the foundation of philosophy is not solid, the trunk of personality will not grow straight or long.

So, what is the consultation we need? In one sentence, what is right as a human being? In other words, the simple and universal principles of life that parents give to their children are the ethics and morals advocated by mankind since ancient times.

Therefore, when I was 27 years old, my friends helped me start a company and run the business. I was an outsider. I had neither knowledge nor experience. I didn’t know how to run a business well. I was troubled. I decided that Gu Qie would do the right thing as a human being and carry it out in the right way.

This means not to lie, not to cause trouble for others, to be honest, not to be greedy, not to only care about yourself, etc. All of these are taught by parents and teachers when you are a child, but you forget them when you grow up. The pure norms of Jiujiang, Jiujiang's norms, and Jiujiang's norms serve as the benchmark for judging things.

Although I am ignorant when it comes to business management, I know that if you do things contrary to morality, you will not be successful. This can be regarded as a simple belief. This is a simple benchmark, but it is also a very correct one. principle. If you follow this principle to run your business, you will not be confused, you will be able to stride forward on the right path, and you will be able to lead your career to success.

If you want to ask me the reason for my success, I think the reason is this, that is to say, my talents may be limited, but I have a simple but very powerful guideline to pursue the correct principles of life.

Is it right or wrong to be a human being? Is it in line with or against basic ethics and morals? I regard this as the most important norm in life, keep it in mind, and stick to it throughout my life.

In today's Japan, many people regard ethics and morality as outdated and outdated things. Section 2: World War. Money morality was wrongly used and became a weapon for militaristic ideological education. World War II Later, Japan reflected on this, but went to the other extreme. It was taboo to impose morality. However, morality is the crystallization of wisdom cultivated by mankind for a long time and is an indispensable benchmark for regulating people's daily life. The modern Japanese use ups and downs. For reasons, we reject the wisdom accumulated over a long period of life in the past and lose many precious and indispensable things due to excessive pursuit of so-called convenience. Ethics and morality are one of them.

Returning to the most basic principles of life and using them to regulate people's daily lives are the requirements of today's era. The time has come to recover lost wisdom.

The truth of life can be experienced through hard work.

So, how can we improve our personality? What exactly should you do to cultivate your moral character? Do you want to stop doing special things in deep mountains and practice special training? No different than in this secular society, working hard every day is enough.

Later chapters of this book will explain in detail what Sakyamuni said about enlightenment guidance. One of the most important ones is diligence. The so-called diligence means working hard, without distractions, and focusing on the work in front of you. This is the most important and effective way to improve your xinxing and hone your personality.

It is generally believed that the purpose of labor is to obtain remuneration, and labor is just a means of making a living. A happy life should be about working less and getting more, more leisure, and more entertainment. People with this outlook on life even think that labor is hard work that they have to do.

However, labor has lofty value and far-reaching significance for people. Labor has the effect of restraining desires, tempering the mind, and shaping personality. Labor is not only for survival and food and clothing, but it also hates human sentiments. .

Concentrate, work tirelessly, and devote yourself to every day's work. This is the most noble practice, which can hone the soul and enhance the realm of thought.

Farmers in the second house who respect the virtues and grow up in poor families have no knowledge, so they rely on one step and one knock, working in the fields from morning to night, under the stars and the moon, being honest and diligent, persevering, and striving for excellence. Only by relying on this, He turned wasteland into fertile farmland and accomplished great things.

Due to his outstanding performance, Ninomiya Zonoku was soon appointed by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Although he had not studied the special legislation of the upper class before, he still showed it in his speech and behavior. Showing nobility and majesty.

This shows that the hard work in the field, covered with sweat and soil, has unknowingly cultivated her heart, cultivated his personality, tempered her will, and raised his soul to the highest level. Sublime realm.

Concentrating on one thing or another and working hard means striving for excellence. In this process, the soul is naturally purified and a strong personality is formed.

The noble value of labor is here to talk about tempering the mind. You may think of religious practice, but if you love your work and devote yourself to it, as long as you do this, you can achieve the purpose of practice.

There is a proverb in Latin that is more important than completing the work is to perfect the personality of the worker, but the personality of the worker must be improved and perfected during work, which means a correct life Philosophy, the spirit that can only be generated in hard work and sweat, can only be tempered in daily unremitting labor.

