Keeping life fresh
Author: Yu Dan
A woman’s age does not depend on the number of wrinkles on her face, but on whether her body is light. A woman with a light body does not age, even though her face is wrinkled.
I remembered a story: There was a king who was very picky and could never marry a suitable wife. One day he met a girl who was as spotless as a fairy by the forest and fell in love at first sight. He wanted to marry her as his queen, and the girl agreed, but there was one condition: she had to go back to the forest at 4 p.m. every day. It only took one hour, and she would definitely come out at 5 p.m. Don't ask why, and don't follow her. The king said yes and took the girl back to the palace. The young queen suddenly won the love of everyone. She gave birth to children for the king and coordinated things inside and outside the palace. She was not sad or irritable, and everything was in order. The king thought she was a perfect woman. . What was unshakable was that she had to go back to the forest at that time every day.
More than twenty years later, the children have grown up, and the middle-aged queen still looks the same as before, young, soft, and bright; she does not lose her temper, and she has remained like this for more than twenty years. The king became more and more frightened, feeling that he was not marrying a mortal. He suspected that she was bewitched when she returned to the forest every day. That strong curiosity tortured him and made him break his promise. Finally one day he quietly followed the queen into the forest. He watched the queen walking and jumping, and came to a small river. There were stones and flowers on the green grass. The queen took off her diamond-encrusted crown, took off her gorgeous robe, and then took off all her clothes one by one. Until he was completely naked, he sat on the grass. The queen watched the clouds in the sky for a while, played in the stream, smelled the flowers, and listened to the birds. The light was still very good at that time, and the light that enveloped her was particularly soft and full. There are no immortals and no magic. When she was a child, she put on her clothes one by one, put on her crown, and skipped out of the forest while holding up her skirts.
In fact, she just did the same thing every day for twenty years. This is the secret of turning a mortal into a fairy: letting herself be like a virgin or a baby, returning to nature. At that moment she was not a queen, a mother, or any social status. She was just a virgin, as close to her own life as a cow or a sheep is to green grass. So I have been thinking, how do people find a way to preserve life? I feel that whether you learn from cows and sheep or give yourself an hour of silence like a fairy, you are giving yourself a reason to preserve your life by changing the coordinates of life.
People have complicated feelings about growth. Days are moving forward, but people are also aging. In fact, the older you get, the more you think about this issue, which is how to keep people's lives fresh in the flow of time. What is the freshness of life? I think there are a lot of old people, and their innocence can tempt young people.
I sometimes think, what can we do to resist the flow of light? Today is a materialistic age, and women are afraid of aging. Cosmetics on the outside, nutritional solutions on the inside, and lots of vitamins are just the icing on the cake. What really helps you when you need it is that you have the ability to keep your life renewed, a curiosity, and a hands-on approach. Rather than the happiness of consumption, there is a kind of nourishment of life, which can have a real meaning and keep your life in a fresh state forever
Dig a well
There are two A monk lives next door. The so-called next door refers to the mountain next door. They live in temples on two adjacent mountains. There was a stream between the two mountains, so the two monks would go down the mountain to fetch water from the stream at the same time every day. Over time, they became good friends.
In this way, five years have passed unknowingly while carrying water every day. Suddenly one day the monk on the mountain on the left did not go down to carry water. The monk on the mountain on the right thought: "He must have overslept." He didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, the monk on the mountain on the left still did not go down to carry water the next day, and the same happened on the third day. After a week, it was still the same, until a month later, the monk on the mountain on the right finally couldn't stand it anymore. He thought to himself: "My friend may be sick. I want to visit him and see if I can help." So. He climbed up the mountain on the left to visit his old friend.
When he arrived at the temple on the mountain on the left, he was shocked when he saw his old friend, because his old friend was doing Tai Chi in front of the temple, and he didn't look like someone who hadn't drank water for a month. He asked curiously: "You haven't gone down the mountain to carry water for a month. Can you not drink water?"
The monk on the mountain on the left said: "Come on, come on, I will take you there." Look." So he took the monk from the mountain on the right to the backyard of the temple, pointed to a well and said, "For the past five years, I have taken the time to dig this well after finishing my homework every day. Even if I am very busy sometimes, I can dig this well. No matter how much it is. Now that I have finally dug out the water from the well, I no longer have to go down the mountain to fetch water. I can have more time to practice my favorite Tai Chi."
