"I don't want to say' it's over' because it's an epitaph and we've just started." One hundred years ago, Henry Ford wrote in his wealth diary. The whole world advocates perfection, and even thinks that the ultimate goal of struggle is to strive for completion. However, after "completion", did I really reach "I am the peak"? Is there no new scenery in front, even if there are flowers behind, it is empty and barren?

This is the trap of "completion". Completion is an eternal relative concept. There is no real perfection, only the appearance of "completion". Compared with this kind of confusion, the "unfinished state" can stimulate the endless creative spirit. It is a comma of life, which makes people look forward to the next wonderful sentence; It is also a long ellipsis in life, leaving room for infinite reverie.

Goethe, the master of German literature, will be "unfinished" all his life. He began to conceive the poetic drama Faust from his twenties, but this masterpiece was in an "unfinished state" in the next Jiazi period of his life. Goethe is enriching this story with his own efforts, and the unfinished Faust guides him to constantly seek knowledge and realize the world of mortals. Until his later years, he kept writing behind closed doors at home, but he still refused to finalize it. Goethe said in a letter to a friend: "After Faust was completed, my most important career was completed."

At the age of eighty-two, his masterpiece was completed and the writer died soon. A person who just wants to add a comma to his life and mumbles "Let more light in" before he dies has finally completed an unstoppable career in an unfinished state. It's not just that Apple's trademark is missing a corner. The missing piece is not a regret, but there is room for further improvement. Located in the Taj Mahal in India, the building is made of granite with a unique eye and is famous for its exquisite beauty. However, this is an unfinished building. King Shah Jahan wanted to build another black tomb on the opposite side, but failed because of the coup. Today, when tourists stand by the river, they can only build up the imagination of this unfinished love oath. This is a sad ellipsis, never finished, but more charming than finished.

The most beautiful scenery in the world is that the flowers are not in full bloom and the moon is not full. Delicate buds and broken first quarter moon always give people a satisfactory expectation. This vision is undoubtedly the source of motivation for unremitting progress. Enjoy the unfinished state, always pursue your lost corner, and don't draw a full stop to your life.

The difference between roundness and imperfection

There are unfinished States everywhere in life: the race has reached the end, the tower has not been completed, and the work has not been completed ... Some people think that the unfinished state makes people anxious and tired; Some people think that the unfinished state makes people look forward to and forge ahead. The author gets creative inspiration from the Zen poem "Flowers are not in full bloom and the moon is not full", which reminds him of the feelings and situations of Henry Ford, Goethe and Shah Jahan about the "completed" and "unfinished" state of life. This association enriches the content of the article and sublimates the author's understanding: the most beautiful scenery in the world is that the flowers are not in full bloom and the moon is not full. Delicate flower buds and broken first quarter moon always give people full expectations. This vision is undoubtedly the source of motivation for unremitting progress. This interprets the artistic conception of an "unfinished state" as "simple and mysterious, silent and clever"
