Why do you say that the best ability in life is to be reborn from the bottom?

Life is full of ups and downs, I don't know who will come first tomorrow or accident. Just like the weather in June, rain or shine is uncertain, just like the thoughts that I can't figure out, I am extremely happy, or I cry with joy.

In good times, everything goes smoothly, what you want is in front of you, and the person you want to see is opposite, and even the success you want can be achieved overnight. No matter where you go, you can feel the good temperature of the world, just like the most beautiful April day on earth, warm and fragrant, full of lazy sleepiness.

Shunda's life has no troubles, no bumps, and no sad tears to soak her eyes. Although comfortable, the comfortable state is easy to kill morale and give up the idea of hard work. Acquired or existing abilities are also unfamiliar and dull because of long-term shelving. Just like frogs in warm water, when they get used to ease, they lose the idea of fighting and have no obstacles to self-defense. Only in the face of a sudden disaster is it resigned to fate and left with regret.

In prosperity, it may be easy to achieve the goal, but it is not conducive to maximizing subjective initiative and cultivating and improving one's own ability. Because it's easy, why are you overqualified?

Adversity is different. If prosperity is to climb a towering mountain, it can call the wind and rain, then adversity is to fall into a deep valley and only look up at a small piece of sky overhead, which means that every day is invalid and the ground should be unresponsive. Darkness, loneliness, helplessness, despair, all these feelings with devil's face came in the dark, almost suffocating.

Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. It is true that you are in adversity.

In order not to be defeated by loneliness, crushed by despair, lost in the dark, to rush to the vast world, to see the light again, and to feel the grace of sunshine and rain again, we have to try our best to escape from the trough.

Although this process is hard, it has tempered endurance and strengthened the will. At the same time, it has released its hidden potential, consolidated its ability to bear hardships and stand hard work, and enhanced its courage in times of crisis.

Adversity tests human nature and ability. If you can come out of adversity and be reborn in the trough, congratulations, you have withstood the test of human nature and proved your ability. As Mencius said:

"Therefore, the sky will drop people, and they must first suffer from their minds, their bones and muscles, their bodies are hungry, their bodies are empty, and their actions are chaotic. Therefore, their perseverance has benefited them a lot. "

It can be seen that although suffering is bitter, it can increase talents and enhance abilities that cannot be easily obtained in the process of accumulating experience.

Failure is the mother of success, and the trough and adversity in life are the driving force to help people grow and become stronger.

The phrase "The best ability in life is nirvana rebirth at a low ebb" can also be found in Tang and Song poetry.

Historian Qian Mu commented on the characteristics of Tang and Song poets and their works in an article.

Bai Juyi's poems, for example, are selective in reading, which shows their advantages, but the poems in his later years are boring to read. The reason is that Bai Juyi lived in Luoyang in his later years, and he didn't say how comfortable and happy he was all day, that is, "I don't want to be an official anymore!" In other words, Bai Juyi lived a comfortable life in his later years, so his poems were not profound enough, and the realm of his poems was not profound.

Similarly, there is Su Shi. The greatness of Su Dongpo's poetry lies in his bumpy political career, and the ups and downs of emotions or circumstances are reflected in his poems. However, Su Shi once swam around the West Lake in Hangzhou, so his poems at this time were a bit boring to read.

On the other hand, the greatness of Du Fu and Du Shiwei is that he wrote poems about his daily life. However, Du Fu's daily life is rarely comfortable. Looking for a job in Chang 'an for ten years has little effect. The broken mountains and rivers caused by the Anshi Rebellion, and the drifting afterwards, are all carved into poems like keeping a diary. Due to his true feelings and profound insights, the realm of Du Fu's poems is much higher.

A poet should beware of prosperity. The reason why it is difficult to write good articles and articles worthy of scrutiny in a smooth life is because it is like a teenager who doesn't know the taste of sorrow. In order to assign new words, the "new words" written are inevitably far-fetched and pretentious.

Du Fu's poems just prove that "the country is unfortunate and the poet is lucky". The unfortunate background of the times made Du Fu's poems universally recognized as great. His life is full of difficulties, but it exercises his ability to write poems and compositions.

Du Fu's low life was reborn because of his famous sentences.
