Chapter 47 Life is like eating sugarcane

It is handed down to Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter in the Jin Dynasty.He likes to gnaw sugarcane and eat the tail first, and gradually reach the root joints. Someone asked why, and he replied: gradually getting better. It is very common to eat sugarcane in Taiwan nowadays, and of course you can feel it the most. The tail of sugarcane is bland and tasteless, but the closer to the root node, the sweeter and more watery, and there is still an aftertaste after eating; if it is the other way around, taste it first After the seeds have eaten the sweet root joints, after they are satisfied, when they reach the tail of the sugarcane, it is getting worse every time, and it is unbearable to wither.

Gu Changkang's words of getting better and better, using it as a metaphor for the course of life, can be said to be deeply philosophical.A person's struggle in life is from the back of the people to the front of the people step by step, the more vigorous and vigorous they go, but if they want to jump in front of the people all of a sudden, if they don't make progress, they will retreat!Comparing it to running a business and starting a business, why not? As the saying goes, focus on the big picture, but start small. It is really not appropriate to aim too high, or just seek quick success and quick profits, blindly advancing blindly, and being frustrated instead.

In the current social atmosphere, there is a lot of vanity and luck. All kinds of flashy titles are filled in the market. Everything, but not whirling and disappearing with each passing day! Those who have a little talent want to rise to a high position as soon as they enter the society.And those who are arrogant and talented are not willing to be inferior to others. They regard grassroots work as abandoned shoes. Every time they compete for high positions, they are only ridiculed by flying and impetuous. This is really a taboo for young people.On the one hand, I feel that it is not easy to find a job; on the other hand, there are people who are picky and picky. Therefore, it seems that the talent seekers seek their own talents, and the job seekers seek their own jobs. It seems that the two are not easy to match.Modern people have learned many Western habits, but they have not yet learned the Western concept that occupations are not high or low.One of the by-products of economic prosperity is that more people love vanity and have been subjugated to material civilization unconsciously.

As the saying goes: tall buildings start from the ground.There is also a Western proverb that says: Rome was not built in a day.Those who are new to society should start from the basics, move forward step by step, and make progress day by day, so that they will work harder and harder, that is, like gnawing sugarcane, eat the tail first, and then the more you eat, the more delicious you will be, and you will practice steadily , so that the accumulation of experience and wisdom is successful. At that time, when you reach a high position, you will be able to show your grand plans with ease. It is rumored that a certain big entrepreneur has countless careers, but for the relatives and young people who are new to the society, they are all sent to the grassroots to start from the small staff, and even for the sons who have returned from studying abroad. It can be said that the understanding is getting better efficacy and mystery.However, there are also very successful business people who give their children high positions at once, and lead the generations without painstaking efforts. After all, it is not the result of nurturing.
