同事李姐的儿子初中毕业了,去了一所技术学校学习。我很不解,她家家境很好,完全不是念不起高中,大学的那种情况,为什么要去读技术学校呢?李姐跟我说,他不是特别爱学习,觉得念个技术学校学两年就毕业了,然后有个工作干就行了,我们要“知足常乐”。
我一听到这词,感到特别无奈。是的,我们经常说做人要知足常乐。人的欲望是无止境的,欲望太多太高,则永远得不到满足和快乐。人生路上,要学会顺其自然,知足常乐,才能获得较高的幸福指数。
我不知道孩子是否真的对读书没有兴趣,或许孩子还小,但是作为父母应该指导孩子告诉他读高中考大学还是读技术学校这是两种完全不同的道路。我并不否认读技术学校就一定没有出息,如果爱学习,家境不好,读两年下来马上工作能为家里减轻不少经济负担,等将来真有能力再考大学也是可以的。而这样的孩子我往往是比较倾佩的。
关键是她家并不差钱的,而且平时花费其他方面也很大。我觉得如果有条件就应该给孩子最好的教育。尽最大的努力,至于孩子的成长如何,取决于他自己。身为父母,我们不要有遗憾就好。现在是学习最佳的时期,如果现在不学习,长大后肯定要吃更多的苦。
而“知足常乐” 在道德经中老子告诉我们
只有拥有充足的知识和无比的智慧,把快乐建立在对事物通透的认识和理解上,看透事物发展的规律,明白无穷欲望带来的后果,及时终止自己的欲望而免遭损失和灾难,只有这样才会获得长久的平安富足和快乐(故知足不辱,知止不殆,可以长久)。
可见只有拥有足够的知识才能有长久的快乐。没有足够的知识和认知水平怎么可能知道什么时候该满足?怎么能够认清和对待名利的态度,生活中的一切以及世界观和价值观?
央视的主持人董卿,如果满足于在上海主持的那段闲适舒服的日子,那也不会有今天的她。马云当初如果只满足于翻译社,不搞阿里巴巴也不会有现在的他。所以我觉得无论是在学习还是工作上应该不断追求,不断进取。而不应该有知足常乐、知足知止的想法,这种想法会让人停滞不前,尤其是在快速发展的今天,不进则退。
而“无穷的欲望带来的后果”,我想就是换一个角度来说,我们在追求物质利益上,应该适度,不能贪得无厌,永无止境。有些人就是从贪小利开始,因为不能及时悔改,胆子越来越大,走上经济犯罪道路。虽然幸福的人生要有物质生活条件作为基础和保障,追求物质利益是正常的合理的要求, 但是追逐物质利益的同时,一定要有适度,更不要把自己沦为财富金钱的奴隶,毁坏了身体更是得不尝失。
随便写了一些,欢迎留言探讨。

小或者年少时就不要讲什么知足常乐。
比如由着小孩吃糖吃冰淇淋,不是虫牙就是拉肚子。

You raised an important question regarding acquisition of knowledge and contentment and growth. I think your eventual dream (aspiration of the soul ) is responsible for how content you are in your present situation. Obstacles slow down the movement. But the pursuit of that dream never stops. If your dream is to simply marry and earn a salary, then that is what you focus on. But if your "soul dream" is something beyond that, then you will go for that irrespective of your situations. Thought is an energy that translates into action :) ... Good post. And written in a nice and easy flow :)

過於知足常樂或會有一種不思進取的後果,反之則令人過分緊張,甚或無意中傷害了他人。只能說應該取中庸之道啦。

我看過不少孩子,私底下有自己追尋知識的管道,但是對於學校的教育始終提不起興趣。也許父母會覺得學歷對未來的發展有益,但是與其在學校混了幾年混個學歷,不如早些去發展自己有興趣的事。等到自己真心覺得有學歷是重要的事,想要再讀書,任何時候都不晚。父母只要確定小孩是認真思考過才決定自己的未來,剩下的就是尊重孩子的決定。畢竟孩子有獨立思考的能力,也是成為社會優秀中堅份子的重要條件。

我觉得这个世界上谁都想过得更好。谁都在奋进。
说是学如逆水行舟,不进则退。生活工作也是一样。
80年代大家生活条件都差不多,我家人就满足了。
后来人家都看上彩色电视了,我家还是黑白电视。
知足不能常乐!不知足努力奋斗,还不一定能常乐呢!
所以,人生应该进取!!!
当然,凡事是有个度。要在道德呀什么的允许的范围内进取,不能犯错误哈哈:)

再说了,helene不能太实在。她说也不能全信,她必然是有自己的想法。
比如她上的这个技术学校,正好和她能给儿子将来安排工作对口。工作以后,孩子自己再攻读一下本科、硕士都行。
现在除了统招高考,还有远程教育、成人高考、电大、自学考试这些形式可以攻读本科。
本科以后,还可以读在职研究生、工程硕士、同等学力等方式获得硕士学位。
所以,她说是知足,可能是有别的打算我们不知道。
找个别人帮他儿子替考什么的,都能读一个更高的学历,这事也不能让你知道呀对吧。

反正吧,无论家庭好坏。少时不努力,老大徒伤悲。
如果家庭条件不好,小时候没苦着,将来必受苦。
如果家里条件好,小时候没苦着,长大了,很难维持他小时候的生活水平。俗话说,由简入奢易,由奢入简难,那是另一种苦。
好,就算他长大了,他父母能让他维持他的生活水平 。他的孩子呢?他的孩子怎么办,也让他父母承担供养和教育的支出?
所以,人生还是别怕苦,不影响健康的情况下,苦点就苦点吧。

Hi @helene, it seems like the Chinese audience are talking about 中庸之道 (which Google translates to moderation but I think balance could be more appropriate) while the non-Chinese speaking audience simply enjoyed the photos. Was there meant to be a deeper connection between the two?
