Opening one's heart is naturally the only way to bring the conversation into the depths of the soul, and Di Zhexiao, who is well versed in this way, has long been accustomed to showing an easy-to-approach image when talking, looking like a spring breeze on the surface, but leaving no traces when digging a pit.

"Not interested in wealth and truth?" He didn't quite understand what Nie Peng meant, at least for now, few young people in China who were as old as Nie Peng he came into contact with could exclude these two items.

After all, at the age of 20, he has not yet stepped out of school, whether it is ambition or edification, after all, he is shrouded in the overall orientation of society, especially after experiencing the inculcation of national values centered on economic construction.

"So what are you interested in? Or ... Hmm, what's your favorite thing? Jiaying's father is really interested this time, he found that pondering the inner world of a twenty-year-old young man will also make his mood younger, and will make him unconsciously imitate their worldview to think about problems, although the experience is different, but the happiness is the same.

"Hobbies? My previous hobby was riding, I like the feeling of challenging myself, I like to see the mountains and rivers, but recently... Nie Peng's mind flashed over the old beggar he had encountered, and his heartstrings fluttered again, and then he said:

“。。。 Recently, I found that those mountains and rivers bring far less than the feeling when helping people, yes. Be... An indescribable feeling. He racked his brains and couldn't find the right words, so he had to make a gesture with a gesture, and the excitement on his face was self-evident.

"Satisfaction, happiness." Jiaying's father added.

"Yes, that's right."

"Can you tell your uncle how you help people that makes you so happy?" Di Zhexiao was infected by Nie Peng's pleasure and asked curiously.

So Nie Peng told Di's father about what happened in Shanghai, and focused on describing the old man's eyes, and by the way, he talked about the happiness he felt when he recalled it afterwards.

Listening to Nie Peng's narration, Di Zhexiao's mind analyzed his words over and over again, and the more he listened, the more incredible he felt, using Maslow's pyramid theory to analyze, he was surprised to find that Nie Peng's current psychological state was between self-worth and superego value.

What is this concept?

Not to mention a young man of twenty years old, even people of his own age rarely reach this level, and the reason is very simple, when a person runs towards the goal he thinks he desires, the faster he runs, the more he cannot consider whether he is running in the right direction.

Like himself, at the age of twenty he thought that working for Ferrari and top companies was his goal, but as he fought hard and had it all before he was forty, he realized that the Ferrari he longed for brought him even less satisfaction than the first Santana.

It's not about experience, it's about changing perspectives. When people think about what they can achieve in many years' time, they are used to measuring happiness and satisfaction from today's perspective. However, today's perspective is only an illusion, and it convinces people that their goals are correct.

This is also the time when people are most likely to run in the wrong direction.

Nie Peng's perception is not much, and it can be described in three or two sentences, but Di's father fell into contemplation, because from the conclusion he reached, Nie Peng distinguishes pleasure and happiness very clearly, and sorts out desires and needs very thoroughly, he does not imagine the future feelings from the current perspective, but points to the ultimate:

Helping our fellow citizens in need.

This is a metaphysical pursuit, which is by no means comparable to the prestige of a car or a house, and it is a will that can be put into the realization of a person's life. Di Zhexiao even had the illusion that he suddenly felt that half of his nearly fifty years of life had been unhappy, and the income and fame he was chasing seemed to be nothing wonderful in this young man who was more than 20 years younger than himself.

Then I thought of Takeshi Kitano again.

He said that before he became famous, he thought that one day when he had money, he would have to drive a sports car, eat fancy restaurants, and sleep with women. And when he really became famous, he found that the feeling of driving a Porsche was not so good, because "he couldn't see what it was like to drive a Porsche". As a result, he asked his friend to drive, took a taxi himself, followed behind, and said to the taxi driver: Look, that's my car.

"But..." Nie Peng finished talking about his feelings, and found that Jiaying's father seemed to be pondering some profound problem, thinking that he had not explained it, and added, ". . . However, if you want to help people, but you don't know where to start, there is always a feeling of a drop in the bucket. ”

This is inevitable, there are thousands of toiling people in this world, and how many problems can he solve alone.

When Jiaying's father heard this, he suddenly laughed, a little self-deprecating, and a little relieved. began to feel that it seemed natural for his daughter to be attracted to him. As the head of the region, the most important thing he lacks is success and inspirational stories, and it is too easy to help Nie Peng get rid of this state of numb claws. So he organized the language and said to Nie Peng:

"It's normal to have this thought, so let me tell you a story. Think about it after you hear it.

First of all, this is a true story.

About 400 years ago, there was a count in a small town in Germany. A kind-hearted man, he donated a large part of his income to the poor in the town. This is very admirable, because in the Middle Ages there were many poor people, and there were frequent outbreaks of plague that swept across the country.

On this day, the Count met a strange man, who had a workbench and a small laboratory in his house, and who worked hard during the day, and devoted a few hours of each night to his research.

He grinds small pieces of glass into lenses, which he then puts into the barrel to observe small objects. The Count was fascinated by this never-before-seen gizmo, which could zoom in on things. He invited the strange man to live in his castle as the Count's protégé, after which he could devote all his time to studying the optics.

However, when the townspeople learned that the Count had spent money on such a strange man and his useless things, they were angry, "we are still suffering from the plague," and they complained, "and he spends money on the idler and his useless hobby!" ”

"I will do as much as I can," he said, "but I will continue to support this man and his work, and I am sure that one day it will pay off." ”

Sure enough, his work paid off handsomely: the microscope.

The invention of the microscope led to an unprecedented development in medicine, and the resulting research and results eradicated the plague and other infectious diseases that were ravaging much of the world.

The money spent by the Count to support the research and invention ended up greatly alleviating human suffering, and the reward was far greater than simply using the money to help those suffering from the plague.

I think this story should make you understand something, and as for whether it's a drop in the bucket, I think you already have your own ideas, don't you? ”

Jiaying's father looked at Nie Peng, who slowed down after listening to the story, and said slowly.
