First of all, silence does not mean silence, it is a process of recovery. Just like drawing a bow to save strength, let the arrow clank straight into the sky. During the Warring States Period, Chu Zhuangwang succeeded to the throne for three years, and no decree was issued. Sashima asked him, "A lost bird landed on a hill, and it didn't fly or call for three years, so it was silent. Why! " Chu Zhuangwang replied: "I don't spread my wings for three years to make my wings grow;" Silence is observation, thinking and preparation. Although it doesn't fly, it will fly to the sky. Although it doesn't ring, it is a blockbuster! " Sure enough, in the second year, Chu Zhuangwang listened to politics, promulgated nine decrees and abolished ten measures. Five corrupt officials were executed and six scholars were elected, so the country was prosperous and the world surrendered. It is uncertain what Chu Zhuangwang didn't do, but he exposed his intentions early, so he can achieve great things. This is a late bloomer, a loud voice and a blockbuster! "
The silence of the earth breeds the harvest of autumn; The eagle's silence implies an impact; The silence of winter breeds colorful spring. There is an old saying: "A gentleman is rich but thin." Without tireless cultivation, there can be no joy of success, nor can there be cheers of victory. After ten years, no one asked about the cold window and became famous in one fell swoop. People often only talk about the learned Kan Kan, but ignore his obscurity in studying hard at the cold window. People often only praise clever speech, but underestimate the thinking accumulated in silence.
Secondly, formal stillness doesn't mean you stop thinking. On the contrary, profound thoughts come from the seemingly silent thinking process. Some people like to talk big and say immature ideas prematurely. In this way, for himself, he lost the opportunity to think further. Ideas that might have been valuable just slipped away, but for those who listen, because the speaker talks a lot, just listen to your ears. Some people do not have enough thinking and speech organization before speaking, and do not express their thoughts or logic clearly, which affects the emotional communication. More haste, less speed! No wonder some people want to sigh: "To understand a person's thoughts, it is best to read his articles instead of talking to him." Why? Because people will carefully scrutinize before writing an article, and then they will settle on paper and ink, so it is clear and smooth. It can be seen that the formation of ideas needs a process of calm thinking and repeated deliberation. When God created man, why did he give him two eyes, two ears, a brain and a cerebellum, but only one mouth? That is to let people see more, listen more, think more and talk less! Isn't it? Silence is really golden.
Silence is not to tell people not to talk, but to hope that people will think twice before speaking. Let the spark of thinking shine in silence, and let the art of language sublimate in thinking!
