① A story about learning to give up
I once read a story: On the train, an old man accidentally dropped a new shoe. Another shoe was also thrown out of the window. The passengers didn't understand. The old man firmly said that no matter how expensive the shoe was, it had lost its use to him, but the person who picked up the shoe was different. So instead of keeping a shoe that is of no use to you, why not choose to give up and maybe make someone else successful?
From the old man, I saw wisdom and deeply understood the essence of giving up.
Everything has two sides, joy and sadness, possession and loss. They seem to be opposite and contradictory to each other, but in fact they are related to each other. Just a thought can change the world and change the world.
Dandelion gave up her mother's warm embrace, put on wings, and went to find her own paradise.
Epiphyllum gave up its short life and suddenly appeared, but also wanted to leave its most beautiful moment to the night and the world.
How can people be embarrassed when things are like this?
People who know how to give up are wise. For example, Fan Li understands that "when the birds die, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys will be cooked."
People who know how to give up are wise. For example, Lu Xun gave up medicine after studying abroad for many years, turned to literature, and used the pen in his hand to treat the stubborn diseases of old China.
I once thought that giving up was a betrayal of reality, or a numb or negative attitude towards life. But after I read the old man’s story, I understood that giving up a far-fetched and If you hope too much, you will get another world.
In fact, giving up does not mean doing nothing. On the contrary, only giving up appropriately can make a difference.
Giving up is also a kind of beauty. Only when we know what to give up can we truly understand some philosophies of life.
② A Buddhist story about letting go
A monk took his apprentice down the mountain, told him a lot of rules and regulations, and finally emphasized them repeatedly, telling him that the most important thing for his apprentice is that you must give it to him. I remembered that I was not allowed to approach women, and I cleared it several times. His apprentice said that I had remembered it. As I walked down the mountain, I happened to walk to a river, and a beautiful girl asked for help. She said: I am dizzy and cannot cross the river. . Who can carry me across? The monk said I will carry you across. As soon as he put me there, the girl lay on his back, and the two of them chatted and crossed the river. After crossing the river, the monk put the girl down and left. His disciple was very angry. Before going down the mountain, you told me so many times that you are not allowed to have sex with girls when you see them. Why did you carry them on your back when you saw girls? You didn’t dare to ask, but you ended up walking ten miles. You were so depressed. , I really can’t hold it in any longer. He said: Master, I will die of suffocation if I don’t ask anymore. Master said: What could hold you back like that? The disciple said: You told me not to have sex with women. Why do you do it when you see a girl? The master said: "I put her down when I crossed the river. Why can't you let her go after walking ten miles?"
③ Asking for a philosophical story about giving up when it's time to give up
< p>In the tropical forests of India, people use a unique hunting method to capture monkeys: put the nuts that monkeys like to eat in a fixed small box, and open a small opening in the box. , just enough to accommodate the monkey's front paws. Once the monkey grabs the fruit in the box, it can never pull its paw out. Because this kind of monkey has a habit - it is unwilling to give up what it has already obtained. The monkey refused to give up the fruit he had caught, so he was caught and lost his freedom. At that time, Einstein received a letter inviting him to serve as the president of Israel, but Einstein rejected the invitation and gave up the position. He said: "I have been dealing with the objective world my whole life, so I lack the innate ability to "I am not suitable for this position because of my lack of experience in handling administrative matters and treating others fairly." Einstein gave up this position that many people envied, focusing on the objective world and maximizing the value of his life. Become a master of science. The boat of life cannot carry many desires. If you want to reach the other side of your ideal, you can only carry it lightly and decisively give up those things that can be let go. The fate of the Indian monkeys and the story of Einstein tell us a truth: give up when it’s time to give up.
④ The story of a famous person who knew how to "let go"

⑤ A Buddhist scripture tells a story about letting go.
Because of the power of Hei's Brahma, the World Honored One held two acacia and sycamore flowers in his left and right hands to offer to the Buddha. The Buddha calls the immortals, and the Brahma aspirants answer the promise. Buddha said: "Put it down." Fanzhi then put down a flower in his left hand. The Buddha called the immortal again: "Put it down." Fanzhi put down another flower in his right hand. The Buddha called the immortal again: "Put it down." Brahma said: "World Honored One, my hands are empty now, what should I teach you to let go of?" The Buddha said: "I am not teaching you to let go of the flowers of the house. You should let go of the six dust particles outside the house. , the six inner faculties, and the six inner consciousnesses. If you give up for a moment, there is no place to let go, and this is the place where you will avoid birth and death." Brahma Zhi said that there is no endurance.
