Why did the ancient sages generally despise fame and fortune?

The foothills are full of flowers, birds and insects; On the mountainside are the trees of the sky, and the vultures are circling; The top of the mountain is a high wind and a sad whirlwind, and the blue sky hangs in all directions. These pictures come to life, and I can't help but think of three completely different lives, among which the loneliest climber, who has neither flowers and birds nor ancient trees to rely on, has achieved his own successful life. Therefore, success requires being able to endure loneliness like him.

The loneliness mentioned here is not the boredom of being isolated from the world, wandering the streets and alleys all day long and shouting "loneliness". Rather, it is a kind of loneliness in the depths of the heart, in the empty soul, leaving only things related to one's own ideals in the mind, no distractions, and no distractions to move forward. Success requires enduring loneliness.

Because any person will only be greeted with flowers and applause at the moment of his success, and the previous efforts are in a quiet state. As Bing Xin said, "The flower of success, people are only amazed by the brightness of its reality, but its buds were soaked in the tears of struggle and sprinkled with the blood of sacrifice." "The hour before dawn is always the darkest, and the sea before the storm is always the calmest; The icebergs before the avalanche are always the most beautiful, and nature is sending such a message to human beings in its most primitive way

Success requires enduring loneliness. Sally Lafi has won the American Hosting Award twice, when she appeared on the screen in a unique way, clean language, who would have thought of her hard work in various businesses and libraries, her failures again and again, and her efforts again and again, even if in exchange for only such a small step, but she still moved forward, and she finally became a gold mine in the American media industry. Dickens is the only great writer in modern history who can compare with Shakespeare, when he was young, his father was imprisoned for a crime, and under the great pressure of life, he has been secretly working hard, firmly believing that "the sun will always shine on my shoulders", and finally shocked everyone with the advent of "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Lone Star Tears".

His loneliness, his hard work made him great. The same Jin Dynasty writer Zuo Si spent ten years writing "Sandu Fu", creating the miracle of "Luoyang paper expensive". Ten years, ten springs, summers, autumns and winters, how many days and nights, how many scorching summers and colds, he endured it silently alone.

It is precisely because he is not afraid of loneliness that he can continue to work hard for ten years, and this is a true sage. To endure loneliness, first of all, you must set a clear goal, which will become your driving force, and when you are attracted by the distractions of the outside world, your goal will become your protective wall to block your distractions. Secondly, we must learn to persevere, Plato's success is inseparable from his extraordinary perseverance.

The world is a kaleidoscope, of course, it has its own colors and splendor. But don't give up the whole garden in front of you for a few wildflowers on the way, since you have chosen the distance, you only care about the wind and rain, since the goal is the horizon, then, the world can only be left with the back. Endure loneliness is just a test of success.

You could say they clear the bag. In ancient times, officialdom was very bitter.
