We all know that we are doomed to die. But the arrival of this day seems to be far away. If we live every day as if it were our last, we can show the value of life even more. If we think that the years are still quite long, our daily life will not be so meaningful, full of energy and enthusiasm.
People who have reached the end of their lives are extremely eager for life. He regrets that he has no time to do something, and he feels sad that he doesn't really care about the people who love him. Because of life, we have the right to love the person we want to love; Because of life, we have the right to do what we want to do and realize our life value.
In the 20th century, there was a great woman in America, Helen Keller. Helen Keller was disabled by illness when she was very young. She is deaf, dumb and blind, but she miraculously learned many languages, such as English, French and Latin. With strong will, she was admitted to Radcliffe College of Harvard University, becoming the first blind person in the world to complete her college education. She was selected as one of the "Top Ten Idols of Mankind" by Time magazine and awarded the "Presidential Medal of Freedom".
If you give me three days of light is the most famous masterpiece in Helen Keller's prose. From the perspective of a weak woman who is physically disabled and determined, she warns healthy people to cherish life and everything given by the creator. She said: "If I have three days of sight, I will divide these three days into three stages: On the first day, I will see those kind, gentle and friendly people who make my life valuable. The next day, I will get up with dawn, take a look at the moving miracle that night turns into day, and take a quick look at the whole world, from ancient times to the present. On the third day, I want to spend an ordinary day among people who are engaged in daily life in the real world. "
Helen Keller's life is silent and colorless, so she dare not expect it, but only wants three days of light. From her, we can feel the strength of self-improvement and not giving in to fate.
When flower of life blooms, it is also the most beautiful time. Live a good life, be a good person, enrich yourself every day, and live a wonderful life every day. This is our best gift to life.
Pursue a full life: life is only once for everyone. For everyone, how to spend this limited life is very important. "I" is a person who pursues a rich and fulfilling life. I am brave and persistent, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and dangers, it can't stop my progress. My persistence finally shows me the light. Can you do it in this life?
Happy World: What is a happy lifestyle? Is it to accumulate wealth? Or fight for power and profit? I think we should be frugal. Because "it will make you close to the essence of life and will not get lost in the bizarre surface." It will make you feel grateful for ordinary life, so that you won't lift your feet and kick over some basic rules that maintain the world. It will make you pay more attention to your heart and enjoy more life in the aftertaste. "
"The core of personality is self-confidence": Self-confidence is like a sailboat in life, which can help you overcome the difficulties on the road ahead and achieve the final success, so we should make good use of it. Self-confidence can also make you always full of vigor and optimism on your way forward. Self-confident people live in heaven every day, while self-abased people live in hell every day. The confident little frog in the story is a beautiful stroke that can't be erased in life. It touches us and makes us face life with a smile.
Listen to the dripping sound: when I was a teenager, in order to review for the exam, "I" turned off the tap to the point where it could only drip, and put a bucket under it. Ticking water is chasing "me" all the time. People's lives are passing away bit by bit in this ticking sound. Listen to the sound of water drops and cherish every minute of your life.
A colorful life: how to have a colorful life? "Buddha's Light" tells us that we can't rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves; "Color Mood" tells us, "The same eyes, with a black and white mood, see the black and white world; Put on a colorful mood and see a colorful world. " Therefore, the quality of your mood depends on your own grasp; "Learning to be an excellent official" tells us that the knowledge of doing things should be solid and "pruned often". Smart and Capable tells us that smart people should not only have clear goals, but also work hard. Christmas tree tells us that no one is perfect, so don't be too demanding of perfection; "It is difficult to close the sword" tells us to think twice before you act.
If I were you: While appreciating the brilliance of others, who has ever appreciated their own brilliance? Maybe each of us can't be remembered by the world and history like Einstein, Mozart, Lu Xun and Hawking, but at least let ourselves remember. Maybe we are still ordinary, even mediocre, but with the help of remembering ourselves, dominating ourselves and appreciating ourselves, we will get an honor that can be impressed and appreciated by others in the near future, maybe a few years later.
"Let's hide our tears and smile": It is normal for a person's mood to be affected by the environment, but your bitter face and bitterness will not change the situation. Bitter or noisy, the dilemma is still up to you to clean up. Life is like a mirror. When we cry, life is crying, and when we smile, life is smiling. So, why don't we choose to face life with a smile? Just like the beauty of home in the story, hide your tears, smile and move forward bravely. "Let us believe that we are strong and happy people!"
