How to evaluate a person's makeup level?
Lin Qingxuan has his own ideas. He once said: "vulgar makeup is the makeup on the face, farther makeup is the makeup of the spirit, and first-class makeup is the makeup of life, that is, changing temperament."
Before the age of 40, most of our looks are determined by genes and are rendered by makeup; After the age of 40, with the different experience and mentality of everyone, great changes will take place in appearance and temperament.
Zeng Guofan said: "People's temperament is hard to change because of life, but reading can change their temperament." How many people try their best to pursue beautiful skin, but forget to "make up" for their own spirit.
It is difficult to be a temperament, but it is more beautiful only if you practice both inside and outside. Those books that are integrated into life are the best makeup artists in life.
The best makeup
What is temperament? This is a feeling between words and manners.
Many people confuse temperament with appearance, and think that it is better to change temperament by reading than by making up or even shaping. But the face is skin deep and the temperament is backbone. The true temperament is not the extroversion of high-value clothes, nor is it just the posture of standing loosely and sitting in the clock, but knowing how to live when you are steady and not fragile when you are frustrated.
I am full of poetry and painting. My temperament does not necessarily come from reading, but reading can really improve my temperament.
In the novel The Elegance of the Hedgehog, there is a janitor named Renee, who describes herself like this: "I am indifferent to others and people don't like me, but they can accept me because I fully meet the role of janitor. Ugly, old and bitter. "
Later she found her own "secret garden"-the library. Since then, whenever she has leisure time, she will spend every minute reading. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, a dirty and untidy janitor seems to tear off his mask after "off work" and looks like a refined scholar.
Through reading, she got rid of spiritual poverty. She knows herself better than anyone else and what kind of life she wants. Finally, she changed her description: "I am poor and ugly, but unfortunately, I am also a smart woman who is self-enclosed." Intellectually, I am an invincible goddess. "
Cultivate self-cultivation, cultivate temperament, cultivate talents, cultivate experience, calm your face with a thunderous heart, and be careful of anticlimactic and roses in your nose. Many times, we can't avoid the skinny and muddy reality, but reading is good spiritual food and nutrition.
Time makes you old, and your face will eventually experience the abrasion of years, but books can keep your soul on the road and shine more and more brightly.
Best investment
I saw a question on the Internet: "I read many books, but most of them were forgotten later. What's the point of reading like this? "
The following highly praised answer is: "I ate a lot when I was a child, but now I can't remember what I ate." But what is certain is that some of them have grown into my bones and flesh. "
People who love reading will not only look at life from the utilitarian and superficial "useful" perspective. The beauty of life, the kindness of human beings, poetry and distance are all what they yearn for. People who don't study, even if they have traveled all over the world, can only be regarded as "postmen".
If you save money, you may not see the effect in a short time, but in the long run, you will gain a lot. Reading, for knowledge, for poverty, for understanding the past, is better than yesterday's self.
Reading is the most effective investment for yourself. Everyone's time is limited, and everyone's experience is also very different, and the knowledge in the book is to nourish our nutrients quickly.
"Many roads I have seen in those years, many people I have seen and many books I have read have all been forgotten, but their nutrients have remained, in our temperament, in our conversation, in the dribs and drabs of life, in the words."
Maybe life will deceive you, but the books you read will not; Maybe time will slip away secretly, but the books you read will accompany you forever.
"There are poetry books in the belly, and the most important thing is that books can go far."
Beauty will eventually age with the passage of time, but elegant temperament will never wither, it will only last as long as Micari's old wine. A good book can let you meet another world, another life, and even another self.
