Reading notes-
For the rest of my life, fight for what I want and give up what I no longer need.
As the old saying goes, life has eight sufferings, namely, birth, old age, illness, death, love and parting, resentment and hatred, ambition and unwillingness.
Walking in the world, only by knowing how to get rid of it can you be cured and not sink into the sea of suffering.

What you can't do is broken.
There is such a story in the long history.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, liked Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much. Since he found the original preface to Lanting in the eloquent monk's place, he sent people to ask for it many times.
The debater and the monk insisted: I don't know the whereabouts of the original.
Emperor Taizong decided to deceive him and sent Xiao Jiqiao, who knew calligraphy and painting, to pretend to be a scholar and approach the eloquent monk.
Xiaoji gradually got acquainted with the debaters and kept close contact with them.
On this day, Xiao Ji took out several works by Wang Xizhi, enjoyed them with the eloquent monks, and attracted the eloquent monks to take down the original Preface to Lanting from the beam.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ji put it in his sleeve immediately after reading it, and also took out the relevant collection letters of Taizong.
Eloquence lost its authenticity. With shock, it became ill and died in less than a year.
The writer Bellamy once said:
"Life is a game of chess, and there is nothing we can do about winning or losing. When you are confused, you are mostly in the bureau. When you realize it, people are already outside the bureau. "
In life, some things are bound to be lost, and some things are impossible.
If you always dwell on what you have done, in the end, you will no longer have a hard time with things, but with yourself.
There is a line in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: "When you hold your hands tightly, there is nothing inside;" When you open your hands, the world is in your hands. "
It is the best way to let go of what you can't do in life at the right time.
If it is broken, it will be broken, and the baggage will be thrown away, so that we can easily go into battle and go further.

People who have no chance in life should give up.
San Mao wrote: The beauty of time lies in its inevitable passage.
Believe it. So is life.
Not everyone who comes into your life can last forever.
Heard such a story.
Two young monks live on two mountains respectively.
They often meet on the way down the mountain to carry water, and over time they become good friends, agreeing on the time to carry water together every day, rain or shine.
One day, a little monk didn't go down the mountain to fetch water. Another young monk guessed that he probably overslept during his lunch break.
However, the next day, the third day ... for several days in a row, little novice monk didn't wait for his friend.
He was in a hurry and thought, My little friend must be ill. I'm going to see him.
He climbed the mountain of his little friend, only to find his little friend having fun with a group of young monks in the temple.
Little novice monk came forward and asked, "I haven't waited for you to fetch water these days. I thought you were ill. I came to see you. "
Who knows, the little friend took him to the backyard and pointed to a well and said:
"I have been digging this well some time ago, and finally there is water recently. You won't have to carry water down the mountain in the future. "
Little novice monk was speechless and lost his way down the mountain.
He couldn't figure out why the other party suddenly dug a well when he agreed to carry water together.
He went to master to express his distress.
Master smiled indifferently: Fate in the world has its own destiny. Fate has brought us together, but it has separated us. No one can live without anyone.
Little novice monk said, but I still can't let go.
Master asked him to pick up the teacup on the table and pour hot water into it.
The water always overflowed, and the little novice monk got burned and let go, and the cup fell to the ground and broke.
Master said: Life is like a river, what should come will always come, and what should go will always drift away. Nothing is unacceptable and nothing is impossible to give up. If it hurts, it will naturally loosen your hand.
The feelings in the world are the same. Not only friendship, but also love.
Just like Gong Er, who always liked IP Man in the movie "The Grandmaster", finally said goodbye to IP Man: "I liked you, but I can only go here."
It is better to forget those who are destined to miss.
If you give up, you will gain something. All the rubs in life are actually to make room for the arrival of precious things.

My heart is troubled and obsessed when I leave.
Hui Kai, a monk without doors in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem:
There are flowers in spring, moons in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.
If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time on earth.
Li Shutong is the only person who lives the happiest life in the world.
Feng Zikai once described Li Shutong's life like this:
When I was a teenager, I was a childe, and I liked handsome childe.
Be a celebrity in middle age and like celebrities;
Do drama, like an actor; Learn oil painting, like an artist;
Learn the piano like a musician; Run a newspaper, like an editor;
Be a teacher in his later years, like a teacher; Be a monk, like a monk.
Li Shutong was born in a very wealthy family. He enjoyed a high reputation in his first half of life and made great academic achievements.
However, at the peak, he left the worldly prosperity and turned and fled into an empty door.
In the second half of my life, I have a blue lamp, a scroll of scriptures, a plum tree and a Buddha.
He wrote: "Brilliance will surely return to dullness".
Mr. Cao Xueqin, who was born in a rich family, suffered property seizure when he was young.
However, for the rest of my life, in the poverty of "the whole family eats porridge and drinks on credit forever", I pulled away from the ups and downs of the first half of my life, separated love from hate, and freed myself from the destruction of prosperity.
With a calm heart, I leaned over and asked every life in the Grand View Garden, and finally wrote the classic Dream of Red Mansions handed down from generation to generation.
Sean in the fog of history, after helping Liu Bang win the world, chose to give up his power, retire and travel around the world.
Looking back at three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty, only he can preserve our sanity.
Just as Huang Tingjian wrote when he visited Liangshan Taoist Temple: How many Chang 'an fame and fortune guests, the organs are not as tired as you.
When people are young, it is often like what Wong Kar-wai said in the movies: When you see a mountain, you want to know what is behind it.
All the way over the mountains and mountains, the scenery is seen all over, and finally I understand that prosperity is vicissitudes of life and noise is dust.
For life, you can only enjoy the blessings of life if you have the courage to return to zero.
You don't need to care too much for the rest of your life. Only by getting rid of the obsession that bothers you can you smile at life and become smart.
I like the realm of famous old trees very much:
There is a cloud floor in the world, and there is no sorrow in the wind and rain.
What is the gain and loss of fame and fortune? Only bow to flowers in this life.
The more things a person can put down, the richer he is.
An empty cup can hold good tea; Hollow can hold everything.
In the face of complicated life, only by knowing how to delete the complex and simplify it can we live without being tired; Only by keeping your heart full can you be self-sufficient and stable.
For the rest of my life, fight for what I want and give up what I no longer need.
