Volume 5 Chapter 2 Take Mistakes into Your Own Hands [-]
Frivolity is the most unbearable humiliation for a person
Frivolity is the most unbearable humiliation for a person. From the day he is regarded as an ordinary person, he becomes no longer noble and noble.Frivolity is the antithesis of reputation.Just as calm people are considered to be superior to ordinary people, frivolous people are considered inferior to ordinary people, so they cannot command people's respect.Frivolity can damage a person's personality, because frivolity is the exact opposite of seriousness.Even after the age of forty, the frivolous person has no inner self-cultivation, although after years of tempering, he should have become cautious.The defect of frivolity, though common and not new, invites extreme contempt.

——"The Book of Wisdom"

In life, if you want to get rid of frustration, the most effective way is to control your impetuous mentality, practice your internal skills hard, and concentrate on doing things. Only in this way can you achieve your goals.

In Japan, a young man who had been repeatedly frustrated came to a temple to visit an old Zen master. He said to the old Zen master in frustration: "Life is always unsatisfactory, and life is also a struggle. What's the point?"

The old Zen master listened quietly to the young man's sighs and chatter, and finally told the young monk: "Bring a pot of warm water here."

After a while, the little monk brought a pot of warm water. The old Zen master grabbed some tea leaves and put them in a cup, then brewed them with warm water, put them on the tea table, and invited the young man to drink tea with a smile.Slight steam came out of the cup, and the tea leaves floated quietly.The young man asked puzzledly, "Why do you drink warm tea here?"

The old Zen master smiled and said nothing.The young man took a sip and shook his head: "There is no tea fragrance at all."

The old Zen master said: "This is a famous local tea."

The young man picked up the cup to taste again, and then said with certainty: "There is really no trace of tea fragrance."

The old Zen master told the young monk again: "Go and boil another pot of boiling water and bring it here."

After a while, the little monk came in with a pot of boiling water emitting thick white gas.The old Zen master got up, took another cup, put tea leaves, poured boiling water, and put it on the coffee table.The young man looked down and saw that the tea leaves were floating up and down in the cup, and the fragrance was endless.

The young man wanted to take the cup, but the old Zen master made a gesture to block it, and then lifted the kettle and poured a line of boiling water.The tea leaves churned even harder, and a ray of mellower and more intoxicating tea fragrance rose up and permeated the meditation room.In this way, the old Zen master poured water five times, and the cup was finally full. The green cup of tea held in his hand was fragrant and refreshing.

The old Zen master smiled and asked, "Does the benefactor know why the same tea tastes so different?"

The young man thought about it and said: "One cup uses warm water, and the other cup uses boiling water. The brewing water is different."

The old Zen master nodded: "With different water, the ups and downs of tea leaves are different. When tea is brewed in warm water, the tea leaves are light and floating on the water, how can it emit fragrance? When tea is brewed in boiling water, repeated several times, the tea leaves will sink and float, releasing the charm of the four seasons: both The tranquility of spring and the heat of summer, as well as the abundance of autumn and the coolness of winter. All living beings in the world are the same as making tea. It is equivalent to the temperature of the water for making tea is not enough, it is impossible to make a tempting aroma. It’s the same as drinking tea; your own ability is insufficient, so it’s difficult to be effective everywhere and everything goes smoothly. If you want to get rid of frustration, the most effective way is to practice your inner strength hard, and you must not be impetuous.”

Around us, there are many impetuous people like the young people in the story. They lose their purpose in the process of pursuing, instead of pursuing the most fundamental purpose of life, they pursue some formal success instead.In fact, instant achievements can make people gain short-term fame and fortune, but if we talk about eternity, it is nothing more than a superficial move.

In life, if we want to achieve eternal success, we must let go of our minds, calm down, get rid of the restraint of quick success psychology, see clearly the most fundamental purpose of life, and go forward step by step.Only in this way can we achieve our goals and finally embark on the road to success.
