Section 1 Live your unique style
There is a little story about a king who saw a beggar lying on the road, and the king hid his mind and asked the beggar, "Do you need my help?" The ragged and unkempt beggar looked at the king and said, "No, stand aside, and don't block my rays." ”
A self-respecting person will always live his own life, even if he is a beggar.
Every person is alive with a song and a poem, but not everyone can realize that this requires us to affirm ourselves and complete the creation of a song and a poem in self-affirmation. Everyone has their own strengths, and affirming their own strengths is a kind of self-confidence.
My friend Renbing and my cousin Changhui and I went to a friend's house to play.
My friend's house was out of the woods, because the mountain road was rugged, and the road was full of mud and puddles, and the taxi had just repaired the cement section and left us off. We had to rent motorbikes and keep going.
The road ahead was potholes, narrow and dangerous, and although the motorcycle driver was quite skilled, I still had a feeling of fear sitting in the back.
After sitting bumpily for more than ten minutes, I finally arrived. That's when we began to pay attention to the scenery around us. It is surrounded by mountains, babbling streams, clear water, and sweet wind. Behind his house, there is a bright and bright river. Tasting the mountains and waters of Tieshi Village, we feel like we are in a fairyland on earth.
When I left, I thought with regret that everything here is good, but the economy is underdeveloped, and it is very inconvenient to enter and exit the mountain. At the same time, I also think about Changsha, Beijing and other big cities where I have lived for many years. In those places, there are wide and flat long streets, bright street lamps as bright as day, sparkling neon lights, a dazzling array of shopping malls and supermarkets, the economy is very prosperous, and the transportation is also very convenient, but they can't breathe fresh and pure air, nor can they drink the clear and sweet spring water, and the crowding and hustle and bustle of the city make people upset. Because of this, people in the countryside dream day and night of getting out of the mountains and going into the distance; However, the people in the city are always eager to return to the mountains and forests, and return to nature.
Life is really fair. If you are given this, you will not be given it, and if you are given it, it will not be given to you, in short, there is no such thing as perfection. Don't always worry about life. Don't always think that life has failed you, in fact, you have as much as everyone else.
Wang Lan is an employee of a large company, and she used to talk about things in the teahouse after work, or be happy with friends in the bar. In these interactions, she did get some opportunities, but after tossing for a few years, she found that these things consumed her time and energy very much, and she was worried that she would be left out in the cold, so she looked at herself in the mirror, and found that she was less than thirty years old and had a few overworked crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, and she was so inferior that she didn't dare to show up.
Later, she finally realized that why care about other people's opinions, and live the way she likes after work every day. That is, after work, come home alone, take a comfortable hot shower, and then sit on the couch, listen to music and read magazines. She understands that after work, she needs a place where she can relax naturally, and she understands that appreciating and affirming herself can make her mentality younger.
You don't have to envy that someone else may have much more wealth than you do, maybe you are having much more health than him. Others may have a much higher position than you, and there is no need to envy them, maybe you are having much more happiness than him. When others harvest love, maybe you are still alone, enjoying the torment of loneliness, you don't have to envy, look at yourself, is there more hope for career success than him? When others are going to glory, maybe you are still unknown and living an ordinary life, and you don't have to envy yourself, is it more leisurely than him, and the calmness of life?
On the surface, self-affirmation does not require the courage to face oneself, isn't self-affirmation just praising oneself, selling oneself, and discovering one's own strengths? Actually, this is only one aspect, and it is a shallow aspect; On the other hand, self-affirmation means being able to start from yourself, discover your own reason for existence, and ultimately realize your self-worth without being influenced by the values imposed on you by the environment. The realization of self-worth is the affirmation of oneself, the degree of self-acceptance and liking, and people must like themselves.
Of course, self-affirmation is not self-esteem, nor is it the pursuit of giving up self, but the realization of self-worth; Self-affirmation is not about putting gold on yourself, but about improving your life and living your true self through exercise and pursuit.
In the eyes of others, this little boy nicknamed Spachi should have had a very sad time at school.
When he was in elementary school, he often had a red light on in his homework. In middle school, he usually scored zero in physics, and he didn't do well in Latin, algebra and English, and sports didn't give him any comfort. Although he was on the school's golf team, he lost badly in the only major tournament of the season. Even in the consolation match that followed for the losers, he performed extremely poorly.
Throughout his formative years, he was not good at words, and he was never seen in social situations. That's not to say that everyone else doesn't like him or hates him. The truth is that in the eyes of others, he does not exist at all. If one of his classmates took the initiative to greet him outside the school, he would be surprised and moved.
After graduating from high school, Spache wrote a cover letter to the Disney Company recommending himself. The Disney Company asked him to send his comics to see, and at the same time set the theme of the comics. So, Spach began to fight for his future. He put a lot of energy and time into completing many cartoons with meticulous attitude. However, after the comics were sent, they were lost, and in the end, the Disney Company did not hire him.
Life for Spache is a dark night. When he was desperate, he tried to paint his own mundane life experience. He uses the special language of comics to tell about his gloomy childhood, his uncompetitive teenage years, a failing student with poor academics, a so-called artist who has been repeatedly rejected, and a failure that no one notices. His paintings are also full of his persistent pursuit of painting and his real experience of life over the years.
Spaci himself could not have imagined that the comic book characters he created would become an instant hit and quickly become popular all over the world. And this little boy nicknamed Spache was the famous cartoonist of the future - Charles Schultz. Spache had experienced the most critical tests in work and life, and despite the tense situation at the time, he relied on his bravery and perseverance to survive and achieve the highest value of life, which is also an affirmation of self-worth.
Everyone thinks that Spache is indeed an incorrigible loser. Everyone who knew him was convinced, and he himself knew it, but he didn't seem to care much about his performance. Growing up, he only cared about one thing, and that was painting. He has always believed that he has a talent for painting like no other, and he is very proud of his work. However, his graffiti works have never been seen by anyone other than himself. Despite being rejected many times, Spach never lost faith in his drawing talents, and he aspired to become a professional cartoonist.
If you're not very smart, you probably have dexterous hands or a very good imagination. In short, no one is perfect, God treats everyone fairly, and the key is how you go about discovering your beauty. Maybe you'll have less pearls, but you'll have diamonds; You can give up on anyone, but you can never give up digging into yourself. Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, who do you expect to make the Night Pearl shine in the daytime?
Learn to appreciate yourself and believe that you are the most special one. Don't look at others with your eyes to see any beautiful place, and be so dull to yourself that you ignore all the advantages. Be a little more tolerant of yourself, be generous, and always believe that a little more patience will unleash your infinite charm.
In life, if others don't value you, you must value yourself; If others don't care about you, you must care about yourself. You value yourself, you care about yourself, and in the end, others will value and care about you.
