wolf road

Chapter 2 Wolf Spirit (2)
Most people think that this shows that adversity can create talents, but prosperity can only bury talents.I don't think so.The theory of dialectical materialism tells us that external causes are the conditions for change, internal causes are the basis for changes, and external causes work through internal causes.Adversity and prosperity are external conditions, not the main reason for success. The key to success lies in the exertion of subjective initiative.

What is the reason why the rich monk who was in good times failed to reach the South China Sea, while the poor monk who was in adversity finally did?The fundamental reason is that the poor monk has a tenacious will and a firm belief that he will not give up until he reaches his goal.It is this kind of will and belief in the heart that the poor monk can reach the South China Sea.This also provides a source of motivation for us to learn the law of wolf nature.

The experience of Temur also proves this point.He was pursued by the enemy and had to hide in a collapsed house.Just when he fell into confusion and contemplation, he saw an ant crawling forward with a grain of corn on its back.The ant repeated it 59 times, and each time it fell down together with the corn on a raised place, but it couldn't get over the hurdle.oh look!By the 60th time, it finally worked!The ant's behavior strongly encouraged the wandering hero, making him hopeful for future victories.

Many sages realized the meaning of life more deeply after going through many painful turning points, relied on tenacious will to continue their vitality, wrote classics handed down one after another, and made a lot of great achievements.It is in these turning points that the tenacity and magnanimity of the sages made their personalities and thoughts condense into a long-lasting fragrance over the long river of history. It is also these turning points that temper their wills and inspire them. It made many people sigh more... The tenacity of wolves let us see more than that.Wang Xizhi is one of the most outstanding calligraphers in the history of our country. He is revered as a calligrapher in the history of Chinese art.His spirit of hard training, intensive study of posture, unique approach, and perseverance has always been a model for future generations.

There are also many examples abroad that embody the tenacity of wolves.

The Italian philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer Bruno was the most famous and the most resilient of all the people who were burned at the stake in human history.His fame is not only due to his heresy, but also due to his firm determination and brave behavior to defend his own doctrine.In fact, long before Bruno, the Polish astronomer Copernicus won the trust of quite a few people with his astonishing heliocentric theory, which made the Holy See, which blindly insisted on the geocentric theory, very uncomfortable.But Copernicus was very smart, and he didn't publish his "On the Movement of Celestial Spheres" until before his death, which made it impossible for the Holy See to use it.After Bruno, Galileo confessed to the Holy See against his will and announced that he would give up his theory in exchange for more life time.Bruno could do the same, but he was very tenacious and chose a sharp and difficult path of confrontation. His unhesitating spirit led him to the religious court and the stake set up for him.

Absorbing the essence of early human civilization, Giordano Bruno had the possibility of independent thinking. Since he was 18 years old, he began to doubt the theory of the Trinity. He gradually deviated from the track of God, feeling that God is not the ultimate cause, the world and the universe With its own cause and origin, the universe is one.His range of reading and heretical views gradually attracted the attention of the academy, and he was censored several times, but he did not stop these activities.When he was 29 years old, Bruno heard that the Holy See seemed to be collecting his 130 crimes, so he resolutely embarked on the road of exile and continued to promote his doctrine.He went back and forth, and finally escaped from the Spanish ruled area, where religious persecution was particularly severe, and fled from west to east in northern Italy. He went to Venice, Padua, Milan and other places, and then went to France and Switzerland. In the spring of 1583, he was introduced to England by his friends, and was sheltered by Queen Elizabeth’s policy of religious tolerance. Swirling Beasts, etc. were all published in London. In 1585, Bruno returned to Paris, had a polemic with the Catholics, and was forced to give lectures in Germany.

In 1591 he returned to Italy. In 1592, the 44-year-old Bruno was arrested under the report of others, and began eight years of interrogation and torture.On February 8, 1600, in Rome's Flora Square, he was executed by the Inquisition with brutal and inhumane burning at the stake.

