Epitaph: don't believe in books, only believe in fate.

I recently read a biography about Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of ZTE in Qing Dynasty. Zeng Guofan said before his death: "When I was young, I believed that only people could conquer the sky through hard work;" After middle age, frustrated, began to believe in fate; When I was old, I found that fate is the most important thing for people, so I left six words as my epitaph. Listen carefully-don't trust books, just trust fate. "

I can't help thinking back to the first half of my life. When I was very young, my family was too poor to go to school. Every day after mowing cattle grass, I wait for my brother and sister to come home from school and play with me at the intersection. Later, when I was eight years old, I finally went to school and could finally play with other friends, but I was two or three years older than them and always felt a little uncomfortable. Later, I said goodbye by studying the knowledge in the book, and gradually got enlightenment. I began to believe that "Heaven rewards diligence" and I believe that as long as I work hard, I will eventually get the reward I deserve; I began to pursue what I didn't want others to do to me. I believe that as long as I am honest with others, others will be honest with me. As long as I don't bully others, others won't bully me. We firmly believe that love should be pure. As long as men and women love each other, no matter rich or poor, they will definitely enter a happy marriage hall, because we firmly believe that true feelings are far more important than money. I began to firmly believe that my destiny is in my own hands, and I can master my destiny through my own development and get rid of the shackles of any environment and society.

From elementary school to high school, every exam will pay off your efforts. The belief that heaven rewards diligence is getting stronger and stronger, especially when the college entrance examination is passed and the university admission notice is received. Just a classmate, young, high-spirited, pointing out the country. As the teacher said, the future of the world belongs to us young people, a great world, let me soar. However, what we often don't realize is that at this time, we know astronomy above and geography below, and we know almost everything at all times and in all countries, and our knowledge is extremely rich; At the same time, every time we encounter a problem in our life, many of them look like some knowledge we learned at first sight, but the conditions are not exactly the same. As a result, our knowledge is useless and we still rely on experience to solve the problem.

After college, the problems we encountered gradually increased and the setbacks never stopped. Gradually, society will tell me cruelly: what is society, what is the difference between society and schools, and what is the difference between students and social people? We will deal with interpersonal relationships and things more and more like social adults we have seen before, replacing self-discipline with exercise, replacing knowledge with experience and replacing sensibility with reason, and gradually becoming people we hated before. What heaven rewards diligence, treats people with sincerity, and does not fight for it, all of which have vanished. Constellation, fortune telling, geomantic omen, beauty, dressing up, showing off wealth and entertainment have replaced the acquisition of book knowledge and become the main theme of life.

After graduating from college, although I haven't reached old age, I have come to understand that each age stage has its own mission to complete. Childhood and adolescence should study hard and get good grades; Young people should work hard and get married. Middle-aged people should develop steadily and earn money to support their families; Old age should not only exert its residual heat, but also provide for the elderly. In addition, if the society and the country encounter special circumstances, there may be other responsibilities and missions that we need to undertake. In some details, we may also meet some noble people who have changed themselves, meet some opportunities that affect the future direction, and change our destiny.

Books are the ladder of human progress, and their importance in the process of inheriting civilization is self-evident, which is of great significance in our enlightenment and development. However, apart from exams, books are far from the real world. Therefore, it is better not to read books and do things in society, not based on what is in books, but on the real society and do things effectively according to the situation. I just want to improve myself by reading. It is better to make clear your responsibilities and mission as soon as possible, actively reflect on everything you have experienced, encourage yourself, assess the situation, discover and create opportunities, and seize opportunities.
