Don't live in details.

When it comes to details, many people seem to have been brainwashed, opening their mouths is such famous aphorisms as details determine success or failure, why not sweep the world, and that thousands of miles of dikes are destroyed by ant nests, so that they do not ask others what they want to say. Indeed, you can't live without details, but only details don't make life. This is like cooking, if there is no seasoning, the taste will not be delicious, but if the seasoning is put too far, it will not only be counterproductive, but also have an impact on health.

If you cook a great cause, you must pay attention to details when doing great things. But what's the point of all efforts if you only have details and lose your direction? For example, the faster the horse runs, the farther away from the destination. So, people can't just live in details.

There is such a description in Wu Jingzi's Outer History of the Scholars: when Yan Jiansheng was dying, he held out two fingers and refused to die, and several nephews and some family members came to be confused; some said for two people, some said for two things, and some said for two fields, one after another, but just shook his head. Zhao separated the crowd and went forward: & Master lsquo;! Only I can know what's on your mind. You are worried about the two stems of lanterns lit by that lamp, for fear of wasting oil; I will just pick out one stem now. Rsquo; said and hurried to pick out a stalk. When they looked at Yan, they nodded and lowered their hands, and they were out of breath.

Because there is an extra wick for fear of wasting oil until death, Yan Jiansheng's stinginess can be regarded as practicing to a certain level. When I read this passage for the first time, I thought it was very funny, and all I could think about was a question mark: how could there be such a person in this world? But after reading it carefully several times, I feel sorry for him: for such a small thing as two wicks, is it too humble to feel at ease about the existence of life? is it not so for us in life?

A trivial matter, an insignificant person, or even a disingenuous remark, often easily affect our mood. Some people offend us, we are angry; some people criticize us, we are sad; some people praise us, and we seem to be proud that we just live for them. As the saying goes, long arms can't stop other people's mouths. Everyone should have their own circle in mind and know what to do and what to do. As for other people's ear-to-ear life or pointing, we can use it to learn from each other's strong points and make up for deficiencies. We don't have to be the yardstick for ourselves, let alone affect our mood.

In life, everyone will encounter all kinds of troubles. If you pay too much attention to details, it will make a person who is strong enough to lift a feather unable to lift a feather, and a person who is clear enough to see the end of the autumn will not see the public opinion salary. With a little carelessness, even bad luck will be very detailed. People who live in details often blind their eyes with one leaf, do not see Mount Tai, plug their ears with two beans, do not hear the thunder, or even be bitten by snakes for a year and be afraid of well ropes for ten years. Jacky Cheung has a song with a few lyrics: you take the only love letter he has ever written to prove that you were not confused; he once cried for your escape from decadence and reunion. Unfortunately, love is not a few tears a few love letters closed eyes and drag the mistake, how can you keep true love when it comes? It can be seen that the details are quite misleading. And if we only have details in our eyes, we will inevitably become picky. When we feel that something is not perfect, we will think to ourselves that we can't eat well, can't sleep well, and even live a boring life. For example, on a long trip with friends, there is occasional unhappiness on the way, although the scenery along the way is beautiful and dull, which loses the meaning of travel.

If life is a distant mountain, the details are a grain of sand lurking in the soles of your shoes. Sometimes, what is really exhausting is not the distant mountains or the long journey, but the sand in the shoes. Observation of the end of the autumn in a hundred paces away, under the foot of the water, but can not see the shallow and deep, not the eyes are not clear, its potential is difficult to see. Therefore, you should know how to let nature take its course and don't cling to certain details. It's as if we can't completely negate other people's past achievements just because of a small mistake, or deny the whole of that person because of a certain defect in others, let alone deny the meaning of the whole life just because of a moment of dissatisfaction.

Details can determine success or failure, but they should not be allowed to dominate life. It is the spice of life and should be the driving force for happiness, not a burden. Other people's eyes and tongues make you depressed. What fun is there in life? With regard to the details, you can have the virtue of a meal, but there is no need to report the resentment of bitterness. In fact, in life, we have encountered unhappiness in this detail, and we can find it back in another detail. The so-called loss of the horse, how to know is not a blessing, do not get tangled in a certain segment, forget how wonderful the vast world outside.

As Zhou Xun sang in the song: the outside world is very generous, I can come back to life if I break out. Stay here I can not see the present, I want to go out to find my future, the world is very wide, to keep the direction to see the future, do not be held back by the details.