No matter how much salary we receive from the company. , that’s all water carrying. And seize the time after get off work to dig a well of your own. In the future, when you get older and your physical strength is no longer as strong as that of young people, you will still have water to drink, and you can drink it leisurely.
Happiness in front of your eyes
God does not allow children to always remember the deep-seated love of their parents, which will prevent them from growing up; nor does God allow parents to always remember the sacrifices they have made for their children, then It will cause the elderly to fall into the self-pity trap of expecting rewards. Children are just the joy before the eyes of the middle-aged people.
I wrote a few articles and asked a few young friends to read them. They only glanced at them and concluded: "This is for the elderly. I will read it when I am old!" Makes me depressed. Because I wrote it precisely for young friends. If you are lucky or unlucky enough to live to be as old as me, you will have no time to watch anymore, you will only have time to be upset.
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was a popular story about fierce debates in Congress over improving prisons or improving schools. Everyone knows the importance of schools; prisons are places where criminals are imprisoned, and it doesn't matter if they are crude. However, just before the vote, a forward-looking congressman said something that turned the situation around and unanimously approved prison improvements.
The sentence is "Is it possible for you to enter school in this life?" - Readers who can't understand this humor are in luck, you are far away from the horror of witchcraft. In this piece of humor, this forward-looking congressman reminds everyone:
"You may not go to school again, but you may go to jail again!" This is why I wrote these articles The reason for the article. Young friends must understand that I am not appealing for the elderly, but I hope that friends who are still young understand that if you do not die young, then I am afraid you must be old.
To be clear, I suggest that young parents who are new parents should eradicate the anticipatory psychology of "raising children to prepare for old age" in traditional culture. It is useless to just talk about it. You must have a deep natural mentality. This is not to say that it is sinful to accept gifts or feedback from children, but it is important to understand that it is not easy to do. Children have their own children to raise and their own world to face, and they cannot take care of them all. Moreover, love is downward-inclined, except for the Confucian saints who act against nature and use the tragedy of "Guo Ju to bury his son" to incite destruction. Normally, people love their children more than their parents.
However, parents do not have to be as solemn as statues. The propaganda says: "Raising children is a responsibility!" The warmth of mutual help is as cold as a steel plate. If one day, the child suddenly opens his eyes and warns the old man: "You have the responsibility to support me until I graduate from college!" the world will turn into a glacier. If one day, parents drive their adult children out of the door, slap their hands and say: "My responsibility is over, you should never come back!" Or one day, their adult children walk away. If we don't know each other when we meet in the future, then we I'm afraid there is no longer an old man problem, but only a jackal problem.
Human beings have a special kind of emotion, which is a kind of gene specially given by nature, which creates long-term care between parents and children. Responsibilities are fulfilled sometimes, but care is endless.
Put family affection in an appropriate position, and neither party will be disappointed. When people reach middle age, family interaction is a period of happiness. Don't give it too serious meaning, and don't treat it as insignificant. God does not allow children to always remember the deep-seated love of their parents, which will prevent them from growing up; nor does God allow parents to always remember the sacrifices they have made for their children, which will make the elderly fall into self-pity in anticipation of rewards. And, in fact, the child has already used baby talk, hugged, and said "Mom, I love you so much!" and "Dad, I want to marry a good husband like Dad!" It has completely repaid him! Yes, it totally paid off. Children are just the joy before the eyes of the middle-aged people.
Those who once had the joy in front of them and cherished it will be much happier in Laojing.

Mustard Seed
In ancient times, there was a king who ordered someone to write a history for him. A ten-volume history was completed, and the king was not satisfied. Condensed into five volumes, the king was still dissatisfied. Eventually his history was shortened to "His birth, life, and death".
This king is a great mustard seed. We should look to Him, and at the same time we should read again an ancient story recorded in the Talmud.
One day, the wise man Keni saw a man planting carob trees on the road. He asked: "How many years will it take for this tree to bear fruit?"
The man replied: "Seventy years."
The wise man asked again: "Do you believe that you can still live for seven years?" Ten years?"
The man replied: "I have seen carob trees in the world. Just like my predecessors planted trees for me, I also want to plant trees for my descendants. , Why shouldn’t I work for the future? ”
We are mustard seeds, but each of us comes to the world with our own secret mission. Maybe we can all fearlessly engrave on our tombstones: "He was born, lived, and died."
