No matter which lifestyle you choose, the nutrients needed for growth always need to be obtained through your own efforts. The Internet is my foraging prairie, and real life can make me a real hunter!
The ordinary world, when you look back, is full of bitterness, sweetness, sorrow and joy; in the unrestrained life, you can understand what you want to know
John’s beard and Ying Ruocheng’s game
p>
John had grown a long beard, and suddenly he was about to shave it off, but he was a little hesitant: What would his friends and colleagues think, and would they make fun of him? After several days of careful consideration, he finally decided to just shave it off. Leave a mustache. When he went to work the next day, he was mentally prepared for the worst. The result was unexpected. No one commented on his changes. Everyone came to the office in a hurry and did their own things nervously. In fact, no one said a word until the lunch break. In the end, he couldn't help but ask others first: "What do you think of me looking like this?"
The other person was stunned: "What do I look like?"
"You didn't notice that I'm a little bit a bit different today. Isn't it different?"
The colleagues then began to look at him from head to toe, and finally someone shouted: "Oh! You have a mustache."
The famous performing artist Yingruo. Cheng also told a similar story. He was born and raised in a big family, and dozens of people would sit in the big restaurant every time he ate. One day, he had a sudden idea and decided to play a joke on everyone. Before eating, he hid himself in an unnoticed cabinet in the dining room, hoping to jump out when no one could find him.
What makes Ying Ruocheng embarrassed is that no one noticed his absence at all. After they had had enough wine and food, everyone left, and he walked out to eat the leftovers.
Since then, he has warned himself: Never take yourself too seriously, otherwise you will be disappointed.
Don’t think that you are the center of the world. If you spend half an hour in front of the mirror every day deciding which lipstick to wear and which tie to wear, no one may even notice your hard work. Everyone is doing their own thing, so you should also focus on it and don't always worry about what others think of you.

18 cherries, 18 Goethe once stooped
Goethe told such a short story in his "Narrative Ballad": Jesus took his disciple Peter on a long journey. He saw a small horseshoe on the road and asked Peter to pick it up. , but Peter didn't bother to bend down and pretended not to hear. Jesus didn't say anything. He picked up the horseshoe by himself. When passing through the town, he went to the blacksmith shop to exchange for three pennies, and used the money to buy 18 cherries. The two continued to move forward, passing through a vast wilderness. Jesus knew that Peter was thirsty and hungry, so he let a cherry hidden in his sleeve fall out, and Peter hurriedly picked it up and ate it. Jesus was lost as he walked, and Peter bent down 18 times in embarrassment.
Jesus smiled and said to Peter: "If you had bent down once, you wouldn't have bent down endlessly later. If you don't do small things, you will work hard on smaller things in the future. ”

Self-deception
Mark H. Mike, the founder of the American International Management Group (IMG), is a world-class management expert. He himself said that he learned a lot from a good friend.
This friend is an outstanding salesman. As soon as he appears, his charm can fill every corner, and you will not leave until you spend all your money. However, this is his only strength. He knows nothing about other aspects, such as organization, use of funds, encouragement of subordinates, business details, work implementation, etc.
This kind of person could have become a star sales manager of the company, but he is definitely not an entrepreneur. However, this gentleman was a master of self-deception and overestimated his abilities.
For ten consecutive years, he continued to build his own companies, and then closed them.
What is even more ironic is that he believes that his extraordinary sales skills are possessed by everyone. For him, sales is the easiest job, and he thinks it is just as easy for others. So he stayed in the office to do management and let others go out to do sales. As a result, no one in the company was using their own strengths.
It is impossible for a person to be perfect in everything. The key is to strive to maximize one's strengths and minimize the harm of shortcomings. If you spend all your energy on improving your weaknesses, you will achieve little results. Instead, it will affect other aspects and become a featureless enemy. Naturally, it will be difficult to achieve anything.
Having flaws is not terrible. What is terrible is having to engage in work that corresponds to the flaws; having expertise is of course a good thing, but discarding expertise is like having no expertise.

Seven points and Three points (super insightful)
It is better to combine Tian Li to become a man, and to combine women. Men are difficult people; women are also good people!
