If you are not satisfied, you will always be happy. However, if you dare to work hard, forge ahead, and strive to be higher, faster and stronger, you will also be happy.

"contentment is always happy." I believe you must have heard many similar words in your daily life. It is true that you can feel comfortable and happy if you keep a normal mind and don't pursue fame and gain. However, can't the enterprising spirit of "dissatisfaction" make us feel happy?
I don't think so. Think back: in your daily life, when you concentrate on reciting a long classical Chinese, when you work out a complicated math problem after patient thinking, when you study hard and get better grades. ..................................................................................................................................
Some people say that contented people are spiritual wise men: Tao Yuanming lives in seclusion in Nanshan and enjoys the leisure of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely"; After Liu Yuxi was demoted, he lived in a humble room and still smelled of "tuning the piano and reading the Golden Classics", but please think about it: Are they really the so-called "contentment"? I'm afraid not. They also have pursuits. What they pursue is not fame and fortune in the world, but another level of spiritual satisfaction that ordinary people cannot understand. Please don't confuse "no progress" with "higher spiritual pursuit".
The famous "King of Invention" Edison invented many things that changed the world in his early years and made great achievements in scientific and technological innovation. But after that, he started the so-called "contentment", stopped pursuing a higher realm, and even said, "Don't give me any advice, because even the best advice is not as good as my mind." It is precisely because of this stubbornness caused by "contentment" that he refused to replace DC with AC in his later years, which became the biggest failure in his life. His deeds inspire us to be wary of "contentment" at some time, because that is probably another way of saying that we are not enterprising.
Gorky once said: "The higher a person pursues, the faster his talents develop and the more beneficial it is to society." Admittedly, contentment may be noble, but a pioneer who keeps forging ahead makes much greater contribution to society than a "wise man" who is content with contentment. If people begin to be "satisfied", then oil lamps will not be replaced by electric lights, manpower will not be replaced by machinery, and society will not progress.
Dissatisfaction is not that people are controlled by desire and become slaves to fame and fortune, but that they refuse to be comfortable and content with the status quo. Now everything is developing with each passing day, and the so-called "contentment" is difficult to stand on in such an environment.
People often say, "The contented are always happy." Self-satisfied people are always happy, but I think that in the process of continuous development of human society, only dissatisfied people will be happy forever.
If you want to live a happy material life, you must be "unsatisfied". Imagine if primitive people were so satisfied with life, they could only stay at the level of eating and drinking blood, slash and burn, and digging holes in the soil. What is joy? If people are satisfied with the status quo, oil lamps will not be replaced by electric lights, folding fans will not be replaced by electric fans, and cars will not replace animal power. If life is not improved, society will stagnate. Where does happiness come from? It can be seen that contented people are not very happy. On the contrary, it is this discontented spirit that has led to the development of civilization: from drilling wood for fire to exploiting oil to developing nuclear energy, from Newton's three laws to Einstein's theory of relativity, from Darwin's theory of evolution to today's genetic engineering. It is this unsatisfied spirit that promotes the development of productive forces, the progress of science and technology, the increasing accumulation of social wealth and the continuous leap of human civilization, which makes people happy.
In spiritual life, only people who are not satisfied can be happy forever. People's growing demand for spiritual food urges literary and art workers to create more, newer and better achievements and make our lives more and more colorful, so that we can be happy forever.
For the goal of life, people who are not satisfied enjoy it even more. Gorky said: "The higher a person pursues, the faster his talents will develop and the more beneficial it will be to society." An enterprising person is never satisfied with his work and study, so that he can make continuous progress, succeed and become a person who is beneficial to society. And these are not the basic conditions for a person to be truly happy? Edison, a famous inventor, with his insatiable spirit, studied more than 1000 inventions in his life and reached the peak of success. The joy of struggle and success ran through his life. More importantly, his achievements have also brought happiness and joy to the world.
The spirit of "dissatisfaction", an invisible motive force, promotes the progress of mankind, the development of civilization and society, and makes everyone who is dissatisfied really happy.
Of course, dissatisfied people are always happy, not unsure of success, nor insatiable for self-interest, but dissatisfied with existing achievements and the status quo. Everything is constantly changing and developing. If you are satisfied without development, you will be eliminated. Only those who are not satisfied will develop and progress, win forever and be happy forever.
If you are not satisfied, you will always be happy. The ancients said, "Those who are satisfied are always happy." But I don't think so. People who are not satisfied can often achieve happiness and success.
Dissatisfied people often have a self-motivated and ambitious heart, while those who are satisfied with a little success are often weak in self-motivated and will not get higher honor. When Liu Xiang won the title of 1 10 in the 2004 Olympic Games, he was not so satisfied, but practiced harder. Within two years, he once again broke the Olympic record with the score of12.91,won the first place in the World Championships and set a new record. It is Liu Xiang's insatiable heart that urges him to get good results in one game after another. Discontent is the joy of progress.
If the sea is satisfied and stops flowing into all rivers, it will dry up one day.
If an athlete is satisfied and stops training hard, he will be defeated immediately.
If human beings are satisfied and stop exploring scientific mysteries, productivity will not develop and space will not be developed. Where can the Chang 'e project start? Dissatisfied people will have the pleasure of exploring infinite mysteries.
