What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

in #motivation7 years ago

When I first heard the news about “Dragon Ball Super” anime is ending this March, as a huge Dragon Ball fans, of course, I expect this news to be false. For an anime that accompany me for more than ten years, Dragon Ball taught me something, which is: “What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger.”

The Saiyans in “Dragon Ball,” after recovering from serious injury, their battle powers will increase significantly. In fact, as a normal person, shouldn’t we all like this? After suffering, become brave, eventually become a better person.

General Patton said: "To measure a person's success is not about how high he climbed, but the resilience of his downfall. The wounds we have are likely to leave scars on our skin, but they can become more resilient than elsewhere."

What is the opposite of fragile? Most of us will think is strong. But in Taleb's “Antifragile” book, defines there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile, and call it antifragile. If "fragile" means loss due to risk, then "antifragile" means that it gains from risk. We were vaccinated as a child, the weakened small doses of bacteria injected into our body, our body will produce antibodies, this is an example of "antifragile." So I think that suffering is the fuel of progress.

In 2017, a 42-year-old CEO of ZTE Research and development committed suicide. The reason is in one of the meetings, the members of the board expressed the idea to fired him and bought his shares at a low price.

In fact, this kind of thing may happen every day around the world. Some people live a more wonderful life, and some people are not.

"Poor" and "anxious" are probably the main reasons people complain about their lives. Anxiety is a mindset that arises from overestimating the importance of things. As for the poor, it depends on who you compared with, if you compared with a billionaire, I am afraid that you will always be poor. For the CEO to commit suicide, I think it's because of anxiety. He took work over-serious, in fact, you can find another job if you lost current one, but if you lose your life, you can't start over.

In “antifragile” also mentions that "excessive compensation" from stress and frustration actually has enormous power. For example, our tiredness from busyness can be eliminated by exercise. When you’re studying or working, there is a little noise or music in your ear can make you more concentrated and have higher work efficient.

I have given so many examples; in fact, I’m trying to show that the ordeal brought us, not all negative things. In the 14th century of Italy, literature was divided into two categories: tragedy elegant literature and comedy popular literature. This shows that there is no clear boundary between sadness and joy itself, and the so-called boundaries are actually human-made. That being the case, why shouldn't we think to suffer as "joy"?

It is impossible for a person to walk through his life without suffering, and an ordeal is an inevitable event. Even when playing games, if the number of winning consecutive matches is too high, the system might think that you are cheating and ban you from the game. As a part of the mortal world, the theory of natural selection also applies to us as humans. In poor living conditions, as long as we can withstand the blow, we can obtain the right to survive. The ultimate survivor is the best individual.

Although we do not have the ability of God, suffering can teach us how to digest grief, how to calmly face vicissitudes of life, in the long road, fearlessly moving forward.

I'm worried about how they beat jiren, the only logical way is for goku and vegeta to merge and appear vegeto blue with ultra instinct, if goku defeats him alone it would be bad and it would not make sense, but there is also the possibility that he will win jiren XD