Life is a continuous journey, from youth to youth, from youth to middle age, from middle age to old age ... When one day, when we suddenly look back, we hope that the place we have traveled is a pleasant scenery.
Pursue a full life
Ba Jin
I often dream. On moonless and starless nights, I dream the most. Once I dreamed of dragons.
I walked into osawa, a deep mountain, and I only had a crutch as my protective weapon. I used it to fight jackals through thorns, and it helped me climb mountains and step on mud. I wear sandals, so I can walk across the water without indulgence.
In a swamp, I saw a monster with horns on its head and a moustache on its lips. Eyes wide open, red and bright like two lanterns. The body is completely trapped in the mud, and only this head, which is two or three times larger than a human head, emerges from the mud.
I approached the swamp and looked at the monster with amazing eyes. It suddenly spit out words and stopped me from moving forward:
"What are you from? Where are you going? Why did you come here? "
"I am an anonymous person. I only pursue one thing. I only know how to find my way through thorns. " I replied proudly, I don't need to be polite to monsters.
"Can't move forward, there is a flaming mountain ahead, burning for dozens of miles, causing countless people."
"I am not afraid of fire. I am willing to go through fire and water in order to get what I pursue. "
"You still can't move forward. The sea is ahead, and there is no boat to take you across the white sea. "
"I am not afraid of water. I have sandals to wade through. In order to get what I seek, even if I drown, I have no complaints. "
"You still can't move forward, there are wild animals eating people ahead."
"I have a cane that can fight against wild animals. In order to get what I pursue, I am willing to fight with wild animals. "
The monster's two lantern eyes shot fire, and two long tentacles suddenly came out of his nostrils, his mouth opened wide and his teeth were as bright as steel. It gave a cry, causing many green leaves to fall from the nearby trees at once, and the mud immediately boiled and bubbled.
"What do you want, you stubborn man?" It is broken.
"I pursue life."
"Life? Don't you already have life? "
"What I want is a rich and fulfilling life."
"I don't know what you mean." It shook its head.
"I can't live to do something useful. Talk about your ideals all day, but watch others suffer. I can't give some food to the hungry and a dress to the cold. I can't dry the tears on the faces of people who are crying. I ate, talked and fell asleep, wasting my time in boring leisure-how can such a person say that he is alive? In my life, if I can't get a rich and fulfilling life. So what's the difference between living and dying? "
The monster thought about it, but shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll never get what you want." Maybe there is no such thing in the world. "
I see a trace of sympathy in its ugly face. I said:
"No, I have read books about it."
"You fool, do you believe in books?"
"I believe, because this book is very clear and reasonable."
The monster shook his head and sighed, "You stubborn man." I suggest you turn around at once. You don't know what else is waiting for you on the road ahead. "
"I know. But I must move on. "
"You have to think about it."
"Why are you so fearless to stop me? I don't know you. I don't even know your name. Tell me your name! "
"No one mentioned my name for a long time, and I almost forgot myself. Now I tell you: I am a dragon, I am a dragon. "
I was taken aback. I looked at the strange face.
"You are a dragon, how can you lie in the mire? As far as I know, the dragon is the king of water and should live in the sea. Why can't you take thunder to heaven? " I asked doubtfully. Then there was a huge thunder in the sky, and there was the last sentence. I looked at its body. Yellow and black sludge covered its chest, abdomen and tail. Mud water bubbled like boiling, giving off an unpleasant smell from the water.
The dragon was silent. It seems to be trying to move. But the body is stuck, covered and pressed by mud and can't move. It opened its mouth and let out a cry. Two big tears fell from its eyes.
It's crying! I looked at its head in fear. I don't think it's anything like the faucet I saw in the photo. It must have cheated me. It's not a dragon.
"I am also here to pursue a rich life." It stopped crying and began to tell its story. What it said was completely out of my expectation. What a big surprise this is for me!
"Like you, I don't want to waste time on boring leisure. I don't want to put my happy throne on the pain of other aquarium people, so I abandoned the Dragon Palace. Leave the sea and pursue what you call a rich and fulfilling life. I don't want to live only for myself. I am determined to do something to help my peers. I fly to the sky. I don't want to be with those floating clouds all day, nor do I want to be above other aquatic animals. I fell to the ground. I'm going to osawa, a deep mountain, to pursue what I have seen in my dreams. I did see a full and brilliant life in my dream. As a result, I got stuck in the mud and couldn't extricate myself. " It closed its mouth and shed a few tears from the lantern's eyes. The color is bright red, just like blood.
