[7] What is a person's life pursuing? "reprint 』

I have long heard of the famous story of the fisherman and merchant.

A rich man came to the beach and saw a fisherman lying on the beach and basking in the sun. There was no worries or sorrow, so he asked him why he didn't go fishing in the sea. The fisherman asked: "Why am I going fishing in the sea? " The rich replied that fishing can make money, buy a house, buy a boat, and lay leisurely on the beach in Hawaii to bask in the sun. The fisherman smiled and asked: "What do you think I am doing now? ? "

This story is about the ultimate purpose of life and the way of life. What are we pursuing? What kind of life do you want. It is not worth it if you are desperate for the sake of comfort, but ignore everything else. Maybe, the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom.

After a long time of thinking, I think the significance of life may not be the ultimate goal, but the process that leads to the ultimate goal-whether you are happy, fulfilling, and happy.

Reposted a post can lead us to rethink our survival philosophy:

A town in England. There was a young man who made a living by people in the town along the street all day. Here, there was a Chinese woman working far away from her family. they always eat at the same restaurant, so they often encounter each other.

It takes a long time to get familiar with each other. One day, our fellow female said with concern to the young man, "Do not sell or sing along the street. Let's do a proper job. I will introduce you to China to teach, where you can get a much higher salary than you do now ."

After hearing this, the young man first gave a sigh of relief and then asked, "Is my current career not a legitimate one? I like this profession. It brings joy to me and others. What's worse? Why do I need to go overseas, abandon my loved ones, abandon my home, and do jobs I don't like ?"

The British next to the table, no matter the elderly and children, are stunned. They don't understand, just to earn a few more money, abandon their family, stay away from happiness, what can be enviable. In their eyes, family reunion and peace are the greatest happiness. It has nothing to do with the value of wealth and the value of its position.

So the people in the town began to pity our fellow female. 

There is such a couple in Shandong, China.

When I got married, my wife was in Jining and her husband was in Zaozhuang. After a few years, my wife was transferred to Zaozhuang, but my husband sent a paper to Heze. A few years later, my wife was transferred to Heze, but soon her husband was promoted to Jinan, the provincial capital. His wife asked him to contact an acquaintance and finally transferred him to Jinan. But less than a year later, her husband was transferred to Chongqing by the State Electrical Corporation. So all her friends joked to her-you two, born to be a cowherd and Weaver girl. Let's talk about it. You should leave your job and forget it with your family.

However, she, her in-laws, and her parents are both opposed. "After so many years of work, I will immediately retire. Besides, it is a pity that your organization has benefited so much. How much should I lose! After a few more years, I will earn more money for my children ."

In fact, their family's economic conditions are already very favorable. They have already been in the middle class, but they still miss the pension.

Therefore, the husband and wife are still Cowherd and Weaver girl.

We are a kind of people who are yet to benefit. The Chinese have always lived for something they might not really understand.

Therefore, Chinese people cannot live in a life without goals. This goal can be work, ideal, money, children, and old people ...... However, the only thing that is impossible is yourself.

Chinese people can live in grievance. It can be a poor job, a barely maintained marriage, a strong smile in interpersonal relationships, or an extreme suppression of all desires, it can be for a so-called account ...... Even sacrifice your life's happiness.

Chinese people can have a very difficult time, but they cannot afford to live in poverty. There must be an excuse to joke about all their misfortunes. Chinese people can regard Gao guanhou as a success, chinese people can regard their homes as millions of people as their ideals. Chinese people can leave their homes in peace, but the only success that Chinese people do not recognize is the harmony of their families and their lives are dull.

Therefore, a country with a history of five thousand years of civilization pushed the complex of patriotism, Lofty, dedication, success, and career to the extreme-they are either selfless, in fact, it is a hard struggle in the whirlpool, either shouldering the heavy responsibilities, but it is actually suffering in a strange circle with its name ...... The only omission is freedom and self.

As a result, women and children are well known in foreign countries. In China, no one can understand the truth.

What is a person's life pursuing?

An American merchant is sitting at a pier in a fishing village by the coast of Mexico, Watching a Mexican fisherman draw a boat to the shore.

There were several big yellow fin catfish on the boat. The American businessman gave a compliment to the Mexican fisherman who could catch such a high-grade fish and asked how long it would take to catch so much?

The Mexican fisherman said that he just caught it in a short time. Why don't you wait a little longer and catch more fish? The Mexican fisherman did not agree.:These fish are enough for my family's life!

The Americans asked: So what are you doing for so much time in a day? The Mexican fisherman explained: Me? I wake up naturally every day, catch a few fish out of the sea, come back to play with the children, and sleep with my wife. At midnight, at dusk, I enter the village to have a drink and play a guitar with my friends. My days are full and busy. !

The Americans did not agree. They gave him an idea. He said: I am a Master of Business Administration at Harvard University, but I can help you. ! You should spend more time catching fish every day, and then you will have money to buy a bigger ship. Naturally, you can capture More fish, buy more fishing boats. Then you can have a fishing fleet. Then you don't have to sell the fish to the fish dealer. , But directly sold to the processing plant. Then you can open a can factory by yourself. In this way, you can control the entire production, processing, and marketing. Then you can leave this fishing village, move to Mexico City, then to Los Angeles, and finally to New York. Run your expanding business there. The Mexican fisherman asked: How long does it take? The Americans replied: 15 to 20 years.

The Mexican fisherman asked: what then? The American people smiled and said, "You can become an emperor at home! As soon as the time comes, you can announce the stock market and sell your company's shares to the investors. You will try again later! You can earn hundreds of millions of dollars! Then?The Americans said: You can retire at that time! You can move to a fishing village by the sea. Every day, I wake up naturally, catch a few fish at sea, play with the children, take a nap with my wife, and shake to the village to have a little wine at dusk to play guitar with my friends.?!

The Mexican fisherman wondered: Isn't that what I want to do now?