To immerse yourself in your own work, continue to study and work hard, this means cherishing every today and every moment in the life given by God.

Our factory tells its employees that they must live every day extremely seriously. You only have one life, and you cannot waste your life in vain. The seriousness of your life has reached the extreme, which seems silly, but as long as you persist in this attitude towards life, An ordinary person can be transformed into an extraordinary person.

Time is called celebrities who have reached the pinnacle in their respective fields. They must have gone through the same journey. Labor not only creates economic value, but also enhances the value of people themselves.

There is no need to break away from the secular world. The workplace is the best place to hone your will. Work itself is the best practice. If you work hard every day, you can build a noble personality and achieve a happy life. I hope Let’s all keep this in mind.

Change your way of thinking and your life will change 180 degrees.

What can we do to make our lives better? Happier, I use the following method to explain.

Life. The result of work is equal to the way of thinking, multiplied by passion and then multiplied by ability.

That is to say, the results of life and work are obtained by multiplying the above three factors, rather than adding them.

First of all, ability can also be said to be talent and IQ, which are mostly innate qualifications, including health and motor nerves, etc., while enthusiasm refers to the motivation and level of effort at work, which are acquired factors. It can be controlled by one's own will, and both can be scored from zero to 100 points.

Because there is a multiplicative relationship, people who are capable but lack enthusiasm. The scores are not high and the results are not good. On the contrary, the ability is relatively weak, but because they are aware of their own shortcomings and work hard, and are full of burning enthusiasm in life and work, such people achieve results far ahead of those lazy people who are capable. .

Among the three elements, the most important is the way of thinking. It can even be said that the way of thinking determines the outcome of life. The term "thinking way" is a bit general. It refers to people's mentality and their attitude towards others. It also includes the philosophical concepts and ideals mentioned earlier, etc.

Why is the way of thinking most important? Because it has plus and minus, it can score below zero and can range from minus 100 to plus 100.

Therefore, as mentioned just now, you have strong ability and high enthusiasm, but your way of thinking is in the wrong direction, so the method is copying. Because the three are multiplicative, the result will be a corresponding negative value.

I’m afraid everyone will laugh when I say it. I have a college diploma. During the difficult period of employment, because there was no way out, I was not hired after taking this exam many times. Since I couldn't find a normal job, I might as well just become a knowledge-based gang member, in this era where the mentally retarded are at a disadvantage. It might be more promising to join the underworld where people pay attention to loyalty. At that time, I had this twisted mentality and thought about this issue quite seriously.

If I had really taken that path at that time, I might have become a small gang leader. However, in such an organization, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to have a happy life because the way of thinking is distorted and copied.

So, what is a positive way of thinking? You don’t need to think too complicated about this issue, just use common sense to judge it.

Always positive, constructive, grateful, coordinated, good at working with people, cheerful, positive attitude toward things, full of kindness, compassion, and caring , diligent and contented, not selfish, not greedy, etc.

These words seem to be clichés, slogans posted in primary school classrooms, simple ethics and morals, but these are the truths that cannot be ignored. We must not only use our minds to understand them, And let them take over our hearts and become our flesh and blood.

It is the law of the universe that all your wishes come true.

Always keep the above-mentioned positive way of thinking, give full play to your talents, and devote all your enthusiasm. This is life. The secret to achieving great success is the king of success in life, because this attitude towards life is in line with the laws of the universe. . There is a saying in Buddhism that thoughts create karma, so the cause is the cause of phenomena, that is to say, what you think in your mind is the cause, and the results of this cause will appear in reality, so whatever you think in your mind, the content of your thinking is very important. Importantly, Buddhism teaches people not to have evil thoughts in their thoughts. A summary of philosophers who advocate their own thinking, Mr. Tianfeng is in the same position. It also tells us that we must never cultivate evil thoughts in our hearts.

What kind of blueprint you draw in your heart determines what kind of life you will live. Strong thoughts will appear as phenomena. Please remember this law of the universe first. Some people think that my words are too mysterious and are unwilling to accept them. However, this is.

From the various personal experiences I have had so far, I am convinced of the absolute law.