Bruno's life in exile was extremely difficult under the circumstances at the time, and any local church organization might hand him over to the Holy See.In order to make a living, he had to cater to the hobbies of those in power in various countries in mysticism, alchemy, astronomy and astrology, and devoted part of his time and energy to research in this area, and wrote many books dedicated to them in order to get their protection.In addition, he spent most of his time promoting and perfecting his own theory.It has been like this from the beginning, and he never gave up his doctrine.During the execution of the burning at the Flora Square in Rome, a witness named Schop solemnly mentioned that when the lighting ceremony began, the guard of honor showed him the crucifix of Jesus, and he turned his face away and looked away contemptuously.Bruno represents the noble dignity of human beings in the face of tyrannical fire!While waiting for the court to pronounce the sentence, Bruno said contemptuously: You sentence me, and I will listen to the verdict.It can be seen that you are not as good as me, you are so timid.

This ending Bruno knew from the very beginning that he deeply violated the rules of the game, and the reason is: reason should serve faith, not the other way around.It was for this reason that when he was first suspected of heresy, he had no hope of being pardoned by the Holy See.The Holy See also knew that if Bruno was forgiven, then he was praised for denying the existence of God.Both sides have no way out.History is often like this: a person who thinks independently is likely to be regarded as a heretic or eventually become a heretic.It is very strange, is this the misfortune of human beings, or the luck of human beings?

Mankind's search for truth did not end at the stake in 1600.After Bruno, only 32 years later, Galileo published "A Dialogue Between Two World Systems", again supporting Copernicus' heliocentric theory and indirectly supporting Bruno; about two centuries later, Laplace proposed that the solar system is a Perfect self-adjusting celestial system; Kant proposed the nebula hypothesis of the solar system; Nietzsche announced that God is dead; about three centuries later, Einstein proposed the theory of special relativity and general relativity; Steve Hawking proposed the theory of the big bang... From here On the one hand, human beings are getting farther and farther away from God, but they are getting closer and closer to the great truth.

Everyone has a sense of mission to keep moving forward.It is everyone's responsibility to work hard, and we all need to have a belief in who is better than me for such a responsibility.

Lincoln, who was born impoverished, faced setbacks throughout his life. He lost eight elections eight times, failed in business twice, and even had a nervous breakdown once.The road is dilapidated and slippery.

I slipped on one foot, and the other foot was also unstable because of it, but I came back and told myself: It was just a slip, not that I couldn't get up after dying.So said Abraham Lincoln after losing his bid for the Senate.It is precisely because he never gave up at all, worked hard towards his goal from beginning to end, and never gave up, that he became one of the greatest presidents in American history.

For those weak, setbacks have become an insurmountable gap in their lives.Here they linger, moaning.But they didn't think that this gap is just themselves. Only by conquering themselves, surpassing themselves, and possessing wolf nature, can success follow naturally.But they don't have the courage to face setbacks, so they also lost their goals, and they gave up a lot of things that belonged to them.There was once a Japanese youth who applied for a job in a big company, but the news he got was that he was not accepted.In desperation, he prepared to commit suicide, only to learn that his failure to be admitted was due to a false positive caused by a computer glitch.

Just when he was overjoyed when he received the letter of appointment, a letter of dismissal flew into his hands, saying that he could not face setbacks well and would definitely not be qualified for future work.Think about it, this young man's chance of success is in his own hands, but because he can't bear setbacks and conquer himself, he let this opportunity slip through his fingers.If you don't have the courage to accept the challenge of setbacks, it means that the chips you have accumulated for success will lose their weight, and you haven't got the new chips, so how can you reach the pinnacle of success?

Wolves are not afraid of failure. It is their prey that drives them forward. They know that if they choose to give up, they will face hunger or even death.Sometimes we may think that our setbacks are great, and some people may say that I have suffered too much, and the hope of success is very slim.But as long as we lock on our targets like wolves, stick to them, and rely on tenacity to endure, there is hope that our prey will not escape our grasp.

The bitterness in life has made people disappointed and shed tears; the long years of hard struggle have made people aging, but because of patience, struggle, and constant looking up, our lives stand firm in all the sorrows and hardships because of tenacity. above the ordeal.

One day, the drama of our life will come to an end. After all, what we want to express is not those fame, but the inner feelings and the details that have touched us deeply.The various external shocks, tempering, and opportunities we experience will eventually turn into the will of our hearts that are constantly tempered.To keep reaching, to keep going through our arrival, until one day it becomes one with ourselves and becomes a seed—a seed of tenacity.The tenacious and tenacious seed will not shrink back because of its thinness and smallness. It just drills and stands desperately to survive the predicament, and finally grows into a tall and tall tree.

