/August 2022

there is such a story.

the Zen master locked the little monk in a room, blocked it with a brick, and let him find the door and walk out by himself.

the young monk searched carefully in the room, searched every corner and found that there was no door at all.

the young monk thought, "can't you build one without a door?"

so he knocked down a wall, turned it into a door, and walked out calmly.

everyone encounters walls as they grow up.

the wall is an estrangement, a challenge, and an obstacle that everyone has to break down in their growth.

only by knocking down the three walls of life can you overcome yourself and become the master of your destiny.

01

knock down the wall of thinking: you can go as far as you think

scientists put flies and bees in a bottle and seal the mouth of the bottle.

then make a hole in the bottom, and the bees and flies are desperately trying to get out.

the bee remembered the way it came, so it crashed into the mouth of the bottle. The fly didn't remember the way, so it flew about.

in the end, the fly was the first to fly out, but the bee could not fly out of the bottle.

in many cases, it is not the environment or ability that limits a person, but his own inherent mode of thinking.

thinking determines a person's fate.

all real masters have game-breaking thinking, and the more powerful they are, the more they know how to break the mindset.

now the logistics industry is becoming more and more developed, with express delivery arriving every other day from three days to one hour on the same day.

but some companies think in reverse and specialize in "slow delivery" business.

A letter from the mother-to-be to her child, writing the mood and wishes of the moment to the 18-year-old.

recent graduates write their wishes and ideals to their 30-year-old self.

couples who have no choice but to break up write their difficulties of the moment to their partner five years later.

these time capsules are not only a person's self-examination, but also a kind of emotional sustenance.

the slow delivery business does not pay attention to efficiency or scramble for time, but opens up new markets in the field of logistics.

through the ages, how many people have been hit by Apple, everyone is used to it and takes it for granted.

only Newton wondered why the apple didn't go up and down.

so he discovered gravitation.

everyone is in the express delivery business, who would have thought that "slow delivery" is also a business?

Einstein said:

you can go as far as you think.

when you encounter things, don't always be limited by the inherent mode of thinking. Think more and take one more step in order to start a better life.

02

knock down the wall of suffering: water to a dead end is a landscape, a man to a desperate situation is a rebirth

the ancients said: "Water to a dead end is a waterfall, a man to a desperate place is a turning point."

predicament often contains hope, danger often contains opportunity.

the weak regard the predicament as a natural cutting, while the strong regard adversity as a challenge.

those darkest moments in life are opportunities for the strong to be reborn.

Lin Zexu was called a "anti-smoking hero" after destroying opium in Humen in the late Qing Dynasty.

but with the war unfavorable, the court blamed Lin Zexu and deposed him to Xinjiang to quell British anger.

the imperial court abandoned its use, was demoted to the frontier, had no hope of official career, and had no way to serve the country.

but he never gave up.

he regards adversity as an opportunity for growth, constantly tempering himself in the bitter cold of Xinjiang for the benefit of places.

he assisted General Yili in opening up fields and resettling the homeless.

personally supervised the work and built more than 200 miles of canals to irrigate 100,000 mu of land in Xinjiang.

600000 mu of land is surveyed to enrich the national treasury and consolidate border defense.

his abilities and achievements were finally recognized by the court.

in the 25 year of Daoguang, Lin Zexu was used again.

he broke the bandits, settled the place, and made great achievements, and became a powerful feudal official at that time.

later, he was named Prince Taibao and became a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty.

Mo Yan said: "without suffering, how to achieve positive results; without suffering, how to have an epiphany of life."

there is no gain for nothing, and everything you want comes at a price.

Are you looking for the perfect fitting short prom dresses to bring out your body shape and figure? Always our pleasure to see you getting your desired garments.

A person can become a better self only if he has suffered enough and suffered enough.

in Journey to the West, four masters and disciples learn from the scriptures.

after 80 trials and tribulations, he obtained the true sutra, and as a result, it was even less and more difficult for Guanyin.

so let the old tortoise trick the master and apprentice again.

ninety-nine eighty-one is difficult, not one less.

Life is like hitting iron, without a hammer, the quality will be much worse.


.

the more you do, the smarter you are, and the more you experience, the more capable you are.

those who are plain sailing, the higher they climb, the worse they fall.

and those who grow up in adversity are more resistant and go further.

Russian writer Dostoevsky said: "I am afraid I am not worthy of my suffering."

all the sufferings of life are a journey of achievement.

all the high walls of life are the way to advance.

hold on, endure, life is bound to open up a new world.

tear down the inner wall: not afraid of being blocked by ten thousand people, but afraid of surrendering

there is such a story in ancient Greek mythology.

King Pygmalion of Cyprus likes it very muchCarving, he used magical skills to carve a beautiful ivory girl.

because he invested so much effort, Pygmalion fell in love with the statue.

so he prayed to the gods to make her his wife.

Cupid was finally moved by him, gave the statue life and made them husband and wife.

this is the Pygmalion effect in psychology.

when you have strong expectations for something, your wish will come true.

to a large extent, a person's state of mind can influence the direction of things.

in ancient times, a scholar went to Beijing to take the exam and had two dreams when he went to bed at night.

he dreamed that he planted sorghum on the wall. I dreamt that it was raining, wearing a hat and holding an umbrella.

the fortune-teller interprets his dream: it is useless to plant sorghum on the wall, and it is superfluous to wear a hat to hold an umbrella.

the scholar lost the confidence to take the exam and packed up to go home the next day.

the innkeeper asked him: I have an exam tomorrow. Why are you leaving?

the scholar told the boss about it.

the boss said: growing sorghum on the wall is high school, wearing bamboo hats and umbrellas, isn't that more stable?

the scholar thought what the boss said was right, so he stayed. As a result, he came second in high school.

the same thing, different attitudes bring different results and different lives.

the ancients said: "the mind changes with the circumstances is an ordinary man, and the environment changes with the heart is a sage."

the most difficult wall in life is not in the outside world, nor in the mind, but in your heart.

as long as there is no wall in your heart, life is full of roads. Anything is possible as long as you don't set limits on yourself.

Japanese entrepreneur Wada Kazuo was once president of Yaohan partner, Japan's largest retail group.

at the age of 68, the group went bankrupt because of my brother's poor management.

Wada Kazuo changed from the president of an international group to a penniless old man.

there is a lot of criticism from the outside world, and many people are waiting to see his jokes, and even suspect that he will commit suicide in the end.

but he cheered up, started anew, set up a business consulting company, and his business is booming.

many people asked him why he could make a comeback.

he says: he writes "Guangming Diary" every week, recording recent happy events.

these happy things will keep you cheerful and optimistic.

with a good state of mind, people will slowly climb out of the trough.

Harvard University has done a study:

A person's achievement is 85% related to mentality and 15% related to intelligence and work experience.

if one believes in beauty, life will slowly change for the better.

if one is depressed, life will slowly get worse.

if you are happy, it is sunny. If you are sad, it is a rainy day.

if you have the right mindset, life will naturally go smoothly.

there is a sentence in "Black Swan": "you are the only one standing in your way."

only if there is no wall in the heart, can life be unstoppable.

Laozi said: "there is no mutual birth, difficult and easy to form, long and short punishment, high and low."

with or without, difficulty, length, height, they are diametrically opposite, but they depend on each other.

all things are opposed to each other and transformed into each other.

walls, which can be obstacles or ladders.

there are three walls in life, and every time you knock down one, there is one more door.
