The higher and farther you soar, the lonelier you will be. Those who conquer the world are in solitude. So, don’t be afraid of loneliness. Enjoying solitude empowers you to conquer the world.
Enjoying Solitude Empowers You to Conquer the World
If we want to fulfill our dream of living a remarkable life, we have to endure solitude.
Some parents have written to me: “I think my child has depression. He is lonely, likes to read, but doesn’t have friends. He isn’t sociable.” One parent told me, “My child talks to people twice his age.” I was like that when I was young. That isn’t depression; that is great self-confidence. Do you understand?
Being solitary yet having great charisma. Such people are often great achievers. He has a different mindset from his peers. His future, fate, inner energy, goals and values are different. The fun and games of typical kids mean nothing to him. He doesn’t enjoy those things at all. So, why does he like talking with elders? The elders are rich in experiences. He gets their knowledge when talking with them. This is wise behavior. He is not lonely.
In the future, he will become a unique and great individual. He will live a remarkable life. This kind of child tends to be very successful. Hence, don’t be afraid of solitude. Enjoying solitude brings the ability to conquer the world. A child who entertains and brings fun to others only ends up entertaining others in his life. They won’t become great achievers because their energy focuses on others’ emotions and feelings.
Hence, emperors of Ancient China called themselves “solitary beings.” What is the meaning of “solitary being”? He is highest in martial-arts skills, so he has no rival; he feels lonely. In Jin Yong’s novel, there is a fictional character named “Dugu Qiubai.” He wants to experience failure but has no chance. He can break common martial-arts masters’ arms easily. Nobody can compete with him; thus he’s lonely. This is a superior state.
The point isn’t using weapons to hurt others. Your ambition can bring you loneliness. This is normal. I have a question for you. In the world of birds, are there more sparrows or eagles? (Sparrows.) Right. As a Chinese saying goes, “How can a sparrow understand the will of a swan?” A sparrow has tiny wings and body. Is it able to soar high? You may recall this. The sparrows near your house can’t leave the trees or the roof. They can’t fly higher than 50 meters above the ground.
What about eagles? They would feel bored if they flew lower than 50 meters. To them, it is shortsighted. Eagles must fly higher than 50 meters above ground; They can disdain the pack and see things thousands of miles away. Yes, given their different viewpoint, a sparrow can’t understand an eagle. The eagle’s vision is far and wide. The higher you fly, the lonelier you get. Lonely people own the world. You have to understand this theory. Don’t be afraid of solitude. Be able to survive, learn, cultivate and succeed in solitude. Amaze the world with a single brilliant feat; only then are you a born warrior.
On a vast grassy field in my hometown, I observed: When the eagle soaring in the sky let out a call, the hen on the ground might die instantly from shock. It died instantly from cardiac arrest. The rooster beside it might lose its mobility. It was frightened to death.
A great achiever can endure solitude, gradually cultivate himself, and silently sharpen his wits and skills.
