Bai Yansong's Philosophy of Life-My Thoughts

---

Preface

I recently read through WeChat and listened to a book of Bai Yansong-Life Philosophy (there are 81 chapters, each chapter is about 7 minutes). This anchor reads very well and makes people feel very good. If you are interested, I suggest you listen to it. :
After listening to this book, I feel that it is suitable for me. Although there are differences in age, the difference is not exaggerated. There are also some people who are middle-aged, confused and confused; there are many quotes from the East and the West. Various allusions in modern and ancient times. Combining the background of the current times, I would think that at least people born in the 70s, 80s, and 90s can resonate. After listening, summarizing and thinking about their objective and rigorous logic will make their heart calmer and figure out more things.
I have listed some of the chapters and some of the content that I am more interested in or have more deep feelings about from Chapter 81, hoping to give readers some useful inspiration

1. Life is not just use, but also rewards

Some original words:

Life is not just about working and earning money. There should be more colorful things in one's life for decades. People must live for themselves before they can live for others. It is important to make money and support a family. It is important to work hard, but nothing is as important as one's inner joy. Life is not only hard work, life also has poetry and distance. Some people think that life is beautiful and happy, but some people feel that they are inferior to others and feel distressed about life. In fact, they only see distress in their own eyes.

Feelings:
For our generation, it is mainly driven by the rhythm of the times. The whole society is basically realists. Every step of learning, employment, home ownership, marriage, and childbirth is intensive and busy. Most people are There is no mine at home. Apart from work every day, I leave it to life and myself. In fact, there is not much. Maybe I am strong enough; but in fact, I can feel the impact, and it will be reflected in life, work, and emotions. Come out, if you give yourself a reward in a rhythm, will you better adjust yourself?

2. Saving healthy, more affordable than just saving money

Some original words:

There is a saying: People who can't manage their own bodies are not qualified to manage others, and people who can't manage their own health won't manage their own businesses. Health is blessing. Without health, dreams are empty talk. Health is the source of life. Without health, life will become dark and miserable. You will lose interest and enthusiasm for everything. It is a great happiness to have a healthy body, a positive spirit, and to maintain a perfect balance between the two.
Rocha Marten once said: “Having health does not have everything, but losing health will lose everything.” Some people value money, some people value power, and some people value family and friendship. It is true that we are all willing to have these, and they are all precious. But if there is no health, all possession will lose its meaning.

Feelings:
I am a person who has loved sports since I was a child and has good athletic talent. However, I have been working with high intensity outside of work. My body is getting worse and worse. Since the year before last, after I started running, my physical condition has been obvious. improve. So I fully understand that "people who can't handle their own bodies are not qualified to manage others." No matter how strong the spirit is, the body cannot keep up. This is very dangerous. For example, every year a half-marathon always kills a few people. People who love running are all super-spirited, but they are also very dangerous because their hearts may not be able to withstand their own mental strength, and eventually there will be accidents in the race. So I also want to ask the readers to really see this problem clearly. This is really not something that can be solved with a strong spirit!

3. People in middle age must have the mentality of starting anew

Some original words:

After middle age, people will indeed lag behind young people in physical strength and energy, but this does not mean that they should “retire”. In fact, people still have a long way to go after middle age. The eagle has a lifespan of 70 years. At the age of 40, it has to be reborn, sharpen its beak and pull its claws. When the new beak grows, it needs to pull out the heavy feathers on its body one by one to create light feathers. After completing the process of self-torture, it can Soar in the sky for another 30 years. When a person reaches middle age, if he knows the fate and waits for "retirement" to maintain his life, it is probably equivalent to launching the "waiting for death" mode. If you don't give up any opportunities for learning and growth, and endure the pain like an eagle, grow a new beak, put on a new feather, and after transformation, you will see another day of life.

Feelings:
I don’t know what age middleage is measured by, but it is undeniable that I am very close to the outside middle-aged standard. The various middle-aged crisis articles of the outside media are justified and well-founded, showing that the middle-aged crisis is real and true. Ordinary existence, any unprepared or no long-term plan, will inevitably return to the things experienced by the protagonist in various articles. In fact, I have been thinking about this issue for a few years. My attitude towards life, from studying, financial management, home ownership, and work, has all traces of adjustments, but in fact, they have all improved in accordance with the current situation and the trend. At this point, I think we still need to read more autobiography or similar articles of some celebrities, and think more, to find a direction that suits me.

Fourth, do not compete, calmly face yourself and the outside world

Some original words:

Zhou Guoping used his philosophical thinking to sum up all this as: "Be the master of destiny within the scope of your control, and be the friend of destiny within the scope of your control." It is further condensed into eight words: people do things, let fate. Things are well understood by humans. You have to work hard and strive for everything. However, not everything will succeed as long as you work hard. It often requires some luck and opportunities. If you don’t succeed, you must redouble your efforts, you must succeed, and even become more extreme. That is competition. That's why there is the second half sentence "resignation". This resignation is not negative, but a kind of open-mindedness. I have worked hard, I have struggled, not thinking about success, but enjoying the process, isn't this kind of open-mindedness very good?

In fact, calm down and think about it. In many cases, it is not that your ability is not strong, but that your wishes are unrealistic. We have to believe in ourselves, but this does not mean that we have to force ourselves to do things that we cannot do. In fact, everything in the world has a degree, beyond which it will be counterproductive. We should try our best to do what we can do, and as to whether we can do it, we should leave it to God with peace of mind.

