We often say that we want to control this, control that, but in fact, the charm of life is not uncertain and lucky
Not only 2024, but every day, every month, every year, we go to work and get off work over and over again, or get up, eat, and sleep, which is not a default sense of rhythm, deliberately controlling the sense of rhythm, and the result may not be as desired.
So what we have to do is that there is a goal in life, it can be very big, it can be very small, there is a dream in life, you can look up, you can pursue, towards the goal, towards the dream, set off, every day, monthly, every year, in your own direction, work hard, maybe there will be side details, maybe there will be fog, hold your compass, and then step by step, don't be afraid to take a few more steps, don't be annoyed about the detours, as long as for yourself, always keep a young heart, learn the Xi state, the sense of rhythm will follow us, no need to control。
Make a plan, how many books to read in a month or a year, which exams to take, what knowledge to learn, what fields to dabble in, to see more, to think more, to write more, and to write at the same time. While thinking, we are growing, and in the process of growing, we will discover our own shortcomings and ignorance, which will lead us to explore more unknowns.
I watched a documentary yesterday, and one of them was quite touching.
Thirteen invitations to talk to Wang Gungwu, a 93-year-old man, the old gentleman was born in October 1930 in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), ancestral home in Tai County, Jiangsu Province (now Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province), historian, academician of the Australian Academy of Humanities, academician of the "** Research Institute" in Taiwan, China, foreign academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and special professor of the National University of Singapore.
93 years old, still working, energetic, clear thinking, athletic, free to swipe the mobile phone, after work, I use the ride-hailing software to call an online taxi home.
Mr. Wang said that he did not deliberately pursue his luck, but from the mountains of books in his office and at home, it can be seen that his old man's efforts and struggles, he said, he is interested, want to find the answer, so the more he reads the book, the more ......
We should learn from Wang Lao Xi and let books and thinking give us a sense of natural rhythm and live our own lives well.
