The poet Ai Qing said that any success is just a station in the journey of life, it comes from the plain, and finally the plain.

Compared with the earth-shattering achievements of the great people, the ordinary things of ordinary people are very inconspicuous. However, after all, ordinary people are the subject of life, and they are also the subjects of life. As far as the vast majority of people are concerned, they will live their lives as ordinary people, with ordinary lives; As far as the vast majority of professions are concerned, they will always be just doing ordinary things, with a dull record. Therefore, there is no need for us to have contempt for ordinary life and ordinary life.

Since our life is ordinary and simple, we should live an ordinary life with a very cherished feeling. In this way, we will find that there is also a striking beauty dormant in the depths of the mundane: the bustling flow of bicycles, the shouting of groceries while carrying baskets, the symphony of pots and pans in the kitchen...... They are all beautiful movements worth savoring.

People who can't live a good life will not taste the happiness of life; If you don't cherish ordinary people, you won't create earth-shattering greatness, because ordinary people contain everything, nurture everything, and everything is contained in the ordinary. If you commute to work by bicycle every day, go home to the wet market for some shopping, and then cook a few delicious home-cooked dishes and enjoy family fun with your family and children. Rejoice, your ordinary life is full of great happiness! With this bland mentality, you will find happiness in a simple life, we don't have to stay up all night for a place abroad, and we don't have to sleep hard for a promotion.

A well-known foreign writer was asked what he missed most after losing his freedom for a year?

He replied with deep feeling: "What I miss is the ordinary life. Take a walk on the street, browse books in a bookstore, buy groceries at the grocery store, and go to the cinema to watch a movie...... What I miss is just these ordinary little things, when you have these things to do, you think that it doesn't matter at all, and when you can't do them, you know that they are the elements of life, real life. Canceling these things is the greatest deprivation. ”

This confession really can't be more simple than to explain the value of ordinary.

Life and life are beautiful, and this beauty lies dormant in the ordinary, which is most easily ignored by us. Perhaps one of our most frequent, easy-to-make, and most unforgivable mistakes is the unwarranted contempt and carelessness of the ordinary. It is astonishing how many people are so dismissive or even dismissive of the ordinary, even though they have spent almost their entire lives in the ordinary. When long-lost friends greet each other, everyone just says busy and cherishes each other, but it is too late to sit down and talk about friendship, exchange life insights, enter each other's hearts, and soothe the hearts squeezed by modern life.

If we want to be able to calm and calm in the face of the increasingly fierce materialistic desires and dazzling and bewildering worlds in today's society, you will put aside all the shackles of fame and neatness, take confident and heroic steps on the road of life, and let the soul return to its true state, so as to obtain the fullness, richness, freedom and purity of the soul!

We often think that if I had a lot of money, I would be happy; If I had a house, I would be happy; If I had ......

People have physical needs, so they can't do without material life. Although money can buy all material things and can enrich people's material life, people's spiritual life cannot be satisfied with money. Rather, a huge obstacle to happiness is our excessive desires. Happiness is not about what you have, but about how you feel about it. From a certain point of view, money can indeed bring people sensory happiness, but the satisfaction brought by money is temporary, and most of the time, it will still be very empty, and those who look down on money and live a plain life feel very rich.

Everyone wants to live happily, but some people still feel dissatisfied even if they are already living in happiness, and it is obvious that they do not know the blessings in the midst of happiness. If people fall into infinite cravings and are restrained by material desires, they will fall into an embarrassing state of unbalanced psychological life.

A man went to a friend's house.

When the master left him to eat, he felt that the food had no taste, so the master added some salt to the dish, and he felt that it was very delicious. After eating, the man was still reminiscing about what had just happened. He thought to himself, "The taste of the food comes from the salt, and a small amount of salt is already so delicious, and if you eat so much salt, it must taste extraordinarily wonderful." ”

Thinking so, he asked his master for a large cup of salt, and swallowed it in his mouth, but it was so bitter that he hurriedly spit it out of his mouth.

He was puzzled by this, not thinking that it was too much salt per se, but thinking that he was eating it in the wrong way, and blaming his master for not telling him the right way to eat it.

The same is true of people's demand for material wealth, a moderate amount of wealth is like salt for seasoning, which can allow us to taste the ease and beauty of life, so that the body is comfortable and the mind is relaxed. However, once the extravagance of wealth is excessive, the original meaning of the pursuit of wealth will be lost, and life will become miserable.

The more one pursues, the more tired the heart becomes; The more a person has, the heavier the burden, the stronger the fear of loss, and the more complicated life becomes. Wealth is gained, career is gained, fame is gained, ease and freedom are lost, and happiness is lost. We don't have a normal life, and we don't have the joy of an ordinary life.

Alexander, the Macedonian kingdom of ancient Greece, once visited the great philosopher Theogenis, on the one hand, to express his admiration, and on the other hand, to hear a few words of wisdom.

They talked for a long time, and at the end of the conversation, Theogenis asked Alexander what his life plan was.

Alexander said: "Plan to conquer all of Greece (a great goal)!" ”

Theogenis continued: "What will happen after the conquest of Greece?" ”

Alexander said: "Further conquest of Asia Minor is planned. ”

"And after that?"

"To conquer the whole world."

Diogenis continued to ask, "What will happen after the conquest of the world?" ”

Alexander told the philosopher that after all this was done, he intended to relax and enjoy life.

Dio Ginnis smiled and replied, "Why don't you save all your troubles and relax yourself now and enjoy life?" ”

Oh, yes! Pursuit is only the means of life, life is the purpose of life, and it is really in vain to regard pursuit as the goal and forget how to live a good life. Think about it, when a person has created great achievements and earned a fortune that can not be spent for several lifetimes, but has never been able to sit down and eat a meal in peace, then all achievements have become ridiculous?

People with a peaceful mentality can look at life correctly, and will not give up the moral code of life for the temptation of power, status, and money, and their state of mind is calm and plain. People with a peaceful mind can always maintain a leisurely, tranquil and healthy body and mind.

Any success is just a station in the journey of life, it comes from the plain, the end of the plain, the creation of a social pattern of course requires the creation of many ambitious people, but a person to be able to enjoy happiness, the most important thing is to establish and cultivate a peaceful state of mind.

Although we aspire to success and to have a beautiful trajectory in our lifetime, what we need is a happy life, a real life. This kind of life, without the kind of vigorous, revealing the mysteries of heaven and earth, and saving the people from fire and water, is just a plain pursuit, but this is enough!

You are ordinary, ordinary as a grass; You are ordinary, ordinary and ordinary like a flower, but you can also be proud, and the flowers that bloom silently will also be fragrant and pleasant! Perhaps, you don't have brilliant achievements to show off, you don't have a lot of money to squander, but you have indifference, this is the rare happiness you seek in life.
