Life insights
1. Childhood season
In a person's life, childhood seems to be the most inconspicuous. Adults are doing serious things, but children are just playing, dreaming, as if squandering precious time in idleness. However, this seems to be the most inconspicuous childhood is actually the most important season of life. Careless adults can't see that in every seemingly ignorant child, there is a soul that is generating in a certain form.
In a person's life, childhood seems to be the shortest. If you only look at the numbers, the proportion of children is indeed much smaller than in adulthood. However, it seems that this short childhood is actually the longest time in life. We only experience the eternal stay of time in childhood, and when we reach adulthood, childhood memories will accompany us throughout our lives.
2, then the flowers bloom
At the age when the love sinus first blooms, it is not just the flower of desire that blooms. How pure, how shy, how spiritual the flower of desire is, how in fact it is also a spiritual flower. So, along with youth, all the good things in the spiritual world, including art and ideals, personality and dignity, are awakened. It's the same for everyone. The difference is that later, some flowers are short-lived, and some bloom undefeated and bear fruit.
3, the child's heart is the power
Jesus said that children are the greatest in heaven. Tagore said that childhood is the greatest in life. Almost all great men look at their children with admiration, because children are curious about the world and do things with only genuine interests, not dominated by utilitarianism and customs. If an adult still possesses these qualities, we say he has a childlike heart, and the childlike heart is the source of creativity. Those who have a childlike heart are often good at appreciating children, and the two are actually the same thing. On the contrary, those who insist on leading their children to the adult track often have their own childish hearts dead.
4. A lesson in life
Growing up is a process of continuous learning, learning how to behave in the world and how to think about problems. However, the place of learning is not necessarily in the classroom. In fact, the occasional opportunity in life, unexpected encounters, good intentions or malice from others, and the words of the wise will be a vivid lesson in life, and may even change the direction of our lives.
5. Planning "Me"
People live in the world and should live their true colors. However, the "self" is a complex concept that philosophers have not yet debated. How can a person have a "self"? There are two reliable signs. The first is to see if he has his own true interest, that is, his own career, he can devote himself to it wholeheartedly and feel inner pleasure and fulfillment. If there is, it indicates that he is realizing the "self", which refers to his personality, the unique value of life of each person. The second is to see if he has his own true beliefs, that is, the principle of his own life, which is the axis of his spiritual coordinates, so that he does not follow the tide in the world. If there is, it indicates that he has a "self", and this "self" refers to his soul, a firm spiritual core. The "self" in both senses is not something that everyone is born with, but the result of constant selection and creation in the course of life. Because of this, everyone is responsible for who they are.
6, good luck design
When designing a perfect life plan, people may wish to dream of the sea and the sky. But if you are a wise man, you will know that the most wonderful good fortune should not exclude suffering, and the most dazzling splendor should be dull. It turns out that perfection is made of imperfection, and perfection must contain defects. In the end, you find that God's plan for each person does not need to be changed, but important is to be able to understand the implications.
7. Life is supreme
Life is a miracle in the universe, and its origin is mysterious. Is it the product of evolution, or is it God's creation? It doesn't matter. It is important to feel this miracle with your heart. Then you will know how to appreciate the phenomena of life in nature and enrich your mind with their various forms. Then you will be kind to all life, from every unknown person, to an antelope, an insect, a tree, from the bottom of your heart to produce a sense of the same origin of all things. Then you will have a reverence for life, for life, and for the Creator who created it, whether people call it God or nature.
8, the rules are more reliable than people
Freedom under the rules is the whole secret of the success of Western politics and economy. Adam Smith once described the resulting invisible order as an "invisible hand" that guides motivated selfish people to do things that would be effectively beneficial to society as a whole. The success of the mainland's reforms will also depend on the formation of such an order, and the key lies in establishing the authority of the rules. Of course, the rules must be fair, the right thing is not right, the government and individuals must obey it, otherwise it will not become a rule. For those of us who have been accustomed to the rule of man for thousands of years, the belief that rules are more reliable than people is nothing less than a revolution in ideas.
9. When you sit and watch the clouds rise
The happiness of life is not mainly in various external conditions, but in whether you are good at enjoying the joy of life. The size of the joie de vivre, as Montaigne said, depends on how much you care about life. If you put your heart only on fame and fortune, you will turn a blind eye to life, and life will have no fun at all. On the contrary, you love life, you taste the details and scenes of life with your heart, and you will find that fun is everywhere.
How to live your life the way you like
If you don't know what you want, don't know what you should do, read those good books, communicate with those great souls and the wisdom of the sages, and give yourself a good foundation to cultivate your own concentration in the world.

Today's good book recommendation
"The Little Window"
"Don't be shocked, idle to watch the flowers blossom and fall in front of the court; go to stay unintentional, and wander with the clouds outside the sky."
This aphorism is from Lu Shaoheng's "Small Window Youji" in the Ming Dynasty.
There are many such catchy aphorisms in this book. Like what
Let him be extremely knowledgeable, and he cannot see the truth; As you are extremely clever, you can't hide it by selling cleverly.
Five more chickens chirping, evoking the bright moon in front of the window.
When I woke up, I saw through the dream.
To save the seven points of righteousness in order to live a life; Leave three points for dementia in case of death.
They have one thing in common, which is duality.
At that time, in order to cope with the imperial examination, the reader had to be able to write eight strands of text. And to write the eight strands of text, duality is the basic introductory kung fu.
And Lu Shaoheng, a reader, although he also delved into the utilitarian, test-taking, and even boring literary rhetoric of duality, he compiled such an interesting little book as "The Secret of the Little Window", which is like opening a flower from the dry red dust.
The great fun of life, the first comes from life, the second comes from the soul.
As long as a person loves life, is good at tasting the inherent pleasures of life, and at the same time pays attention to the soul, and is good at interacting with the great souls of human history, even in a boring era, he can still live interestingly.
And "The Little Window" is an interesting soul suitable for you to associate with.
