Slowing down will lengthen the journey...

Time flies , please slow down, the days are long, please let go of your impetuous heart, the years are long, please listen to a soothing music, the world is beautiful, please smell the fragrance of flowers on the roadside, occasionally raise your head, please look at the white clouds floating in the blue sky .

Sometimes, slowing down is to go further.

We are all men and women who fell into the world of mortals by mistake. We stepped into the torrent of the metropolis and moved forward so fast that we were afraid of being eliminated by society.

When we come to a city, we seem to only know its name, Beijing or Shanghai. We don’t have time to explore the culture of a city, its past, present and future. We only know this city. The city has tall buildings, bustling traffic, colorful neon lights, and a job that highlights youth and provides for the family. We seem to be important officials of the country. We have endless work and endless entertainment every day. We have no time to exercise, There is no time for maintenance, no time to contact old friends, and no time to get together with friends who live in the same city. We are in our twenties and thirties, but it seems that we have lived several lives in the world.

But even so, we did not appreciate the morning sun and sunset. The beautiful scenery of sunset and dusk seemed to be in a distant picture scroll, in a beautiful ancient poem, but not in this world.

We think that we will be so "busy" in this life. In order to comfort ourselves, we find a perfect excuse for our busyness. We are creating the future, but we have no idea what day the future will be. Know.

We read Chicken Soup for the Soul and know that life can never stand waiting, but we say to ourselves, wait until next month to start working out, wait until next year to start traveling, wait until the mind is calm to start reading... But when all When the planned time came, we said: "We don't have time, we will talk about it later", but God knows, how many times will we have in the future?

Haruki Shugami said: "I have always thought that people grow old slowly, but this is not true. People grow old in an instant." This sentence seems to be talking about the understanding of life after experiencing joys and sorrows. Suddenly I realized that this is not talking about us ordinary people.

We always say goodbye to a harsh winter and welcome spring with joy, thinking that spring is the beginning and we can all start over again, but in the blink of an eye, spring is gone and summer flowers fade. , the autumn leaves are falling, white snow is falling from the sky, and another severe winter is coming. As we ring the New Year's bell, we sigh: "Another year is over."

We always have to learn to enjoy life when a natural disaster occurs, because we don’t know which will come first, the future or the accident. When an acquaintance dies, we always wipe away our tears and say, life is impermanent and cannot be changed. Too busy, but after that special time period, we began to be in the torrent of the city again, shuttling among tens of millions of people, busy...

Nowadays, the times are developing too fast, everyone is very irritable, and things come in a hurry, but they are also in a hurry. In fact, learning to slow down is not a kind of survival ability.

Occasionally, I take a break and walk into a coffee shop that plays soft music with a newly bought book. I find a corner and quietly drink a cup of coffee and read for a while. The strong aroma of coffee And the faint scent of books slowly drifted into my nose, which was so pleasant.

You can read history and travel through time and space to see the five thousand years of expansion and dynasty changes of the Chinese nation; you can read world literature to understand Western culture, and you can also read the biographies of people who have left their mark on history. , explore how they left their names in the vast universe and fulfilled eternity and eternity.

When studying, the mind is on the road, while traveling is the body on the road. Even if you are busy throughout your life, you have to travel. You can go to see the sea, stand barefoot on the beach, close your eyes slightly and feel the whole sea. The feeling of coming here; you can go to an ancient town, walk on the bluestone road, and touch the moss-covered ancient houses with your hands. Each house has a story that may be beautiful or tragic, but with the passage of time, the story is submerged in the long river of history. It has inspired countless reveries for future generations; you can also go abroad, indulge yourself in a foreign country, and appreciate the customs and customs of a foreign country.

Life is a long wandering journey. The fast-paced life only urges people to work hard, not to let you immerse yourself in busyness and never turn around. We can never catch up with success only to find out Already suffering from serious illness, why bother starting in the first place?

Learn to slow down, even if you just enjoy the scenery on the street; or stand on the roof of a building and watch the clouds roll in the sky; or enjoy the beautiful scenery of sunset and dusk, you must know this The world has a different kind of beauty.

A mountain is the accumulation of thousands or tens of thousands of years, a sea is the convergence of billions of water droplets, and it takes ten or even more years for a tree to grow from a seedling to a towering tree. Nothing can be rushed. Come, slow down and maybe you will see a different life.
