Ordinary people evade problems, smart people solve problems, and wise people eliminate problems.

Once upon a time there was a very timid man who inadvertently saw his own shadow and thought it was some demon, so he ran with fear.

But the shadow followed him all the time, and the faster he ran, the more closely the shadow chased him. The man felt flustered and could only run faster.

In the end, he was exhausted to death by himself.

The same is true of our life, where there is prosperity, there will be adversity, just like everyone will find their own shadow in the sun.

The more we avoid difficulties, the more problems we have to deal with, the more physically and mentally exhausted we will be.

Really smart people never take escape as a way to deal with problems.

01.

Ordinary people avoid problems.

In this world, there are always some groups that are the most impoverished on the spiritual level, and they are the best at escaping.

In fact, evasion can not fundamentally solve the problem, but only put the problem behind.

Running away is not only shameful, but also meaningless, as the old saying goes, "A bad workman makes poor tools."

A person who can't speak, even in a different environment, can't improve his EQ.

For a person who can't cook, a new frying pan won't make him a chef.

The person who evades the problem looks very relaxed, but in fact, he picks up the problem in front of him and carries it on his body.

When the problem is overstocked to the point where they have to face it, the pressure on them will be much greater than when they face the problem.

Admittedly, even the lowest paramecium escapes from high concentrations of salt water and swims to less salty waters.

Escape is the instinct of living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

But once people become addicted to evading problems, it is easy to get into the habit of choosing to escape in the first place rather than thinking about how to solve the problem.

A psychologist once told me, "if you can't solve a problem, you become a problem."

There is always a time when we have to face the backlog of today's problems until tomorrow.

If you carry the obstacles in front of you, you will be exhausted one day.

02.

Smart people solve problems.

Smart people will not choose to escape and compromise in the face of difficulties, they will recognize and solve problems at the first time.

Smart people are good at finding problems on their own initiative and finding solutions for themselves.

In Zhuangzi's "Dasheng", there is a story of rickets father-in-law Chengyi.

One day, when Confucius was going to the State of Chu, he walked out of the woods and saw an old man with a hunchback gluing a cicada with a stick, acting as if he were picking up things on the ground.

Confucius said, "what a coincidence my husband's skill is!"

Is there a trick in this? "

The hunchbacked old man told Confucius:

"I have my way.

Although the sticky pole is very long, the sticky pill on the club head is not easy to grasp horizontal, and the cicada climbs very high, I can practice frequently.

After five or six months of practice, I can add two sticky pills to the pole head without falling, and there will be fewer misses.

When I practiced that I could add three sticky balls to the club head without falling, it would be difficult for me to make another mistake after ten stickies.

When I practice that I can add up to five balls without falling, sticky balls will be as easy as picking up things on the ground.

When I stick, I stand firm, like a broken wood near the ground, and my arm of a pole is like a branch of dead wood.

Although the world is very big and there are many scenery in front of me, I only pay attention to the wings of cicadas.

Never change your attention to cicada wings because of the numerous things. Why can't you succeed? "

Smart people in the face of problems, just like the old man clingy, the heart is analyzing the problem, the hand is solving the problem.

When the problem is difficult to solve for a while, they are willing to pay hundreds of times and thousands of times of efforts to overcome the problem and improve themselves.

Such a strong man, why worry about not being able to succeed in life?

03.

The wise man eliminates the problem.

Compared with the vast universe, which has been operating alone for hundreds of millions of years, human science and technology and knowledge are only small knowledge, and the short decades of life are only small years.

In front of this world, we will always be like a newborn baby.

We cannot predict what kind of problems we will encounter, nor can we be sure that our life will be plain sailing.

The strong people in life are not those who have experienced wind and rain in the legend, nor those who hide and wait for the wind and rain to pass.

The really strong are those who dance in the wind and rain, but the rainbow appears after the dark clouds.
