The mood of pursuing dreams should never be erased
Katsuro Matsuoka is the son of a fish shop, and he did have a dream of becoming a musician since he was a child, and in his second year of junior high school, he came into contact with the guitar by chance, and this encounter made him fall in love with the guitar and love music.
Krone made a wish to his parents for a guitar, and after repeated insistence, he got the only old guitar in his life.
Since then, Krone has practiced guitar hard, formed a band in high school, joined a music club in college, and in order to be able to devote himself more wholeheartedly to music, Krone finally chose to give up his studies.
After dropping out of college, he began composing his own lyrics and compositions, participating in various amateur singer competitions, and sending auditions to record companies.
However, the dream stretched out the bud of hope to Krone, but the reality did not favor him, the game was lost, the audition tape was also sunk in the sea, and Krone, who was returning to his hometown after his grandmother's funeral, fell into confusion.
Without anyone to tell, Krone threw his troubled letter into the troubled counseling box of the Langya grocery store, and got the reply by chance: Your persistent pursuit of music is not in vain. Please always believe in this, until the last moment of your life.
Since then, Krone has once again strengthened his passion for music, and he has indeed been as he was instructed in his reply, until he rescued Xiaoqin's brother from the fire and sacrificed his life, and did not give up music. And his music has also been continued because of Xiaoqin, which makes people feel infinitely emotional and moving.
Sanmao once said:
A person has at least one dream and a reason to be strong. If the mind has no place to dwell, it is wandering everywhere.
For us, dreams are a noble and distant word, and we can't be as honest and desperate as Craone.
However, when we look back, we will find out how unfortunate it is not to stick to our dreams.
In fact, we don't have to set too much difficulty, even if it is just a matter of interest, or a pleasure that wants to stick to it, it is indeed valuable.
A person's life should be supported by dreams, not full of desires that tend to profit.
It's not hard to find a dream of your own, and starting with your hobbies is a good way to do it. First find a favorite thing, set a goal you want to achieve, and move towards this goal little by little every day. Even if it is not a big achievement, we will find more happiness, confidence and satisfaction in it.
Trust your parents and they will love their children in their own way
During the summer vacation at the end of junior high school, Kosuke Anda learned of his parents' decision to abscond overnight because of debt, and Kosuke threw a troublesome letter to the Nanaya Grocery Store because of this decision that subverted his life.
As the first real annoyance consultation of the Nanaya grocery store, the owner Ofa Yayuji Gave this reply: Maybe there will be a lot of suffering in the middle, but because of this, the whole family is more necessary to be together.
Kosuke, who received a reply, decided to go on the road with his family, but on the way, he was completely disappointed in his parents and chose to run away from home.
After some twists and turns, in order not to expose the fact that he had absconded overnight, Kosuke, who changed his pseudonym, was sent to the orphanage "Marukoen" and grew up to become a wood carving craftsman.
When he returned to his hometown a few years later, he learned that after he left, his parents had gone to a dead end together because they could not find him, in order to make people think that the Kazuku family was no longer alive.
Only then did he understand that his parents had chosen to give up their lives in order to hide his whereabouts and to let him live well. At this time, he felt the love of his parents for himself and the protection of his parents.
Bi Shumin once said in "Filial Piety is Priceless":
Parents are there, life still has a place to come; parents go, life is only the way home.
Parents give us the starting point of life, but also our life to rely on, when we encounter difficulties, parents will give us selfless support.
Our parents raised us, protected us, shielded us from the wind and rain, and guided us on the path of growth.
It is because of the love of our parents that we can grow up smoothly, and even if sometimes our parents do not express anything to us, we should understand that they will care for us in their own way.
In this world, the most trustworthy and most trustworthy are our parents.
Help others to relieve their worries and get the opportunity to regain the meaning of life
Yuji Nanaya runs a small lang goods grocery store, which sells stationery and other small items, and has a special service - "trouble consultation".
When Yuji was nearly seventy years old, his wife died of a heart attack, and without his wife's company, he lived alone and alone, which made Yuji collapse all over.
But sometimes life suddenly takes a turn for the worse, and Yuji, because of the jokes of elementary school students, mistakenly starts the work of annoying counseling.
In the process of answering the troubles of others, Yuji regained his enthusiasm for life and devoted himself to the affairs of the troubles and consulting, and did it for more than ten years without interruption.
Yuji has answered all kinds of questions, and his sincerity is worthy of every inquiry letter put into the mailbox, and he is also worthy of every answer that is placed in the milk box.
In the end, Yuji miraculously got the answer that haunted his heart through "The Resurrection of The Only Night at The Nanaya Grocery Store", and successively put the thank-you letters into the mailbox, telling him that the sincere answers he gave really helped those who had been trapped.
As the Czech novelist Milan Kundera put it:
A person's value lies in the ability to expand oneself, to step out of oneself, and to understand and help others.
Many times we also want to help others and do something for others, but we are discouraged by many concerns.
Do others really need my help? Am I right to do this? Will helping others make me lose my own profits? The more you ask yourself questions, the more you stop moving, and the simple things you could have done have been repeatedly missed.
In fact, you don't have to think too complicated, as long as there are people in need of help in front of you, you can reach out, do what you can is a good start.
In the process of helping others, we can re-examine ourselves, re-recognize our own strengths and weaknesses, know ourselves better, understand ourselves, and regain our confidence and enthusiasm for life.
