The understanding of I just want to have the height of truth in The Height of Truth .

The so-called "height of truth" refers to the degree of reality and non-falsehood. This sentence was said by Alexandre Dumas. He just wants to have his real ability, achievements, and reputation, not trying to be famous, not relying on the strength of others, and he is what level it should be.

For Dumas's noble thought and behavior, even if the result is not recognized by others, it is regarded as a lesson, knowing one's own shortcomings, and then using the knowledge learned to make up for it. On the contrary, if you rely on borrowing the brilliance of others, the appreciation you get is also hypocritical, and you don't know your own shortcomings, and you will never be able to make up for them. There is an old Chinese saying that "the first 30 years look at the father and respect the son, and the last 30 years look at the son and respect the father".

But no matter who borrows whose light, I am afraid that the maximum period will not exceed thirty years. Only by relying on one's own "true height" can one win long-term respect.

The "true height" that Dumas referred to is the height of one's own reality, excluding the influence of external factors. It should be said that everyone has two heights, namely the "external height" and the "real height". The "external height" is explicit and obvious to all, while the "real height" is implicit and not everyone can recognize it.

However, the true height is more important for everyone.

Dumas wanted to use his true ability, not to make a name for himself, not to rely on the reputation of others, to know his own shortcomings, and then use the knowledge he learned to make up for it. On the other hand, if you rely on borrowing the brilliance of others, the praise you get is hypocritical, and you will no longer know your own shortcomings, and you will never be able to make up for them.

One day, Dumas learned that his son Alexandre Dumas was always hitting a wall when he sent manuscripts, he said to Dumas: "If you could send a text message to the gentlemen with the manuscript; Or just a sentence that says, 'I am Alexandre Dumas' son,' and maybe things will be much better. ”

Dumas said, "No, I don't want to sit on your shoulder and pick apples, which don't taste good." Not only did the young Dumas refuse to use his father's fame as a stepping stone to his career, but he quietly gave himself a dozen pseudonyms in order to prevent the gentlemen from associating him with his famous father.

In the face of those ruthless rejection notes, Alexandre Dumas was not depressed and still insisted on creating quietly. After his long ** "Lady of the Camellias" was sent, he finally shocked a senior with his brilliant ideas and wonderful writing. The well-known and Alexandre Dumas had many years of correspondence to live.

He saw that the sender's address was exactly the same as that of the great writer Alexandre Dumas, and suspected that it was another pseudonym taken by Alexandre Dumas, but the style of the work was very different from that of Alexandre Dumas. With excitement and questions, he couldn't wait to visit Alexandre Dumas's house by car.

To his great surprise, the author of the great work "La Traviata" was Alexandre Dumas, the unknown son of Alexandre Dumas. "Why don't you sign your real name to the manuscript? The old man asked Dumas suspiciously.

"I just want to have real heights," said Dumas. ”②

The old man was amazed by Dumas's approach.

It means that Dumas does not want his father's fame to make his road to success smooth sailing, he hopes to achieve the achievements of "Dumas" through the efforts of "Dumas", and he hopes that his efforts and rewards have nothing to do with his respected father - the essence of thinking that European and American descendants are accustomed to, is a model and a spirit. They are convinced that the "second generation of Wen" stepping stones are unreal. No matter what your background is, no matter whether your father is Li Gang or not, you can take the road to success smoothly in the name of independence.
