Peace is golden
Peace is not only a good character, but also a kind of wisdom in life. People with a peaceful personality are open-minded about everything and can deal with fame, fortune, status, honor and disgrace with peace of mind. They always focus on their career without distraction, and even if they encounter setbacks and misfortunes, they can continue to move forward as always.
The French botanist Dia was an aristocrat. During the French Revolution, at the age of 70, he lost everything overnight. But his mind was as calm as water. Although he often had no food to eat and no clothes to cover his body, he was still cheerful. Once, the French Association of Natural Sciences invited him to give a report. He came on stage barefoot, and his first words were: "I'm sorry, I don't have any shoes today, but my bare feet are quite comfortable." The Association of Sciences was ready to give this strong man The old man was offered a little solatium, but he politely declined. When he died nine years later, people respected his will and buried him: a wreath was made of 45 plants identified in his life and placed on his coffin. This was the only one and no other things were needed. This really reflects his peaceful character, and he used this insignificant way to build an eternal monument to himself.
On the contrary, many of us attach too much importance to gains and losses, honors and disgrace in life, so we are busy all day long and are in high-intensity competition for fear of making a slight mistake. Once they fail to achieve their goals, they will become furious, complain about everything, be negative, pessimistic and resentful. In their eyes, there are only dark clouds, and they can never find the colorful sunshine in life. They are only arrogant and impulsive, lacking calmness and tenacity, so they always miss success. They have endless troubles and sorrows, how fragile their lives are, and how empty their souls are.
A person with a peaceful personality must be a tolerant, kind-hearted, open-minded and happy person. They are kind-hearted, tolerant and considerate of others, and have great restraint and patience. They are easy to get along with others, are charitable, make people happy, and will not be hated by others. They neither force others to make things difficult nor are they demanding on themselves. They look at the world peacefully and treat themselves indifferently, with a cheerful and wise light always shining in their eyes. Therefore, they always appear cheerful, optimistic and energetic. The Greek philosopher Cleander was still cheerful and happy even though he was 80 years old. Someone asked him: "Who is the richest person in the world?" He said categorically: "A contented person." Undoubtedly, a contented heart is a peaceful heart.
Don’t imitate the stormy waves that split the shore, nor do the nine-day waterfall. That will either be fleeting or lose-lose. It is better to be a quiet lake or a gurgling stream, warm, leisurely, leisurely and long-lasting. Therefore, peace is gold, peace brings blessings, and peace brings longevity.