"You see, now the sludge has stuck to me, and I can't move. I can't live this life, I'd rather die! " It looked back at its own body, or that piece of sludge. It gave a cry of pain, and blood-like tears flowed down again. It said, "But I can't die, and I shouldn't die." I have been lying here for thousands of years. "
My heart ached with sympathy and pounded with fear. How many ten thousand years! Such a long time! How does it survive these days? I was coldly silent. But I can barely ask again: "How did you get stuck in the mud?"
"You don't have to ask me this. You will soon know for yourself, you stubborn young man. " It suddenly looked at me piteously, as if it had predicted that misfortune would befall me.
I didn't answer. He also said: "I want to break the order set by God, I want to change God's arrangement, I want to pursue what God has not given us, and I want to create a new condition. So I was punished by God. In order to pursue a full life, I flew over the flaming mountain, struggled with wild animals, and abandoned the honor of being the king in the water. But I finally failed to escape God's control, and was beaten all over with mud, sun and rain, wind and thunder. My head and face changed, and I became a monster. It's just that my heart is still the same as before, and it hasn't changed at all. "
"So, why did you stop me from moving forward? Do not let me pursue life? "
"Stubborn person, I don't want you to have bad luck. You are human, you can't live to be 10 thousand years old. You will die, you will die soon, and you will even get nothing and lose everything you have now. "
"I'm not afraid dead. I would rather die than live a rich life. I can't stay in the mud for tens of thousands of years like you. I wonder what's left of a life like yours? "
"Young man, you don't understand. I want to live, I want to live for a long time. I also look forward to the day when I can pull my body out of the mud and fly into the sky by thunder. Then I will continue to pursue a rich and fulfilling life. My heart is beating and my will will not be destroyed. My pursuit will continue until my volunteer is completed. "
As he spoke, his tears had dried up and there was no painful expression on his face. Now he is brave and excited. It also asked me confidently, "Do you want to continue now?"
"I want to go, that is, the volcano, the sea and the wild animals are waiting for me in front. I want to go!" I answered firmly, even enthusiastically.
The dragon burst out laughing. Before its laughter stopped, a thunderbolt suddenly fell in the clear sky, turning the surroundings into darkness. You can't see five fingers if you reach out. In the darkness, I heard a loud noise rising into the sky from below. Mud splashed with noise. I feel the ground on which I stand shaking. My hair is dizzy.
It's getting light. My eyes are unusually bright. The mire is gone. There is a grassland in front of us, and the new green is dotted with red and white flowers. I looked up at the sky, and there was a faint dark dragon shadow on the blue sky, and the scales were still raven.
Happiness in the world
Lai Ping Chiang
Snow White's stepmother is greedy, and so is the fisherman's wife. In fairy tales, greedy people usually have no good results. However, such a lesson did not arouse our fears. People today still don't know how to control their desires. This may be related to the overall atheistic atmosphere. Of course, there are also reactions to those in power who used "overall interests" to suppress the individual development and basic welfare of ordinary people.
When people abandon a simple lifestyle and let their desires run like wild horses, does anyone feel the danger-where will it lead us? This is a question that can't stand deep thought.
We are told that the resources on the earth are limited. Cultivated land is decreasing, clean water is decreasing, fresh air is decreasing, and energy is decreasing ... In short, the basic conditions for human survival are getting weaker day by day, and even the pink walls in rural areas are pleading with boring slogans: "Please leave an inch of cultivated land for future generations!" This is not shocking!
However, people still indulge themselves. The ambition of amassing wealth and all-consuming means are expanding day by day, so that many people lose their normal heart rate and blood pressure in front of credit cards and price lists that record astronomical figures. If we advocate any frugal lifestyle at this time, we will all be laughed at-this is an era of laughing at poverty rather than prostitution!
However, I still have to insist.
If we have the nutrition we need in a simple diet, we don't have to be ashamed that we can't go to luxurious banquets every day; If there are enough clothes in the wardrobe for us to wear all year round, then there is no need to be ashamed of the lack of those famous brands; If you can run around by bike, why buy a moped that not only consumes gasoline, but also emits harmful gases? If standing on the street green space can improve our health, why spend money to join various for-profit fitness clubs? ……
Advocating a frugal lifestyle is more than saving a few dollars. It will bring you close to the essence of life without getting lost in the bizarre surface. It will make you feel grateful for ordinary life, so that you won't kick over some basic rules that maintain the world because of your arrogant desire. It will make you pay more attention to your heart and enjoy more life fun in the aftertaste.
Most importantly, a frugal lifestyle can tell you how long the joy of this world can last.
