Chapter 17 Sixteenth Most Inspirational Quotes

Many people think that what young monks usually say must be full of Zen ideas, and the content should be such as "My Buddha is merciful", "It is not the wind that is moving, but your heart is moving", etc. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Let’s take Junior Brother as an example. Most of what they say has nothing to do with Buddhism and Zen. For example, Junior Brother Jie Ao most often said: "Do you have something broken that you want me to fix for you?" Full of danger, because the possibility of "surviving" the things he repaired is very small.However, Brother Jie Chi’s favorite words are full of aggressiveness. He often said: “Senior Brother Jie Chen, Brother Jie Ao, based on what you have done, I really think it is necessary to give you another ‘wow’.” Usually Jie After the idiot brother said this sentence, the following content is what Jie Chen and Jie Ao don't like to hear.

Relatively speaking, it seems that only Jiechen’s remarks are relatively peaceful, but what he said is not a wise aphorism. The sentence he said the most is: "Brother Jie Chen, I have always envied you, because you have such a lovely personality like me." A fellow apprentice, but I don't have one." So later Junior Brother Jieao concluded that, in fact, from an inspirational point of view, the speech level of the benefactors is no worse than that of the monks. For example, the benefactor Li in the town often said a lot of inspiring words. Benefactor Li is a small vendor in the small town. He opened a small shop by the square of the town, specializing in some handicrafts.Li Benefactor's favorite sentence is the famous saying of the poet Dante - go your own way and let others say it.And he did so himself.

Benefactor Li's shop was opened many years ago. When he was planning to open this shop, it was not all smooth sailing. At least most of his relatives and friends were against it.The reason is also very simple, because before Li Benefactor, there were many shops in the town, but most of the things they sold were some agricultural products or daily necessities. Sell ​​by the way.In their minds, Li Benefactor did not deal in "normal" commodities, but found a unique way to specialize in handicrafts. Such a plan is a bit risky.Moreover, a senior who has opened a grocery store for many years also provided data to prove that the demand for handicrafts in his store is extremely small. If he specializes in it, he may not even be able to earn the cost of the store.

But Li benefactor said boldly, "Go your own way, let others say it", and started to buy goods and open a store. Facts have proved that Donor Li has a good vision. Since his store opened, the business has been booming, and there is no such situation that other donors worry about making ends meet.Later, Li Benefactor himself said that it was not that the people in the small town had no demand for decorative goods, but that the previous shops were not mainly engaged in these things, and the natural variety was single and there was no choice, which eventually led to fewer patrons.In the second year after Li Benefactor opened the store, his reputation began to grow, and his customers were no longer just local customers. Some foreigners even established contact with him and wholesaled some products from his store to sell in other places.

Li benefactor's success was later passed on as a good story.Jie Chen also felt that this matter was quite representative, never being favored to succeed, the twists and turns and hardships involved are worthy of praise, and at the beginning Li benefactor said "go your own way, let others say it", Naturally, it has also become the content of the praises of the townspeople. The second time, everyone paid attention to Li benefactor because he was overborn. In fact, according to the policy, Li benefactor can have two children, but Li benefactor favors sons over daughters. After giving birth to three daughters in a row, he still plans to continue having children until he gives birth to a boy. until.Benefactor Li's plan caught the attention of Aunt Wu, who was in charge of family planning in the town. During that time, Aunt Wu was under a lot of pressure and went to work at Benefactor Li's house almost every day, because the family planning work had certain assessments every year. Li benefactor has another one, which means that Aunt Wu will fail the annual assessment.But in the end, Aunt Wu failed, and Li benefactor let the pregnant wife escape to other places, and finally succeeded in giving birth to a son.Although Li benefactor also apologized to Aunt Wu, he still couldn't hide his complacency, and he put out his famous saying "Go your own way, let others say it", but this time not many people applauded, Others jokingly said that Li benefactor "give birth to his own child and let others punish him".

The last time Jie Chen heard Li benefactor said that his famous quote was in the first half of the year. At that time, Li benefactor was obsessed with stock trading, and he talked about stocks with everyone. The most favorite stocks were related to high-speed railways. People who know nothing about stocks have to talk for a long time.Although benefactor Li is often confused about refraining from anger, he still understands what he means. Basically, what Li benefactor means is the future of high-speed rail and the future of high-speed rail stocks.Naturally, some people opposed Li's idea. An experienced investment expert advised Li to be careful.He advised Li benefactor to buy less. After all, those stocks have risen a lot. If the policy changes blindly, you may lose money.As a result, this time, Donor Li insisted on his idea again and invested a lot of money to buy those stocks.Those stocks rose well for a time, and there is a new version of Li Benefactor's famous saying: "Buy your own stocks and let others be jealous."

In the past six months, Jie Chen sometimes met Li benefactor, but rarely heard him say his famous words.Junior Brother Jie Ao said that it may be because the stocks he bought have fallen too sharply recently, so I am embarrassed to mention it. Jiechen was thinking, how powerful is language?Although sometimes small words can really make our hearts full of enthusiasm, but in fact, words are often the most empty and pompous.The same sentence from Donor Li can be used for inspiration, but it can also be used to make excuses for one's stubbornness. Perhaps there is really no theory in this world that can be worshiped blindly. The speaker and the understanding heart are the key points.
