Quote from George Herbert, poet.

2024/1/10 Edited to

... Read moreถ้าคุณกำลังหา “ข้อความสร้างแรงบันดาลใจ” แบบอ่านสั้นๆ แต่สะกิดใจได้จริง ฉันขอยกให้ประโยคนี้เลย: “พายุทำให้ต้นโอ๊กมีรากลึกขึ้น” (Storms make the oak grow deeper roots.) ของ George Herbert ครั้งแรกที่อ่าน ฉันตีความแบบตรงๆ ว่าเวลาชีวิตเจอพายุ—งานพัง ความสัมพันธ์สะดุด สุขภาพไม่ดี หรืออะไรก็ตามที่ทำให้รู้สึกหมดแรง—มันอาจไม่ได้มาเพื่อทำลายเราอย่างเดียว แต่มาเพื่อ “บังคับ” ให้เราหยั่งรากลึกขึ้น เช่น เก่งขึ้น อดทนขึ้น รู้จักตัวเองมากขึ้น และเลือกสิ่งสำคัญได้ชัดขึ้น ฉันลองใช้ประโยคนี้เป็นเหมือนคาถาสั้นๆ เวลาใจเริ่มแกว่ง โดยทำ 3 อย่างง่ายๆ: 1) ถามตัวเองว่า “พายุรอบนี้กำลังสอนอะไร” เช่น สอนให้วางแผนการเงิน สอนให้ตั้งขอบเขต หรือสอนให้พักผ่อนให้พอ 2) เลือก “ราก” ที่อยากหยั่งลึก 1 เรื่อง เช่น วินัย การอ่านหนังสือ การออกกำลังกาย หรือทักษะการทำงาน แล้วทำให้ได้วันละนิด 3) จด 1 บรรทัดก่อนนอนว่า วันนี้เราอดทนกับอะไรได้บ้าง หรือผ่านอะไรมาได้บ้าง (ทำต่อเนื่องแล้วเห็นพัฒนาการชัดมาก) สิ่งที่ฉันชอบคือภาพเปรียบเทียบ “ต้นโอ๊ก” มันไม่โตเร็ว แต่โตมั่นคง พายุทำให้มันต้องยึดเกาะกับดินให้แน่นกว่าเดิม พอเอามาใช้กับชีวิต เราไม่จำเป็นต้องรีบเก่งหรือรีบสำเร็จในทันที แค่ค่อยๆ สร้างฐานให้แน่น แล้ววันหนึ่งเราจะขอบคุณพายุที่เคยผ่านเข้ามา ถ้าตอนนี้คุณกำลังเหนื่อย ลองหยิบประโยคนี้ไปแปะไว้หน้าจอหรือโน้ตในมือถือก็ได้ สำหรับฉัน มันเป็น “Quotes of the day” ที่อ่านซ้ำได้เรื่อยๆ และช่วยให้กลับมายืนได้ตรงขึ้นทุกครั้ง

​"It was a pig walking on his hind legs." When I read this, chills everywhere. The book itself is great and makes you reflect and compare it to the real world but this quote showed us how we are our own enemy, becoming the thing we once fought against, so deep. I used BeFreed to read
