Can you sweep the world without sweeping a house?
This topic has a long history and seems to have been debated since primary school. No one can convince either of these two views. Actually, I think the reason is very simple. "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?" Rhetorical questions are used to strengthen the positive tone and are completely positive propositions. According to our mathematical knowledge, as long as we can cite special cases, we can prove that the proposition is false. Therefore, I can say for sure that you can sweep the world without sweeping a room. For example, no one in history has swept all over the world without sweeping a room, and it is everywhere.
Let's start with the old story.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a young man named Chen Fan who lived alone in a room, and the yard was filthy. Father's friend Qin Xue saw it and criticized, "Why don't obedient people sweep the floor to entertain guests?" He replied, "When a man is a man, he should clean up the world and settle down?" Qin Xue immediately criticized him: "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?"
Most people who see this allusion think that the critic said it well, so it has become a famous aphorism, which has been passed down through the ages. However, has anyone seen how ambitious our hero, the teenager, is in life? Napoleon once said, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." I want to say that people without lofty ideals are short-sighted. If a person's daily routine is to "sweep the house", then the so-called vigor and the so-called spirit that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers will be exhausted in the day-to-day dullness. It is the basis for our contemporary youth to realize their own values to "abandon the sparrow's small thoughts and admire lofty ideals" and see the trend of the times clearly.
Besides, can't you really sweep the world without sweeping a house? Don't!
During the summer vacation, I watched a program on Phoenix TV called "The Date between Lu and Yu". On July 12, I interviewed Yu Kun, the wife of the great mathematician Chen Jingrun. I gradually learned from her story that this mathematician, who has been living in legend for me, has struggled for the cause of mathematics all his life. Even when he was seriously ill, the peak of Goldbach's conjecture that fascinated him still strongly called him. And we mathematicians, usually at home, don't worry about cleaning the house at all. Chen Jingrun, who is seriously ill, is so hard and desperate. Only after listening to Yu Kun's story will you understand, and you will understand how respectable a person who really cares about the world, a person who only has the world in his heart, is even at the end of his life. He may not have paid attention to small things, but the pearl of the peak of mathematics can be witnessed. You can still cover the whole world without sweeping a house.
In fact, why should we ask everyone to start with the smallest things and then become the norm? People who have become great undertakings, do everyone haggle over every ounce If so, how can China's labor market be so prosperous? Why do some people hire hourly workers, nannies and craftsmen? How was the "Mountain City Bangbangjun" born? Imagine a manager, professor, leader or just an ordinary white-collar worker who takes time out of his busy schedule to wash clothes, cook, sweep the floor, clean windows, buy food and mop the floor ... Everyone knows what opportunity cost is and what social welfare is. I don't need to say more about this. Human behavior is rational. Therefore, it is correct for people who are really doing high-yield work for the society to choose not to sweep the house. Therefore, our labor market can be developed, and people who "sweep the world" can be liberated from "sweeping the house" and create more value for society. People have their own aspirations and abilities, and labor resources are scarce. How to distribute them reasonably and maximize efficiency is what we pursue, not everyone has the same growth and lifestyle. The so-called "good steel should be used on the blade", people with different abilities can sweep the world by doing different things, just show them. Why use a small house to restrain his growth? Our leader Chairman Mao asked the guards to give him some when he lit a cigarette. It can be said that he is not sweeping a house, but the world. He is not just sweeping the world, but leading our people to the world. Therefore, please believe that it is not a dream to sweep the world without sweeping a house!
There is no one who hasn't seen Zhang Yimou's film Hero. Although the content and form of this film have been mixed since its birth, flowers and rotten eggs are all from Qi Fei, but his theme is in Tony Leung Chiu Wai's The World. Maggie Cheung has no revenge, and Tony Leung Chiu Wai has no hatred. In modern terms, this is the spirit of giving up the small family to protect everyone. Put down a house and look around the world, everyone may still be a hero!
