When you start to arrange your life with superstitions and numbers, you have actually lost confidence in yourself. ...
I never make any predictions about my future now, and I don't let anyone make predictions about my future. I think the future is in my hands. Even if my life is gone tomorrow, it is still in my hands today. ...
We often hear people around us talk about fate and luck. What is fate and luck? Is there such a thing as fate? I have the following views, which you can share.
No one but God can predict your future. If someone can know the future through prediction, life is not worth living.
First of all, I think, maybe the God of Destiny is in the sky, holding the lives of all beings and the rules of the world, so we should be disrespectful to God.
Confucius said, stay away from ghosts and gods. If you think the world is too ordinary, too ordinary and fearless, I think there is something wrong. The development of China in the past decades has proved that the result of having nothing to fear is the destruction and pollution of the environment. We say "man can conquer nature", but we can't conquer nature. Tao in Tao Te Ching is the way of nature. We should cherish nature, because from the day we were born, nature has brought us sunshine, rain and dew, green forests and blue skies. This is a beautiful world. Since we have come to this beautiful world, we should respect this beautiful world.
We assume that everyone comes to this world with a specific purpose, which is arranged for us by the god of fate. This is what Li Bai said, "I was born to be useful." On the negative side, many people will think that my futility is caused by fate. If there is fate, then the improvement of fate is controlled by our own efforts. Since we know that our life is useful in this world, we should make good use of our life instead of trampling on it and wasting it. But don't use all kinds of abnormal mentality to calculate our life, or to predict our life and future, which is meaningless, because no one can predict your future except God. If someone can know the future through prediction, life is not worth living. For example, now that you know what you will do every year after 80, which woman you will meet this year and which man you will meet next year, life will be meaningless to you. I fear fate, but it doesn't make me succumb to it. I know that any good result in fate must be achieved through hard work. When you think your destiny is bad, it will never be good if you don't work hard. If you work hard, you may at least get better. Just like the Monkey King, because of his efforts, he hit the underworld and crossed out his own life and death, so he became a fairy. In fact, each of us is finally controlled by our own efforts.
As for the second point related to fate, don't burden your life for no reason, trust your own judgment and don't be superstitious.
There is such a short story in my own life that everyone can learn from it. At the age of 20, when I was in college, I had no contact with my classmates in the dormitory and began to tell my fortune. The so-called fortune telling is to take a Xinhua dictionary, turn to that page and say that the first word is the fate of dozens of years old. Other students are smarter. They are all 80 years old. Even if they resort to the word "nothing", it doesn't matter, because it's normal to have nothing at the age of 80. But my life in Peking University is rather painful, so I said I want to see the fate of being 30. As a result, I looked up the word "funeral" in the dictionary, and I felt extremely scared at that time. From the age of 20 to 30, I wasted my whole life in this fear. Of course, I'm not afraid every day, just thinking about it. Obviously, using superstition to calculate your future is a sign of losing confidence in yourself. That was my state at that time, because I was down and out in Peking University, and the final result was to lose confidence in myself. When a person loses confidence in his life, he will definitely rely on some external force, and the easiest external force to rely on is to predict his life and hope that the future will be better. But the probability of your prediction is 50% to 50%. Let me give you another example. During the SARS period, I was worried about New Oriental and went to the Academy for tea. Seeing there was a lucky draw, I said, have a cigarette and see what New Oriental is like. As a result, I took out an order and was scared out of my mind. On the third day, I couldn't sleep and went to the Academy again. I said, I'll draw another sign for New Oriental to see what it is, and it turns out to be the top sign. As you can see, this prediction has become meaningless. When you start to arrange your life with superstitions and numbers, you have actually lost confidence in yourself.
Tell me more about myself. At the age of 30, my father died, and I really knew the word "mourning". After that, I never told my fortune again. I just said the New Oriental lottery, just for fun. I never make any predictions about my future now, and I don't let anyone make predictions about my future. I think the future is in my hands. Even if my life is gone tomorrow, it is still in my hands today. So success in life depends on your personal confidence.
As for luck, I think we can believe in luck in life, but luck has always been based on your own efforts. What is luck? For example, if you suddenly win a big prize, or find a sum of money, that's luck. But luck is just an accident. You are lucky, don't take it seriously. When you get the first rabbit, you must not expect the second rabbit to come. Sometimes luck will appear, but there will be problems without hard work. According to the survey, more than 90% of the people who won the lottery ended up poor, some were killed, some were robbed, some were divorced, and some had family discord. When a poor man suddenly becomes extremely rich one day, something will definitely happen. Because money is not obtained through his own efforts, he doesn't know how to cherish it or even how to spend it. In the end, the money will leave him. When a person gains something through his own efforts, it is inevitable and you will know how to cherish it. The harvest of hard work and wisdom is inevitable.
One should not go all out to pursue good luck. For example, if you win the lottery once, you shouldn't buy it desperately. Many employees here may have done this. After winning 500 yuan or 1000 yuan in the lottery, I continued to buy lottery tickets with 500 yuan or 1000 yuan, and the final result was that I lost all my money. So luck is accidental, but when we succeed through our own efforts, it is the inevitable result and naturally constitutes your destiny. Everyone should go all out for this inevitable result.
