The Internet is buzzing with the question, "How do I get out of a low point in my life?" One of the highly respected answers was short and profound: "Just take a few more steps."
In this fast-paced era, the world often lacks perseverance, and few people are willing to meditate to sharpen themselves. As the old saying goes, "The world's difficult things must be made easy, and the world's great things must be done in detail."
"To do a simple thing to its fullest extent is not simple, and to do every ordinary thing to its fullest extent is not ordinary."
The key is to learn to meditate deeply and move forward solidly in your field. Even focusing on just one thing is more valuable than haphazardly tackling a bunch of mediocre things.
clear direction
"Life without direction is like sailing without a compass." In this day and age, there are numerous so-called 'smart people' and what is really scarce are those 'dumb people' who dare to fight against their egos.
At just 21 years old, Zhang Linyan is the youngest member of the current women's soccer team.
On February 6, the 21-year-old young player helped the Chinese women's soccer team win the Asian Cup. Standing only 1.54 meters tall, she scored repeatedly in the opponent's penalty area with her nimble skills.
"Zhang Linyan came out ...... to create a penalty ...... header to equalize the crucial score!" In this final, Zhang Linyan was awarded MVP, and even her idol Beckham praised her.
Who would have thought that this young girl who dared to step forward at the critical moment, 13 years ago was just a left-behind child in the boarding house in the Wenchuan earthquake disaster area. From the disaster area to the green field, Zhang Linyan all the way to chase the light ......
In 2012, at the age of 10, with the support of her family, Zhang Linyan traveled alone from Jiangyou, Sichuan Province to Guangzhou, Guangdong Province to attend a soccer school.
"My dad calls me often and tells me to persevere. I also understand that since I have made a choice, I have to play soccer well! Since I decided to play soccer well, I will go to a better place, to go to the national team, which has always been my goal and desire." At that time, Zhang Linyan had made her direction clear and her determination firm.
At the soccer school, Zhang Linyan trains with the boys, waking up at 6 a.m. and leaving class at 9 p.m. every day. In addition to studying for cultural classes, she spends the rest of her time studying to play soccer, and strives to grab a field to train on weekends.
She wrote a line on her desk that said something along the lines of "I want to be on the national team" as a way to motivate herself. She was later caught on TV and was a little embarrassed that her little secret had been exposed.
It is this, that strong faith and love, that has given birth to flowers along the way, guarding her dreams against the sands of the wind and getting ever closer to the 'light' in her heart.
A clear direction makes life meaningful. Some people can't find the coordinates of their life, and end their life with nothing. Some people are clear about their own direction, use diligence and struggle to grasp the present, in a field of deep plowing, will also be like Zhang Linyan, chasing their own 'light'.
steady and serious character
Liu Zhenyun once said, "Masters are all very 'stupid' people, and only very stupid people work hard."
Water dripping over stones, year after year of deep cultivation and accumulation, in order to through persistent efforts, to develop their own real skills, real skills.
In 1963, just graduated from university, Hayao Miyazaki joined an animation company and started his animation career together with his classmates at the same time. However, the reality is not as good as imagined, the lowest level of work, the salary is not high.
He watched more and more students switching careers, but he never gave up easily, instead devoting more energy and time to painting.
"That's the way life is, when you discover your dreams, your life shines. It's not early or late to shine, as long as there is light." Back then, he often worked until one or two in the morning and was the last to leave the office.
In the animation field where Disney style prevails, Hayao Miyazaki still sticks to his own style and traditional hand-drawing. His peers laughed at him for not being able to earn money, and his family urged him to change his profession, but he was unmoved and practiced solidly for decades, and he knew every aspect of animation production like the back of his hand, from scripts, subplotting, original drawings to scene design.
Finally, his work, Valley of the Wind, was brought to the screen and became a sensation. From obscurity to worldwide fame, Hayao Miyazaki quietly persevered in the field of animation for exactly twenty-one years.
The reason why Hayao Miyazaki can shine is that he understands himself. Only by understanding himself can he find out exactly where he can shine, and then it is unremitting efforts and persistence. As for when to shine, whether early or late, Miyazaki has never been obsessed.
Many things, do not necessarily immediately have results, but find the direction, adhere to always see hope. There is no overnight success in this world, only the persistence of the day to day. Behind every kind of success, must be down-to-earth deep plowing.
The real shortcut is to 'do it' on the ground, without looking for so-called 'shortcuts'. When you have done your work well, quantitative changes produce qualitative changes, and all kinds of problems will be solved with the positive cycle.
The sea can be filled, the south mountain can be moved, the sun and the moon are past and cannot be recovered. The days of fluke can never escape the fate of being eliminated. In front of time, all we can do is to arch the day and keep moving forward in time.
You should be dry all day long, survive 10,000 feet of loneliness, cross 10,000 mountains, will eventually reunite with the best of themselves gently.
