Features: During the process of economic transformation, changes in the distribution of interests can inevitably lead to confusion or worries in our hearts. In pursuit of fame and fortune, we may do foolish things that prioritize the means over the end, not only losing precious health but even precious lives. Because of a lack of mindset transformation, there is still a sense of dependency. Not only do we miss good opportunities, but we also often find ourselves trapped in inescapable pain. Because we haven’t yet lit the lantern of life’s wisdom, we may be overwhelmed by life’s troubles, feel life becoming increasingly difficult, and even lose the courage to live. Wisdom is born from listening and achieved through thinking; resentment is born from speaking and deepened by frustration. Wise people always seek solutions to problems, while foolish people always lament in self-pity, unable to see a way forward. Confucius said, “I reflect on myself three times a day.” Even the sages did so. How much more should we, ordinary mortals. Let us remind each other to eliminate negative desires and worries in our hearts, learn to live lightly and joyfully, and then can opportunities for success fail to visit us from time to time? Give yourself a piece of advice every day, a moment of care every day, and a reminder every day—it’s like eating a bowl of nutritious soul soup daily. Gradually, you will become a wise person, able to continuously grasp the essence of life and enjoy happiness endlessly.
