You must settle down before you can prosper in your career.
(Baonghean)
(Baonghean)Our ancestors had a saying, "settling down leads to prosperity," which meant to teach and advise people to maintain a peaceful and tranquil life, upholding their duties as citizens and human beings.
- People often say "settling down and establishing a career," what does that mean, Chắt?
- What meaning does Nhiêu want to understand?
- What does that mean?
Is it a simple meaning or a deeper one?
- What does simplicity mean?
- In the conventional sense, one needs a stable place to live and work in order to devote all their attention and energy to their business.
So, what does that mean in a deeper sense?
- Well, it's a bit more complicated. You have to think more broadly and deeply.
- Specifically…?
- When we say "settling down," it doesn't just mean having a stable place to live. The phrase "settling down" also means peace of mind and inner peace. Only when everything is stable like that can one find the motivation to work and build a career.
- Ah, I'm starting to understand now!
Our ancestors left this saying with the intention of teaching and advising people to maintain a peaceful and tranquil life, upholding their duties as citizens and human beings. Knowing what is right and wrong, knowing what should be done and what should be listened to. Not being swayed or incited to do things that go against conscience, morality, the law, and even one's own beliefs.
- It seems like Chắt is referring to the incident where parishioners were incited in the past few days?
- Well, she asked me to use that as a concrete, vivid example to make it easier to understand. Other people's problems, in other places, have already been handled and resolved peacefully by the State and the local authorities, so there's no reason to follow their advice and apply it to yourself, treating it as your own business, abandoning your home and work to gather and cause trouble in the streets... it's really unacceptable.
But people are being...
- No need for any more nagging, I know what she wants to say. In life, we must have our own opinions. Do what is good, and resolutely refuse to follow or do what is wrong or outrageous. Let others say whatever they want. Only then can we maintain peace of mind and tranquility in our lives. Because in life, there is no wrongdoing that doesn't have consequences. Living constantly worrying about what superiors say and tell you to do, and then being constantly afraid of being investigated by the authorities or being discovered as a troublemaker—how can that be called "settling down"? Without a stable home, how can you prosper? Remember, you must have a stable home to prosper.
