As a human being, you don’t need to envy others, or spend time envying how others succeed. As long as you think about how you can defeat yourself and how you become stronger than you yesterday. Your own training and persistence, coupled with your wisdom and hard work, will succeed. You will eventually become a stone Buddha and be respected by everyone.

You may be able to survive if you give up on yourself and mediocre, but this is definitely not a life chat with your friends on Sunday morning. Your friend told a story they had heard: "There is a stone paved road in front of a Buddha statue. People walk on this step and one step to worship the Buddha statue every day. The stone steps feel very uncomfortable when you watch people step on themselves to worship the Buddha statue. The stone steps think in their hearts that they and the Buddha are originally from the same stone, why do they become stepping stones and let people worship it by themselves! It complains to the Buddha that this is too unfair! The Buddha statue says: There is nothing unfair. You only need to be four knives to become a step, and I was cut into thousands of knives to become a Buddha statue that people worship."

He said that this story left a very deep impression on me - people really need to be tempered to become talented, and different efforts will certainly gain different results.

"Since ancient times, there are many hardships, and there are never many great men." "The sword is sharpened by sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. "If a person wants to become a superior person, he must endure the hardships. As long as he has ambitions, he will work hard. If he does not work hard or pay, the stone steps will never become a Buddha statue!

There is a small mountain village that has not rained for a long time. The people have finished their food, eaten grass roots, eaten grass roots, and eaten tree bark. In the end, nothing can fill their stomachs. Countless people around them have left, the elderly have died, and the weak children have died. The young people in the village don’t know what to do.

So they went to find the old man Zhihui. The old man Zhihui said that this was disrespectful to the gods and needed to send people to collect smooth, spiritual, with cracks in the middle, symmetrical pebbles on the left and right, take one of them, carve it into a Buddha, and let the stone Buddha bless all living beings. The villagers all went to find pebbles. It was very difficult to collect pebbles. Crossing mountains and crossing rivers, they could not find a suitable stone. One of them was hungry and hungry during the collection process. The young man wanted to give up and lying on the stone to rest. Suddenly, he found that the stone was lying very smooth, symmetrical from left to right, different from other stones. Is this a twin stone?

The young man quickly found a stonemason. The stonemason had been dealing with stones for a lifetime and could understand the language of stones. Looking left and right, the stonemason believed that this was the twin stone that the old man of wisdom called. The stonemason and the young man found the others in the village and took great effort to move the stones to the temple in the village.

The stonemason touched the twin stone with his hands, and felt that the one on the right was spiritual and textured! Ask the stone, would you like to be a stone Buddha? The stone answered "I'm willing" the stonemason "bang and smashed it a few times!" The stonemason said: It hurts so much. The stonemason said: It will definitely hurt. The stonemason said: In order to become a stone Buddha, I can tolerate it. The stonemason said: Every time you chisel, you will shed blood and sweat beads, one day, two days, three days, ten days... twenty days, it is the deadline for carving the face, and that piece will chisel even more painful.

The stonemason: Can you bear it? The stone on the right: I can bear it! It was a thump, chiseled down, and the stone cried.

The stone on the right: The pain has exceeded my limit. I can't stand it, can I ease it?

Will you be here tomorrow? The stonemason picks up the hammer the next day.

The stone on the right said: Slowly, I thought about it all night yesterday, the wind and rain, and I fell freely. Becoming a Buddha was just a thousand people worshipped and admired by thousands of people, and I really couldn't stand it...

The stonemason was very sorry and said to another stone, "Are you willing to be a Buddha?" The stone on the left said: As long as you can save the people and ask for rain for the people, you are willing to be a stone Buddha. In order to carve this stone into a Buddha, the stonemason built it overnight, one day, two days... The stone on the left endured the pain of cutting the knife and chiseling, and the stone's face was covered with scars. Twenty days passed, and the stonemason finally carved the stone on the left into a Buddha statue.

Two days later, it was raining heavily in the sky, and the villagers came to worship the stone Buddha one after another, and regarded the stone on the right as a staircase, stomped on and kneeled down. In the middle of the night, the two stones began their conversation.