⑥ Historical stories about letting go of interests
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ying served as a bachelor of Wenhua Palace and the Minister of Rites. The official residence in his hometown of Tongcheng is adjacent to the Wu family. There is an alley between the two courtyards for both parties to enter and exit. Later, the Wu family wanted to build a new house and wanted to occupy this road, but the Zhang family did not agree. The two sides could not settle the dispute and took the lawsuit to the local county government. The county magistrate took into account that both families were from well-known families and did not dare to end it easily.
At this time, the Zhang family wrote an urgent letter to Zhang Ying in anger, asking him to come forward to solve the problem. After Zhang Ying read the letter, he thought that he should be humble to his neighbors. He wrote four sentences in his reply to his family: The letter from a thousand miles is only for a wall, so why not give him three feet? The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen. After reading it, the family members understood the meaning and took the initiative to give up three feet of space. Upon seeing this, the Wu family was deeply moved and took the initiative to give up the Sanchifang base, hence the name "Liuchi Lane".
⑦ Stories of famous people who bowed their heads at the right time
Franklin, known as the father of the United States, once visited a senior when he was young. Young and energetic, he walked with his chest high and his head held high. He hit the door frame when he entered. When the senior who greeted him saw this scene, he smiled and said: "Does it hurt? But this will be the biggest gain of your visit today. Alone When living in the world, you must always remember to keep your head down."
Coincidentally, someone once asked Socrates: "You are the most learned person in the world, so what would you say is the height between heaven and earth. ?" Socrates said without hesitation: "Three feet!" The man disagreed: "We are each five feet tall, and there are only three feet between the sky and the earth. Doesn't that break the sky?" Socrates smiled. Said: "So, if anyone with a height of more than three feet wants to stand between heaven and earth, he must know how to bow his head." That is to say, remember that no matter what your qualifications and abilities are, you are just a small element in the vast society, and you are undoubtedly insignificant. When we value our goals higher, we must keep a low profile on the stage of life, maintain a low profile in life, take ourselves less seriously, and take others more seriously. Franklin understood the profound truth from it and included it in his life principles.
In fact, our lives are not like this. People who think their talents are underappreciated often cannot see the excellence of others; cynical people often cannot see the beauty of the world; only those who dare to bow their heads and constantly deny themselves can continue to learn lessons and rejoice in the success of others. Only by being proud of your understanding of others can you feel at ease in the face of setbacks.
When you come out of confusion, you will find that bowing your head in good faith is actually a rare state: bowing your head is also a kind of ability. It is not inferiority or cowardice. It is a kind of transformation management in sobriety.
If we compare our life to mountain climbing, some people are just starting at the foot of the mountain, some are trekking up the mountainside, and some have reached the top. But at this time, no matter where you are, please remember Live: You should put yourself at the lowest point of the mountain. Even if you are "at the top of the mountain", you must still bow your head, because in the long journey of life you have experienced, there will inevitably be times when you meet.
Bowing is also a kind of ability. Sometimes, if we lower our heads a little, maybe our life path will be more exciting.
⑧ Give at least 3 examples of appropriate giving up, both at home and abroad, both in ancient and modern times. I will be grateful.
Let me first state that I can only give you two examples. 1. There is a smart young man who really wants to be better than the people around him in all aspects. He especially wants to be A university scholar. After many years, he has made some progress in various aspects, but he is still far away from becoming a university scholar. He was very distressed and went to a master for advice.
The master said: "Let's climb the mountain. You may know what to do when we reach the top of the mountain."
There are many small crystal stones on the mountain, which are really charming. Whenever he saw a stone he liked, the master asked him to put it in a bag and carry it on his back. Soon, he couldn't take it anymore. "Master, if you carry it again, let alone to the top of the mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to move." "Yes, what should I do?" The master smiled slightly. "It's time to let it go," the young man said. "Then why don't you let go? How can you climb a mountain with a rock on your back?" the master said.
2. Tolstoy told a story about a man who wanted to get a piece of land. The landowner said to him, early in the morning, you run out from here and plant a flagpole after a short distance. As long as you come back before the sun sets, the land where the flagpole is planted will belong to you. The man ran away desperately, not content with the sun setting in the west. Before the sun set, he ran back, but he was exhausted. He fell down and never got up again. So someone dug a hole and buried him on the spot. When praying for this man, the pastor said: "How much land does a person need? It's just that big.
