While desperately trying to make money, this generation of young people knows better than anyone that money can only be a tool, far from an end. In the group introduction of Douban's "Women's Financial Investment Group 1", the group leader quoted a sentence from American investor Charlie Munger: "When I reach a certain stage in my life, I am determined to become a rich person." It's not because of the love of money, it's about pursuing that sense of independence. I like to be able to speak my mind freely and not be dictated by the will of others. ”

I like a quote:
"There is no better wealth in the world than health, and there is no greater happiness than inner happiness. ”
When a person reaches a certain age and has an illness, you will understand:
Only when the body is healthy can you live your life the way you want.
There are some things that can only be gradually understood by experiencing them, and some truths can only be found to be true when we look back.
The so-called secret of longevity, in addition to eating more fruits and vegetables and paying attention to the rules of work and rest, is more important to do the following 3 points.

I've heard this passage:
"The best doctors of man are air, sunlight and movement. It heals not only the body, but also the mind. ”
The biggest charm of sports is that it allows you to invest at the lowest cost and reap the highest cost-effective returns.
My grandmother retired and moved back to the countryside.
She wakes up at 6 a.m. every morning and starts her day with a lap around the nearby trail before heading home to prepare breakfast and start the day.
Before the sun went down, my grandmother would go out and jog around the mountain trail, and she persisted like this for two or three years, and now in her 60s, she still looks like she is in her early 40s.
When I asked my grandmother why she loved sports so much, she said, "When I was young, I had a serious illness, and I regretted my life." Exercising every day can make your heart feel more grounded. ”
Yes, the body is the foundation of a happy life, and most of those who like to exercise have a stronger body.
Harvard Medical School professor Reddy, after years of follow-up investigation, found that:
The significance of exercise is not only to keep fit, but also to strengthen the brain, and ultimately to improve both health and cognition.
This brings me to this sentence:
"Exercise is an investment that you won't regret, and when you start to fall in love with sports, your health will love you too. ”
Although exercise does not help us solve any practical problems in life, it can give people a way to release bad emotions and strengthen their body.
Wu Yanshu, the national grandmother, is 84 years old and still maintains the habit of exercising and fitness.
She can do a one-minute tablet support in addition to shooting, a minute of Xiaoyanfei, and a one-minute horse;
In her old age, she still insisted on walking 6,000 steps a day and occasionally played basketball.
I like a quote:
"The dopamine of running is second only to falling in love, three kilometers are dedicated to treating all kinds of unhappiness, five kilometers are dedicated to treating all kinds of internal injuries, and ten kilometers are full of openness and kindness in my heart. ”
Just imagine, come to a hearty exercise, let the sweat take away the gloomy mood, the whole person's state will be refreshed?
So, now, let's get moving!

Make hay
I've never hidden my thirst for wealth.

A few days ago, an old friend of many years suddenly said in a slur manner:
"Can you lend me 10,000 yuan first, and I'll pay you back this month's salary." My dad was sick and hospitalized, and the expenses for this month were so great that I couldn't afford to pay the mortgage. ”
Without saying a word, I turned him around.
A few years ago, when everyone went to school, the scene of heartlessness is still vivid, but in the past few years, everyone has become an adult who is running around for life.
It is also when life is brought by illness, disaster and embarrassment that we realize that it is really miserable to have no money.
There's a saying that goes like this:
"Lack of money is the beginning of your collapse, without the support of money, life gives you a slap, and you are powerless to fight back. ”
Don't wait until the slap of life comes over you to know how much your face hurts.
So now many young people are:
You say I can't get married, I don't care, but you want to say that I can't get rich, and I can't sleep for a few nights.
Although money cannot be all you pursue, in the world, it is your confidence.
You have to let the world know that you are not a bully.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, others are all three provinces of my body - frequent reflection every day, but you can only "save" my body three times - save some food, save some drink, save some use.
A very realistic passage:
"Working hard to make money is for the day in the future, we can all say: It's good to have money! instead of helplessly saying: It's good to have money!"
So, don't stress "contentment" when you have nothing, it's just a lack of progress or a lack of work.
What can really make people "happy" is the determination to forge ahead without stopping their efforts, and they get what they want because of their efforts.
In this case, what reason and excuse do we have not to work hard to make money and save money?

alone
Some time ago, I saw 44-year-old Gao Yuanyuan being interviewed on the Internet, and she quietly talked about her understanding of life at this stage in front of the camera.
Many people describe her as "very light" now, and she is inseparable from the entertainment industry.
She said she was enjoying more and more the dull days of removing makeup and being alone.
This reminds me of Beauvoir's words:
"If you're a woman who wants to 'be something,' always retain a certain range of freedom and solitude. ”
Writer Chen Zhongzhong once shared his life in "My Literary Road".
He said that when he was 44 years old, he encountered a low point in his life, he couldn't write good words, his heart was very impetuous, and he had no way to stay alone.
So, he found friends, chatted, and partyed, hoping to find some writing material from the outside world.
But a few months have passed, and I have found a lot of material, but I have no soul, and I write as much as I want.
Later, he packed a few clothes, took the train, and returned to his hometown.
In his hometown, he walked alone along the northern slope of the village, watching the willow leaves turn from green to yellow, and watching the sun rise in the east and set in the west.
When he was alone, he began to be able to calm down and roll noodles, give himself a bowl of steaming noodles, eat slowly, and then fall asleep quietly.
At night, he pushed the window open and the breeze blew in his face. The night is like water, and he is grateful that the world is so beautiful.
In his alone time, he continued to be inspired, and finally created "White Deer Plain".
Chen Zhongzhong said: "As soon as I leave the hustle and bustle of the city and return to the green plain of my hometown, my heart will calm down. ”
Yes, Schopenhauer once said, "We suffer all our misfortunes because we cannot bear to be alone." ”
I think you can't get along with yourself, but you always want to deal with others.
Now I understand more and more what Lao Tzu said: "Quiet life is fixed, and fixed life is wisdom".
The best state of life is abundant quiet, and such a state can only be reached when you are alone.

In the past few days, I have seen this passage, which has especially healed me, and I will share it with you:
If one day, you suddenly feel that the steaming steamed buns, corn, tea eggs in the roadside breakfast shop are very healing;
The prompt sound on public transportation becomes pleasant, and you feel relaxed when you look at the blue sky, white clouds, flowers and trees along the way;
The tranquility of a rainy day soothes the depression, and the moonlight shining into the corner of the wall looks very gentle;
Before going to bed, I rarely think about unpleasant things, even if I have insomnia from time to time and go to bed late, I am no longer anxious.
There is no doubt that you are slowly getting better, and you have become the best friend with yourself.
May each of us have a healthy body, a long-term wealth and an abundant heart, and live an ordinary life to shine.
