'Knife needs stone grinding, people need affairs grinding.'
Many outstanding heroes are forged from harsh environments.
People are stronger in adversity than in favorable circumstances.
When we are in adversity, let us remember these three sentences, good fortune will naturally descend upon us.
Adversity is for honing one's character
'A crooked stick is used for rubbing, a broken stick is used for grinding. This is the art of refining jade,' which means hardship can refine people.
A poor and difficult life is a means of testing heroic figures, those who can overcome it will surely become outstanding, and if they cannot, it is not simply failure, but also the loss of confidence in life.
A group of explorers went into the forest, they climbed mountains and crossed rivers and streams. When the water ran out, they shared it with each other, and at the point of 'exhaustion of supplies,' they quenched their thirst with rainwater and filled their stomachs with wild fruits.
Unfortunately, while climbing, they lost their compass and returned to the right path with their own senses.
However, the difficulties continued to test them, and someone fell ill. The captain, fearing contagion, decided to abandon him, which was opposed by the others.
This exploration team struggled for 49 days in adversity and finally returned safely.
When facing difficulties, bite your teeth and fight bravely, they used unwavering perseverance to compose a symphony of life and sang a song of life and death in the human world.
All difficulties are to hone one's character, all are for grinding better selves, all are for 'forging' unique you, to achieve this rich and colorful world.
Adversity is another kind of fulfillment
Difficulties and setbacks can refine one's temperament and enhance one's skills.
If you regard hardship as a test of yourself, you will persevere. If you have inner resistance, you will become listless.
Tang Dynasty Emperor Zong Li Cunxu, in the early days, he worked hard to realize his father's wish and established the 'Later Tang Dynasty.'
After the founding of the country, he was ignorant and incompetent, wrongfully executed a general, indulged in pleasures with courtesans, and was finally killed by rebels.
People are always in favorable circumstances, which easily leads to arrogance and complacency, forgetting the hardships along the way, forgetting the vows, losing cautious measures, and will eventually receive appropriate punishment.
Zola said, 'Do not be complacent because of good luck, do not be discouraged by misfortune, true strong people are good at finding shadows in favorable circumstances and light in adversity, and constantly calibrate their goals.'
Store up for the future in adversity
'The Analects of Mencius' says, 'When a great task is entrusted to a person, he must first torment his mind, toil his muscles and bones, starve his body, empty his body, confuse his actions, so that he can move his heart, endure his nature, and enhance his abilities.'
Stephen Hawking suffered from muscular dystrophy, he was not frightened by the disease, he overcame countless difficulties and stood up from setbacks, bravely faced misfortune, and continued to devote himself to research, and finally stood at the peak of science. Adversity makes one's inner awareness, one's character steadfast, and one's adaptability to adversity enhanced, thus better playing the role of adversity.
Hardship is a whetstone for success and a ladder to peak
Brave face hardship to forge one's wings and become a successful person.
Even if life has a thousand shapes, whether it is a favorable circumstance or an adverse circumstance, for us is a test
Goutouzi said, 'Whether it's a favorable circumstance or an adverse circumstance, you must have these two abilities: don't be reckless when the wind is right, and don't be arrogant when the wind is against you.'
Don't be afraid of the mirror, pursue with all your heart, overcome difficulties, and you will turn adversity into fortune
When all problems in life can be easily solved, good fortune will descend, and life will be transparent!