The stone on the right said: We are both stones on the same mountain. In terms of time, appearance, and opportunity, I am better than you. But now you are high and accepting people's worship. These people step on my body to worship you and spit their saliva on me. It's too unfair.

The stone Buddha (the stone on the left) smiled and said: Brother: Actually, everything is fair. I have known since I was a child that I am not as good as you in terms of qualifications. When we were also collected and down the mountain, the stonemason said that we would carve you into a Buddha statue. You are afraid of pain and unwilling to leave traces on your body. But I want to bring happiness and beauty to the people. I am willing to have my life, so I have received thousands of tempers before I become a Buddha statue.

In Africa, every morning, the first thing that comes to mind is that I must run faster than the fastest lion, otherwise I will be eaten; and at the same time, the lion wakes up from his sleep, and the first thought that flashes into his mind is that I must be able to catch up with the fastest antelope, or I will starve to death. So, almost at the same time, the antelope and the lion jump up and run towards the rising sun.

This is a very common phenomenon in the biosphere. Antelope and lion are both busy with their own efforts for the same goal - survival. This is also the instinct of animals, and in life, we must work and chase for one or another. Conscious activities and simple instincts are important differences between humans and animals. Even animals can run for survival, let alone humans? What does people do in the world mean to realize their own survival value, and to let society recognize the existence of their own value. This is a meaningful life. People who give up on themselves may be able to survive, but this is definitely not life!

The famous physicist Cooper said: "Life is like a ball hit when playing golf. You must have a clear goal. "Yes, a person's life cannot be without a clear goal. Without a goal, there will be no direction and motivation to move forward. Just like a ship in the sea, without a helmsman, it may hit the reef or be stranded at any time; without a goal, a person will live passively and mediocrely and do nothing. For example, a monk who hits a bell in the temple will never consider when he will lose his job or when he will change jobs. He just spends his years hard and waits for the nirvana to return to the west. If both antelope and lion cannot lie dormant, they will inevitably be eaten or starved to death; but they always jump up and run forward, because they have a goal of survival, which is both direction and motivation.

With the goal in your heart, you must chase it and devote yourself to it, even if you are tired of your clothes and wear a wider belt? It is a real life, you must have the passion of perseverance, do what you can, you must have the courage to hit the water in the middle and the spirit of not being a hero without the Great Wall! Cooper added: "When you throw the ball in your hand towards the target, you must bravely run towards it." This is a positive way of living. If you spend all day long, you are in a good mood and look at the sky without striving for progress, then the brightest goal will eventually be just a dream of Nan Ke.

However, there are always two results after struggle: failure and success. Failure is painful. The painful people do not feel pain because of failure, but they wipe their tears and set off again. Just as antelope being eaten and lions starved to death in the wilderness without stopping them from running forward. The famous Afghan writer Ulfat once said: "No matter who, as long as he has not tasted what hunger and thirst is, he will never be able to enjoy the sweetness of food and water. "People without goals, or those who have never fought for goals, will never taste the happiness and joy of pursuing goals. Even if they fail, they can say to themselves, I have no regrets!

The survival of the fittest and inferior state of the fittest is an eternal natural law. No matter what kind of life it is, people should have a positive attitude to devote themselves to life and pursue their goals. No matter whether you are an antelope or a lion, when the sun rises, you should run forward without hesitation. This is how life is.

This is a philosophy of life, and this story can also illustrate a lot of truths about being a human being. Today, it is not as competitive as in the 20th century. Nowadays, the current living conditions are fierce, and everyone does not want to be eliminated. Everyone wants to live a better life. Everyone has their own dreams and ideals. But the biggest difference between success and failure is that successful people do not lie in how much time they spend talking about their dreams and ideals, nor in how much time they spend complaining about their sufferings and difficulties, nor in how much time they spend envy and admire other people's successes and make themselves feel inferior; successful people only do what they should do, only face their difficulties, no complaints, and no envy, because they have goals, ideals, motivation and that precipitated heart.
