In a happy world

In a happy world, there is no place for the lazy. When a person chooses to lie down when it is time to work hard, he will turn the laziness of today into the hardship of tomorrow, in exchange for a lifetime of misery. "One out of ten people in the world give up because of difficulties, and nine out of ten people fail because of laziness." Laziness leads to poverty, and laziness leads to defeat. The first step for the poor to counterattack is to get rid of laziness from the bones. Snakes grow up in moulting, gold is scouring out of the sand, massage is comforting after pain, and spring is prosperity through winter. Humans cannot be reborn in an instant. The essence of growth is to fight against pain again and again. When you get through the test of peeling and cramping, the good things in life will come as promised.

When you feel helplessness and despair

In this world, everyone will have a time of helplessness and despair: life is frustrated, framed by others, slandered by others, and the way forward is lost... The wind will extinguish the candle, and it will also make the fire burn more and more vigorously. The real strong people regard the low valley as the training ground of life. "The final difference between people and people is the hurdles, whether you can get through it or not, you will be different after you pass." Find direction in adversity and hope in desperation. Trees are like this, so why aren't people? Suffering is thick soil, and life is evergreen. The strong do not never shed tears, but wipe away their tears and remain as sonorous as ever.

The world comes in layers and layers

The world comes in layers and layers, and the world climbs step by step.  A mountain is higher than the other. To tolerate the beauty of others, to control their own arrogance. Competitive, win for a while; broad-minded, win forever. The lack of material, the noisier; the cultivation base is not enough, the more flamboyant. The fastest way to destroy a person is to let him get carried away and make him arrogant and crazy. There are three growths in life: first, when you realize that you are no longer the centre of the world, second, when you realize that you can't do anything no matter how hard you try, and third when you accept your ordinary and enjoy it. No matter when you control your arrogance, allow other people's scenery and spend your own time. Life is such a waking up process.

This is the real world...

This is the real world, the world of value and ability: the key to maintaining good relationships is not how friendly you are to others, but how strong you are. If one day, after a long-term accumulation, a person truly becomes an expert in a certain field, he will be pleasantly surprised that a real, valuable, so-called "efficient" network will break into the door. Therefore, a person's self-worth is the best ticket, the best pass. Therefore, instead of pleasing others, it is better to strengthen yourself. When you are strong enough, they will take the initiative to approach you. When you are good enough, they will take the initiative to make friends with you. As the saying goes, if you are wonderful, God will arrange it.

Only good people can become rich!

Only good people can become rich! Some people say: "If we compare life to a company, we are the best managers of our own company." It is worthwhile to manage yourself and make yourself better. Invest in your own brain, cultivate your emotions, and forge your own character. This heart is bright. The love given will never be in vain, it will definitely come back to you in another way. How you treat others, others will repay you; in the kindness you pay, there is a path for your future. All the surprises and good luck are your accumulated tenderness and kindness.

Knowledge comes from looking at things...

"Knowledge comes from looking at things, and after looking at things, knowledge arrives." In the face of anything, only with an open mind can one touch the essence and discover hidden opportunities. Blindly denying new things will only become short-sighted and eventually abandoned by the constantly iterating world. People are not products on the assembly line. Even if they have the same gender and growth environment, their temperament concepts may be very different. With a preset position in mind, rashly labeling others, doomed to see the real person. To let go of prejudice is actually to open the shackles in your heart. When you learn to look at the world from a different perspective, the world you accept will eventually fulfill your abundant life.

Behind all difficulties

"Behind all difficulties is the way you grow. Behind everything, there is a price tag, behind the easy is staying where you are, and behind the difficult is a better self. So, don't be afraid of difficulties, this is to test you, to cross you, and to improve you. A person's life is to "go through a moat, grow a wisdom", and constantly optimize his own process. Human life is a process of continuous cultivation and growth. The most beautiful thing in life is to meet a better and better self. Look at the problem from a different length, and you will gain a tougher and better version of yourself. Look at the problem from a different position, and you will gain a multi-dimensional and richer self. Look at the problem from a different mentality, and you will gain an open-minded and happier self."

Keep your head down...

"Keep your head down and your back straight. People must have self-knowledge, but also know how to learn from others' strengths to make up for their weaknesses. More important than talent and ability are humility. In this world, the person who can control the overall situation is often not the person with the best technology and the most ability, but the person who can tolerate people and knows how to bow at the right time. People who are truly generals know how to bow their heads to those who are better than themselves. "The way of heaven and earth, the mutual use of rigidity and softness should not be neglected. Over softness will lead to sluggishness, and over rigidity will lead to failure." When it is time to bow your head, it is not shameful to admit the excellence of others. Arrogance is true ignorance. If you bow your head to someone better than yourself, you must be a person with a strong heart."

Let's enjoy a poem from Shel Silverstein, 17 July 2021

SICK

I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I’m going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox
And there’s one more--that’s seventeen,
And don’t you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I’m sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button’s caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,
My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What’s that? What’s that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G’bye, I’m going out to play!
