The world belongs to oneself and has nothing to do with others.
Plato said in the Republic:
"What we have been looking for is what we already have; We always look around, but we miss what we want, which is why we can't get what we want so far. "
In this complicated world, much ado about nothing, the wise protect themselves.
We must understand that the real person in this world is himself.

There is a saying in the Mid-Levels Anthology:
"Reading a hundred books is better than reading a favorite book ten times;
After reading a book ten times, it is better to reflect on your own life experience.
Reading yourself is not as good as reading others. "
People who live clearly often know themselves through experience and become themselves through reflection.
Lin Qingxuan had won all the literary prizes in Taiwan Province Province before he was 32 years old, and at the same time became the editor-in-chief of China Times.
He also gradually became busy and became unrestrained.
At that time, I made friends with Gu Long and often asked him for manuscripts.
But the manuscript was given only when the wine was put in. It happened that Lin Qingxuan loved to drink, so they often compared alcohol consumption and even poured Shaoxing wine into the washbasin to fight with each other.
However, noisy days are always short-lived.
Lin Qingxuan's life has changed one after another: his wife left home and his friend Gu Long died of cirrhosis. ...
He is disheartened and intends to re-examine himself and reflect on life.
He resolutely quit his job, went to the mountains to study, kept company with himself, and returned to the world after nearly three years.
He said that after this period of introspection, his heart became calmer and fuller, and he was more comfortable in the face of changes in the world.
Speaking of drinking, he also changed his usual habit of binge drinking and thought that "drinking" was the best way to drink.
Socrates once said, "An unexamined life is not worth living."
Smart people will see their own shortcomings, and stupid people will only see their own advantages.

I saw a sentence in the book: "See the direction clearly in introspection and go forward bravely in uncertainty."
Dare to break through your ceiling to complete the gorgeous transformation.
Last year, I stayed at home because of the epidemic and watched a documentary called "The Living Method of China People".
In one episode, the hero is Kong Longzhen, a truck driver who loves painting.
He loved painting since childhood, but the school didn't offer art classes, which made parents think that everything that the school didn't teach was crooked.
Rebellious period, poor academic performance,/kloc-dropped out of school at the age of 0/5, and drove taxis, buses and trucks successively.
In the car accident in do or die, he realized:
"If I don't need painting to realize the value of life, I really can't find the belief that supports my struggle."
After the robbery, he put the drawing board and brush directly in the cab and seized every opportunity to draw while waiting for the goods and driving.
On the morning when generate was inspired, he even canceled his car-making plan and buried himself in creation.
Sometimes faced with "what can a truck driver who has not graduated from junior high school draw?" He laughed it off.
He doesn't know what it will be, but he just wants to stick to his beliefs.
It was not until 20 15 that Kong Longzhen's works were exhibited at "Connor International Art Exhibition" in Denmark.
It is worth mentioning that this is the fourth China person invited to participate in the exhibition after Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and Ye.
Some people say that the biggest obstacle in life is yourself. Once you cross it, it is Ma Pingchuan.
It's easy to stand still, but those who insist on breaking through themselves will see more scenery.
Real growth is constantly better than the past.
In the movie "Beyond", Hao Beyond said this sentence:
"Do you know what is the best part of 100 meter? After the gunshot, there is only you and the finish line in this world. "

The famous actor Faye Yu once said:
"An independent and confident person will never pin himself on others. Life is my own, why should I rely on others to get satisfaction? "
Once you live in the evaluation of others, that is the beginning of losing yourself.
Only by caring about your feelings can a track live high.
As we all know, Mary is not a traditional aesthetic beauty.
She is anxious, afraid that others will mind the spots on her face and her slim figure.
Even later, she tried to be what others wanted her to be, and lived exactly as others wanted her to be.
Even with the fire of Goodbye Mr. Loser, she didn't get rid of this mentality.
At a film and television meeting, some fans pointed out: "You are too fat, it's time to lose weight."
After listening to this, Mary really lost to size S and her weight dropped to double digits.
But everyone has long acknowledged that she is a "female man", so when she posted real photos, there were two voices.
One voice spoke of her "too many pictures", and another voice reminded her "Don't be too beautiful. It's not funny if it's too beautiful. "
She finally found out that it is difficult to adjust the opinions of many people.
Since it is impossible to please everyone, let's be happy.
In 20 18, despite the opposition of the brokerage company and relatives and friends, she still insisted on cutting her ultra-short hair:
"I used to live for others, but this year I decided to live for myself."
She also photographed men's clothes to show her charm and get rid of the label that comedians dress up ugly and funny.
Not only that, she resolutely married her boyfriend who was 10 years younger than herself. The two agreed not to care about the evaluation of the outside world and concentrate on living their own lives.
The world belongs to oneself and has nothing to do with others.
We don't need to care about the eyes of onlookers, what we must learn is to appreciate ourselves.
Think of a classic philosophy of life of Mr. Cai Lan:
"Compared with the whole universe, we are only a matter of decades, and we hope to be happier. I learned this truth at a very young age and have been pursuing happiness. "
Everyone's life is short, and the person who should please most is himself.
Only by taking this course to please yourself can we truly accept ourselves and have a stronger heart.
Writer Feng Tang once wrote:
"Dare to be yourself, dare to express yourself, and dare to please yourself, in order to gain a foothold in this troubled times and live a high pattern."
Click a compliment, live the life you like and live the life you want.
