A person's situation is often subjective, whether it is hardship or pleasure.
Some people are content with a certain life, while others cannot. Therefore, those who can be content with their current situation can live like this, while those who cannot can only strive to find another way out. You cannot assert where success comes from, nor can you be sure if you will be happy when you reach a certain point. Some people never feel satisfied, their happiness is only built on the process of constantly pursuing and striving, therefore, their goals constantly move towards the distance. This kind of person may have less happiness, but their achievements may be greater.
The joys and sorrows depend entirely on one's own judgment, which may not necessarily be directly related to the objective environment. Just like a woman who does not love jewelry, even in an environment that values vanity greatly, it does not hurt her self-esteem. A poor scholar with ten thousand books does not want to exchange diamonds or stocks with a millionaire, and those who are satisfied with rural life do not envy any scholar's honorary title or high official salary.
Your hobbies are your direction, your interests are your capital, and your temperament is your destiny. Everyone has their own ideal paradise and a colorful world they enjoy.
A friend talked about his relatives who had never worn shoes that fit their feet in their entire lives and often walked around wearing huge shoes. If someone asked her, she would say, "Shoes of all sizes are priced the same, why not buy bigger ones?" Every time I recounted this story, some people would laugh out loud.
In fact, we will see many people like this in our daily lives. A writer without much thought, yet writing heavy and bitter works; A painter without much content, yet still paints super giant paintings; Merchants who are often away from home have very large homes. Many people constantly pursue greatness, but they are actually driven by their inner greed, just like buying oversized shoes and forgetting their own feet. No matter what shoes you buy, fit is the most important. No matter what you pursue, you should always limit yourself.
A person's life is often in a state of decision-making, such as: which university to attend? Which profession should I choose? What kind of partner are you looking for? The presence or absence of a person's decision-making ability can indicate whether their personality is mature or not. However, those who lack independent thinking do not suffer from the pain of decision-making. Because every time he needs to make a decision, he always asks others, 'Hey, what do you think we should do?'
Those who can achieve great success are people with strong decision-making power. He knows the success or failure of things and cares about himself. No one can do it for him, let alone make decisions for him.
At the moment of decision, the signs of success or failure have already emerged.
I often remind myself and persuade my friends with the phrase 'a person is like this for a lifetime'. These seven words are easy to say, simple to hear, but deep to remember. It can make me brave in times of weakness, humble in times of pride, positive in times of decadence, joyful in times of pain, and willing to let go of anything I can afford, so I call it the 'seven word proverb'.
Everyone has their own favorite flowers, and everyone has many reasons to treat themselves well, condensing their lifetime into a lasting fragrance in the river of time. At the moment of blooming, it will attract all eyes with its dazzling brilliance.
