Inspirational double-edged sword

I took the time to watch "The Greatest Game Ever Played", which I haven't watched for a long time. After watching three shots, I knew it was an authentic orthodox inspirational film. educate. But after watching it, I thought about it, in fact, the so-called inspirational films are quite dangerous.

The inspirational film promotes a challenging spirit of "the princes and generals are kind to each other", and encourages people to work hard for rewards. And success as long as you work hard is also the essence of the American dream. China has been advocating this since ancient times, as far away as the establishment of the imperial examinations, and as close as the mission of the "New Oriental". However, there is always a gap between ideals and reality, and there is indeed such a thing as "a prince and general", which often repeats itself in real society. What's more, the formula for success is never just about hard work. The manpower emphasised by inspiration can easily lead people to the wrong path of victory over the heavens, and it is more likely that collectives such as "50 less jinshi" will lead to a dead end.


As a result, I am very worried about the influence of inspirational publications and TV programs that exaggerate "entrepreneurship" and "success" in the world. Those who create the so-called "guide beacon" have not told people that the road is very narrow, and there are still Many invisible walls do not tell people that there are many other alleys, ponds, and grasslands that can reach the other side of happiness. Hopefully, there will not be too many people who are dazzled by the so-called "successful learning" and hit the south wall that is not in line with their own reality. It's just a wall for tanks to hit.
