Happy as soon as you go

Happy as soon as you go

Wang Yesong

Tomorrow I am going to leave again, and my wife saw me with a happy look and said: As long as you leave, you will be happy. I'm glad that this is a compliment or a disparagement, anyway, she is telling the truth.

Indeed, I was happy as soon as I set out. Why? Because you can go into the vast world. Walk out of the house like a mountain bird flying out of a bird cage.

When you set off, you can get at zero distance from nature, you can enjoy all kinds of beautiful scenery, you can directly touch the scenery, touch the mountains, plains, rivers, and streams. You embrace these scenes, and they will reward you with spiritual enjoyment and make you feel refreshed.

When you set off, you can get in touch with the truth of the world and the world. You can interact with all kinds of people, some even if you can't be friends, you can also know more, understand the diversity and complexity of society, identify who he is, so that your thinking is not too simple.

When you go, you can enjoy a different kind of enjoyment than at home.

Some people are afraid to fly, but I think of flying as the New Year, and every time I fly can make me excited. Some people say that the food on the plane is not delicious, but I have experienced another flavor every time. I feel the incomparable pleasure of off-site dining. For example, drinking coffee on an airplane is very different from drinking coffee at home and in a coffee shop. I also enjoyed freshly baked pizza in first class on the plane, which is different from eating pizza at a pizzeria on the street. For example, if you eat steak and pasta at a Western restaurant on the ski slope at an altitude of 1700 meters, you will not experience it from a Western restaurant on the street, because there is a rich cultural factor in it.

On the go, you can gain knowledge, identify a wide variety of flowers, plants, fish, insects and ancient trees, and learn about social customs and folklore. Nature, the great society, and the big times will not only selflessly give you a wide range of knowledge, but also cultivate your temperament and let you maintain your health. If you have seen more and more, you will not be less common and strange when you encounter things; if you have seen more knowledge, you will naturally have more ways to deal with things, have reasonable handling plans, and improve your ability to solve problems. The more knowledge you have, the more you have cultivated, the more you will naturally show in society that you are "self-absorbed with poetry and bookishness." "Your knowledge is wide, it will make you ordinary but not mediocre, although you do not pursue greatness, but you will naturally appear different in the ordinary."

I was happy as soon as I set off. Every time I set off, I can harvest three stages of happiness: happiness before departure, happiness during departure, and happiness when I return home after departure. If I set off in succession, I would make these pleasures superimpose and save, and my happiness would be thicker.

Set off, not to empty yourself, but to pursue. Every time I set out, I think of it as a bee picking pollen, and I want to make pollen into honey, and I tell the reader with a pen what I saw and what I thought. I want the reader to feel the beauty with me, to enjoy the beauty, to be happy with me.

Go, whether you can be happy, this is related to everyone's cultivation, philosophy and mentality, see more can not be widely informed, this is related to your heart and mind. If you don't care, get in the car to sleep, get off the car to pee, take pictures of the scenic spots, and come home and ask what you don't know. Such a fruitless departure makes no sense. Qian Zhongshu, a famous scholar and writer in contemporary China, said: "If you don't read a book, you will travel thousands of miles, and you will only be a postman." We must not only travel thousands of miles, but also read thousands of books.

Set off, happy, but not a "postman".

If you want to live a meaningful life, you must often set off, harvest in the departure, experience in the departure, and improve in the departure.