Resilience makes excellence
Former U.S. President Coolidge wrote such a passage in his memoirs in his later years: Nothing in the world can replace tenacity and tenacity.Talent is not enough—people with unrecognized talents abound, and geniuses who accomplish nothing can also be seen everywhere; education is also impossible—the world is full of people who learn but are useless, and what they learn is not useful; only tenacity and tenacity can be invincible.

Today is a cruel world, full of business and money, material things overwhelm our spirit.However, we cannot choose the era we live in, nor can we escape the real existence, we can only adapt to it with difficulty and earnestly.This is our destiny.Even if we don't want to admit it, the fact is that we are just ordinary people among all living beings, and most of us want to live a simple and boring life.In order to live, we have to face things that we don't like at all, and accept concepts that we don't agree with.

In a sense, we ordinary people are pitifully weak, and some of us are even worse than a wolf that is not favored by God.In order to survive, in order to survive better, we should learn from wolves.

In life and work, we can fail, and we can even fail again and again, but we must never lose confidence, tenacity and tenacity.The great musician Beethoven once said: "Excellent people have one great advantage: they are indomitable in adverse and difficult encounters."The poet Dante once said: I admire courage, tenacity and confidence, because they have always helped me to deal with the difficulties I encountered in life.Maybe we are not outstanding people, but as long as we have a tenacious and tenacious spirit, we can bravely face all difficulties and setbacks like wolves and overcome them.Even if we do not achieve the desired results in the worldly sense, that is not our own fault, at least spiritually we are successful.

When you encounter setbacks, all you need to do is to have tenacity and tenacity, and use confidence and perseverance to support the next action.Many people think that it is very stupid to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to climb Mount Everest, because many people have paid their precious lives for it, and even those who climbed to the top of the mountain return empty-handed, which is really not worthwhile. matter.But when a reporter interviewed a team member who climbed Mount Everest, he said: After I climbed Mount Everest, I realized that I had conquered nothing but myself.In fact, this kind of behavior is to prove the ability of human beings, to prove the ability of human beings to be tenacious and tenacious, to give spurs and encouragement to human beings, and to inspire people's courage.In the face of difficulties, failures and blows, we can encourage ourselves with tenacity and tenacity.

life and will

Wolves are challenged from the first day they can walk independently - learning to forage for themselves.Mother wolf considers the survival of her offspring, so when her offspring can walk on their own, it is a kind of exercise for her offspring to drive them out of their comfort zone and let them forage for themselves.Only after experiencing hardship, danger, and adversity can the wolf's vitality become stronger and its will stronger.

As with wolves, so with humans.

Gogol tells an intriguing story in "Portrait":
The young Chaltykov was a very talented and promising painter.His professor once warned him: cherish your talents, don't follow the crowd, don't just know how to try to attract people's attention... However, he couldn't stand the temptation of money and vanity, and tried his best to cater to the wishes of the ladies in the upper class. Make the portrait the way they want it to be.As a result, he became famous, and all the painters called him a rare genius.He became rich and rich, but his brush became cold and dull.In his prime, his talent has faded.At this time, the Academy of Fine Arts invited him to judge a new work.This is a true masterpiece!The author is his familiar friend.He trembled!He thought of the talents he had had... he was filled with resentment and jealousy.He made up his mind to use his huge wealth in the world to buy high-quality goods in the art garden at high prices, and then tore them into pieces one by one.Ultimately, struggling in a web of greed and jealousy, he took his own life.

In stark contrast to some weak-willed people is the strength of the wolf.A hunter once told me this story:
Once when he was hunting, he found a newborn wolf cub in a cave. After confirming that there was no danger, he took the little wolf home and decided to tame the little wolf.When the wolf grew up, it became restless. It often bit the iron chains around its neck, endured the pain and struggled with the chains, trying to get rid of its shackles and return to the forest.The blood trickled down its neck slowly, and it still didn't stop.After several days in a row, it finally fell down.It knows that life does not exist on the handouts of others—even if it has never been taught by other wolves, it is definitely the fundamental boundary between wolves and dogs, wolves and ligers, wolves and most people.Not a wolf in the mountains will cross this line and surrender to humans.

Refusing to obey is the absolute rule of being a real wolf.It has too much spiritual power to be ashamed and admired.Few human beings are as indomitable as wolves to live according to their own will, even at the cost of their lives, against an almost irresistible external force.
