There are four great pleasures in life: being able to live, daring to love, seeking knowledge, and chasing dreams

Modern people seem to have a kind of performance pressure on "happy or not", and if there is no high-quality happiness, they will be uneasy. If you live unhappily, it is as if you have fallen into the "life failure group", and it is difficult to explain to your family and friends. Happiness is a philosophy, it is even a science. Psychology departments in various universities in the United States, including the University of California and Stanford in the west, and Harvard University and Yale University in the east, have opened "happy science" courses and have become the most popular courses for students to rush to repair. Popular bestsellers, happiness is also an important selling point.

From a scientific point of view, there is really a "pleasure hormone" in the human brain, and its function is not to produce happiness, but to transmit happiness. When a person engages in a specific behavior, the nerve centers of the brain secrete a "reward hormone", scientifically called "dopamine", which makes people feel happy information. If dopamine is insufficient, it can be melancholy and frustrating. Excessive dopamine leads to hyperexcitation and addiction.

There are different types and degrees of happiness, and there are many factors that affect happiness, such as beauty, health, wisdom, wealth, popularity, and morality. The general environment will also affect people's emotions, such as seasonal climate, traffic conditions, social security, etc.

First, can live

The greatest joy of life is that everyone is different, and every era is different. When the world is facing crises, such as wars, natural disasters, and diseases, it is the greatest joy to survive. Therefore, it is said that "long drought meets Ganlin", "family letters arrive at ten thousand gold", "no disease and one body light". The first pleasure in life is to "be able to live." In life, we must not only "live", but also have "activities" and "vitality", and live to have valuable significance.

Since you can live, you must live well, "life must be happy, do not make the golden bottle empty to the moon", for many people, "enjoy life" is the greatest pleasure; food, tourism, luxury houses, famous brands, to meet the four major needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, each has its own pleasure. As the advertisement says, "Live!" "What is life like? You might as well have fun in time and take a walk.

In order to live themselves, people who love competition take pleasure in competition, and various ball games and competitions come into being. Thrill-loving people who take pleasure in adventure, climbing mountains, diving in the deep sea, paragliding and parachuting, and challenging their physical limits.

But when the crisis arises, "being able to live" becomes a luxury, and "the rest of life" becomes everyone's main dream. As long as you can live a life without disaster, without pain, and without worry, it is the greatest joy in the world. At this time, if you cannot enjoy what you "have", then you must enjoy what you "have".

Every Thanksgiving Day comes to mind a famous saying: "If you can't be thankful for what you have, then be thankful for what you don't have!" ”

Second, dare to love

In addition to survival, the greatest joy of life is "love". Love is the sublimation of human feelings, everyone must "live for love", whether "love" or "be loved", are endlessly happy.

"Ask what is the situation in the world, and the Orthodox People live and die?" "Dream of the Red Chamber" says: "Men are earth, women are water." "When it is mixed together, it becomes "mud." Later, "I have you in my mud, and you have me in my mud." "I'm no longer me, and you're no longer you.

Love needs commitment guarantees. The lover wants to hang "I love you" on his lips at any time, and even swears: "The sea is rotten and rotten, and this love is unswerving." Love doesn't need to say "thank you" or "sorry." Between lovers, instead of saying "I'm sorry", say "I love you".

Love is like a dam, it can produce a lot of energy. It is the source of creative inspiration for literature, music, and art, and it can also make people change their past wrongs, work hard, sacrifice and dedication, and become the key to changing their lives or history.

Although love can make people happy, it is also a "two-sided blade". Love can haunt people's dreams and confuse people. The Book of Poetry Yun: "Ladies and gentlemen... Can't ask for it, sleepily, leisurely, tossing and turning. "In case of love and waves, it is even more joyful and sad." Being trapped by love will seriously affect your studies, career, and life, so some people advocate that "love is just a dessert" and cannot be taken too seriously. Love is also a "two-way road", love and being loved, indispensable. People in love must know how to cherish happiness and contentment, and do not have to ask: "Which is happier to love and to be loved?" On Valentine's Day, there is also a famous saying: "If you can't have what you love, you should love what you have." "In the world of love, giving is more blessed than receiving. The love field is like a battlefield, and if people are not careful, they will become "prisoners of love". Hereby advise those who have captured captives in the love field, to mourn and not to rejoice, to abide by the Geneva Conventions, to treat prisoners well, not to just enjoy the taste of being loved, and to forget to love each other, otherwise the energy accumulated over the years will eventually erupt. Since a person "can live" he must "dare to love." Even if the road of love is full of challenges and thorns, we must bravely go forward and talk about a good love.

