Chapter 28 There are no desperate situations, only desperate people

I remember a philosopher said: "Only by learning to forget suffering and unhappiness can one become the happiest person." This sentence is so reasonable!In order to keep our feelings from being influenced by negative emotions such as worry, fear, depression, etc., we should learn not to let some unpleasant things in life change your existing good mood, and learn to forget them. Life never despairs.There are no desperate situations, only desperate people. Fabre did a famous scorpion experiment.He grabbed a scorpion and put it into a pot of burning coals. At first, just like the rumors said, the scorpion burned by the flames was furious, ramming around, rushing left and right. After a while, he quickly "suicide" in despair.Fabre, who squatted aside and observed carefully, thought that the scorpion really stabbed himself with a poisonous needle and died of the poisonous attack, so he gently picked it up with a pair of tweezers and put it on a layer of water-soaked ground. on the cool sand.

What Fabre didn't expect was that the "suicide" scorpion came back to life more than half an hour later, and it was as sensitive and active as it was before it was thrown into the brazier.Unbelievable, Fabre found another two scorpions to experiment with, and the result was exactly the same.From this, Fabre came to a brand new conclusion: before the desperate situation, the saying that the scorpion "suicide" was just a misinformation.In fact, this is an escape method adopted by the scorpion when it is in danger, it is a phenomenon of suspended animation, and it does not commit suicide.

Fabre is wise.Later, he raised his experimental conclusions to the realm of life, in order to expound the proposition that "as long as you live, there is no despair".He wrote: "Life is a serious thing, and we should not abandon it easily when encountering a little bit of difficulty and hardship. We should not regard life as a kind of enjoyment or a kind of suffering, but should regard it as An obligation, an obligation that must be fulfilled with all our strength as long as we live. It is the act of cowards and fools to let the last moment of life come early. We have the right to decide on our own will The way of falling into the abyss of death, but this does not mean that we have the right to commit suicide. Even insects with such a humble status still yearn for the hope of their own survival in desperation. As humans, we should have reason to believe that life, Never despair."

Yes, none of us can be sure of our own success or failure until the day when things come to light.It is doomed that we must dare to break through and fight hard before then, and we are doomed to experience some unimaginable setbacks in our work, so as to experience some emotions that touch despair.In any case, whenever you are in a difficult situation, please persevere and persevere, use your unyielding willpower to find the true meaning of hope in despair, encourage yourself with your still full enthusiasm, and spur yourself not to bow to difficulties , and resolutely do not bow to the predicament!

Life is to show its stalwart in the struggle, after a lot of hardships and hardships, you will have the beauty of struggle. There is an American named Bob Petrella, a TV producer in Los Angeles.