In ancient times, there was a gifted scholar who became a county magistrate after the imperial examination, but he was ambitious. Because the power of the county magistrate is too small, it took several years to be promoted to the governor, but is this enough? No. Finally, at the age of 52, he was promoted to Prime Minister, realizing his lifelong dream. He was a famous prime minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He made many contributions to the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is precisely because of this insatiable character that he changed from a small county magistrate to a future governor and even a prime minister. If he was satisfied after becoming a county magistrate or governor, there would not be such an excellent prime minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Of course, not all dissatisfied people should praise them. In order to be dissatisfied with wealth and power, they should go all out to hurt others to satisfy their "big appetite". They should never learn from these people and be ashamed of them, because these dissatisfied people are selfish and disgusting people. Perhaps, I am often a contented person, and I am often complacent about some achievements in my study, and then my achievements will disappoint me. I've tried to think about it before, but I can't find the reason. Now I understand that this is all caused by excessive "contentment".
We should have a spirit of pursuing progress and never being satisfied, which can help us climb the peak of success and let us taste the fun that only insatiable people can taste. This is also a kind of power, a great power.
Dissatisfied, and often noisy. Grass grows in the corner. It is not satisfied with the shelter of the wall, but wants to grow up and absorb more sunlight; Flowers are in full bloom in the flower bed. They are not satisfied with people's uniform praise, but want to make the fragrance spread through the ages. Tan Chao, a Ph.D. student, delivered the courier during the day and piled up documents at night, and realized his value through constant exploration and struggle.
Therefore, I think that contentment can make people constantly discover their own shortcomings, and strive to realize their self-worth through continuous exploration and compensation.
Not knowing enough means not knowing enough.
At all times and in all countries, many outstanding works of literati have been handed down to this day. Most of their works have become masterpieces because of their "dissatisfaction" with their own works. After careful carving, deliberation and improvement, they have finally become masterpieces praised by people. Yan Fuqing, a calligrapher, writes well, but he is not satisfied with his own level, so he learns from the teacher and finds his own shortcomings. He practiced hard and became a great calligrapher. Han Yu's "scrutiny" and Wang Anshi's repeated scrutiny of the word "green" in boating in Guazhou are all due to the poet's dissatisfaction with "deficiency" and better understanding.
If you are not satisfied, you must make progress.
Looking back today, some people struggle for money all their lives, some people struggle for fame all their lives, and some people struggle for their own ideals. "Born in sorrow and died in happiness" also shows that people who are easy to satisfy are only content with the status quo; Dissatisfied people have upward motivation instead. Dong Qing is a well-known host who is active in public. In The Reader and China Poetry Conference, people also found a brilliant and intellectual Dong Qing, who has a poetic temperament. It is because of her dissatisfaction that she keeps learning, accumulating and making progress, thus achieving her intellectual beauty. Yes, how many people like them make unremitting efforts for their ideals? It is precisely because of this discontent that they have gained a steady stream of upward motivation.
If you are not satisfied, you will be happy for a long time.
Some people say, "contentment is always happy", but I think dissatisfaction is a kind of happiness. In my study and life, I often face every achievement with an insatiable attitude, so when my grades come down, I will always find shortcomings, correct them in time and set myself the goal of the next exam. Even if I make progress in the next exam, I will always tell myself, "It's not enough, keep working hard!" " So I always keep an upward attitude to meet every success. It is because of this insatiable motivation that I keep making progress in my study. Dissatisfaction makes me strive for perfection, so that I can always greet my success with a smile!
In this society of survival of the fittest, why don't you "not satisfied with happiness" with me?
There is a saying in China that contentment is always a pleasure. However, in order to truly achieve Changle, we must have the belief of climbing upwards and the spirit of never giving up.
Russian Queen Catherine II once said, "If I can live for 200 years, the whole of Europe will crawl at my feet." It is this insatiable desire that makes the Russian empire brilliant. In the Warring States period, the seven heroes fought in melee, and the warlords separated themselves. Qin really has the heart of "annexing the eight famine" and "sweeping the world", so that it can "obey the supreme and make Liuhe". Look at the other six countries, either find a place to sleep or send assassins to assassinate the king of Qin. But I don't know if one is strong and one is weak, Qin will eventually bring about its own destruction. Investigate its root cause, it should be that you have the ambition of Lingyun, and your heart is empty, so that you can become a career.
Song is the pride of the Han people. It has created economic prosperity and cultural prosperity. However, in order to maintain the stability of the foundation of the dynasty, he did not hesitate to waste human and financial resources, and won the pleasure of Liao and Yuan dynasties for a while. This led to the gradual decline of the national strength of the Song Dynasty, but it gave the enemy a lot of materials. This is like feeding meat to a hungry wolf. When you have no food for him, he will ruin you.
In the Qing Dynasty, the whole Chinese nation became rich and strong because of the efforts of Qianlong Kangxi. However, in their later generations, power was marginalized and the leadership of the country was controlled by Cixi. When the whole land of China was controlled by powerful ships and guns, she only thought of measuring China's material resources and national favor. Not thinking about rising, but suppressing all revolutionary forces. I only care about humble ethics, regardless of the whole devastated China. When I see that the strength of other countries far exceeds my own, I just look at others with a Q-shaped attitude.
However, there is also a saying in China that "water flows downwards, and man struggles upwards". Why do apes become people? Is with the constant exploration of this unknown world.
When you see his dull expression, bony body and him in a wheelchair, you may just glance at him casually and leave in a hurry. But he is Hawking, a great scientist and physicist who never gives in and struggles with fate. His paralyzed body did not make him depressed. He explored the whole universe with his agile brain and thought about the whole world with jumping thinking. He is not a giant, he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who is always positive.
Handsome sunny appearance, you may want to be close to him, but you will stop when you see his empty sleeves. He is the sweat that once shed, which can moisten the whole Sahara desert. He is Liu Wei. He once wanted to die quickly, but he chose to live a wonderful life. He worked hard to compose a grand piano piece.
Therefore, when life binds you like a chain, you should not be satisfied, break free from the chain and bloom to your heart's content.