Results are more important than rules
If you don't give yourself any restrictions, then There are no limits to limit you.
People who know too much also have too many limitations. Instead, they are constrained by themselves and miss opportunities for development. Truly successful people are not without principles, but know how not to be limited by principles. They are result-oriented, because results are ten thousand times more important than principles.
People often don’t know what they want, so they make many jokes similar to “buying a casket for a pearl”. To stick to the so-called rules and miss the results without knowing it is the biggest failure in the world.
Please remember that your boss only pays attention to your performance, and hard work without results is worthless. We must establish a results-first mentality and understand that results determine everything. The entire team then works together to get results. If the individual does not value the results, the individual will have no future; if the team does not value the results, the team will have no value in existence.
Rules are to obey and serve the purpose, what life wants is the result
The details of the master
Although Qian Zhongshu is a famous scholar all over the world , but childishness followed him throughout his life.
When his daughter was still a baby, he would often draw a big painted face on her belly when she was asleep; or lay mines under her bed: toys, mirrors, brushes, writing brushes, and inkstones. , even brooms and dustpans. When his daughter screamed, he smiled proudly. Once, he fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. He lived in the same hospital as Xia Yan. On Xia Yan's birthday, his daughter also gave Qian Zhongshu a cake. Qian Zhongshu, whose condition had just improved, opened his mouth and ate heartily while sitting on the edge of the bed, chatting with the people who came to see him. Suddenly he discovered the reporter's camera lens, so he lifted up the quilt and covered the person and the cake in it, completely ignoring the cream all over his head and body.
In the mid-1980s, Lu Wenfu was elected vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, but he never left Suzhou. Soon, the work unit was divided into rooms, but the person handling the matter didn't know how big a Beijing official he was and what level he should be treated at. I called Beijing to ask, and the person there said vaguely that it was equivalent to the deputy provincial level. The local government was very busy at this time. Suzhou did not have such a big official at that time, so it gave Lu Wenfu a small villa with a separate courtyard and a small car. After he was assigned a new residence, he made a joke the first time he received foreign guests at home. That day, he personally brought the foreign guests home in a car. Because the boundary of his house is too narrow, cars can only be pulled over to the side and people can only get off from the outside. He who is sitting outside should get off first. Out of politeness, he insisted on being modest, but the guest was inside and couldn't get out. The international friend had no choice but to say: "I'm sorry!" Then he stretched his legs and finally stepped in front of him.
The famous calligraphy and painting artist Huang Yongyu has been fond of painting since he was a child. As a teenager, he was famous in the painting world for his outstanding woodcut works and was known as "one of China's three prodigies". That year, Master Huang Yongyu came to Beijing with his experienced soul and soul-stirring paintings, and lived in the former residence of "Mustard" in Jingxin Lane. This is a house that has been dormant for many years. There is not even a single window on the four walls. As soon as you walk in, you will feel depressed and depressed. However, Huang Yongyu did not dislike this cabin. He laughed and took out a piece of white drawing paper and stuck it on the wall, and then casually drew a window on it, which looked like a real window. He suddenly felt that the sunlight outside the house was pouring into the small house like running water, and everything in the house immediately seemed extremely vivid.
Life is actually a collection of details. A casual detail can reflect a person's self-cultivation, character and inner state. Qian Zhongshu, Lu Wenfu and Huang Yongyu can all be regarded as master-level figures, but they acted as they pleased in life. Over time, they turned into persistence in life, just like the tranquility, peace, and kind of life in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It is light and clear, and has a long lasting charm.
Making a living and enjoying life
When you go to a poor place and sit and watch the clouds rise, life is actually very simple. There are only two things - making a living and enjoying life.
Some people say that "making a living" is a bitter word. It means enduring, giving, being tired, helpless, being frustrated, wearing the stars and the moon, shedding tears and sweating. Making a living is a necessary skill for human beings. Only by knowing how to make a living can we not become a burden to society and can we shoulder various responsibilities of the family.
From the time we are born, our parents teach us various qualities necessary to make a living. Think about when we were young and fell down when we were learning to walk. Our parents would definitely tell us to be strong and to get up on our own. This has already begun to train our ability to make a living. Then, keep reading and studying, learning all kinds of knowledge and skills, and understanding various life principles. This is to prepare for your future livelihood. After joining the work, working hard to adapt, be dedicated, enterprising, patient, and endure all kinds of things that you can't help but make a living. This is truly making a living.
