Excerpts from Li Jian's quotations

This is a passage from a video stored in the mobile phone, from Li Jian:

Many people will feel that they have some experience when they grow up, but I tell you, some experiences from the elderly are terrible and not worth learning and sharing. In fact, any experience is basically not universal. I still want to say it again: your own experience is the most important, and people should have their own lives. The happiest thing for a person is that only he himself and only you can get such a great happy life. This is a matter that requires wisdom, regardless of how high your power and money are.

People will have many fantasies, and some small fantasies will undoubtedly enrich and fill my life after they are realized. There are illusions, and there are some small illusions. When they come true, they are the gifts of life. I think these so-called life gifts are more important than those lofty ideals.

Some people say that youth is easy to get confused. How wonderful it is to get confused! Nobody knows much. Confusion is the beginning of self-knowledge. When I was a singer, I sang a song called When You Are Old. In fact, I will find that getting old is not terrible, but it is also terrible in a sense. What really makes you feel a little down-to-earth and substantial is your hobby. Actually, No Country for Old Men, in my opinion, still has no real love and dependence in spirit/soul. Sometimes I watch people who play chess/sing operas. It is good that he can get pleasure from this hobby, regardless of its quality. Because no industry should frown. The happiness brought by work is not so common, and there are not so many people who get happiness from work.

After listening to this passage, I can relax and face my confusion and anxiety frankly.
