The pattern is bigger and the world is wide.

After a long period of silence, a few days ago, I finally saw 15 new traditional Chinese paintings by my friend Peng Kaitian on Wechat. This is a documentary painting created by him after traveling to many countries in Europe, Africa and Austria. It artistically reproduces the different customs, regional culture and beautiful scenery of different countries. The content, form and means of expression of the picture give people a brand-new artistic feeling.

Anyone who knows him knows that he is a rare painter in Chinese painting who is good at painting animals, especially tigers. However, in these pictures, it is mainly to draw people and scenery, and the figures, scenery and other vivid and accurate shape, ink, vivid and vivid, we can see a lot of work. I have mixed feelings after seeing it: traveling abroad is mostly for relaxing the mood, enjoying exotic customs, tasting delicious food all over the world, and learning about human history. However, he has to go out early and come back late, sketch styles and collect materials in order to create when he gets home. Dozens of his impromptu sketches have been seen as early as a month ago. The picture is full of passion and inspiration!

When he returned to Nanchang, he immediately worked non-stop, worked hard day and night, digested and sorted out the material, and entered a painstaking second creation. Unexpectedly, the masterpiece was soon conceived and published. Not easy! I immediately liked and left a message: extraordinary life experience, the achievement of the great pattern of Kaitian art! The experience package contains his growth process, family talent, knowledge cultivation and painstaking cultivation. The big pattern refers to his insatiability, constantly challenging himself, constantly looking for options to expand new commanding heights and bold breakthroughs, exploration and innovation.

If you want to say that he is so painstaking is a picture name, no, as early as 2010, he was invited by the CCTV calligraphy and painting program to give a demonstration lecture on traditional Chinese painting and became a domestic art leader; his work was exhibited at the Louvre in Paris and became one of the few Chinese painters who can appear in the world's top art hall; if you want to say that he is Tuli, no, his works are expensive, he can paint behind closed doors and have no shortage of money. Why bother to go all the way to the Kenyan primeval forest in East Africa to sleep in the open air, take risks to find wild animals, and learn about their habits and conditions? after being a famous family and a master of traditional Chinese painting, he has a mansion and mansion, is in his late seventies and suffers from a variety of diseases. Why not stay at home, every three or five, shoulder clip, over the mountains, go to the countryside to describe the nature. So for what purpose makes him so persistent and obsessed with art! Is the mission and responsibility, is the heart of the planned big pattern, although bitter but very happy!

What is the pattern, pattern refers to a person's vision, broad-mindedness, courage, bearing and other psychological elements of the internal layout! For the game of chess in life, the first thing we have to learn is not the skill, but the layout. The big pattern determines the direction of the development of things, and if you control the big pattern, you will also control the situation. Zhuge Liang has a famous saying: ambition should be high, which means that people should have lofty aspirations. This shows that determination is of great significance to life! Setting up lofty ambitions, having a broad mind, having a vision of innovation, cultivating a good mentality, and defining the goals of life are all the great patterns of life planning. There must be a good pattern in life. To have a happy ending.

Only when the pattern of a person is big, can the road be broad in the future! The pattern is not congenital, and it is not necessarily related to your current life environment. Pattern is a person's positioning of their own life coordinates. As long as we can adjust our mentality, we will certainly be able to establish a big pattern for ourselves. Knowledge and skills are internal forces, appropriate platforms and rich contacts are wings, if you can make full use of all these resources to make your day on a rising ladder, then, the future pattern and great development will be more than just a dream.

It doesn't matter if your IQ is not high, and it's not a problem if you don't have a high EQ, but the pattern of being a person must be big (Lu Qi). Zeng Guofan, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, said: the most important thing is the pattern of those who do great things. In dealing with the world, the most taboo is to fear and shrink, there is no big pattern in the chest, step by step, the eyes can not exceed the pace, it is difficult to achieve after all. Only by standing higher and seeing farther can we be bigger.

People's energy is limited, and if they focus too much on trifles, they are doomed to ignore business. And those people with small patterns are often perplexed by the trivialities of life, often complain because of the unsatisfactory life, are at a loss because of a small setback, and often fail to see Mount Tai when looking at the problem. inevitably, the road of life is getting narrower and narrower, trapped in the environment of the cauldron can not get out, become mediocre people.

Some people may say, I also want to do great things, but suffer from the lack of conditions and opportunities. A wise man said well: the strong create opportunities, the capable seize opportunities, and the weak wait for opportunities! Thinking determines the way out, strategy determines the future, attitude determines height, and execution determines success or failure. A number of CCTV literary and art programs, such as "starting for Happiness", "more and more brave in the war", and "Avenue of Stars", not only provide the grassroots people with opportunities to show their personal talents, but also realize the good things and dreams of many contestants. Make them stars. Among them are big coat elder brother, straw hat sister, tofu aunt, broom sister-in-law and so on, among them are farmers, self-employed, sanitation workers, housewives and so on. Although they come from different parts of the country and are at the bottom of society, they have common characteristics: they do not bow to fate, are good at discovering their own strengths, develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, are open-minded and eager to learn, and are curious and curious. Self-confidence and courage to challenge themselves, perseverance, perseverance.

Mount Tai does not refuse fine soil, so it can become its high; rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so it can become its depth. People who have a big pattern in mind will not improperly belittle themselves because of the disadvantages of the environment, nor will they give up because of their lack of ability. they have something that normal people cannot have in terms of momentum, character, and belief. They can look at life, work and the future with a developmental, overall and strategic perspective, and believe that they will be able to achieve success through their own efforts.
