I didn't understand it until I was forty-five years old.
After forty-five years old, I suddenly began to understand awe: fear of heaven and earth, fear of ghosts and gods, fear of time, fear of ancestors, fear of all kinds of laws in the world that are more difficult than life.
Up and down in four directions, the past is the present. I chewed the words of the ancients carefully and suddenly understood that in the vast universe, you and I are dust, dust in dust. In the face of time that has no beginning, no end and always moves forward, your life and mine are like crackles, weak and short.
Heaven and earth are eternal, you and I are both passers-by, and you and I are both passers-by. Even if life has reincarnation, you and I are also passers-by in a hurry at the ferry of reincarnation.
In this way, when people reach middle age, they must reduce their self-motivation to seven points and keep customers three points.
Only thoughtfulness can see through. Understand the importance of health through life and death; Understand the importance of entry through success or failure; Understand the importance of indifference through gains and losses. The saddest thing in life is to pursue those things that could have been given up, but ignore the most precious things in life. Life will inevitably be confused, the key is to understand where you come from and where you are going.
Only by being considerate can we look down. Look down on pain, look down on setbacks. Most of the pain in life is not caused by others, but by yourself. In fact, everyone will be attacked by two arrows: the first arrow is shot at you from the outside, which is the difficulty and frustration we often encounter; The second arrow is aimed at oneself, which is a negative emotion brought about by difficulties and setbacks. Be more indifferent, less vain, and truly live free.
Be considerate, see the world with a clean heart and live with a happy heart. No matter how beautiful the garden is, there are unclean things; No matter how happy a life is, there are unpleasant things. There are always advantages and disadvantages in this world. Where your attention is, your heart is there. Look at the world with a pure heart, and the noise of the world of mortals will not shake your heart; Live happily, and the disappointments in life will not affect your mood. Heaven and hell, just between a thought.
Have three points to the customer's heart, no longer delve into the dead angle. Flowers bloom in a spring, and people live forever. There are many things that we may not know why and what happened. However, people don't live because they understand all the mysteries and truths. People enjoy the taste of life because they ask, observe, feel, believe and doubt. I don't know, I don't know, there are expectations and disappointments, so everything is so charming.
Save three points of consideration and stop complaining. Life is always ups and downs, don't complain about anything, no matter how happy you are, you will have troubles; No matter how unlucky you are, you will be lucky. We think that life is like a play, either a tragedy or a comedy, but it is not. You can get out of tragedy, and in the end it is often a comedy. If you indulge in comedy, it often ends in tragedy. Laughter and crying are intertwined, and sorrow and joy are always reincarnation. When crying, learn to forget; When you laugh, share it with others. No one wants to cry and no one refuses to laugh.
If you are considerate, you will know how to go with the flow. Be a man with the mentality of being born and do things with the mentality of joining the WTO. "There is no way to live, and a breeze sends white clouds." Life has something to ask for, what I ask for and what I like; I don't care if I asked for it. If so, where will there be trouble in life? Suffering comes with fate, gains and losses come with fate, working with the attitude of "joining the WTO" and harvesting with the attitude of "being born", which is the highest realm of life with fate.
When people reach middle age, they must fear all kinds of laws that are harder than life. In the ferry of reincarnation, in the long river of time, no matter how we cherish and retain, or how we waste and abandon, we are all passers-by, and the field of life will eventually be silent and desolate, and we can't leave anything behind. Look at the tall buildings and the people around this city. Looking back, what will it be like here in one hundred, one thousand and ten thousand years? Even if the success and glory you have worked hard for in this life are engraved on the hardest stone, the eraser of time will slowly erase your name.
Heaven and earth are always there, and we are all passers-by in a hurry, just walking around the world. If you are considerate, you will know that Pepsi can solve thousands of troubles with a heartfelt smile. There are people chasing the house for gold. I just want to sit on the wooden bench in the greenhouse and enjoy myself. As long as the house is comfortable and convenient, why must there be a multi-storey villa? A song, a cup of tea, walking, and planting flowers can all enjoy the beauty of nature.
When people reach middle age, I will be considerate enough to stop being entangled and depressed.
: everything will be fine if you can be a man!
When people do the right thing, everything goes well.
"Because everything happens for a reason, everything happens for a reason. So, since it has become a fact, why talk about it? " Forget what you have lost and cherish what you have. What will happen in the future depends on your efforts today. No one can criticize a hard-working life. No matter what kind of life, as long as you try your best, you should have no regrets and no need for "if".
Sludge can grow lotus flowers, cold doors can cultivate filial sons, and red furnaces can be turned into steel. Difficulties can make great men. Bitterness can make sweet, and trouble can turn bodhi. Life is like a wave, with peaks and valleys. At the top, sing slowly. Don't cry when you are down. Wave after wave, wave after wave is the other side of life.
Everyone should remember that we have to abide by a law, and no one is an exception. This is what we deserve. Everyone should take full responsibility for his actions. It's no use pushing it on others. You can't push it off. No one will carry it for you.
No one can hurt you, no one can save you, it's useless to appreciate you, and it's useless to hit you. Everything is of my own making. This is the law of life that we need to know.
On the big stage of life, no matter who you are, it is impossible to always have a smooth road to flowers. There will always be thorns and bumps. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, the road is long, and it's Xiu Yuan. In adversity, only by persisting in hope can we get out of the predicament.
Anyway, we are all the protagonists in the movies of our own lives. The arrangement of fate has become the help of our practice. Have beautiful thoughts, adhere to faith, carry forward positive energy, be grateful to people around you, and gain purity and joy.
