2023/12/23 Friends of time

Why is my eldest brother in Shanghai so successful in his career and social networking, I reflected on it last night with the strength of wine, and I think it should be that his pattern and thinking are different from ordinary people.

He said that because most of you are after passion and passion, but few are after affection, he is a friend of time.

Why is he a friend of time?

Because, when most of us are pursuing passion and enthusiasm, we are losing things, running for money, and losing things at the same time, what we lose is the family affection between people.

Have you noticed that there is a huge difference between people today and people in the past, people in the past were composed of long-term relationships in their lives, while people today are composed of short-term relationships in their lives, right?

Eighty percent of our friends are short-term friends, and after a year or two, we change to a new group of friends, and then another year or two, and then a new batch.

But if you think about the people in the past, they have some long-term relationships in their lives, and I don't know if you have ever heard the term friend of time, but you don't understand it, and I really understand what it means to be a friend of time.

Friends of time are people who pursue family affection, and I understand more and more why some friends like to call me "song" or "old song". You may feel that I have a strong and assertive attitude, or a special kind of family affection and trust, especially like the "brother" or "father" they have never had. I'm not that old, but I do like it.

Therefore, the pursuit of family affection is the sincere feeling that each of us should pursue, of course, I do not deny enthusiasm and passion, we must understand a truth, everything must be repaired.

Is there a lot of things in this world that will break if you use them too much? Even if we use something, we care about it and be careful, it will still break, what is important?

It's important that once it's broken, you don't throw it away right away.

Now, we just throw away something when it is broken, but we have to have a consciousness that it must be repaired.

Why? Because, in the process of using broken things, I understood one thing, it turns out that in this world, it is not said that new is good.

If you develop such a habit, you will understand that a rich and focused life will sprout from your habits.

The pursuit of family affection is one of the most beautiful qualities of a person. In our fast-paced society, people tend to ignore this, always tied down by various short-term relationships, and lack real emotional communication. Kinship refers not only to blood ties, but also to those who have developed deep friendships and trust with us in our lives.

In the eldest brother I know, I see his pursuit and persistence of family affection. He is not blindly pursuing money and profit, but focuses on humanity and emotion, and strives to build and maintain those precious long-term relationships. He knows how to be grateful and reciprocate, and he treats friends and family consistently, which is very rare in today's society. At the same time, the eldest brother also emphasized the importance of repair. Whether it is interpersonal relationships or objects, we need to maintain and repair them carefully. If we just blindly pursue novelty and excitement, and throw away when we use it, then we will lose a lot of precious things and people. On the contrary, if we can consciously cultivate and cherish it, then our lives will be richer and more meaningful.

Friends of time are not just those who have accompanied us through the long years, but also those who have developed a deep emotional connection with us in our lives. We should cherish these friends and maintain these relationships with our hearts, so that family and friendship can become the best wealth in our lives.
