Consistent is when you know your destination, whether rain or sun, whether you have to take a detour, you still keep the goal. Like the batch he went to climb with a group of friends, the destination was Ta Xua peak. In the middle of the road, it rained forest, the erosion, the friends changed to the supporting road safer, and he decided to climb because he chose this line, he had to follow to the end. Results: The whole group arrived on a new road, sitting on grilled meat, he was carried down by the rescue team because of slipping and ... sprain!
He is a typical example of conservatives: Reluctant to change even though the reality is different. He was not wrong because he wanted to finish, but thought there was only one way to get there. While steadfast in keeping the goal of reaching the top of the mountain, if you need to follow another, safer route, it is still a wise choice.
Or like his uncle in the countryside. At the beginning of the year, we must plant the right old rice, old fertilizer, old irrigation method, even if everyone switches to new, high-yielding varieties. He said: "I'm used to it, why change it!". Then he sat drinking tea, sadly watching his neighbor's fields harvest three harvests a year, three times his own.
Therefore, steadfastness is necessary - but it is necessary to keep the core, while the method should be flexible. No one forces you to run in leather shoes to the mountain, just because "in the past, our ancestors did not have sneakers". Times change, tools change, thinking also needs to change. Otherwise, you will become a resilient person... stubborn, in the eyes of others.
The difference lies in one word: Open. Resolutely open your heart to the goal, conservative is to close your mind to reality. Some are steadfast and know how to take a step back to jump three steps; others are conservative and stand still and blame life for being sideways.
And finally, if there is a philosophy that survives in the changing era like TikTok feed (for you), it is: Keep your spirit strong, but remember to change your shoes when climbing mountains!
