Confucius had a student. Because he saved a drowning child, he accepted a cow from the child's father as a token of gratitude. Everyone criticized him for being greedy, but Confucius praised him. There is also a student who redeemed a slave from Lu in the field and returned home without reporting to * * * *. Everyone praised him for his noble character, but Confucius criticized him.
For this story, I think Confucius' approach is not unreasonable.
Students who are paid after saving lives will be criticized by everyone in a short time, but in the long run, more people can be encouraged to save lives; Students who redeem people but don't pay the bill will get everyone's praise in a short time, but in the long run, everyone will not dare to save people easily.
Therefore, in the face of various choices, we should not only focus on immediate interests, but also take a long-term view and consider it more comprehensively.
Only by taking a long-term view can we realize our own life value.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li was the main counselor of Gou Jian, the King of Yue.
He advised Gou Jian, helped him to command the military, destroyed Wu, and let Yue dominate the Central Plains.
He knows that "Gou Jian is a man, but he can suffer from * * * and it is difficult to get along with him". In order to avoid the fate of "all birds are buried in the bow, and the rabbit is dead and the dog cooks", he retired voluntarily, abandoned his official position and went to sea, and changed his name to Tao Zhugong.
It is precisely because of Fan Li's foresight that he came to a good end in the business world and made some achievements.
Only by taking a long-term view can we win better development for the collective.
1950, when the plastic flower factory in Li Ka-shing, a "commercial giant", was established, a warehouse was chosen as the workshop to save meager rent.
Soon after, due to the continuous rainstorm in Hong Kong, the newly acquired plastic machines were damaged one by one, and they had to find another factory to operate less than two months after opening.
Li Ka-shing didn't blame others on the grounds of "bad luck", but began to think that everything he would do in the future should be considerate and leave room for himself.
In the future, he is trained to be extremely cautious. When he bought a yacht, he ordered two engines and two generators for a rainy day.
Even, "if both of them are broken, I still have a lifeboat with a motor." It was Li Ka-shing's foresight that led to the development of this company.
Failure to take a long-term view will lead to unpredictable consequences.
In ancient China, there was a man named Zhong Yong, who was smart and eloquent since childhood.
However, his father didn't realize that he should cultivate Zhong Yong well, and just took him to visit his fellow villagers everywhere. As a result, Zhong Yong lost his outstanding talent when he grew up, and changed from a genius to an ordinary person.
It is precisely because his father lacked long-term vision and failed to provide Zhong Yong with a good learning environment that he ended up being "an hour old but not good".
Only pay attention to immediate interests, can only get small profits; If you have a long-term vision, you can laugh at the end and reap the fruits of victory.
People will encounter many unexpected things in their life, so whenever they do anything, they should take a long-term view, take the overall situation into account, realize their own life value and win better development for themselves, others and society!
Chapter two: Take a long-term view.
The world we live in is a rapidly changing world. If you want to do something great, if you want to have a bright future, if you want to benefit the world, please learn to pay attention to it for a long time!
Sister Kenda's questioning is only a pity for the present, while Dr. Stullinger's answer represents a pioneering heart for the future.
At present, sympathy is the complaints of people in small towns and their incomprehension of the count. In other words, they don't have a long-term vision, but only value the small profits in front of them.
Therefore, we should learn from the Earl and Dr. Stullinger and take a long-term view of the future.
"Once you climb to the top of the mountain and peek, you will see that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky ..." Du Fu, a great poet, once believed that he would definitely see things through the clouds, and never failed once, but looked at the problem from a developmental perspective. "One day, I will ride the long wind, break through the stormy waves, sail straight and build a bridge on the deep sea." Li Bai, a poet, doesn't want to sink. He is inspiring himself with a long-term vision, and there will be times when he is proud. "study for the rise of China." This is the foresight of Comrade Zhou Enlai when he was young.
From ancient times to the present, many scholars and people with lofty ideals have focused on the long-term life before achieving great things.
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces" is a famous saying of Comrade * *, which shows that the modern world believes that science is right. Science is an important driving force for the development of a country and an individual. Without scientific support, life is decadent and meaningless.
Science can make people progress, and owning science can make people have a long-term vision.
Looking back on the ups and downs of his life, he was not defeated by difficulties. On the contrary, he became more frustrated and brave, and eventually became the chief architect of reform and opening up, benefiting China.
This is the person who looks to the future and has a long-term vision.
If * * * is vulnerable and crushed by political criticism, I'm afraid the history of China and even the world will be rewritten.
The future world is wonderful, but at the same time the future world is full of too many unknowns and doubts.
Frogs can't talk in the sea, and summer insects can't talk in the ice.
We don't want to be well frogs and summer insects, let time and space separate our understanding, become frogs in the well, and lose our long-term vision.
In fact, the world in which human beings live is unpredictable, but it also contains certain laws. If you think and do according to the law, your vision may become long-term and focus on the future.
Looking to the future, life will be better and more harmonious!
Chapter III: Long-term Vision
The eagle's eyes are sharp, so it can catch food quickly; Gecko has a long-term vision, so it dares to cut its own tail; People's eyes are wise, so they can harvest fruits on the journey of life.
In real life, life seems invisible, but people with vision will find it in their own hands, and they are the captain of life.
Foresight reflects the wisdom in the value of life.
Real life is always bumpy, which is a test for people.
Only people with vision can pass this long and special exam and realize their life value, right? Look at the hesitant scientist Galileo.
In the face of the harsh intimidation of the inquisition, he was able to die heroically and get flowers, applause and praise; You can also drag out an ignoble existence and live in the eyes of the world.
He resolutely chose the latter.
