Middle-Aged People Should Proactively Embrace Hardships for a Smoother Life
Emotional Prose First Release
Originality is Important, Plagiarism Will Be Pursued
There is a Story in the Successology that Makes People Deeply Think: Someone Said to Ma Yun: I Admire You, Able to Survive the Most Difficult Years of Entrepreneurship. Ma Yun Said: I Admire You More, So Many Years of Struggling, Can Endure a Short Period of Hardship, Will Not Endure a Lifetime of Suffering.
Therefore, someone summarized the conclusion: The hardships one experiences in life will lead to a short period of hardship, but will not lead to a lifetime of suffering. A middle-aged man often says, 'I wish I knew earlier.'
Isn't it so, 'Knowing too late' will not bring good results. Some hardships, if not actively faced, will come to you. As people grow older, actively embracing four kinds of hardships will make life more smooth.
The hardship of striving
Many people now understand this. They used to divide their lives into two: one is the image they wanted, and the other is the image they disliked. Unfortunately, many years later, they became the image they disliked, finally realizing that if they hadn't struggled, they would now be so miserable.
Because they have experienced all kinds of sweetness and bitterness in the world, they feel they have suffered enough, and now they don't want to suffer any more, nor do they want the next generation to suffer what they have suffered. Therefore, they think of striving at this time, and understand the hardship of striving. It's better to endure hardship early, even if it takes a period of low morale and disapproval, as long as they can overcome a period of hardship, there will always be a chance to succeed.
Ma Yun once said at the initial stage of Alibaba's establishment, when expanding the market, 'Everyone should learn to struggle without understanding, without support, and without anyone to help.'
The earliest Alibaba, including every starting stage small enterprises and private entrepreneurs, all experienced this. Others didn't understand, they had to bear it themselves; no one supported them, they had to hold on; no funding support, they found ways to save money.
Only by experiencing the hardship of striving can one truly understand the meaning of 'Without wind and rain, how can one see the rainbow.' But the hardship of striving, if experienced, will create a different life situation.
The hardship of torture
People are at their most difficult times when they feel powerless and can only entrust everything to fate, and all follow the fate.
For example, a wife gives birth in the delivery room, and a doctor suddenly comes out of the operating room and tells her husband: Your wife is difficult to give birth, at this time, the husband will be very tormented, sitting anxiously outside the operating room, and desperately tormented because he doesn't know what happened to his wife, but he can't help, and has no power to assist.
A company is facing huge economic pressure because of poor management, but it has tried all methods and still hangs by a thread, at this time, it's most torturous.
Having experienced the hardship of torture, one realizes the meaning of life more fully, values the precious life gained, is often grateful, and deals with people with kindness and gentleness.
The hardship of fitness
Everyone wants to retain their youth and maintain the slender, delicate curves of their 20s, but they often sleep until noon and stay up late to surf on social media, constantly admiring pictures, and often go to health and wellness spas for leisure wine, leading a life like Piggy, but wanting to have the figure of Monkey King, they realize this is ridiculous.
Winter practice for nine days, summer practice for nine days, practice for 365 days a year in the gym, sweating profusely, never stopping, only then can you have a beautiful angel face and a fairy-like figure, only then can you have a 'no longer young' appearance, and only then can you have a 'twenty-year-old's youthful beauty'. The hardship of fitness, eating will become a goddess, eating will become a ghost.
Learning hardship
Starting from elementary school to graduation, few people understand the meaning of learning. Many people think, 'Parents arranged for me to read and study, so I'll just go along with it.'
When a teacher tells the story of 'Suspended over the beam, piercing the sparrow's nest', people will wonder what kind of mentality is needed to achieve such a state?
When you get involved in society and realize that 'Book learning is useless in the end' and people dislike you for 'not being cultured, it's really scary'
Only by enduring the hardship of learning can you change your situation, and people who can endure learning hardship are often favored by the gods of fate, and lucky encounters will happen.
Learning hardship, eating will become interesting.