There are many things happening in life that you cannot control or control. There are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes. Life is like this, so for those things that you can't control, there is really no way in many cases, you can only resign to fate and have a detached mind.

Feelings: To
care about this area requires a big mind. I still feel like to care about it. If others misunderstand you, they will always explain. In fact, the usefulness of this explanation is very low. From a certain angle, it is better not to explain. It is the most correct to prove through time and facts, but it is really difficult. In the original words, there is actually an ancient allusion, which is too long. I won’t post it, but when I listened to this chapter deeply, I clearly felt my own shortcomings in this area. Of course, Bai Yansong made a very thorough logic on this point. It made me care about the logic in my heart without any foothold; it was really very useful.

5. Only after experiencing hardship can we understand life

Some original words:

Long Yongtu went on to say: "Having experienced some difficulties, it is very important to temper a person's character. Life is definitely not smooth sailing. You have suffered a lot. When you encounter some difficulties, you will be very Facing calmly...but our young people, they have not experienced these sufferings, they have no retreat, they encounter a little difficulty, it feels like the end of the world has come. So if young people can endure a little bit of hardship, treat them It is good."

Every painful experience will make you more mature. There is a famous saying in "Mencius": "Therefore, if the heavens will come down to the people of Sri Lanka, they must first suffer their minds, work their muscles and bones, starve their skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions, so they are moved and endured. , Zeng Yiqi couldn't." It means that those who make great things must go through heavy tempering. Why? Mencius gave the answer: "Zeng benefited what he could not." The failures, sufferings, and setbacks we have experienced will be the best way for us to enrich ourselves. If we look down on the pain in this process, we can Persist in reaching the new shore of life.

Feelings:
I happen to have my own tortuous life experience. For these pains, now I also have some special preferences, that is, after suffering, I will feel particularly refreshed. From the perspective of computer logic, indexes are established on some particularly bad things, which ensures that once they encounter such things again, the human response is very fast and accurate. The will to deal with this painful issue again is as firm as a rock, not easily changed by others. So suffering is sometimes a very good thing, and when you look at it with a more open mind, the world is actually completely different.

6. Try to be yourself instead of acting as someone else

Some original words:

Everyone can't play the role that others have played for a long time, or try to be themselves. "Many people are living in other people’s private offices, which leads to a sense of restraint. If you stand in the world, you should treat other opinions as your own mirror. If you have one, you can change it, if you don’t have it, you can encourage you. However, if you care too much about others If you think about it, you will suffer from gains and losses and lose yourself.

Feelings:
Regarding this point, in fact, I usually watch some people play and I have played some people who think they are good and the way they handle things, but I do find that they are more aggressive. In fact, others can tell at a glance.
With some thinking and experience, sometimes I am still confused, and then I will play other people. We should all refer to the essence of others, add to our own actual situation and have applied, only then can we refine and refine our own methods. For some students who have participated in the training or directly played the role, this is really something to think about. In fact, others can easily see these things. Avoid pretentiousness and be true to yourself.

Seven, know how heavy you are

Some original words:

People like to listen to good words and flattery. Many people will have the illusion of "I am really good" after listening to too many compliments. He did not consider the purpose of the person who said these words.
The so-called Qingshanlou Wailou outside the mountain is stronger than the strong middle player. People have self-knowledge. Only by knowing how many catties you have can you have a humble heart and make yourself more successful.

Feelings:
I was actually given a relatively tall nickname by my colleagues, but since last year, I feel that it is not a good thing, but forcibly changing the name of others is actually not good. So you know your own weight clearly, keep learning, summarize, and treat others' names rationally.

8. Take work seriously, there will be unexpected gains

Some original words:

The same is true in our work and life. No matter how difficult things are, the word "conscientiousness" is not worthy of seriousness. As the saying goes, "There is nothing difficult in the world, but only those who have the heart." It is impossible to succeed in doing things with such an attitude. We must not give up being serious just because things seem "simple". As everyone knows, to do "simple" things well, a lot of "not easy" efforts are required. There is no free lunch in this world. Everything depends on our hard work. We need to face the work with a serious and rigorous attitude. Success is not accidental. Only seriousness can lay the cornerstone of success.

Feeling:
I have benefited a lot in this area. Sometimes this benefit is not immediately, it may be a month or a few years later.
I just started working. Because of the hard work in the first month and the excellent foundation, I was the first The manager of a company was assigned to work as an assistant in the infrastructure. Since then, he has been engaged in infrastructure-related work for 5 or 6 years. This had a fundamental impact on the technology behind me. If you don’t work hard, or don’t have a positive attitude. Opportunities will not be on you. This is mainly for young readers. As long as you work hard, I believe that colleagues and leaders around you are not without observation.

to sum up

In the current society, there are actually many more mental illnesses than before. These mental problems are mainly solved by themselves, and others can only assist; but philosophy can help people resolve puzzles, and many things can be solved spiritually. It’s really unraveled. Bai Yansong’s life philosophy is very suitable for young and middle-aged Chinese today. Compared to some foreign celebrities, I think it’s more reasonable. So I’ve written this post and I hope it’s also confused. Readers can go and listen.
