Look back at the past carefully
Written by Shi Yanlei
The original meaning of the word "Look back" means to turn your head back, and later it was extended to recall and look back, that is, There are many more emotional colors, such as Su Dongpo's broad-mindedness of "Looking back to the desolate place, there will be no wind or rain or sunshine when I return", Li Yu's sadness of "The east wind blew in the small building last night, and the motherland cannot bear to look back in the bright moon", and Xin Qiji's "But... Looking back, under the Buddha and Li Temple, there was a wave of indignation.
Looking back is often a by-product of complacency or despair. Whenever there is a small achievement, in the spring breeze, people always have to recall the difficult and tortuous journey at the beginning. They can't help but express some emotion, show off their extraordinary perseverance to the people around them, and also politely thank those who have extended a helping hand. Leaders, friends and colleagues make people feel that it would be unbearable for him not to succeed. And whenever they feel lost or depressed, people will also think about the past, but most of them regret their original frustration, either because they missed a good opportunity, or because they accidentally went astray when making friends, and they never forget to find a reason for failure. The reason is either that the weather is not good, or that others are not doing their best, and after a while of lamenting, they drink to drown their sorrows.
The core of looking back should be introspection. Check whether the preparations before departure are sufficient, whether the shoes are not selected correctly, whether the water is not enough; check whether the route is correct. Unexpectedly, the highway during the short vacation turned into a parking lot, and the dirt road after the rain was extremely muddy. . The same goes for doing things. No matter whether you succeed or fail, you should sum up the experience gained and the reasons for failure. You should also reflect on the shortcomings in success and the gains in failure. You should see yourself clearly through reflection and recognize others clearly through comparison. , you will have a sense of normalcy, you will not forget what you have done when you are successful, and you will not blame others when your success fails. You will no longer take detours and dangerous roads, and you can avoid falling into the same pit repeatedly.
Li Yu's sadness stems from the misery of having his country destroyed and his family abandoned, but he did not shut himself up and reflect on his own mistakes, but was sentimental about the lost peace of singing and dancing. Xin Qiji's resentment came from the fact that he only had the ambition to serve the country but had no use for it, but he did not realize the real reason why the Southern Song Dynasty court was in a corner. But Su Dongpo realized the great realm of life just from a spring rain. His open-mindedness of "taking care of his life under the mist of a raincoat" is really admirable. This should be due to his ability to ask himself about his origins. Looking back means looking back at the past carefully, looking at oneself correctly, neither being arrogant nor belittling oneself; judging others fairly, neither exaggerating nor derogatory for any reason, appreciating the scenery in the distance in a calm manner, and at the same time noticing the cow dung nearby .