Yes, when we must repay and take on the responsibilities assigned by various roles, we are pushed into the competition for a living. This is a natural obligation in life that everyone must fulfill. Therefore, we should not resent and reject all this, this is what we should do. Not wanting to live is the most irresponsible behavior in life, and we despise this behavior!
"Lesheng" is a pleasant word, which means material, taste, taste, cleanliness, love and music. Happiness belongs to the spiritual level, a state of mind, and has little to do with material things. Materially wealthy people are not necessarily happy with life, and poor people are not necessarily unhappy with life. If you can love life, love all sentient beings, and put a bright moon in your heart, then you can face any hardships calmly and find happiness in the suffering.
Life is too short, we cannot let our worries drown out our happiness, and we cannot live entangled with our worries all our lives. The mind is the source of troubles and also the source of happiness. We cannot eliminate our troubles, escape birth and death, and reach nirvana like the Buddha. However, we can completely learn to control our hearts and let them face the side with sunshine and lights. As long as our hearts are clear, we will be happy.
The Snail and the Fly

It is so difficult to find a job now, many people describe him as a snail looking for a job. , it is indeed touching to see it. However, the snail symbolizes hard work and duty, so each of us should keep our feet on the ground and take one step at a time, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the sky in one step.
Many people are like A fly, regardless of direction or preference, just works for the sake of work and has no own plan for life. If you think about it, it is really one of the biggest employment problems in our country. The representatives of flies are such a group of empty and unrealistic people. People. Although this name may make these people feel disgraceful, the essential characteristics do reflect this psychological shadow. There is nothing in the world that is obtained for nothing. Even if you pick it on the ground, you still need to bend down.
A group of flies hid in a corner and met a snail. They did not take the latter seriously. The snail had no sound, but from the invisible eyes of the flies, we knew that the flies were laughing at them. A peaceful snail. Maybe in their eyes, a snail is a stupid thing. It can't fly, can't do big things, and can't talk. In this world, the appearance of such a thing is very complex in the eyes of flies. Eyes. In order not to meet the snails again, the flies flew hard. Over the past year, they were scattered. Some died on the water, some died in the spider webs, and some could only live on people's dining tables. They were driven around by their masters and wandered around. Finally one day, they stopped wandering and ran back to the dark place to become guerrillas. When they saw the snail again in the dark, they I was surprised to find that the snail is still so optimistic and full of yearning for life.
Life is not that cruel, but some people always like challenges. Not everyone wants to be a scientist or entrepreneur. It can be considered a success. For ordinary people, being a loyal person and doing their daily work well may be a very successful life journey.
Differences in concepts affect Our working status. Many people are like flies, free and without a clear goal, and are not used to the lifestyle they think they are. The ending of the fly is very thought-provoking. If you have to have an ideal life, then it will be so If you work hard and work so hard, I think many people can only wait until they are eliminated by society before they give up. It is too late.
The pace of a snail is very steady, which means that life is Confidence. Not having enough confidence to persist in ordinary work often results in giving up halfway. As long as you maintain a positive attitude towards work every day, no matter how big the difficulties are, you will be able to overcome them one by one with your firm perseverance. In this full world In this era of temptation, we can no longer deal with daily work so anxiously. It is important to organize our thinking and arrange our lifestyle scientifically.

Cows see big things and geese see small things.

With the goose eye, everything seen is reduced; with the bull's eye, everything seen is magnified.
So, the goose is not afraid of anything, because everything is small in its eyes; the cow is afraid of everything, because everything is powerful in its eyes.
Human eyes are different from goose eyes and bull eyes. Under normal circumstances, people and objects are seen in normal proportions, but there are exceptions.
Being a human being requires making sense. In fact, the truth is very simple: that is: reduce yourself and enlarge others; lower yourself and lift others up.
In this world, people have different statuses, different levels of knowledge, and different amounts of money, but in terms of their fundamental human value, everyone is equal. We are all vulgar people, what is "vulgarity"? People eat grain. Therefore, no matter how capable you are, how high your status is, or how much money you have, you still have to have a normal mind, speak normal words, and do normal things. People should treat themselves and others correctly. When people get along with each other, they must learn to be tolerant, think more about other people's strengths, think more about their own shortcomings, remember more about other people's benefits, stand in the other person's shoes, and put themselves in others' shoes. In this way, not only can you make others happy, but you can also make yourself happy.
