Many years ago, I studied "Robinson Crusoe" in the text, and I knew that this was the story of Robinson Crusoe, who liked to be adventurous, had an accident at sea, was lost to a desert island, and lived alone on a desert island.
But then I found out, whose life is not an adventure?
If you think about it, some people are still thinking about the next day's work when they go to bed at night, but when they go to sleep, they go to see death; and some people go out to work as usual, but they have a car accident on the road and can never go home again.
Every day that people live, they are taking risks.
The genius scientist and thinker Albert Einstein said: "Anyone who is sober-minded will deeply realize that life is an adventure, and the meaning of life is to constantly take from death." ”

The young Robinson had not studied the arts since he was a child, and his father hoped that he would study law and have a decent job in the future, but Robinson could not be mental about anything but wandering around, and he was especially eager for sailing adventures.
When his father learned of his plan, he strongly objected. The reason is that if you don't sail, with the help and recommendation of relatives and friends, it is not a problem to get rich and live a comfortable and comfortable life.
But the young Robinson ate the scales and finally got a chance by him to go to sea with the ship.
Soon after the ship sailed out, the wind began to blow hard, the waves were raging, and Robinson was afraid to death, but since the road was chosen, there was no way to regret it, and the ship continued to move forward, but the storm followed, and the ship sank.
Eventually, Robinson was saved and returned to London from the dry road.
The captain told Robinson that this omen showed that you should not be a sailor, otherwise there would be disaster.
But after a while, the passion for sailing burned again.
He boarded a ship to Africa and made it to Africa, where Robinson made a lot of money.
A third voyage followed, this time when Robinson encountered pirates and was captured as a slave, however, the resourceful Robinson finally found the opportunity to escape after two years as a slave and eventually reached Brazil.
In Brazil, Robinson ran a plantation, and eventually became a big planter, making a lot of money, but he was not willing to get rich like this, so he went to sea again.
People who like to take risks naturally encounter more dangers than ordinary people, but we who do not like to take risks, life is actually an adventure, because we never know what will happen in the next moment.
Life is also moving forward little by little in this unknown.

Fate is like this, there is no absolute stability, even if Robinson made a lot of preparations, but at sea there was still a big storm, the ship sank, only Robinson alone escaped and fell to a desert island.
Wandering to a desert island does not mean salvation, on the contrary, there are many unknown dangers, and Robinson only has a knife, a pipe and a small box of tobacco leaves, but with these things, people cannot survive.
The next day, he found something to use on the broken boat on the shore: bread, biscuits, meat, grains of wheat, guns, ammunition.
He searched hard for everything that could be used, and he found two saws, an axe, and a hammer, and with these things, Robinson built himself a small house.
The unlucky Robinson, who lived on a desert island, did not know when he would leave the desert island, so on the desert island, he had to be prepared to live for a long time.
He tried to catch and domesticate goats, and he preserved the goat's grease in a "saucer" made of mud, plus cotton wool as a wick, so that there was a "candle" that could be illuminated.
He experimented with growing barley and rice, trying to make pottery utensils and tools for toasting bread.
He carved vertical marks on wooden pillars to record the time.
Also try to make clothes from animal skins.
Only by actively building can we survive.
In such a situation, people do not know when they will die, and the only thing they can do is to do their best and do everything they can.
Robinson is a middle-class person, when he has money, he lives a big life and can enjoy the best material, but when there is nothing, he can also live.
Fate, that is, no matter how rich or poor, can always survive.
Behind the fate, there are also some accidents that we can never predict, which can happen anytime and anywhere.

