Chapter 3 Cultivation III
As a cultivator, the mental strength index is extremely important. Its strength often determines whether the cultivator can continue to practice in the same place.
What is the mental strength index? It refers to the rebound index generated by the mind being subject to external pressure. If the external world puts greater pressure on the mind and the greater rebound of the mind, it proves that the mind is very strong and has not been affected too much from the outside world. On the contrary, if the external world puts greater pressure on the mind and the smaller rebound of the mind, it proves that the mind is very weak and becomes more bound by the influence of the outside world.
The mental strength index is not the same as strong or weak for practitioners who have just entered the world. There are differences between natural and acquired. Some practitioners have very strong spiritual strength index, while others have very weak spiritual strength index. The weak ones need to use acquired efforts to improve the mental strength index.
And I belong to one of the second group with weak mental strength index.
The external pressures that every practitioner is afraid of are also different. Some are afraid that the labor force will not be paid accordingly, some are afraid that the face will not be guaranteed, some are afraid that the health will not be guaranteed, some are afraid that the people behind it, some are afraid of the harsh words of their bosses, some are afraid of the communication and maintenance of interpersonal relationships, and some are...
In short, there are a lot, and the external pressure I fear the most is the communication and maintenance of interpersonal relationships, which can also be described as a "fatal weakness".
The first job I practiced happened to be very close to interpersonal relationships. How big the challenges in the future are for me can be compared to a child who is afraid of dogs fighting with a big wolf dog. Fighting may not necessarily lead to losing, but losing may not necessarily lead to overcoming the psychological barrier of fear of dogs.
Interpersonal relationships actually existed since I was a study age. Because I can’t deal with it, I didn’t make many friends in my more than ten years of study. You can see it at a glance by looking at the number of views I said.
However, after all, it was in the study era. When you leave society, when you face colleagues who need to communicate, you cannot be as taciturn as you do in the study era. However, you still cannot overcome your spiritual weakness in one go.
Sister Zhen, Brother Yong, Brother Xi and Bao Lian in the apartment are all going to work, so I'm sleeping in. Let's feel the taste of lazy, because I don't know how long it will take to have a safe laziness in the future.
I don’t have to go to work, nor do I need it. I should say I can’t. I’m not a part of their group. I still need to receive training and pass the training before I can enter this group.
In the afternoon, I returned to the company headquarters and watched a movie with Ying and the others.
It's not a pastime. Manager Zhang asked us to think about what we saw after watching the movie. He would ask us questions.
There are two movies we have seen, one is "Glorious Years", which is a real story adaptation of a "miracle" in American baseball history, where blacks and whites won the game from dislike each other and working together. The other is the very popular "Kung Fu Panda".
After watching these two movies, I really benefited a lot, and to some extent, I improved my cultivation value.
I have said that the content of my cultivation is mainly the perfection of the spiritual world. Thinking about the meaning of the movie is exactly related to the philosophical thinking in my spiritual world. In other words, I like to think about these issues very much.
Because there is no right or wrong thinking about these. The main thing is to express your own ideas. If it is suitable, use them.
After watching "The Glorious Years", Manager Zhang asked each of us to express our thoughts after watching the movie on the podium.
He didn't call anyone to go up to the podium first, he just said that the opportunity was achieved by himself.
So, they took turns to talk. I was the last one. From this we can reflect that I did not strongly strive for the best, and also laid the foundation for my future departure.
When I went up to speak, although there were only a few people in the conference room, I was still very scared. My legs were shaking very hard. At this time, I thanked me for my speech in the study era. If I had never given a speech in the study era, maybe I really couldn't say anything on the podium.
Take a deep breath! Okay, I started to express my thoughts. That idea was what I thought before I watched the movie. I think everyone is the protagonist of their own life.
The reason why there is friction between people is because the way each protagonist thinks and lives in is not exactly the same. The protagonist is not permanent. Sometimes, when you work with others and others are better than you in some aspects, you have to learn to be a supporting role. For the benefit of the collective, the protagonist keeps changing.
And I have always believed that in the collective, I don’t have to be the protagonist, but in my life, I have to be the protagonist.
I talked about my views and infiltrated the plot of the movie. I talked for a long time, but after I finished speaking, Manager Zhang gave me an evaluation that I will never forget.
This evaluation is also the first time I heard someone say to me when I was so old. His evaluation is: Jinlong, you are a very wise person.
The word "wisdom" has much more weight in my heart than "smart". Why? Because there is a saying of "little cleverness and great wisdom".
Whether Manager Zhang really commented on me like this or intentionally, I felt very happy! For this reason, the mental strength index has been improved.
Manager Zhang asked us to prepare for one night and set off for training the next day for three days and two nights. The training location is Huadu.
After that, a few of us left our contact information together. In this way, we began to meet Ying, Wei, Yi, Shanshan, Hui, Da, and Bin.
Back to the apartment, it was already evening.
The enthusiastic sister Zhen continued to prepare dinner carefully, and her skills were really good. Also, women who love to cook looked very beautiful!
While dinner was in progress, the door suddenly opened. A little sister came in, and then Sister Zhen and Bao Lian jumped up excitedly and said, "Mimei, you are finally back!"
Well...I'm still in a daze...
Who is this girl?
Later, through their words, I finally realized that she was also my senior sister, and she came in a few days earlier than Bao Lian.
Her name is Xiaomei, she is relatively small and looks like a little sister. However, her popularity makes people feel better about her superficial impression because she is a powerful female sweater.
After dinner, I was watching the night sky in the corridor. Brother Xi just came out to dry his clothes.
"Why don't you go in and watch TV?" he asked.
I asked him back: "Well, Brother Xi, what is training for training?"
He suddenly felt very excited, "There are a lot of training content, you will know tomorrow. The training is very exciting! I can guarantee that you will want to train for the first time after you have trained for the first time."
I smiled. Hopefully!
Looking at the night sky, my heart was very lingering...
Chapter completed!