Seven paintings are "male", three paintings are "female", "seven" plus "three" are perfect. Therefore, men take away 70% of their rights, and women only have 30% of resistance!
In terms of physical strength, men are seven and women are three. But in terms of endurance, women are seven and men are three. Therefore, when facing a love rival, men usually fight hand to hand and solve it by force; women prefer a tug-of-war involving overt and covert fighting!
When men chat, they talk 70% about ideals and 30% about women; women talk about 70% about men and 30% about ideals. Therefore, men conquer the world and win women; women conquer men and win the world.
A man’s oath is 70% false and 30% true. Therefore, if a man is not bad, a woman will not love her; a woman's appearance depends on her appearance three-thirds and her grooming seventy-percent. Therefore, men are bold enough to go into business, and women are bold enough not to wear makeup.
Women are 70% confident and 30% unsure, so women always ask men, "Does this dress look good on me?" Men are 70% impatient and 30% perfunctory. , without even looking at it, he said: It’s so beautiful! The woman gives her seven points to her family and the remaining three points to her parents; the man's seven points are given to his career, wife, children, parents, and lover and the remaining three points... Therefore, the woman can get seven points of the property during divorce. , but men get a lot of freedom.
In the colorful external world, women take up 70% of the colors, leaving only 30% for men, so there are "flower girls"; in the same gorgeous inner world, men spend 70% to appreciate other things. A woman only has three points of loyalty for her lover. Hence "Playboy".
Men want women to be 30% charming and 70% slim; women want men to have 30% black gauze and 70% gold bars. Therefore, men often praise: "She is so beautiful!" Women often sigh: "He is so rich!" Men are about three parts love and seven parts sex, while women are the opposite! Therefore, men are 30% human and 70% beast!
Men can be 70% men and 30% women; women cannot be 70% women and 30% men.
Men don’t like women who are 70% shrewd, just like women don’t like men who are 70% honest!
A man spends 70% of his life thinking and 30% expressing, but the opposite is true for women! Therefore, there are some things that men don’t say after thinking about it, but women just say them if they don’t want to!
A woman’s skin is 70% natural and 30% depends on maintenance. So men are afraid of women getting tanned and often make them hide behind them!
Men love mathematics 70% and literature 30%. Therefore, a man conquers a woman with 30% romance and 70% rationality to control her.
In fact, the sweetest love is 30% gained and 70% wanted; and the most stable marriage is 70% gained and 30% wanted. Therefore, marriage is not sweet because women let men get too much!
What I said is 70% truth and 30% child’s play!
====================================
How to become a "celebrity"
The "celebrity" mentioned here does not refer to celebrities in life, but to IDs on the Internet. Many new friends are eager to become famous overnight on BBS and let everyone know and understand themselves.
Through observation, I discovered that there are several effective methods as follows:
1. If you have the ability to write, then post more and good posts, preferably every day, to bombard everyone’s attention. ! When everyone gradually accepts you, chat with everyone appropriately in your replies. Through communication, you will become familiar with each other from strangers. Over time, you will become a powerful writer on BBS.
2. If you don’t have the ability to write, then repost your posts every day to attract everyone’s attention. Let everyone gradually feel that if you don't see your reposts one day, there will be a lack of fun in life, and then you are not far away from being a "celebrity".
3. If you don’t have the ability to write and don’t want to repost, then you can only be a “blower” – that is, reply to other people’s posts. I would like to solemnly remind you that you must pay attention: when replying to a post, you must remember to say flattering words, such as: What a great post~ The original poster is really good at writing, etc. Don't make mistakes: The topic of this post is unclear, and the sentences are not clear. Not smooth and so on. If you don't pay attention when replying to a post, not only will you lose your reputation, but you will also arouse the resentment of the poster and other people, and you will lose more money than you gain.