In traditional Chinese etiquette, people must bow to each other when they meet. Why? Because bowing means lowering yourself and raising others up.
However, don’t go too far. People should not imitate geese. Gooses are not afraid of people and see things in miniature. That is an underestimation of others. But people should not imitate cows. Cows are afraid of people when they see them, because cow eyes are completely opposite to goose eyes. Everything they see is magnified. That is an underestimation of oneself. Excerpted from "The Cow Looks Big and the Goose Looks Small"
God's Proof
On November 8, 1987, the sun was shining brightly in New Jersey, USA. Miss Jones left the supermarket carrying large and small bags. The moment he opened the taxi door, he felt something hard pressing against his waist. Suddenly, she realized that she was in trouble.
What happened next confirmed her hunch. She met Jackson, a young black man. Jackson had just injured a prison guard, took the guard's gun, and escaped from prison. The police car behind him screamed, and Jackson thought about taking hostages. As a result, Miss Jones unfortunately became a lamb to be slaughtered in Jackson's hands.
In Miss Jones' home, she was tied with tape in a small bathtub by Jackson. She became a bargaining chip for Jackson to negotiate with the police. If they want to ensure the safety of Miss Jones, the police must prepare a helicopter and $1 million in cash within 24 hours.
Jackson was like a trapped animal, with tension, anxiety and fear occupying his heart. The distance from the balcony to the bathroom was less than 10 meters, and Jackson was walking around, howling like a wolf from his mouth. However, his wailing was covered by the louder and shriller sound of police sirens outside the window.
However, Miss Jones could hear Jackson's screams and knew better than anyone else his inner panic. Her tone was gentle and quiet: "Come on, listen to me tell a story. This story may make you settle down and help you make the right choice." Jackson still looked like a human child. He sat down and restlessly Biting her nails with her teeth, she listened to Miss Jones' story.
Fifteen years ago, Miss Jones was impoverished and worked as a maid in a wealthy family. The contrast between poverty and wealth often made her indignant. In the end, the devil took over her heart, and she took away the rich baby's baby, hoping to make a big fortune.
She also put the baby in the bathtub. In order to make him more stable and comfortable, she also put a big pillow under the baby's head. She went out and used a public phone to contact the rich family. After returning home, , she was stunned. The pillow covered the baby's face. When she took the pillow away, the baby had stopped breathing.
It was not intentional, but who can prove it? There was no one else there but the baby, and of course Miss Jones could not incriminate herself. Without witnesses, it was clear that a first-degree murder charge would be established.
Unexpectedly, the wealthy couple convinced the jury. They said that besides the baby, there was another person at the scene, and that was God. They found proof of God in Miss Jones's eyes. The life before her was unbelievable. The moment the gavel fell, Miss Jones realized that she had fallen off a cliff and was rescued again.
The moment Jackson walked out of Miss Jones' house, his hands were tied with the tape that bound Jones. The police believed that Jackson tied it himself because they also found proof of God in Jackson's eyes.
Tooth Fairy, Obama and Diet Pills
Compiled by Laura Bennett Pang Qifan
Last week, my 6-year-old son Pearson He lost a front tooth at school and took it home after school. The tooth was carefully placed in a plastic dental mold box with a beautiful string attached to it. In public schools, children can take a piece of paper towel from the bathroom and take it home with them. This reflects one of the benefits of expensive private schools: paper towels have been upgraded to boxes. Pearson grinned and proudly announced to his eldest brother Peck: He has lost his teeth! What makes people laugh or cry is that the naughty Peck also knocked out his other front tooth.
Pearson was so excited when he went to bed, imagining how the Tooth Fairy would make up for his double loss. If two teeth are lost on the same day, obviously the total value will be greater than 2. He looks forward to additional rewards.
"Mom, that's great! What's the reward for losing two teeth a day?" Pearson asked me. He had trouble speaking because he was missing two front teeth. I have never shied away from pretending to be the Tooth Fairy to compensate my children for their lost teeth, because the money is usually found in the laundry in the washing machine the next day, and then back into my hands. This is just a formality.