Third, chase dreams

There is also a great joy in life, that is, "chasing dreams" and realizing dreams, which is extremely fun.

Everyone's dream pattern is different in size and interesting. People with noble sentiments and great ambitions dream of turning the tide and saving the world with one hand. Therefore, the greatest joy of some people's lives is not survival, not love, but "revolution". The Hungarian patriotic poet Petëfi said: "Life is precious, love is more expensive; if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away." Lin Juemin's "Farewell to His Wife" said: "I am full of my love for the heart of Ru, and help the people of the world to love what they love." When Sun Yat-sen was a teenager, "there is no joy in talking about revolution." Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteous Qi" said: "Ding Wok is as sweet as a gluttony, and it is impossible to get it." ”

In the process of everyone's growth, there are some important milestones that everyone is proud of, such as the joint examination list, the competition award, the school graduation, the workplace breakthrough, the company listing, etc., feeling happy and worth remembering in the future.

Although "good men do not mention the courage of that year", after the events have passed, people's precious memories of the bittersweet and bittersweet and bits and pieces of the struggle at that time will inevitably be reminiscent and enjoy themselves.

The Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin had a "New List of Questions", and when he saw the candidates posting the list, he remembered the fun of his "golden list title" in that year: "The original edge of the loess is cunning and fat, and the dog is like a flowing electric horse." The veteran of Baling had no merit, and he remembered that he had returned from hunting at night. ”

Fourth, seek knowledge

The greatest joy of my life, in addition to the pursuit of "survival, love, dreams", also includes the pursuit of "knowledge". "Curiosity" often excites and addicts me, sometimes almost to the point of dancing.

The first article of the Analects, "Learning and Learning", says: "Learning and learning from time to time, do not you also say (pleasant)?" It can be seen that "my way is not alone", and the epilepsy has existed since ancient times. When I was a child, I most liked to go to my grandfather's study and search for treasures in his collection. On the wall of the study hangs a motto he wrote: "Busy and idle and happy to read" When I was in school, on the wall in front of my desk, I posted my own motto: "In my chest is a heart of curiosity."

I have always believed that everyone needs to do a lot of preparatory work on the road of "survival, love, and dreams". First of all, we must detect, search, and capture various knowledge and skills, and secondly, we must cultivate the mentality and demeanor in the face of various road conditions.

In addition to being useful, "curiosity" is more important than fun. "Survival, love, dreaming" is not everyone can succeed, if you read the group of books, do not have to wait for their own personal experience, you can travel through time and space to share the infinite fun that many other people in ancient and modern China and abroad have obtained in the journey of "survival, love, and dreaming".

Reading Robinson Crusoe, I felt the strong vitality that people show in the face of desperate situations. Looking back at this difficulty that I am currently encountering, what do I gain?

Regarding love, there is no need to wait until you "try love by yourself", as long as you read novels such as "Gone with the Wind", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Cleopatra" and "Outside the Window", there will probably be some basic concepts of "what is true love". After reading all kinds of love romance novels, in addition to reveling in those touching and touching tender feelings, and those infinite sorrows that teach people to be broken and strangling, it seems that they can also have a great understanding in their hearts, understand the "true meaning of love", and see through the "obsession of love".

After reading "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Vengeance of Monte Cristo", and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", I probably know all kinds of injustices in the world.

"Being able to live, dare to love, seek knowledge, and chase dreams" are the four major pleasures of life. In life, to be a "hopeless optimist" and leave some understanding, some gains, and some memories for yourself is worth the trip.
