I was born in April 1963, a rabbit who has gone through a long time. Looking back on the past, my father's teachings were like bells in the depths of the years, echoing in my heart for a long time. "Young people, don't think about having wine today and getting drunk today, and when you have money, think more about the predicament when you don't have money."
At that time, I was in my youth and full of spirit, and although I heard my father's words, I couldn't take them to heart. At that age, the world in my eyes was full of infinite possibilities and opportunities, and I always felt that I had a lot of time and opportunities to work hard and accumulate in the future.
If you have money, don't forget the day when you don't have money,
How have you seen a few people in distress,
People come to me to ask me for three spring rains,
I beg others to be cold.
At that time, my understanding was more of a feeling of the cold state of the world and a precaution against the warmth and coldness of human feelings. I know that wealth is hard to come by, and I understand the difficulty of asking others for help in difficult situations. So, work hard and save money hard in order to have an umbrella to protect you from the wind and rain in the possible future storms.
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, I am over sixty years old. His once jet-black hair was dyed with silver frost, and his once vigorous pace had become a little faltering. Looking back at the ups and downs along the way, and then looking at my father's sentence back then, "There is wine today and drunk today", I have a completely different understanding.
Life, in just a few decades, is like a white horse passing by, rushing by. As I walked through one decade after another, I realized more and more deeply that no one can predict what will happen tomorrow, and no one can be sure how many decades they have to live. Once, for the so-called future, for those uncertain goals, I buried my head in hard work, missed too much scenery along the way, and ignored too much of the beauty of the present.
Now that I think about it, are those things that I once desperately pursued really that important? Sacrificing time with family for work; In order to save money, many pleasures that could have been enjoyed were given up. When the years pass, those missed moments can never be repeated, and those unexperienced beauty become eternal regrets in my heart.
At the age of 60, I began to understand that "there is wine today and drunk today" is not to advocate profligacy and recklessness, but to tell us to cherish the present moment and live in the present. Life is full of uncertainties and impermanence, the future is unknown, and this is what we can truly grasp. Instead of worrying about the unknown tomorrow, it is better to enjoy today's sunshine, today's laughter, and today's warmth.
Do what you should do and want to do, and try not to leave regrets in your life. If you want to travel, you should pack your bags and embark on a journey, to see the beautiful rivers and mountains, and feel the different customs and customs; If you want to accompany your family, you should put down the trivial things in your hands, chat with them about family life, and share the joy of family; If you want to pursue your hobbies, you should be brave enough to try, even if you start from scratch, you can reap happiness and satisfaction in the process.
There is no turning back in life, the past has passed, the future has not yet come, only the present is the most real existence. We are always looking forward to the future in our busyness, but we forget that the present is the true meaning of life. When we look back, we don't regret what we did, but we regret what we didn't do.
In the second half of my life, I learned to slow down and feel the beauty of life with my heart. A blooming flower, a warm hug, and a gathering of old friends can make me feel the gift of life. No longer run around for fame and fortune, no longer suppress your heart for the eyes of others!
Perhaps, for young people, "there is wine today and drunk tomorrow" is a kind of indulgence and irresponsibility; But for us who have gone through the ups and downs and the vicissitudes of life, it is a relief of life and a cherishing of limited time.
Friends, no matter what stage of life you are in, I hope you can not forget to cherish the present while pursuing the future. Don't let the years pass in a hurry, leaving only endless regrets and sighs. Let's embrace every day with our hearts and let every moment of life be full of sunshine and warmth.
Because, life is short, and there is wine today, so why not get drunk today?