4. If you feel that the above methods are too slow, then I will tell you a more shortcut method: find a celebrity on the forum and start a scandal with him or her, for example: Bamboo, famous people on the forum, etc. If you think it is unethical to do so, you can also find someone who wants to be famous quickly like you to play a double act with you. For example: Today you write: **We will love each other forever, and tomorrow you will send: **You are unethical, since Why did you still lie to me when you were married? The day after tomorrow you can tell me another one: the love story that ** and I have to tell. . . After such bombardment, it will be difficult for you not to become famous. I guarantee that you will become famous in BBS overnight.
5. If you don’t use any of the above methods, then you have no other option but to try something different. But the premise of this method is that you have already met Mozhu in some way before. It is also a convenient method to introduce you to everyone through Mozhu (Note: People on BBS love to follow trends. Who dares to make MPs with Mozhu’s face? No~)
6. If you are a fun-loving person, you can pour water frequently. This is the most convenient way to increase your popularity.
Philosophy of Life
There is saltiness in sweetness, sweetness in saltyness, a reflection of the original life.
The scenery that has been "neglected" can wait, but the talents that have been "neglected" cannot bear to wait any longer!
Many dangers in the world are hidden without any trace in people and things that appear to be perfect.
Sweet and salty life
When I was young, I wanted to eat "sweet and salty".
To drink tea and coffee, you need to drink three tablespoons of condensed milk in a small cup; to make red bean soup and mung bean soup, you add a tablespoon or a tablespoon of white sugar without thinking. Introversion.
Every sip is like pouring liquid white sugar down your throat.
When eating, no matter what comes to you, you must pour a circle of soy sauce on it as if to "salute". Sometimes, if it doesn't taste enough, I add a pinch of salt and mix it into the soy sauce.
Every bite is like chewing salt that is so salty that your taste buds tremble.
It is both sweet and salty, giving full play to the spirit of "The Expendables".
The same goes for people: great love and great hatred. If you like someone in your heart, you will feel that the other person is perfect and flawless; if you hate someone in your heart, you will feel that the other person has many shortcomings and is worthless. In those days when I was so young that I didn't know the heights of the world, I was disdainful and unwilling to hide my "self-righteousness" feeling, and often "accidentally hurt good people" without realizing it.
Slowly, people reach middle age.
Health awareness has increased and dietary tastes have changed. Significantly reduce the intake of sugar and salt, and use "slightly sweet" and "slightly salty" as the guideline for cooking food. In the past, I always hated and detested foods with ambiguous sweetness and ambiguous taste, such as sweet and sour meat, mango duck, honey chicken, etc. However, now, not only do I accept it, but I actually also gradually like it - there is saltiness in the sweetness and sweetness in the saltiness, which is the portrayal of life!
Great love and great hatred should only belong to the stage. Real life should have more tolerance and room for change.
Although I am still far, far away from the realm of "no anger, no resentment, no anger, no hate", at least I have learned that there is a "golden mean" between "great love" and "great hate" ".
I am willing to continue to receive the teachings of the years with a sincere heart.
Indifference
A foreign friend who visited Singapore for two weeks talked about Singapore's scenic spots at the farewell dinner. Chinatown, Haw Par Villa, Bird Park, Botanical Garden, Central Park, Van Cleef Aquarium: Sri Marimanjan, Kuang Mang Phor Jaw Temple, Shuang Lin Temple, Thian Hock Temple, Crocodile Park, Zoo, Sentosa , Pulau Ubin, St. John's Island, Kusu Island, Wan Qing Yuan, Peace Monument, etc., etc., all have his clear footprints.
I listened quietly on the sidelines. The more I listened, the more ashamed I became.
The many scenic spots he described with joy and the many islands he explored in search of mysteries are all things I have never been to.
It’s not that I lack the curiosity to explore, it’s just that these famous places are close at hand, as safe and secure as something held in the palm of my hand. I keep thinking in my mind: I can’t fly, so what’s the rush? This unconsciously drags on day by day, year by year. The place is getting old slowly, but people have never left their footsteps on it. The worst thing is that if I don’t go or watch, I don’t feel any regret in my heart.
I recently read the collection of essays "Wuhua Xiaowen" by Shanghai female writer Ms. Zha Zhihua. There is a passage in it, which is like a drum hammer, knocking hard on the leaves of my heart:
< p> "People have a strong interest in exploring a city they first arrived in, but they often inadvertently ignore and neglect the place where they have lived for several years and decades. Therefore, someone wrote a poem and said: Familiar places No scenery. ”Disrespectful and negligent.