On the desert island, sick, no doctor, all rely on hard to survive.
There was no one to speak, he could only talk to himself, or to domesticated parrots, and when there was ink, he insisted on keeping a diary.
Robinson spent more than five months making a canoe out of a large tree, and when he was done, he found that the boat was too big and too heavy, and he could not transport it to the sea at all, so he had to give up.
Robinson was self-sufficient on the island, and whenever he regretted that there was no one to communicate, he comforted himself, saying, "Isn't it better to communicate with one's own thoughts, to communicate with God Himself through prayer than to be more enjoyable than to be associated with the world?" ”
Everything passed slowly, until one day Robinson found a footprint on the island—a human footprint, and he looked around, but found nothing, only this one footprint.
Robinson, though bold, was frightened, and he hid his domesticated cattle, and the people did not dare to go out for days, fearing that he would fall into the hands of the savages.
One morning, before it was light, Robinson saw a fire on the shore, a group of savages.
But the group came and went, and it wasn't until much later, when the wildlings landed again, and Robinson saved another wildling from the wildlings, and because it was Friday, he named the wildlings "Friday."
Fridays are also cannibal savages, with terrible habits of cannibalism, and at first, Robinson was wary of Fridays.
Later, he taught Friday, taught him to speak, and taught him how to live and live for normal people.
In the beginning, Friday was scared to death when he heard the gunshots, because Robinson had killed other wildlings with guns to save Friday.
It wasn't long before Friday was ready to do all the work, and The talkative Friday, who especially liked to talk.
Later, while sailing with Friday, he sent down the cannibals and brought several captives to eat, and they rescued them, including Friday's father and several Spaniards.
One day, a British ship approached the shore, but there was a rebellion on the ship, the captain was driven off the ship, and after planning, Robinson helped the captain retake the ship, and finally returned to England by boat.
By this time, he had lived on the island for twenty-eight years.
What is adventure?
I don't know what will happen next, it's an adventure, what Robinson wants, it's a bigger, more exciting adventure, but as far as ordinary people are concerned, living is also an adventure, because tomorrow is an accident or a surprise sudden landing, no one knows.

Back at home, Robinson found that many things had changed and his parents had passed away.
He retrieved his plantation in Brazil, and he found that his fortune had multiplied many times, and he became a rich man.
Back to reality, the lives of the vast majority of people will not be so turbulent, but everyone's life is also full of storms, diseases, deaths, accidents are all the time, just like the big winds and waves that Robinson encountered, just like the dangers he encountered.
Life is never smooth sailing, everyone's life is an adventure, in this adventure, the most important thing is to live, living is success.
Just like the Fugui portrayed by the writer Yu Hua in "Alive", his life was bumpy, but his life was admirable and touching.
In this adventure of life, he did not achieve great success, did not obtain material abundance, but he lived, that is, the greatest success.
Robinson's adventures are indeed extraordinary, but all of this is meaningful only if you are alive.
Similarly, around us, some people are not willing to be mediocre, some people are not willing to spend this unique life, so they seek excitement, want to get recognized success, so desperately, some people have collapsed their bodies, fell on the road, even if they really get a lot, it has nothing to do with him.
Most of everything in life is meaningful only if you are alive.
However, some people do things that give him the greatest meaning when he is alive, so that after death, he will also be remembered.

In recent years, disasters have been repeated.
In many disasters, some people have fallen silently.
Recently, heavy rains in Shaanxi have caused river banks, landslides, and railway tracks hanging in the air, and the disaster has caused many deaths and millions of people affected.
Before this, torrential rains and earthquakes also ravaged people's hearts, and life was in the face of disasters, who dared to say that it was foolproof, even if there was a powerful motherland behind us.
People have been adventurous all their lives, every day, and from the moment we are born, the adventure continues, and to be honest, it is really not easy to survive until now.
Life is impermanent, no matter what you have, it is not absolute possession, maybe tomorrow morning when you wake up, everything changes, you don't even know yourself.
Everyone lives in impermanence, which is why life is an adventure.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="71">06</h1>
What will we see many years later when we look back on our own lives?
We will see that we are born, grow, study, work, get married and have children, until we get old, some things we try our best, but not necessarily as desired, some things come unexpectedly, such as wrinkles, such as old age.
In our lives, there are so many experiences of gain and loss, so many joys and sorrows, and maybe even some of them pass by death.
We will also see that we go from ignorance to picking up a burden behind us, we grow up from being held by adults to holding the hands of children and watching them grow up, we get, we also lose, our lives are ours, but also by us.
The only certain thing we are sure of in this adventure of life is that we have nothing but the present moment.
We have worked hard, but we may not be able to guarantee the result, and if we fight, we may not be able to guarantee success, but we understand better that without effort in the present, the future will be more difficult.
This adventure of life, trying to live, is the winner.
