Whatever your character, your fate will be
Philosopher Bacon said: Destiny is often caused by people themselves, and everyone is his own designer.
Whatever a person does in his life and whatever result he gets, the cause usually lies within himself.
Do good things, win people's hearts, receive blessings, stick to your good thoughts, and live a solid life.
Be a kind person, behave righteously, sit upright, and be worthy of God and yourself.
All good luck is the good you have accumulated bit by bit, and all disasters are the evil you have sown.
In the end, what matters in life is character.
01
If people are kind, God will not deceive them
The ancients said: A small victory depends on wisdom, a big victory depends on virtue.
Being smart can help you win small profits for a while, but if you want to be safe for the rest of your life, you need not to rely on extraordinary intelligence, but on virtue.
Human calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and shrewdness is not as good as kindness.
Not long ago, a 96-year-old stall owner became famous all over the Internet. Her outlook on life touched many people.
In Zhengzhou, Henan, every time it reaches 11 o'clock in the night, 96-year-old Grandma Zhang will set up a pancake stall on the street and start working.
One by one, the prepared cakes are put into the pot, fried and then handed to everyone who comes home late. The stall is slowly closed until 5 o'clock in the morning.
The pies she makes are full of fillings and use fresh vegetables. Because they are both delicious and affordable, her pies are widely praised.
Someone asked her: "Why do you sell cakes with larger fillings than others? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
The old man replied: "Those who have contributed, if you can get it for them I can’t get enough to eat. How much is the food worth?”
Someone asked her: “It’s not easy to set up a stall at this late hour.”
The old man replied: "As long as the money comes from the right way, nothing is difficult; if the money comes from the wrong way, no matter how easy it is, it will not be easy."
In order to give up part of the business to his peers next to him, he decided to The elderly will also stop selling stalls for a period of time.
She felt that her family had no burden, and the family had to send their children to school, so they had to leave a space for them to eat.
After setting up a stall for 30 years, the old man’s stall has given countless people thoughtful comfort, and her kindness has also made many people feel at ease.
Some netizens lamented: "The body is still so strong at the age of 96. This is probably the best blessing that having a good outlook on life and good character can bring to the elderly."
A kind person, Treat people sincerely, be consistent on the outside, and be transparent in the heart, making people feel comfortable at all times.
A kind person is tolerant, never cares, has kindness in his eyes, and makes people feel at ease in everything.
As the saying goes: Suffering is a blessing.
I saw an explanation that makes sense:
"In life, there is a kind of person who never suffers losses. He is shrewd to a certain extent, but what advantage does he take? When something good happens, , no one will think about him, they are afraid that he will take advantage of him, and this kind of person will get nothing in the end.
On the other hand, everyone will think that this person is honest and willing to cooperate with him, because I believe he will not harm himself.
Most of the time, you should not look at the outcome of something, but the final outcome of a person. ”
The land is not thick and cannot bear it. Mountains and seas; people's hearts are not thick, and moral friendship cannot be obtained.
Only by being kind and following the right path can you win the hearts of the people and you will surely go further.

People without virtue are bound to suffer disasters
Zhihu netizen @鱼小倐 told an incident:
A few years ago Recently, the village where she lived was undergoing renovation, and a village party secretary took advantage of the renovation and embezzled more than one million yuan.
Not long after, the village party secretary suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.
It was originally a small operation, but after the operation, the wound could not heal and became infected repeatedly. Although he was hospitalized for more than a year, he finally died of the disease.
Coincidentally, he spent more than one million yuan on treatment for more than a year, which happened to be the money embezzled back then.
When I was young, I often heard the old man say: Just do it, God has its own arrangements, and kind people will be rewarded.
Sometimes I think about it, and this sentence actually confirms another meaning: everything you do will eventually come back to you.
Just like what Caesar the Great said:
"Before God punishes a person, it will first let him be proud for a while and live a peaceful life. This way, before he suffers retribution Only then will there be piercing pain. ”
Everything in the world seems to illustrate a truth: there is cause and effect in this life, and there will be disaster for those without virtue.
Some time ago, "Kuaishou No. 1 Brother" Simba knelt down and announced his comeback, claiming to "take all users home", but the reputation was obviously not as good as before.
At the end of last year, Simba was reported for selling fake bird's nests. At first, he refused to admit it, and even exposed the reporter's mobile phone number and other information in the live broadcast room, implying that fans were involved in online violence and doxxing Ms. Zhang. .
For a long time after that, Ms. Zhang lived with endless threats and abuse from Simba fans, and therefore lost her job.
But after all, what is true cannot be fake, and what is false cannot become true. Not long after, Simba was banned for 60 days due to the "fake bird's nest" incident.
It is obvious that after this high-profile comeback, Simba’s live broadcast sales have been much lower than before, with a cliff-like decline. It has also been boycotted by the entire network due to “road closures” and other incidents.
There is an old saying in China: If people are good, even though blessings have not yet arrived, disasters are far away; if people are evil, although disasters have not yet come, blessings have been far away.
Everything happens for a reason, but many people have to wait until the water is overflowing before they can truly understand the saying: You will not live if you do it yourself.
If a person only has interests in his heart but no virtue, no matter how smart he is, he will be harmed by his own cleverness and eventually be dragged into the abyss.

Whatever your character is, so is your fate
There is a folk song in the West that goes:
This is the famous saying The result of the "butterfly effect", and a person's character is like the first nail, determining the fate of your life.
A good character is the best Feng Shui. It can bring you good luck and lead you on the right path.
Even if you have experienced hardships and gone through ups and downs, there will always be sunny days in life because you have a rare kindness in your heart.
Losing your character means breaking the rules. Even if you can be proud for a while, you will never be proud for the rest of your life.
As the writer Li Siyuan wrote:
"Many times, a person can rely on cunning, cunning, and dishonesty to obtain some improper benefits, and even seem to be living a good life. .
But if you want to go far, stand firm, and have the last laugh, without the support of character, it will be a castle in the air, and your character will collapse sooner or later. ”
I can’t help but think. A story:
It is said that after Emperor Xianfeng ascended the throne, he ordered his ministers to recommend talented people.
Jin Anqing was quite talented and proficient in financial management. He wanted to achieve his goal of making money by becoming an official, and also wanted to be promoted with the help of Zeng Guofan's recommendation, so he asked to see Zeng Guofan seven times.
But in Zeng Guofan's eyes, this man had evil intentions and could not be trusted, so he refused again and again, and finally recommended Jiang Zhongyuan.
Jiang Zhongyuan was an upright and loyal person. During the examination period, he escorted the coffins of his friends back to his place of origin twice. Despite the long journey, he did not complain at all.
It can be seen that if you want to succeed, you must first learn to be a good person. People with outstanding moral character are often more reliable than those with extraordinary ability.
What is the highest state of life?
Wang Xiaobo has a saying that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people:
"In life, you will encounter some good things and some bad things.
I can afford the good things. , I can bear bad things. It’s not bad to be an ordinary person in this way.”
Life is a practice. As long as you behave yourself, ordinary people can live their own lives. Wonderful.
Please give me a thumbs up, I hope you can cultivate a good character, choose a good path, and enjoy good Feng Shui.