His choice is very insightful.
Because he saw the future development of physics and his achievements in this field.
It is because of his wise vision that he not only realized his own life value, but also made important contributions to mankind.
It can be seen that foresight embodies wisdom in the value of life.
Only with a long-term vision can we achieve great things.
Short-sighted, can only get petty profits; Only with a long-term vision can we truly reap the fruits of success and create great achievements for future generations.
Open the vast history, which contains countless successful people.
Sima Qian was far-sighted and willing to go to jail, but he finished his masterpiece Historical Records and became a wonderful flower in the treasure house of Chinese culture. In the long run, Han Xin suffered "the humiliation of stepping down" and eventually became a general, competing for the Central Plains and leaving a name in history; Li Bai was far-sighted, gave up his dream of promotion, traveled around famous mountains and read mountains and rivers, and wrote many brilliant poems, which added luster to Chinese culture.
People who made great achievements in ancient times were not only talented, but also far-sighted.
If there is no long-term vision, perhaps Sima Qian will get lost in the long river of history; Maybe Han Xin will die without a name; Maybe Li Bai spent the rest of his life in officialdom.
It can be seen that to become a big player, you must have a long-term vision.
Caring for the next generation requires a long-term vision.
Zhong Yong should be regarded as an excellent person, but in the end he "disappeared from everyone"
This is because his father lacked long-term vision and did not provide Zhong Yong with a good learning environment, which led to the unfortunate ending that he was "an hour old but not good".
The "Three Movements to Meng Mu" is an example of caring for children and having a long-term vision.
It is an example for many parents who want their daughters to become phoenixes and their children to become dragons.
Have a vision, this is a kind of life wisdom.
With a long-term vision, our life will be better.
Chapter four: Long-term vision and long-term interests.
For the problem that the beams will dry and rot in 350 years, the architect is ready to ensure the safety of the school auditorium, which is the architect's foresight.
So I think we should look at the problem from a long-term perspective.
Only a long-term vision can bring long-term benefits.
Meng Mu's Three Major Movements is a well-known story. In order to give Mencius a really good educational environment, Meng Mu took great pains to move to three places twice and finally moved to the vicinity of the school. What Mencius learned was courtesy, which was reassuring.
This is a prescient name as a mother. She knows that a good humanistic environment is very important for children's growth and character cultivation. Mencius later became one of the representatives of Confucianism, which I think was inseparable from his long-term mother.
Looking at the long term will bring long-term benefits, on the contrary, it will make short-term benefits disappear faster.
Fang Zhongyong was a child prodigy, but he had a short-sighted father. "Sun Ban Zhong Yong saluted the people in the city and stopped studying." Because of this, Zhong Yong with extraordinary talent "disappeared from everyone".
This is the tragedy of this child. If Fang Zhongyong can get a good education, I think, with his talent, his poems will be handed down to this day.
Different families, different eyes and different education lead to different results.
Meng Mu has a long-term vision. She hoped that her children could grow up in a good environment, but Fang Zhongyong's father only thought that Zhong Yong's talent could be exchanged for property at that time, without considering the children's future.
All parents, long-term vision has created a child, and short-term vision has ruined a child prodigy.
Therefore, it is essential to have a long-term vision.
The architect's long-term vision has made the auditorium of Oxford University look brand-new, saving the energy and financial resources to find oak.
Where is our long-term vision? Nowadays, the problem of environmental damage is becoming more and more serious. Global warming, greenhouse effect and biological extinction are all severe tests facing mankind.
While we are living comfortably, are we aware of what kind of environment our future generations will live in? Development is important, but what is the significance of development if it leads to the impossibility of survival? So, take a long view, and tomorrow's income will be longer.
Only with a long-term vision can we gain long-term benefits. Don't blindly covet the temporary temptation in front of you. Maybe mantis catches cicada and yellowbird is behind.
If you look farther, you will see more and get better.
Chapter 5: See further.
Kodak Lab developed the first digital camera as early as 20XX. Digital cameras don't need film, but Kodak, as a film company, is worried that the sales of film will be affected and gave up the big cake of developing digital business.
In the wave of popularization of digital cameras, Kodak has been losing money for years and is on the verge of bankruptcy.
It can be seen that we should not only pay attention to immediate interests, but also take a long-term view.
As the saying goes, "rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests." Rabbits don't eat grass near their eyes, because they know that once the grass near their nests is eaten, they will be exposed in broad daylight, and only death will wait for them. So the rabbit would rather walk a few more steps than be shaken by the immediate interests.
It is the rabbit's wisdom that makes it escape from the enemy again and again.
Even animals know this truth, and humans should know it more.
Let's not just focus on the small profits in front of us, otherwise we will only have bad luck in the end. Isn't Sanlu Company an example?
Take a long-term view and don't be complacent about the little achievements you have made in front of you.
Napoleon, a military strategist, was a visionary. He won a war, did not put on a celebration banquet, and even went to command the next war without attending the surrender ceremony.
When Napoleon's army marched straight into Enemy at the Gates, the enemy was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the result of the war could be imagined.
Chinese athletes have made remarkable achievements in the past 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but they are not complacent and satisfied with the status quo, but have devoted themselves to harder training, which has enabled them to achieve brilliant results in the Asian Games and the World Championships.
Their pursuit of success never stopped. They set their sights on the upcoming 20 12 London Olympic Games in order to create more brilliant achievements. I believe they will succeed.
In the long river of history, those short-sighted people have disappeared with the passage of time.
Therefore, we should "cast a long line and catch big fish", and don't give up the opportunity to catch big fish for the sake of small fish and shrimp in front of us.
