Math is the only thing where you can prove something using theorems. Proving one's view of the world order is at least ignorant, at most insulting. But wise phrases about life, people and the world as a whole do not agitate the public to live according to their laws, they reveal to us the worldview of other people who lived before us and reached certain heights. You can agree with these statements, or you can ignore them, in any case, they give each of us a clear understanding that everyone thinks about life, but sees it differently.
Our achievements
Thomas Edison once said:
Most people miss the opportunity because it can be dressed in overalls and looks like work.
This wise phrase has lived for more than a decade and has successfully reached our days. Is it current now? Yes, definitely! What will we have if we analyze the main part of society? Most people hate their jobs, but they go there all the time, because that's how it's supposed to be. And more than onceit happens that a person is offered a new place, in the same position, with the same salary. It seems that it is not surprising that he refuses, having got used to his place over the years.
This is his main mistake: he did not make a decision. Suddenly, in a new company, his career will immediately go up, the work will bring pleasure and, as a bonus, a solid profit?! But the chance is lost, and no one will ever know about it.
Falls and the right path
Kano Jigoro once remarked:
If you fall seven times, get up eight.
This wise phrase describes with meaning how to achieve your goal. But not everyone can get up after falling. Once disappointed in something, people stop making efforts, they look for something that is tested, safe and, no matter how you look, futile.
Besides, no one said it was easy to achieve something, sometimes:
You have to turn off the right road to be on the right track.
This is a statement by Aurelius Markov.
Society constantly imposes on us an opinion about how we should live. You need to go to work, you need to start a family, you need to have children. If you did this, then you are a successful person - get a pension in old age and do not deny yourself anything. But is the person happy?
Without hesitation, people do what has already been tested by centuries of experience. And if someday someone has the idea to buy a house on the outskirts of the city,quit work, write books on long winter evenings, and travel around the country in the summer in the company of an old, shabby, but cunning cat, he will immediately drive her away. It's strange, it's not accepted, it's scary. As Chinese wisdom says:
If people were trying to improve themselves instead of saving the whole world, if they were trying to achieve inner freedom instead of liberating all of humanity, how much they would do for the real liberation of humanity.
Terry Pratchett rightly pointed it out:
A normal family man who goes to work every day and is responsible for his duties is not much different from the most crazy psychopath.
Doors open to the brave
Miguel Cervantes once said a wise phrase:
He who loses we alth loses a lot, he who loses a friend loses more, he who loses courage loses everything.
Both in the old days and now, only brave people achieve something. No matter what they wanted - money, power, love - they went ahead. This does not mean that they were not afraid, does not mean that they all had influential patrons. Such people simply understood that if they backed down now, they would regret it all their lives later. Reluctantly, holding back trembling in the knees, by an effort of will, returning the soul from the heels to its place, they made efforts and moved forward.
Friedrich Goebbel once said:
Great people are the table of contents of the book of humanity.
And all these greatpeople managed to tame their fear, found courage and achieved something significant.
Man
How many more wise thoughts and phrases have been written about life, not to count. And, rereading them all, I would like to involuntarily notice that what kind of person, such is his life. People will never fully understand each other, but they are forced to live in the same society and must somehow coexist. Here are some wise phrases to help you achieve this:
- There has never been such a person who would not receive an appropriate award for a worthy deed.
- People with lots of ideas are never serious.
- If you want to be original, always tell the truth.
- You can learn from everyone, but you don't have to imitate anyone.
- Even if you see that a person is lying, try to understand why he is doing it.
- Indifference is a deadly poison for the human soul.
- You can judge a person by what they laugh at.
- The best thing in human life is friendship with other people.
Heart wants to scream
A person's life is humiliatingly short, and while we are sorting through wise phrases and clever thoughts, it passes, dissolving into eternity in seconds. And there will be everything in life: joy and sorrow. Perhaps there will be more of the second, but there is no better teacher than misfortune. Moreover, a soul that has never seen suffering will not be able to know true happiness. And there was no such person who would constantly win the lottery.
Everyone hasa man must have something for which he is ready to die. And if this is not there, then he needs to start all over again: throw the book of life into the fireplace and open a new, unstained tome, because the most difficult thing is to rebuild the old one.
People are dynamic substances, they should not stop at the same place, content with dull work, TV in the evenings and leisure in the bar on weekends. Life is full of colors, and the human heart is full of desires. No need to deny yourself little nonsense, small desires and serious requests. Let at this time a person look a little strange, let him be considered crazy, but he may feel happy for the first time. To be happy is the true purpose of our existence. Ultimately, life is just a fable, valuable for its content, but never for its length.