If there is no responsibility in love, love becomes selfish. If love is not restrained, it is easy to indulge. If there is no equality in love, love becomes charity. If there is no respect in love, love becomes a tyranny. If there is no joy in love, love cannot be true love. If love can't be aboveboard, love is the embodiment of sin.
Yes, just enough. Watch, only one piece can tell you the time; There are two things that are hard to be sure. Food, if eaten well, can strengthen the body, and if eaten too much, it will hurt the stomach. Happiness doesn't need much, just be happy. Pursuing too much happiness makes you tired physically and mentally, and no amount of happiness is a burden.
We sometimes mistakenly think that what we can't get is precious and what we have is cheap. What we can't get, because of the lack of in-depth understanding, is just a beautiful illusion, showing us a gorgeous appearance.
If one day, you get close to it and know its truth, you will find that it is so similar to what we have. Don't stay in your imagination, all you have is your happiness.
The most tiring thing is often not the distance of the road, but the depression in my heart; The most decadent thing is often not the bumpy future, but the loss of self-confidence; The most painful thing is often not the misfortune of life, but the disillusionment of one's own hopes; The most desperate thing is often not the blow of setbacks, but the death of one's own heart; So look down on everything, relax a little, and everything will get better gradually.
The emotional ups and downs in our daily life will inevitably affect the people around us; Being moody is also destined to destroy others' trust in themselves.
Therefore, knowing how to be a man is sometimes more important than knowing how to do things. Even if you don't know how to behave, at least learn to control your emotions and don't let them control you.
The eight-character policy of being a man: faith, kindness, forbearance and benevolence.
: real art
Looking at this foreigner who speaks blunt Chinese, a nasty thought suddenly rises in my heart. It was only worth 800 yuan's paintings. I even said a price I couldn't believe: "4,000 yuan!"
Having said that, I actually regret it a little, for fear that the foreigner will leave, but to my surprise, the foreigner actually read this eight-horse map very seriously, and that expression will only appear when some antique connoisseurs identify antiques on TV. After a while, he looked up and said to me, "Two thousand!"
I didn't expect this foreigner to bargain, but it's no wonder that we give as much as we want from others, isn't it? So he won't be a fool? I deliberately showed a look of embarrassment, and the expression on my face even doubted that I would not be an actor. I'm sorry. I gritted my teeth and said, "OK, just the price of 3.5 thousand!" " "The foreigner simply said," two thousand! Thirty! "
I was taken aback, thirty, two thousand, that's sixty thousand! This is not a small sum of money. I couldn't help squinting at him again! Dressed in casual clothes, blond hair and sky-blue eyes, I look like a blue sea, and my face seems a little shy. Those eyes are just like the big boy next door in Seeds of Love. I can't help feeling a little ashamed of what I have done, but on second thought, I am "proud" of my "patriotic action" when Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing! Eight-Nation Alliance's descendants, who don't pit them pit!
"Deal! Come and get it after a month! " I smiled and said that he readily took out a few hundred yuan and handed it to me, saying, "This is the deposit. I will pick up the painting in a month. I hope you won't let me down! " All right! ""no problem! Then you can come! "
A month passed quickly. I tried to draw a few pictures at first, but after a long time, I always drew one every day, which made me feel a little bored. But I still insisted on painting 30 paintings for the reward of 60 thousand yuan!
American trustworthiness is perfectly interpreted at this moment. He came to my gallery this morning. I held a cup of tea, but he waved his hand to thank me and asked me to take out the painting. I gave him thirty volumes. The young American boy opened the examination paper carefully. Two hours later, he picked out seven paintings.
I'm confused. Looking at my questioning face, he smiled meaningfully, opened the seven paintings he picked out and put them at one end of the table. Then he took out some paintings he didn't like and made an invitation gesture with me.
There is no difference between several paintings put together. Even the paintings he doesn't like are even better than the paintings he picked out in terms of pen and ink and color composition. But when I look at them carefully, they are not full of charm. The eight horses he picked out, either whistling or galloping, with flying manes and vivid expressions. Look at my later paintings, although in composition and color.
Suddenly, I found that although the horse in the later paintings gave people the feeling of looking up at the sky and hissing, there was a lazy look in his eyes, just like a person who was used to working suddenly made a fortune and became a rich man. He began to enjoy it all day, but he lost his original fighting spirit. This may be related to my mood of painting at that time. At first, I was able to insist on serious creation. I may find it convenient to draw later, but I am very casual. Or maybe I think people don't know how to draw at all, so I feel tired and lazy. I just repeat the daily rules and regulations!
I immediately put away my underestimation of him, and sweat ran down my forehead. He picked up the seven volumes and shook his head in disappointment: "I can only pay you for these seven paintings, and the rest …" He shook his head and stopped talking.
I naturally understand what others mean. Of course, the rest is disdain. At this point, I can't have the cheek to say my painting is good. I sincerely said to him, "It doesn't matter. Since you don't like them, I'll tell you. I won't ask you for money for these paintings. I will give them to you! " In my heart, I have a kind of gratitude to him, grateful that others can find fault with me, otherwise I may only live in complacency all my life.
He disagreed and insisted on paying me 14 thousand yuan. Under my repeated insistence, I finally got 10 thousand yuan from him. To my regret, after he left, I remembered that I didn't ask his name. ...
Sometimes, a drop of water can reflect a touch of bright color, and sometimes, a seemingly insignificant thing can reflect a profound truth.