That is to say, if you think of good things and kind thoughts in your heart, your life will be beautiful. If you always use bad thoughts and are full of evil thoughts, your life will not go smoothly. This law is in the universe. It plays its role in the process, because the thoughts in the heart will not produce immediate results, so it is not easy for people to understand this law. However, looking at this law over a long period of time such as 20 or 30 years, Lin Yan’s Most people's lives are the kind of situation they often picture in their minds.

Therefore, having a pure and beautiful heart is a major prerequisite for us to think about how to spend our lives, because a beautiful heart, especially the thought of making contributions to the world and society, , is the will of the universe itself.

There is a force in the universe, which makes all things evolve and develop better. We can call this force the will of the universe, if it occurs according to the will of the universe. If you move with the trend, our life will bring success and prosperity. If you move with this trend, you will inevitably lead to decline and decline.

Therefore, if you want to make everything in the world more beautiful, with such an altruistic and caring heart, and make unremitting efforts, you can follow the trend of the universe and live a happy life. On the contrary, hate and envy Others just want to take advantage of themselves. People who are full of self-interest will have a worse life.

The so-called will of the universe that runs through the entire universe is full of care, sincerity and harmony. It wants all things to do their best and the entire universe to grow and develop in a better direction. This conclusion starts from The Big Bang theory of cosmic physics can be strongly supported and explained.

This issue will be elaborated in the later chapters of this book. Here is a brief explanation. The origin of the universe lies in only a small number of basic ions. These basic ions were combined through the Big Bang to form protons. Neutrons and mesons form the nucleus of an atom, and then pass through the electron junction to form the original atomic hydrogen atom.

Then various atoms and even molecules are generated. They were then composed of polymers, and eventually higher animals such as humans were born. The more we understand about this situation of cosmic evolution, the more we cannot help but think that there is a great mission, which is to promote all things. Growth and development.

in. I have been engaged in product development and manufacturing for a long time. During this process, I often felt the existence of this great plant 70%, and came into contact with its great wisdom. Relying on its guidance, I successfully developed a variety of new products and moved smoothly on the road of life. To this day, it is no exaggeration to say so.

Therefore, the ceramics initially developed are called precision ceramics, which are widely used in high-tech products such as computers and mobile phones. In the technological development of precision ceramics, it is in a leading position in the world and continues to make new breakthroughs. , However, in terms of ceramics, I originally majored in petrochemistry and organic chemistry as a layman. Because I had no way to find a job, I had to join Jingdong Yan's company that manufactures insulating porcelain bottles belonging to inorganic chemistry.

In addition to my lack of basic knowledge and professional skills about ceramics, this company continued to suffer losses and only had very rudimentary research equipment and instruments. I had no choice but to go to the site every day and concentrate on research and conduct various experiments.

However, under this situation, not long after, I actually developed a brand new material.

This kind of material was successfully cooperated with the research institute of Yiyi Company in the United States a year ago for the first time in the world. The material I developed is completely consistent in structure with the material of Yiyi Company, and the synthesis method is due to the One, it is completely different, that is to say, my synthesis method is also unique in the world.

Instead of using precision equipment and conducting experiments in strict order, in a dilapidated electric porcelain bottle factory in Kyoto, a fledgling researcher, with his bare hands, actually produced scientific research results that matched those of the world's first-class companies. This is like winning the lottery by chance, but what is incredible is that such luck happened one after another. I left this company to found it. Since then, this kind of luck has allowed me and my company to develop rapidly.

A treasure trove of wisdom that continues to bring wisdom to mankind.

Why is this? I think this is neither accidental luck nor the result of my talents. It might as well be realized that somewhere in this world, somewhere in this universe, there is a treasure house of wisdom and a treasure house of truth. We can inadvertently From there we draw the hidden wisdom that sparks the sparkle of our minds and the inspiration to create.

This treasure house of wisdom can also be called the well of wisdom. Its owner is not us humans. We might as well assume that it is the universal truth hidden in the universe of heaven and fire. It is precisely because of accepting this truth. and wisdom, human beings can achieve technological progress and the development of civilization, and I was triggered by devoting myself to music and research. The creativity at one end of the well of wisdom sparks success.

In the following chapters, I will also talk about our establishment of the Kyoto Prize to commend researchers who have made pioneering achievements for mankind in various fields. After contacting these researchers, I was surprised that they none. Like me, I have experienced moments of creative inspiration as if I were inspired by the gods.
