Long time no see, hello wow ~
In the new year, the first book to be finished was Liz Clemo's "When You See You're in a Good Mood."
In fact, I also planned to read last year, a very thin little book.
I have read her "You Look So Good Today" and "Can I Bite You" before.
They are all very thin comic books, and they are easy and pleasant to read.
I have a habit of reading books, which is to read all the books of one author in a certain period of time.
Of course, it has to be such a simple and easy-to-understand book.
Like Lu Xun, Wang Xiaobo, Cai Lan, etc., if you want to read their books, it may be more than a year.
Speaking of "When I See You're in a Good Mood", I finished reading it during my work break to resist psychological exhaustion.
I also have a not-so-good habit of reading many kinds of books together, rather than reading one and then opening another.
Sometimes it may be that you open a book casually, put down the previous one, and read the new book in your hand in one go.
Part of the reason is because VIP is free to read for a limited time, and I can only read it first.
(I really don't understand that I'm all VIPs and can't read books that have to be paid for again)
Just like I have stopped other books at the moment, I have been reading "Letters from Yu", about 150,000 words, so I am afraid that I can't read for free while reading VIP.
I have another bad habit, more often than not, I am "good at reading without seeking to understand".
I read a lot of books, but I don't feel like I've grown much.
Just like Mr. Lu Xun said: If you only read books, you will become a bookcase.
That's something I'm constantly reflecting on.
Especially this year, I am more aware of my disadvantages, I have read a lot of books, but I remember very little, and I use less on my own life.
Although reading should not be a utilitarian thing, it is also a fortunate thing to be able to change the status quo by reading.
After reading a book before, even if it is finished, there is no more reflection and output.
This year, I decided to slow down, change my ways and thinking, I can read less, but every time I finish reading a book, I will output a little content.
Therefore, I plan to output at least one article every time I finish reading a book this year.
In this way, the memory is more profound, whether it is the improvement of their own thinking level or personal growth, it is also of great benefit.
Recently, I have become more and more aware that after reading a book, I should grow, make myself a better person, and change my current situation.
Reduce tangles, screws, anxiety, internal friction, and self-limitations.
As I grew older, read more, and experienced more, I experienced many moments of confusion and hardship, anxiety, and I felt that I had achieved nothing at my age.
What I'm trying to say is, you know, everybody has that moment.
Internal friction is actually the most useless thing.
It is better to act, it is better to reconcile with yourself.
Of course, it took me a long time to understand this truth.
Maybe you've also seen a short film: "Life Problems from 5 to 90 Years Old"
We are all ordinary people, and we will encounter different life problems at different ages.
Believe me, you are not alone.
Maybe not all the questions in this world have answers, but your task is to cherish your own life, more than before.
Some time ago, I saw the American actress Helen Hayes say a sentence: The most difficult time in life is between the ages of 10 and 70.
For most of us ordinary people, maybe this is the truth of life.
Each stage has all sorts of lingering troubles.
However, it is after a difficult time after a while that we have been able to transform and grow.
As Romain Rolland said: There is only one true heroism in the world, that is, after recognizing the truth of life, still love life.
Therefore, this book recommended to you today is "Good Mood at First Sight".
It is also a blessing for everyone in the new year.
Although life is really difficult, I still hope that everyone is happy every day.
In this little book, including Liz Clemo's other books, it is a fun moment extracted from the trivia of daily life.
Life is not short of beauty, but of the eyes that find it.
And those tender, healing, romantic moments may be in the moment when we turn a blind eye.
In this book, you can see Liz Clermo's Healing Planet:
Every day here is fun! Warm sunshine in spring, cool off under the big trees in summer, pick up golden fallen leaves in autumn, and go out for snowball fights in winter!
When I saw this passage, I remembered a poem by the Song Dynasty Wumen Hui Kai Zen Master, which has the same magic.
Spring has a hundred flowers, autumn has a moon, summer has a cool breeze and winter has snow.
If there is no idleness to worry about, it is a good time on earth.
This is also true at every stage of life, there will be a lot of confusion; but there will also be infinite good times.
As Liz Clermo says in her book: If you are going through an extraordinarily difficult life, allow me to wish you the best year from today onwards.
Even in the darkness there will be a faint glow. Precious lives are too short, and we should at least try to be gentle and kind to each other.
Two days ago, I saw a push from the number owner @ Gao Leng leng, who I liked very much, and she said that at the end of each year, she would send the same circle of friends for 4 years.
This circle of friends is also very simple: xx years is the best year in my life at present.
Then infinite matryoshka dolls, screenshots of the circle of friends of the previous year, and re-posted at the end of the year.
That's what I want to give you the best of luck: Welcome to the best year!
It will be hard, but you will love it.
Good night and we'll see you next time
