Chapter 72: Slow down your life

It has been said that you only live once. If you live a wonderful life, it is enough to live once. Make every day wonderful; Enjoy life, real life...... On the walls on both sides of the hall of Suzhou Science and Culture Center, there is a huge piece of this prose poem, which is very large and eye-catching, and every time I go, I will be deeply attracted by it, and I can't help but look back again and again......

In fact, sometimes people will fall down, take this opportunity to look back, look at the road they have walked, do not need to rush forward, maybe after you figure it out, you will find that maybe the things in front of you are not so important at all, we already have what should be. Just as a snail envy a horse for having four long legs that run fast, a horse envy a bird for having a pair of wings that can fly freely, a bird envy a lion for having a bloody mouth that can tear everything apart, and a lion envy a snail that lives quite moist without eating or drinking. Envy is futile, and the most important thing is to live your life well. Don't forget, the hard work, awards and even success of Meilu's career are not the whole of life. Cherish what you have, so that you can enjoy the ordinary and real happiness! In fact, life is a small business that does not need to be big, as long as it is enough.

I remember the famous words of Paul Kochagin, the protagonist of the novel "How Steel is Made" by the Soviet writer Ostrovsky: "The most precious thing of man is life, and life belongs to us only once." A person's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his past inaction. Thus, at the time of his death, he could say: 'My whole life and energy have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world — the struggle for the freedom and liberation of mankind.' I was deeply impressed by this passage, so to paraphrase his words, a person's success is: when he looks back, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his past inaction, he works hard, pursues, and pays for what he loves, and it is not very important whether he can achieve his goals, he can tell himself at the end of his life: "In this life, I have no regrets, it is worth it!" ”

Success is not only to achieve the goal, but also not only to achieve a high balance between material and spirituality, just like Yang Lan said: success is to achieve inner peace after hard work and hard work! I think that's my ultimate definition of success. Today, success has been misinterpreted into a rather vulgar situation by direct pyramid schemes, so don't let such "success" be. You have to listen to your inner voice and look for what will really make you happy.

We are all ordinary people, and the meaning of ordinary people is: the probability of this thing happening is very small. Therefore, we will not buy a lottery ticket and win 5 million, we will not become the richest man in the world, we will not fall off a plane, few of us will succeed in starting a business, and most of us will live past the age of 65...... And to make those who are already desperate mistakenly think that they have found the light of hope, and then push them into a darker abyss, this is the reality of the United States and China in the past 16 years. Everything that Meilu people show on stage is a show, showing wealth, showing affection, showing freedom, and showing achievement...... But the result? The road to heaven is full of thorns, but the road to hell is always full of flowers......

Koji Nakano, a Japanese, wrote a book called "The Idea of Poverty", which is a very good book. Poverty is not poverty, but the voluntary abandonment of superfluous material comforts. Experience the abundance of the soul in simplicity and simplicity, and pursue a broad spiritual space. Only the simplicity of poverty can allow the soul to wander in a peaceful and free realm, which is a noble state of existence.

Life is the most important thing, and work is actually for life. When you give up your life for the sake of your career, your career has long deviated from its original meaning when it was founded. If you are always busy with your career and always pushed forward by things, you will never have time to think, and your life will slowly deviate from the right direction. Just like a car, you can't always run at high speed, sometimes, slow down to go further!

Xi Murong said: "Life is like a long river that flows endlessly. "On the left bank of the long river is the noise of the red world, and on the right bank of the long river is the tranquility of returning to nature.

I like Haizi's poem very much: I have a house, facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming!
