Hello, I am the author of "How to Read a Book Effectively", the 9th and 10th Influential Writers, and the Forbes Global Alliance Women Entrepreneur.
This is the 9th year that I have monetized my reading, and it is also the 5th year that I have quit my job to start a business and cultivate a reading blogger. Thanksgiving for the encounter!
Tomorrow is a special day, and I silently make a wish from the bottom of my heart: "I wish me a happy birthday!
I also bless myself and solemnly tell myself: It's not too late for mulberry elms, and the red glow is still full of sky!
The following letter is a "love letter" written to me by my aunt, and I was so moved that I couldn't help but share it.
Written to you on your birthday in the natal year
2024.4.27，16:58
I wish you a happy birthday in advance, my princess, my goddess! May you be safe, healthy, and happy every day to come!
You are the person who has brought me happiness in my life, I am grateful to have met, I am grateful to have you by my side, after so many years, you have always been in my life.
The years are without a trace, and inadvertently, the birthday of your third natal year has quietly arrived.
Shaohua is fleeting, and youth is no more.
I always thought that the years were slow, but suddenly, you changed from an innocent child to a weathered adult.
Thank you for all the encounters in life, people often say: 500 times of looking back in the past life, in exchange for you and me in this life.
The world is no different, and there is something special for me.
On the tenth day of your birth, our whole family went to your sunrise (a word that may be a misnomer), which is now called the Full Moon Feast.
At that time, there were no cars, and the village looked for a four-wheeled tractor, and everyone sat in the long car box in the back, talking and laughing, so lively.
It seems that at that time, there was water in the Beidabu River at your door, and there were still reeds, which was very fresh for those of us who were born in the mountains, and we had never seen it.
When I entered the house, I saw that your mother was like Lafayette, you were still chubby after giving birth, and there was a chubby cutie lying next to your mother, and that was you.
In my vague memory, it doesn't seem to be very white when I was born.
At that time, I didn't understand anything, I guess I just watched stupidly and listened to the adults chatting.
What you ate at noon, I forgot it a long time ago, your grandmother was hospitable and able to speak, and she became a grandmother at such a young age, and it is estimated that she must have been praised by everyone at that time.
It's been so long since I can't remember anything.
In the afternoon, we reluctantly left.
On the way back, the tractor broke down, and everyone walked more than 20 miles home!
I was sweating profusely on the way, and I couldn't afford to buy a popsicle for 1 cent, so I had the impression that someone had bought 1.
At that time, I didn't want to take a ride, no matter how hot and tired I was, I had to walk back slowly, and I had no choice.
Later, due to a change in the situation at home, I changed schools, and since then I have been able to see you every week, and I have been happy with you every day, until I have my own home and have to leave you.
When it's time for you to go to the Yuhong class (now called kindergarten), grandma sent you there, and people said it was too high.
All along, you have grown taller than other people's children.
In first grade, the teacher didn't leave written homework, but every time you came back from school in the evening, you left homework for yourself and wrote homework.
Then lie on the narrow countertop next to the pressurized water well, and you begin to finish your homework, and the handwriting is very good.
I remember when you were in the fifth grade, the teacher asked you to draw, but I didn't know what to draw, and it happened that there was a picture of a Mickey Mouse on your school bag, so I followed the drawing, and the drawing was very similar.
When you were 6 years old, you and your mother had already learned to weave reed mats, and they learned to be like adults.
When you were a child, you didn't like to talk, you didn't tease anyone, give you a toy, and you would for a long time.
You seem to have grown up free-range, but fortunately you are not influenced by them more, you keep learning, challenging yourself, every step is a kind of grinding, every effort is a kind of transformation.
No matter how difficult it was, you didn't give up, you were tired like a fish swimming against the current, and sometimes you didn't even have the strength to look up at the sunset.
Maybe I was thinking, give me a pause button, I want to slow down.
When I finish these trivial things in the world, I will pick a feng shui treasure to sleep for a century.
You persevered along the way, didn't give up, and did your best, just to be able to reach that distant goal.
Now you, many people have been impressed by your talent and wisdom, and with your strength, you have entered the ranks of the ranks of the team that they can't imagine, and you have "blinded" everyone's eyes! You are great!
I remember when you were about 10 years old, you told everyone that when my aunt got married, no one should go to her house because she was clean.
At that time, there was nothing to do, so I cleaned up the house and stayed comfortable.
Now, your aunt doesn't have that much energy and has become lazy, so it's good to take care of herself.
For so many years, you have been looking after me.
When you had the surgery, you gave up everything you had to do with me, you gave me strength, and you just did what you thought you should do.
But you can also not go, your aunt is different from your own mother after all, your mother goes alone, it means that your whole family will go, but you still go.
With your company, all your worries will disappear.
Looking at the birth, aging, sickness and death of the people around him, I understand that there is only the deepest, strongest and most true truth in the world.
You are always strict with yourself and lenient with others.
You are very good at loving yourself, and in the future, I will also get full marks for loving myself, and no longer let my heart be wronged.
Yes, you are your own rose first, and then the rose that the little prince loves.
The past is like smoke, and the petals of memory fall in the heart.
The years are destined to experience some joy and sentimentality, which makes me feel some sense of life.
No one's life will have a smooth journey, once cried hoarsely, once took all the grievances by himself, and still smiled like a flower the next day.
I am grateful that in your natal year, I chose to be with you again, and every day you bring me enough energy so that I can let go of everything else and only be myself.
Now I am at an age where my heart is as calm as water, mature and open-minded.
After experiencing a lot, I slowly saw through the vicissitudes of the world and understood that I don't have to prove anything to others.
To live is to be a better version of yourself.
Now, I have finally learned how to love myself, and I finally understand in tears that the most important thing is to love myself.
All experiences are wealth, you are the precious person in my life, let me learn to be grateful.
You are now the master of my life, let me see the wisdom and improve myself.
You bring me a lot of positive energy every day.
All the blessings in the world are the kindness and love that you have accumulated bit by bit, and now they have brought it to me.
Yang Jiang once said: I was so eager for the waves of fate, and in the end I found that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually the calmness and calmness of my heart.
I had been so hopeful of recognition that I finally realized that the world was my own, and I had nothing to do with anyone else.
After experiencing the world, I am not sad or happy, the years are quiet, and I feel warm, happy and calm in my ordinary life.
It's too late to care about boring people and things, listen to your heart, and go your own way.
Feng Zikai said: Since there is nowhere to hide, it is better to be stupid, and since there is nowhere to escape, it is better to be happy. Since there is no pure land, it is better to meditate, and since there is no wish, it is better to be relieved.
Although the years have carved marks on the face, they have left an imprint on the heart. From now on, every day in the future, every footprint, we must step out of the beauty of the passing year.
Writer Ishida Yiliang said: A person's strength is not based on what he can do, but on what he can bear.
The so-called growth is to grow armor on the outside and become soft on the inside.
We have experienced hurts, blows, and setbacks, but we can still look at life with a smile;
