Life is like a pot of porridge. If you rush with strong heat, you will naturally 'not be able to eat hot tofu'. Only by slow-cooking and simmering can you extract the most exquisite flavors.
A sweet life is one that is simmered.
Through it or out of it
As Zeng Guofan said: 'People are all made through perseverance, skills are made through coercion.'
In life, we all inevitably encounter setbacks and difficulties, and spend a few gloomy and dark years
Some people give up easily when faced with difficulties, abandoning successful endeavors midway, and thus unable to appreciate the beauty of the summit. But some people are not afraid of hardship, grit their teeth, and stubbornly pursue their goals, gaining growth and insight from the experience.
It's said: growth is a one-way journey. Through it or out of it
Without freezing through the cold, how can you appreciate the fragrant blossoms of plum?
Simmering is not giving up on oneself or passively compromising, but accumulating energy, waiting for the opportune moment, and then unleashing one's full potential, leading to a transformation in life.
True strength lies not in a life free of obstacles, but in the ability to persevere and grow in the face of adversity, and to be patient and focused on one's own life when at the lowest point, before an opportunity arises.
No matter how bitter life is, if you persevere, you win.
As we live, we gradually discover that some things no one can rely on; some roads must be walked alone; some times must be endured alone.
My classmate, A Peng, experienced a family misfortune last year, his father was hospitalized due to illness, and medical expenses were pouring out. His mother worked day and night, and soon fell ill herself.
A Peng was the eldest son, and his younger sister was still in college. Overnight, the entire family's burden fell on his shoulders.
Unfortunately, this was the critical stage of the project he was responsible for. To encourage the team, he couldn't show his vulnerability or embarrassment, nor could he cry. At the same time, he had to maintain a positive attitude to give the client a professional and meticulous impression.
A Peng told me that during those days, it felt like he was carrying several mountains on his shoulders, his heart was heavy but he still forced a smile. Every time he finished work, he rushed to the hospital to visit his father, and before going to sleep, his body was exhausted.
Fortunately, everything eventually got better. His father's condition stabilized, he successfully completed his project, and the income from his promotion could barely support the family's expenses.
Life gradually improved little by little.
If life becomes difficult for you, don't become pessimistic and listless. Even facing the impermanence of the world and worsening circumstances, don't give up easily. Please believe: all temporary difficulties are just that. As long as you persevere, life cannot defeat you,
After the rain stops, you will thank the strong-willed self who never gives up. You'll thank the indomitable self.
Through it or out of it, you'll find that after the rain, the plum blossoms bloom, and the rainbow appears after the rain. Through it or out of it, all beautiful things will eventually meet.
No matter how bitter or difficult life is, if you persevere, you win.
