Volume 8 Chapter 2 Stay away from troubles and become the master of life [-]
Abandon things before they abandon you

Before being abandoned, a wise man will first give up, which is a wise approach.Even if you are in a dangerous situation and cannot find a solution, you must work hard to end in victory. Just like the sun, in order to prevent people from seeing its sunset, it will gradually disappear behind the clouds at the most dazzling time. People will guess whether it has gone down or not?If you can foresee that misfortune is going to happen, it is wise to exit in time so that you don't collapse when misfortune arrives.Don't wait for people to shun you before quitting, because then you have no dignity and people will even send you to your grave.A smart rider knows when to change horses, lest the horse slump mid-run and become a laughingstock.A beautiful woman should choose the right time to smash the mirror, so that she will not feel sad for the mirror when she is old.

——"The Book of Wisdom"

When life reaches a certain point, you have to give up some things. If you have too many burdens on your body, it will affect your pace and delay your journey.

The speed of social development is very fast, and the temptations increase accordingly. Many people stop their steps in the face of temptations.Faced with endless temptations, many people forget their own direction, entangled in the whirlpool, and live a mediocre life.

In fact, the "pocket" of life can only carry a certain amount of weight, and a person's journey forward is a process of constant discarding.If you don't give up, you may be "dead" by the burden on the way forward.

When Raphael was 11 years old, he went fishing on the island in the middle of the lake whenever he had the opportunity.One evening before bass fishing was banned, he and his mother came fishing again early.After installing the bait, he threw the fishing line to the center of the lake again and again, and the lake water rippled in circles under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Suddenly the other end of the fishing rod became heavy.He knew that there must be a big guy taking the bait, so he hastily pulled up the fishing line.Finally, the child carefully pulled a struggling fish out of the water.What a big fish!It's a bass.

Under the moonlight, the gills of the fish fluttered.Mom turned on the flashlight and looked at her watch. It was ten o'clock in the evening-but two hours before the perch fishing allowed.

"You have to put it back, son," said the mother.

"Mom!" cried the child.

"There will be other fish." His mother reassured him.

"There is no such big fish anymore." The child was very sad.

He looked around and couldn't see a single boat or fisherman, but he knew from the determined face on his mother's face that there was nothing to change.In the dark night, the perch shook its bulky body and slowly swam to the depths of the lake, gradually disappearing.

This was many years ago before Raphael became a famous architect in New York City.It is true that he did not catch such a big fish anymore, but he is forever grateful to his mother for it.Because through his honesty, diligence, and law-abiding, he hunted the big fish in life—and made great achievements in his career.

Someone once wrote such a little poem: If you don't give up the splendor of flowers, you won't get the sweetness of fruits; if you don't give up the warmth of the night, you won't get the brightness of the morning sun.

This is the case in nature, and so is life. During the long journey of decades, there are mountains and waters, wind and rain, the troubles of abandoning "beautiful" and "warmth", and the joy of obtaining "sweet" and "brightness", Life is to be sublimated in the alternation of giving up and gaining, so as to reach a high level of great realm.In this sense, gaining is beautiful, and giving up is also beautiful.

Some people say that the difficulty of life is better than sailing against the current, which is true.In life in the world, unsatisfactory things account for nine out of ten, and the contradiction between acquisition and abandonment bothers us all the time. If we understand the way of giving up and the method of acquisition, and apply them to our lives, we can be freed from endless troubles. On the road of life, you can advance and retreat freely, open-minded and magnanimous.

Only by giving up can one gain. Everyone understands the truth, but it is not easy to follow it.Where is it not easy?The outside world is wonderful, but giving up is painful.The wonderful world is full of temptations. Things to give up are sometimes very beautiful. I don’t know which ones should be obtained and which ones should be discarded. It’s like a kind of bug in Liu Zongyuan’s works. It wants to carry things on its back when it sees them. Was exhausted.

People living in the mundane world have a terrible mentality, that is, "there is only a lot of hatred in the end", they want to win everything, and it is not easy to give up?Looking at society and looking at life horizontally, it is really difficult when to gain and when to give up. There is no universal truth in the world. We can only consider comprehensively based on this time, this place, this situation, and this scene.
