I was recommended by various people some time ago, so I asked many people. Have you seen it? Unexpected agreement: I have seen it many times, and it is very beautiful.
So, I finally decided to read it. The novel is very short, and the movie is in a hurry. To tell the truth, it may be that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. After reading it again and again, I feel nothing.
I don't know what it saved. After reading some book reviews, I gradually understood where the so-called redemption is. Then, I asked myself, how can I achieve redemption? What did Andy tell us?
Here are three conclusions I have drawn to share with you:
1 has a position to know who he is.
Who am I? This is a question that many people will ask, and everyone who wants to live a good life may encounter this problem.
Aside from the philosophical level, this reflects a person's self-awareness and pursuit of self-worth.
In our daily work and life, we need to find ourselves, so as not to get lost easily; When things change in our work and life, we need to know who we are more and more, so that we can make up our minds to Do not forget your initiative mind.
Andy, the senior manager of the bank, is young, rich and beautiful, but his family is ruined and he is in prison.
The Shawshank Redemption is a nightmare for many prisoners. Once you enter The Shawshank Redemption, your life is over.
Facing the reality, Andy was not defeated. He dresses neatly every day, and as before he went to prison, he has requirements for himself and a pursuit of life. Even though they were harassed by the "three sisters", they still stood up and never gave in.
He knows that he has been wronged and that he can't go along with others under such circumstances. He is a valuable person, and he is the one who will be free in the end. Shawshank can't imprison him.
In Andy, we see the spirit of independence that is incompatible with prison life.
When all people are flattened by reality and become birds without wings, only he keeps a free mind and always has a strong yearning for freedom.
It is because of this firmness that he has a clear understanding of himself, who he is, who he used to be, where he is now and who he will be in the future. In the end, he succeeded, lived in prison and redeemed himself through hard work.
"Take a stand and know who you are" is the first step for a person to realize self-salvation. No matter how the world changes, I have my own mind, I can find the right position, I can stand loneliness, and I always grow towards the sun.
Of course, when Andy first entered the prison, it was inevitable that he was a little uncomfortable, but after a period of time, he began to redeem himself, which was rooted in his firm heart and clear goals.
Nine times out of ten, life is unhappy. Don't worry, stand in the tunnel of time and space, stop, take a look at your position, find the way forward, and then resolutely continue to work hard.
2 endurance and execution.
If the goal is the direction, then execution is the necessary and sufficient condition to achieve the goal.
Andy's ideal is full, but it is even more difficult to regain his freedom in such a dark place.
But he didn't lose heart and was consistent. From winning three cans of beer for each prisoner for the first time, to improving the library to help many people get their diplomas, and then quietly digging a way to escape in more than ten years, the excavated soil is transported through his trouser legs every day by taking the opportunity of going to the playground for outdoor exercise, so you can imagine the arduousness of this project.
It is this day-to-day effort that has achieved his final salvation, not only saving himself, but also saving many people who are in the same boat.
"Endurance and execution" is the second step for a person to realize self-salvation. Water drops can wear away stones, iron pestles can be ground into needles, and persistence will lead to results.
In the workplace, many people are smart and smart, and many people are eloquent, but the real final winner must be someone who has strong execution and can do things.
Xu Sanduo in Soldier Assault is not clever, and a little stubborn, but that's all. He set a record of 333 consecutive belly wrestling in unremitting training, and became popular all the way and became the final winner.
Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump, they are all very ordinary, ordinary to be said to be a little silly, but they finally proved themselves and harvested the fruits of victory.
In this world, everyone has many ideals and goals, but few of them are really realized. Generally speaking, people who can be consistent, persistent and persistent in various environments have achieved it.
It is not a pie in the sky, nor is it great luck, but tears and sweat in many unknown places. As long as you don't give up, you will never be given up.
Have a kind heart and full of hope.
With a goal, I have been working hard. Will everything really come true?
Of course not. The reality is that where there is a will, there is a way.
Andy was wrongly sentenced to prison, and finally someone told the truth, but at this time Andy, as a warden, has washed his hands of his black money. How can he be spared?
After all hopes were dashed, he had no choice but to run away. Before running away, Andy warns Rhett to keep hope.
How powerful the word "hope" is, how easy it is to say, but how difficult it is to hold it when the reality is not ideal.
However, the fact is that the harder it is to hold on to hope, the harder it is to have ideals. Even if you cross the river by feeling the stones, you must persevere.
Because of his persistence in the dark, Andy realized self-redemption; Because of the spark on the road ahead, Rhett was saved, too.
Although hard work may not see immediate results, although there will be many setbacks on the way to struggle, as long as you have a kind heart and hope in your heart, you can wait until the day when you are suddenly enlightened and clear the clouds.
"Goodwill and hope" is the third step for a person to realize self-salvation. It is a magic weapon to overcome everything, and the place where the heart depends is light.
I have talked with my good friends many times, but life goes on day after day. We can't see hope, but we encourage each other, keep our expectations in our hearts, and move on regardless of the road ahead.
We don't know where we will go or what will happen in the dark. We just believe that everything will gradually become clear. As long as it is done today, tomorrow will not be too bad.
Over the years, along the way, we have been given a lot. In retrospect, we are very grateful, grateful for those who never gave up, grateful for those efforts and gains. We are blessed. We really understand that no matter how things develop, we should never forget our initial intentions. There is always hope. If we persist, there will be sunny days.
four
The above is my experience, the trilogy of self-salvation: find your own position, make persistent efforts and have hope.
I always believe that as long as you don't give up on yourself, you will never be given up.
There will be many setbacks and disappointments on the way to struggle, which are not terrible. The terrible thing is that we have lost hope. As long as we have expectations in our hearts, there will be hope. Hope is like a spark, which will eventually lead us to a perfect holy land.
