The life insights "The Way of Heaven" brought me

Since watching the drama "The Way of Heaven", I have been thinking about a question, what is the law of survival?

Ding Yuanying once said in "The Way of Heaven" that the law of survival is very simple. Tolerance is what others cannot tolerate, and ability is what others cannot. Tolerance is a line, and ability is another line. The space between the two is the living space. , if we can really "endure what others cannot tolerate, and be capable of what others cannot tolerate", then our living space will be larger than others.

Survive? My understanding is nothing more than finding a way to keep oneself in this world. I once dreamed that one day I would be able to earn my own way of survival through my own efforts.

For a while, I had a strong desire to say goodbye to my part-time job, open a store of my own, and run my own business. However, imagination is always beautiful, but reality is always cruel.

There was a period in 2018 when I was particularly tired of the day-to-day working life. Seeing my classmates and friends doing well in their respective fields, I had the idea of ​​​​working alone. The idea of ​​fighting.

During that period, I got off work almost every day to do market research and visited every corner of the county, always trying to find a Feng Shui treasure land where I could realize my dream.

After a month, I wrote down all the research results, and then made a substantive analysis based on my own research report. The final conclusion was to give up.

Why should I give up? Why was the idea that I had vowed to do so quickly extinguished by myself?

After a month of research, I found that the only place that is truly suitable for opening a shop is a place where people gather. However, the rent in those places is quite high, which is beyond my financial strength. The second thing is the sales channel I want to choose. Variety is also an uncertain factor. I don’t have a clear goal. I’ve seen so many stores and I can’t summarize what types of products are the most popular in today’s fast-moving goods market.

Although I have more than ten years of sales experience, today’s society has changed too much. All popular elements come and go in a hurry, and physical stores have been greatly impacted by online platforms. , all economies are in the midst of changes with uncertain factors, and I cannot withstand the shock wave of such changes with my strength. I am most likely to fall victim to periods of change. So after much consideration I gave up.

My favorite little character in "The Way of Heaven" is Ouyang Xue. She is independent, self-reliant, responsible, sensible and a bit of a charlatan. I think her image and the image of the little character Liu Bing are completely representative of two types of characters.

The two of them have one thing in common: they both started their careers through small business, but Liu Bing was too eager for quick success and quick success, and he severely missed the three opportunities in front of him.

< p> He does not have Ouyang Xue's generosity, her sense of satisfaction, and her kindness. He was so eager for quick success that he missed three opportunities.

Another thing they have in common is that they all have a low starting point. They all dropped out of school prematurely and did not receive advanced education, but why did they create different lives? Because of their different cognitions, it is their character orientation that leads to their final destiny orientation. In fact, it is their character that determines their final destiny.

There is another reason that ultimately led to Liu Bing's tragic ending. Although he was a little smart, he was not kind.

A smart person may not necessarily have anything, but a kind person must have a wonderful life.

No matter how much you suffer as a person, no matter how much hardship you endure in doing things, you must keep your good intentions, but do good deeds without worrying about the future. Chasing interests is not scary, but what is scary is losing one’s moral character and bottom line in the face of interests.

I also want to work hard like Ouyang Xue and persist no matter how hard it is. Waiting patiently for the blue sea and sky that belongs to me.
