1. Original text of "Build Your Own House"
There was an old carpenter who was preparing to retire. He told his boss that he wanted to leave the construction industry and go home to enjoy family happiness with his wife and children.
The boss was reluctant to let his good worker go and asked him if he could help build another house. The old carpenter said yes. But everyone could see that the old carpenter's heart was no longer in his work. He used inferior materials and did rough work. When the house was built, the boss handed him the key to the door.
"This is your house," he said, "a gift from me."
He was stunned with shock and ashamed. If he had known that he was building a house for himself, how could he have done this? Now he has to live in a shoddy house.
We are not like this. We carelessly "build" our lives, not by taking positive actions, but by passively coping, refusing to strive for excellence in everything, and failing to do our best at critical moments. By the time we are shocked to realize our situation, we are already deeply trapped in the "house" we built.
Think of you as the carpenter. Think about your house. Every day you drive in a nail, nail a board, or erect a wall. Wisdom builds well! Your life is the only creation of your life and cannot be erased and rebuilt. In fact, even if a person only has one day to live, he should live gracefully and noblely on that day, because it is written on the wall of your house: "Life is what you create." 2. Are there any ancient texts or poems about housing and living? ,Thank you
Song of Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind
In August, the high autumn wind roared and rolled up the triple thatched roof of my house.
Mao flies across the river and spreads across the outskirts of the river. The taller ones hang on forest branches, while the lower ones float around the pond.
The group of children in Nancun deceived me because I was old and weak, and I could not bear to face them as thieves.
He carried the grass into the bamboos openly, his lips were burnt and his mouth was dry and he couldn't breathe. When he came back, he leaned on his staff and sighed.
The wind in Russia makes the clouds dark, and the desert turns dark in autumn.
The quilt has been as cold as iron for many years, and the delicate child is lying on it and is cracked inside.
The leakage at the bedside has no place to dry, and the rain has not stopped.
My menstruation is disordered and I have little sleep. How can I get wet all night long?
There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, which can shelter all the poor people in the world with joy! Unmoved by wind and rain, it is as peaceful as a mountain.
Woohoo! When I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, my house alone will be broken down and frozen to death!

Gao Yang should be the leader of the family ①, and the craftsman ② said to him: "It's not possible, the wood is still growing ③, if you add ④ on it, it will be scratched ⑤. So. Born in a house, although it is good now, it will be defeated in the future. Gao Yang responded: "Yue Zi's words, the house will not be defeated - the wood will be strong if it is withered, and the dry will be light if it is applied." Then you will not be defeated." The craftsman responded without saying anything and did it according to the order. The beginning of the success of the house is good, but the subsequent failure. (Selected from "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals")
Gao Yangying planned to build a house. The carpenter said to him: "No! The wood is not dry yet. If you put mud on it, it will be bent. Use newly cut wet wood to build a house. Although it looks strong when it is first built, it will fall apart after a while. It will collapse." Gao Yangying said: "According to your words, my house will not be damaged by insurance - because in the future, the wood will become drier and harder, and the soil will become drier and lighter, and the harder and harder wood will bear more and more burdens. The lighter the soil, the less likely the house will be damaged.
"The carpenter had no answer, so he had to follow his instructions. Gao Yangying's house looked good when it was first built, but it collapsed later.
Enlightenment: Everything must be followed Objective laws. If you act recklessly according to your own subjective will, you will have a high chance of failure. You should listen to other people's opinions with humility and not be self-righteous.
