Chapter 5 detour

We often see the lost dragonfly flying desperately towards the glass window in the room, intending to go to the place where the sea and the sky are wide.It spotted the piece of light coming in through the glass window, and flew over it tenaciously, but every time it hit the glass.It had to struggle on it for a long time before it regained its sanity, and then it circled around the room, mustered up its courage again, and still flew towards the glass window. Of course, it still "hit the wall and returned". In fact, the door next to it was open, but it didn't want to try that door because it didn't look as bright as this one.

The pursuit of light is the nature of most creatures.No matter how they suffer failures or setbacks, they are always resolutely fighting towards a bright place. However, when we see a dragonfly that has run into a wall and returned, we can't help but want to tell it: Sometimes in order to achieve our goals, we have to change to another one. Seems the more distant, more hopeless direction; otherwise, you'll just have to go in circles forever between trying and failing until you're all down. The spirit of perseverance is admirable, but if we can see the target here, but there is only a steep mountain wall in front of us, and there is no path to climb, we have to change the direction and take a detour.

In order to achieve the goal, it is sometimes a manifestation of wisdom to temporarily take a road that runs counter to the ideal.In fact, there are few convenient and direct paths in life. We often have to put our goals behind us, and patiently do the work of overcoming obstacles, paving roads and building bridges. We often have to try many seemingly very dark and hopeless roads before we find that we are a little closer to our goals. As long as we remember our ideal direction, it may not be a mistake to go around a few more circles. Don't show off your bravery, don't be like that stubborn dragonfly.Please use your wisdom and patience!You can temporarily succumb to a career you don't like, you can temporarily deal with people you hate or despise, you can temporarily walk into a dark culvert—as long as you don't forget to get out from the other end of it, as long as you always Knowing that all these are just means, not your ultimate goal, you don't need to be discouraged and sad; and you don't need to care about how people around you criticize or laugh at you.

French writer Lenon said: "Don't be anxious! The road we walk is a winding and winding mountain road. We have to turn many turns and go around many circles. Sometimes we feel as if our backs are facing the goal. In fact, we are always getting closer and closer to the goal. .” People who know how to go around in circles are often the first to climb the mountain.