Yes, yes, you are in Lushan and you don’t know the true face of Lushan, just because the person who is in Lushan is indifferent to the majestic Lushan.
The "neglected" scenery can wait - even if you wait ten or eight years, the scenery will still be as charming as before. But. If you are "neglected", you are a talent, and this talent cannot bear to wait any longer!
Wine and people
Friendship is like wine.
Sweet-tongued casual acquaintances, like fruit wine
Kirsch wine, apple wine, orange wine, apricot wine, and perry wine are all dazzling and colorful, and everyone loves them. Just sip lightly, don't drink too much. If you drink too much, its cloying sweetness will linger in your throat. It's hard to get rid of it, but it's even harder to keep it.
The friendship between gentlemen. Like rice wine.
The wine tastes light and subtle. It is not intoxicating or greasy, and you will never go crazy for it. On a breezy afternoon with the fragrance of flowers, you will inadvertently think of it. Pour a cup of rice wine with a plate of peanuts, and you can spend a pleasant time drinking it on a windy and rainy night. It can block the surging melancholy.
The friendship between villains is like coconut wine. , I vomited colorfully. I woke up the next day with a splitting headache and a feeling of regret.
Wine is like a friend whose friendship lasts forever.
< p> Clear and sweet, the wine tastes timeless. Red wine is like agate and white wine is like crystal. The older the wine, the better it tastes. When you drink it, you love it; when you don’t drink it, you miss it. It will never make you drunk, but it will make you dream about it even when you are slightly drunk.The life and death friend who can help you is like the medicinal wine brewed by thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. .
There are very few wines like this in the world; whether you can meet them depends on fate. As soon as you take off the bottle cap, the aroma of the wine will hit you; after a few sips, the aroma of wine will linger on your tongue. Meaningful. Drink it regularly to keep fit and eliminate all diseases.
If everyone in the world knew clearly what kind of wine was in their cup, then it would be a shame to lose their composure after drinking. What’s more terrible is that people often mistakenly mistake coconut wine for wine, and after drinking it, they feel arrogant. What’s even more frightening is that some people deliberately “pack A bottle of B wine” and others accidentally drink it and get hurt by bad wine. It's too late.
So, before raising a glass, you should open your eyes and recognize the brand clearly; when sipping, you should be alert and discern the taste of the wine!
Sweet and spicy rice dumplings
At the New Year dinner party hosted by the Singapore Literary and Art Association, Mr. Zhang Hui and I sat at the same table.
When eating shark fin, I was shocked to see him scoop up a big spoonful of chili sauce, pour it into the bowl without changing his expression, and eat it with the shark fin. Soon, the roast chicken was served, and he dipped the whole piece of chicken into the chili sauce, and the sauce dripped into his mouth. I was secretly frightened, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: When the dessert of water chestnuts is served later, I wonder if Mr. Zhang Hui will also scoop a spoonful of chili sauce to mix with it?
Different family backgrounds often lead to different eating habits.
I remember the first time I went to Ipoh with my newlywed husband for a wedding, it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and my mother-in-law brought me a hot rice dumpling. Her fried rice dumplings made of mushrooms, pork, chestnuts and shrimp are extremely delicious and are famous far and wide. When I was unmarried and living at home, I had long been accustomed to my mother's method of eating various kinds of rice dumplings with sugar, so now, I poured sugar on the rice dumplings without hesitation. Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. For a long time, all kinds of joking words came pouring in. While laughing, they all thought that my way of eating was tantamount to "wasting natural resources". During dinner, I saw my mother-in-law put the originally sweet and crisp cucumber into the soup and boiled it until it became rotten. I was also shocked - in my family, cucumbers are only used for pickling or eating raw.
Because my husband and I come from different families, our food preferences are also very different. He couldn't stand the overpowering smell of fermented bean curd; as for me, I hated the monotony of plain meat.
