Chapter 3 Verse 9 Patience is Everything

[Austria] Rilke
Criticism alone cannot bring a work of art to the level of art, it is alone, but love can catch it and keep it, and only love can do justice to it.

You must establish yourself and determine your feelings for discussions, criticisms, and introductions at all times.That way, even if you make mistakes, the natural growth of your inner life will slowly lead you into other knowledge over time.

You have to rationalize your judgment, for it must come from the heart, like all progress.Development will not be squeezed out, let alone urgent.

Sustained to the full moon, and born from it, that is everything.

In the process of development, regardless of time and years.Ten years is nothing.The so-called artist does not count or count, he is as mature as a tree.When the trees are bathed in the spring breeze and stand leisurely, there is no need to worry about whether the next summer will come as scheduled.The summer that comes as promised only comes to those who have strong endurance, as if lying in front of them forever, but it only comes to those who are not worried and quiet and gentle.

I learn this every day, and I learn this through pain, so pain is something I have to be thankful for.

Patience can be divided into small patience and great patience.

Han Xin's crotch humiliation is a little patience.As the saying goes: "Small intolerance can lead to big plans." People who have always achieved great things don't care about such small humiliations.Because, "The result of not being able to endure is often having to endure for a long time."

It is a kind of great patience for Sima Qian to write a book angrily after receiving the palace sentence.This kind of humiliation means that life is dripping with blood and trekking hard on the long road.As the saying goes: "Hold the first four tears, bear the knife in the heart." This kind of patience is to swallow the blood and tears secretly, and keep the sharp knife in the heart.

Therefore, patience is not only a kind of tact, but also a kind of tenacious perseverance and tenacious will.

Some people say that patience is limited, but this great patience seems to be unlimited.It mobilizes the greatest bearing capacity of life, can float all things like an ocean, and stand forever like a mountain.

Patience is painful.Pain is the price that must be paid for endurance.It suppresses the joy of human instinct, rolls and crawls naked on the road covered with thorns, blood is all over the face and ignores it completely.

Patience is one of the greatest human qualities.

Where there is pressure, there must be an explosion, and where there is patience, there must be a counterattack.The greater the pressure, the stronger the outbreak; the longer the endurance, the stronger the counterattack.

Therefore, not only should you pay attention to your own patience, but also often notice the patience of others towards you.A person who does not panic can be called a courageous person, while a person who is not afraid of danger is called a brave person.
