Giving up is a kind of life wisdom.

The ancients said: "To achieve great things, you must first know how to be willing. If you lose, you gain. This is a fact! "

So, what is willingness? Modern Chinese Dictionary is interpreted as "willing, not stingy". Jia Pingwa wrote in "Shede": "People who can survive, or successful people, actually know two words: Shede. I can't bear it. Small houses are small and big houses are big. "

Being willing is a kind of life wisdom and a choice to achieve life. As long as you are willing, everything in life will be smooth sailing, such as the spring breeze.

Recently, I was listening to Huashan's Zi Zhi Tong Jian, which said that Wang Jian, a general of Qin State, was willing to give up three times in the process of attacking Chu State.

Wang Jian gave up for the first time and asked the king of Qin to send 600 thousand troops to battle; In order to win the final victory, he is willing to give up manpower and material resources. His second house is to abandon useless reputation; He would read the mind of the king of Qin, so he asked the king of Qin to promise him gold and silver treasures and beautiful houses in fertile fields after victory, so as to dispel the king's doubts and save his life. His third house is willing to give up time; He did not hesitate to spend two years to let the soldiers recuperate and wait for the time to be ripe before winning by surprise.

In this battle, Wang Jian won three things, each of which was more worthwhile than giving up.

In fact, the same is true of unity. The other six countries, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei, are not ignorant of unity, but do not know how to unite in the end. They all hope to win the victory at the least cost. Watching others fight with each other, I finally benefited from it, but I was finally swallowed up by Qin for a little benefit.

As the saying goes: I can't bear to be a beggar. Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty gave up her splendor for the stability of the frontier, and was handed down as a beautiful talk by later generations.

In 64 1 AD, in order to strengthen the friendly relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, Princess Wencheng resolutely abandoned her rich life, left her beloved land, left her relatives who lived together day and night, and walked into the low felt house with a car bell. After Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she not only ensured the stability of the southwest frontier in the Tang Dynasty, but also made a decisive contribution to the future development of Tubo. The story of Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet and her historical achievements in promoting Tibetan culture have always been remembered and praised by people.

A classic advertising slogan is widely circulated: "I know I wasted half of the advertising fee, but I don't know which half." This sentence tells the helplessness and sadness of business operators. For enterprises struggling to start a business, every penny should be divided into two and a half flowers. However, in order to shape corporate image and enhance corporate brand, we must be willing to increase publicity at all costs and strive to form a strong atmosphere of "everyone knows".

In fact, such examples abound around us.

A friend of mine finally got the long-awaited accounting certificate through some efforts, and now he has an enviable income. Behind the good life, he gave up the time for ordinary people to have fun and rest, and buried himself in reading; He was willing to sweat and achieved success that others could not.

Another friend resolutely gave up the great opportunity of promotion and made up his mind to take a back seat and live a mortal life. In his view, "watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court and watching the clouds rolling in the sky" is the most beautiful realm of life.

Buddha said, "May it be a kind of wisdom." In today's materialistic society, we don't have to pursue perfection in everything. Many people and things are just passing by. Only by learning to give up can we get a peace of mind and detachment.