We seek to survive in differences and seek peace in existence, and we will never engage in assimilation. However, the strange thing is: over time, one party will always be subtly affected. For example, fried chicken with fermented bean curd is now my husband’s favorite dish, and I think it’s also delicious to dip the meat in shrimp sauce!
Culture is the same. Letting different races in the same country shine culturally is a healthy way to survive. Forcibly kneading it is equivalent to encouraging diners to sprinkle pepper on the rice dumplings and add white sugar. Hey, hey, you can imagine the spicy and sweet taste!
Tires
Two months ago, I sent my car to the garage for routine inspection.
The car was not well maintained and there was nothing serious. However, the inspector thought that the four tires on my car were "overage" and advised me to go to a tire shop to replace them.
After I got home, I took a closer look at the tires. Hey, they were all pretty good. The patterns on the tires were meticulous and clear, with no sign of wear at all; Knocked it hard, it was strong and elastic.
So, the inspector’s words fell on deaf ears.
The rainy season is here.
One day, when the car was driving on a wet road, it suddenly felt inadequate. The tires seemed unwilling to "obey" the control of the wheel, especially when turning on a slippery road. There is a feeling that the wheel and the tire "do their own thing".
This surprise is no small matter.
Drive the car to the tire shop quickly. As soon as the staff inspected them, they exclaimed:
"Wow, these tires are so old that they will burst anytime and anywhere! Why didn't you bring them in for replacement earlier!"
I murmured: "It looks as good as new!"
The staff quickly removed these four "gold and jade on the outside, but rotten on the inside" tires. After taking it apart, he kindly instilled common sense into me, a layman:
“Nowadays, the technology for manufacturing tires is very good, and the patterns on the tires will not wear out even if they are rolled on the road for ten or eight years. There are traces! However, you have to remember: on average, each tire needs to be replaced after traveling for 32,000 kilometers. Therefore, cars that often travel long distances need to replace their tires every one or two years; Even short-distance cars need to be replaced every two or three years. Many traffic accidents are caused by tire blowouts and loss of control of the car!"
I changed four tires and learned a valuable lesson.
Many dangers in the world are hidden without any trace in people and things that appear to be perfect.
Turning around
Once, I invited two friends whom I hadn’t seen for a long time to go out for dinner.
I was driving, and the three of us were chatting and laughing in the car. It was so lively. When I came to an intersection where I could only turn left, I was distracted by chatting and walked straight ahead. It was too late, but soon, a large truck turning to the left slammed into me like a terrifying black shadow. , at this critical moment, I twisted the wheel to one side vigorously, and only heard a "clang" sound. The rearview mirror next to the car was completely knocked off by the truck, and the body also had large ugly scratches due to friction.
At this time, "blue light" flooded inside the car - my friend's two white faces turned pale green due to excessive fright. In the silence of the embarrassment, I looked to the left and back, and saw that their facial features and limbs were all in place and intact. Only then did my wildly beating and suspended heart finally calm down. .
I can’t go to the restaurant I originally planned to go to, and my car without the rear mirror must be sent to a garage immediately.
The joy of seeing each other again after a long separation disappeared, and everyone seemed to be in low spirits. My friend was still in fear and remained silent; while I, with a gray face and a gray face, felt sorry for myself in my heart:
“If I had not taken the shortcut and taken the high road just now, I would not have encountered such bad luck. Son? Also, if I had made a phone call to book a restaurant somewhere else, wouldn’t this accident have been avoided? ”
Remorse, anger, everything; a heart , like crumpled paper, dull and painful; after a while, I tried to think about the problem from another angle, and suddenly I had a different feeling.
The situation could have been thousands of times worse. Now, my friend was not injured and the car was not badly damaged. Isn’t it extremely lucky?
Thinking of this, the dark cloud that had gathered on the leaves of my heart was immediately blown away by a brisk wind.
After sending the car to the garage, my friend and I happily took a taxi to eat Thai food.
After anything happens, if the person involved blindly digs into the horn, he will eventually suffocate to death in that dark, pointed horn with no way out. However, just turn a slight corner. The bright sunshine and the broad road are all there, waiting.
