People in the world often think that destiny is as thick as the earth, and that the trajectory of life seems to have been engraved on the rock and can be relied upon. As everyone knows, destiny is not an indestructible entity, but a mirror hanging above the abyss. What we see is just the mirror image it reflects. It seems stable, but in fact it is like walking on thin ice, tied by a thin thread.
Wu De'an was born in the grassroots. With the tenacity of herbs and the wisdom nourished by ink, he rose from the dust. He seized the opportunity in the tide of the times, joined forces vertically and horizontally, and climbed up step by step. Every growth of his was accomplished by careful weighing of thoughts and careful planning of actions. He knows very well that the brilliance of the mirror needs to be wiped off constantly with a heart like walking on thin ice, and its foundation must be built with foresight and virtue. However, the market is treacherous, policies are unpredictable, and people's hearts are unpredictable. In this glitzy world, can he remain consistent?
Destiny is unpredictable and the mirror can turn over at any time. Although its changes are not unrelated to the opportunities of the times and environmental circumstances, in the final analysis, the power of change is really based on the heart. If the heart can be mindful, introspective, tolerant, and perseverant, its actions will be kind, cautious, diligent, and responsible, just like alum purifying water, making the mirror image gradually clear, bright, and stable. If the mind is partial, narrow-minded, restless, and indulgent, then the behavior will be out of standard, excessive, lazy, and violent. Just like pushing a mirror with a hidden hand, the scene will be overturned in an instant, and the blessings and misfortunes will be reversed.
Destiny is not a predetermined number, but a shadow projected by the mind. Everything in the mirror is created by oneself; the door to misfortune and fortune is only opened by oneself.
The ups and downs of everyone described in this book are all vivid reflections of this "mirror of destiny". I hope readers will look in the mirror and learn about themselves, understand their minds and nature, understand the plasticity of their destiny, and understand how to cultivate their own land of blessings.
