It has been said, "Life is short, it's either fun or old." This sentence comes from the mouth of Mr. Lao She, which is profound and thought-provoking. There is no doubt that we should not spend this limited time in a mess, but should live positively. Becoming an interesting person not only enhances one's own charm, but also helps to manage relationships with society and others. Making life full of fun and making every day full and interesting becomes the goal we pursue.
01 Life is boring, but we can learn to make it interesting. During the Qing Dynasty, the lives of ordinary people, especially peasants, were quite hard. Huang Luzhuang, an orphan who lost his father at the age of thirteen, has become increasingly impoverished in his family, and he has to rely on relatives and friends to survive. During these difficult days, he did not indulge in self-pity, but actively observed his surroundings and found joy in life. In a book brought by a missionary, he found the joy of knowledge, read diligently and then tried to make small ideas. After many experiments, he actually invented 27 innovations such as "bicycles". According to historical records, he also studied and improved meteorology, microscopes, telescopes, etc. Writer Zhang Chao's evaluation of him is: "Taste small things for yourself, and those who see them often bid for heavy prices." These interesting ideas attract the attention of others and bring him wealth for himself. This story teaches us that the joy in life can be created by ourselves, no matter how difficult it is, as long as we find it with our hearts, we will always find something refreshing. Even if an ant walks by, as long as you find it interesting, then this moment will make you feel happy all day long. No matter how hard life is, we should learn to find pleasure in it, and make ourselves a person who will find pleasure in difficult situations, so that you can be nobler than those around you.
02 When interacting with people, trouble comes from the mouth, and there are more jokes. "Illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes out of the mouth", and the human mouth is the most likely place to cause trouble. Someone once said, "Learn to speak in three years, learn to shut up in a lifetime", this suggestion seems good, but in practice it is unsustainable. After all, our mouths can't stay silent forever, so it's especially important to learn to "joke". Confucius's ** Zai Yu once raised a unique question: if a benevolent person falls into the bottom of a well, should another benevolent person jump down to save it?This question may seem like an unsolvable one, but it also sparks an interesting discussion. Confucius avoided answering directly, but used clever language to resolve the contradictions, making the whole scene light-hearted. Learning to express yourself in a humorous way will make your mouth no longer a source of trouble, but a tool to ease the awkward atmosphere and resolve conflicts. Self-deprecation, praise others, and clever detours are all good choices. In short, keeping a funny heart will help bring your words to life and resolve many potential conflicts.
03 If the text is boring, find the fun in it. Many people find reading and writing boring because some books are sleepy and sometimes difficult to understand. But Lu Xun is different, he wrote many refreshing articles with interesting words, which made people have a strong interest in literature. Ah Q is a character in Lu Xun's pen, despite his bumpy fate and poor life, he is good at finding the joy of life. He was annoyed when he heard the townspeople say "stool" instead of "bench", thinking it was a misnomer;Seeing that there are no green onions on the head of the big fish, I think that the people who make the fish are not skilled. Outsiders think that Ah Q is narrow-minded, but judging from Lu Xun's written expression, this character is full of vitality. Su Xun of the Northern Song Dynasty, although he participated in the scientific examination many times and failed to be admitted to the Jinshi, he mocked fate with limericks: "Mo Dao Deng, the old man is like ascending to the sky." Mo Daodenke is difficult, and children are like mustards. He used a light-hearted and humorous way to resolve his dissatisfaction with fate, and eventually became one of the "Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties". Although the text may seem boring, as long as you read it with an interesting eye, you will find it fun. Cultivating a Xi of "fun reading" will make words no longer a burden.
04 Difficult to deal with relationships, take the initiative to keep funny. Interpersonal relationships are complex, and it is inevitable that you will have conflicts with others, or someone will make you feel unhappy or even embarrassed. However, relationships are not that difficult to deal with. If you have a funny heart, your relationship with anyone will go smoothly. Educator Tao Xingzhi once encountered an embarrassing scene of two students arguing, and he skillfully resolved the conflict with two pencils. By creating a light-hearted atmosphere, he made the students stop arguing and laugh at their mistakes. In the same way, if we can approach problems with optimism and look at the people and things around us with humor when we interact with others, social interaction will be very smooth. No matter how deep the contradiction is, as long as it is resolved with interesting topics, it can often be easily solved.
05 Some people are always envious of the colorful life of others, but they don't know that they can also have an interesting life. In fact, you don't need to spend too much money to make life interesting, and you don't have to deliberately embarrass yourself. Whether you're saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing, if you can look at it in a light-hearted way and make it fun, you'll be able to rediscover the trajectory of your life. As Bing Xin said, "If life is boring, I am afraid that there will be an afterlife, if life is interesting." I am already satisfied in this life. "To be an interesting person, to live up to this life, not to wait for the next life, such a charm will be overflowing.