Nurting rape and raising bacteria
Both think I am a happy person.
Happy, just because I don’t “allow for adultery”.
"Traitor" refers to the "little traitor" hidden in everyone's mind who specializes in creating elements of sadness.
Someone deliberately raises it, makes it fat and big, and causes trouble at will.
When the weather is calm, they let the "little traitor" out and let him go around collecting gossip. Then, he is immersed in these unfounded gossips and suffers from self-inflicted pain.
When life is ups and downs, they let the "little traitors" who are usually "pampered" proudly turn the breeze into a typhoon and the microwave into a huge wave. Then, in the exaggerated typhoons and huge waves, we cried and were in panic all day long. One day, when a real strong wind blows and huge waves rise, they will be tortured to death by the "little traitor" who is uninhibited and misbehaves.
I will not tolerate adultery, never, never, never.
I know it is there, but I ignore it, ignore it, listen to it, talk about it, and more importantly, don’t raise it.
The grid of my life is filled up so densely that there is no room for it to do evil. Even though the deer-headed rat-eye is poking its head there all day long, it can never find a threshold where it can take advantage of it.
Occasionally when a storm arises and it is ready to move, I will fight it with all my strength and never let it have a chance to thrive. Of course, there are times when it succeeds and makes trouble. However, even if it is at a disadvantage, I still adhere to the general principle of "never raise it". It lacks "nutrients" and fights alone. After a while, it will automatically "never raise it". Hungry".
I don’t cultivate adultery, but I cultivate bacteria—happy bacteria.
Nurture it, nourish it, and then let it multiply in the text, and then pass it on to everyone who comes into contact with the text.
The wires are sick
When we bought the house we currently live in more than ten years ago. Wires and wires lay ugly and exposed on the wall, like veins snaking around the wrists. While you're in the middle of a major renovation, hire an electrician to dig them into the wall.
The situation of digging into walls, flying sand and stones, and the smoky atmosphere in the house was really upsetting. However, thinking that it could be "fixed once and for all", I reluctantly endured it.
After laying out the circuit and hiding the wires, I installed a "current interrupter" for safety.
More than ten years have passed and my life has been quiet, peaceful, smooth and secure.
However, unexpectedly, the wires have become "sick" recently, and they have become quite sick. At first, the current interrupter cut off the electricity in the whole house every now and then; slowly, the situation became worse and worse, and it was cut off every few hours; finally, it fell into a state of "paralysis", the lights did not work, and the fans did not work. It won't move, the freezer won't be cold, and the computer won't move. I was helpless and in agony.
Wires are all densely hidden in the walls. When the electricians are doing the general inspection, they have a hazy feeling of "seeing flowers in the smoke". They make various bold assumptions and then carry out various precautions. of verification. However, the "experiments" were done again and again, and the current was still dying.
During the day, I followed batches of different electricians up and downstairs, sweating profusely, explaining to them again and again the pattern of the wires in the house. At night, in the dim light of portable electric lamps and thin candles, I looked at the mountain of manuscript proposals and letters waiting for reply piled next to the computer. I was so anxious that it made me restless.
After three weeks of hard work, we finally found the "source of the disease."
Prescribe the right medicine to restore youth.
On the day when the whole house was brightly lit, I sat under the air conditioner that blew out the cool breeze, pressed my hands on the computer keyboard to write, and felt a great joy of "being reborn" in my heart.
Oh, happiness in the world is actually contained in ordinary and ordinary life. It is a pity that people in the world are ignorant of blessings and fully enjoy all the conveniences brought by civilized life, but they take all of them for granted. Happiness is so close in front of you that you don’t even realize it;
Don’t limit yourself
I was moved to tears when I read a piece of news in the Taiwan United Newspaper.
A senior writer, Mason, lost his sight due to retinal disease more than ten years ago, but he still continues to create with perseverance. In the past six years, he has devoted himself to the creation of full-length novels. "Youyan's Chuanchanghe", which he revised five drafts, was recently completed with the help of two friends in recording and transcribing.