This got me thinking about these questions: What kind of fictional gift-giving fairy do my children believe in? If they no longer believe it, at what age do they have to give up the idea? Who no longer believes in the Easter Bunny, but decides to believe in Santa Claus? Who no longer believes in any of those gift-giving gods, but pretends to continue to believe in order to get a gift? Regardless, if you no longer believe in the Tooth Fairy, you shouldn't continue to expect the winged fairy to leave bills or gifts under your pillow.
I always ask the older children not to spoil the fun of my younger siblings, but I doubt they can restrain themselves and cruelly tell them the truth: "Little one, there is no Santa Claus at all. So do you." Don’t think about it, can such a fat guy come in from such a small chimney?” I always feel very happy when telling the street news with frothing at the mouth. I think it feels almost the same when I tell my brothers and sisters the truth about Santa Claus. Look like this.
I know Pearson still believes the Tooth Fairy is real. His teeth fell out long before he went to bed, but he still fantasized about receiving the magic banknotes. He placed a certificate signed by me under his pillow to make sure the Tooth Fairy knew it was a fact that he had lost his teeth.
I know a woman who believes that the SARS virus was caused by Asians dipping their food in a dish of soy sauce. My friend Susan believes that StarCaps can help people lose weight because it costs $100. She also believed that her husband would come home one day on a whim with a box of expensive Tiffany jewelry. I believe that a set of Chanel fashion is worth $6,000, and I also believe that Warren Buffett is a stock god who can turn stone into gold. Now, an additional 65 million Americans believe that Barack Obama will bring "change."
From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why children believe in the Easter Bunny: he runs around the world just to hide those nasty hard-boiled eggs and cheap chocolate and cotton Fudge is distributed into baskets. I think, at any age, we believe what we want to believe.
Turn 180 degrees
When you feel uninterested, listless or even miserable, please think about it, is the "direction" you are facing wrong? If this is the case, you need to make a 180-degree turn in the direction of your "walking"
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that the uphill road and The road downhill is a road. Later, many people also said this, but in different ways.
There is a story like this: Two towns issued a $50 subsidy to unemployed families, one town announced it as "relief money" and the other town announced it as "insurance money." The unemployed families in the former town felt that there were too few, were full of complaints, and looked forward to job arrangements; the unemployed families in the latter town felt that they had no worries from now on, and began to work hard to get jobs. The $50 is the same, but the effect is completely different.
Have you ever heard the story of two salesmen sent to Africa to sell shoes? One of the salesmen wrote in a telegram back to the company: "Return immediately, no one here wears shoes." Another wrote: "Excellent opportunity, will be able to sell 1 million pairs, because there is no one here yet." There are shoes.”
When you see a glass of water that is half full, how would you describe it? Is it a glass half full of water, or a glass half full of water? When you think of a traffic light, do you think of a red light or a green light first? That is to say, many times, we will face a road like Heraclitus and must make a choice: uphill? Or downhill? The key depends on which direction we are facing.
If people are not intentional, it will be difficult for people to feel the difference in "altitude" at both ends of the road of life. One mother simply magnified this difference, with one end towering into the sky and the other just below her feet, in order to shock people. She wrote back to her daughter, who was far away from home with her husband and was extremely bored, saying: "There were two prisoners looking out the window from the prison. One saw mud and the other saw stars."
The daughter told her mother After reading and reading the words, I felt very ashamed. "Okay!" she thought, "I'll just go find the star."
So she stopped complaining about the high temperature outside, went out, made friends with the neighboring Indians, and invited them to Teach her how to weave and make pottery. At first, they were a little unfamiliar with each other, but when they realized that she was really interested in these things, they treated each other sincerely. As a result, she became fascinated by Indian culture, history, language and all things Indian. This place that once caused her pain became magical and beautiful.
When we feel uninterested, we should think of another possibility in life, which is equivalent to changing the direction of our walking 180 degrees. Being aware of this turn may elevate our sluggish life to an unexpected level.
[Interpretation]
This is a short article rich in life philosophy. "The road uphill and the road downhill are the same road." One end leads to the top of the slope, and the other end extends to the bottom of the slope. Do you think this is an uphill road or a downhill road? If you think it is an uphill road, you will work hard to climb it. Although you are sweating, you will eventually climb to the top of the slope and reach a new situation; if you think it is a downhill road, you will go along the way. It may save you effort, but it will soon happen. It fell into the bottom of the slope. Similarly, when dealing with life, we must also grasp "which direction we are facing". We must face upward and in a positive direction. Only in this way can we "elevate our sluggish life to an unexpected height."