What touches the heart is what he said in his own words:
“It is inconvenient to grope for writing in the dark when we cannot see; but in our lives, we always You will encounter many difficulties, and you must find ways to overcome them. As long as a person does not limit himself, no difficulties can limit him. ”
This is a shining golden saying.
By Mason, I think of Zhuang Yu, a blind writer from my country.
She is also a typical example of not limiting herself.
I have met her at some art gatherings and art exhibitions. On her peacefully smiling face, I couldn't find any trace of her painful struggle in the turbulent waves; there was only a sense of tranquility and clarity on a sunny day! Suddenly, broad-minded.
She accepted the cruel fact of "blindness" firmly and faced it bravely. She did not hide in her small room all day long and complain about herself in tears. On the contrary, she actively picked up her pen again, painted and wrote, and created a colorful world for herself in the dark world. The most rare thing is: the world of words she created. It's not sad or pessimistic; sometimes, she even displays the art of "self-mockery" between the lines.
Without self-limitation, even if you are blind, you still have the ability to transform the dark and boundless world into a bright and shining life. Like Mei Xun and Zhuang Yu, they have an infinitely vast world in their minds, hearts, and chests. < /p>
It’s very urgent.
I regard "being born into the world" as a journey. For this trip, I bought a one-way ticket. The monk rings the bell, and every day counts as a day; as for me, reading and writing, every day counts, and every day counts as a day. I know that time is fleeting and I don’t want to run around in this world in vain, so I deliberately fill the grid of my life to the fullest.
I am busy and tired, but I am happy because I clearly know where my goal of survival is.
I know two friends who are also very anxious to "burn themselves" in the human world.
A man named Tian works as an editor at a major newspaper in Taiwan. Every day in the newspaper office, I deal with mountains and seas of manuscripts, so exhausted that my limbs are almost torn to pieces; when I get home, I have to deal with trivial housework. After nightfall, she would not rest without watching TV. On the contrary, she mustered up all her energy and immersed herself in reading English under the flickering lights. In the letter she wrote to me, she said:
“With only work and no study, I live like a robot, and my brain gradually becomes as rigid as a stone. I study English hard in my spare time. Not because it can bring me any practical benefits, just to keep my brain flexible through continuous learning. The feeling of absorbing new knowledge is so beautiful, and I feel that every day is very fulfilling. ” < /p>
Another friend holds an important position in the business world. Although he is extremely busy, he still spares precious time to engage in social welfare and charity work. There is only one simple reason for doing this:
"I want to prove to myself the value of survival."
People who suffer from self-destruction are often unwilling to show others in their lives. People who hand in blank papers themselves.
Power outage
When living in the desert, the most feared thing is power outage.
I am afraid during the day and even more afraid at night.
The desert climate is extremely hot. There are six air conditioners on in the room at the same time. In the afternoon, I was staying comfortably in the room, reading and writing. The six air conditioners suddenly made a harsh noise together, and then, a "silent" sound came from the entire earth.
In the complete silence, the outdoor heat flowed in bit by bit through the gaps under the windows and doors. After a while, the whole room turned into a terrible oven, and the person was like a dying salted fish in the oven.
Slowly, the heat forced its way into the mattress and cushions, making it difficult to lie down and sit comfortably; touching my cheeks felt as hot as a soldering iron. Not long after, the people in the house felt smoke slowly coming out from above their heads, sizzling, oh, it was like they were incineration! When the heat exceeded the tolerable limit, the whole mind fell into a state of dullness and confusion.
Having a power outage at night when my husband is on a business trip is the biggest nightmare in my life.
In that quiet little white house on the lonely ridge, there was only one ignorant child facing me silently. In this lighted room, the embarrassing loneliness condenses and weighs heavily on people's hearts. When the current suddenly stopped, it was like a black devil's hand stretched out from the sky, ruthlessly holding the house, the mountain, and the earth. That kind of blackness is bottomless and endless. The whole person suddenly lost his support, as if he was suddenly pushed into the vast sea, with the fear and panic of being suffocated. At such moments, the children beside them are always so frightened that they burst into tears. That desperate cry is like a sharp ax, cutting into pieces the ghostly night that surrounds them.
