Be yourself

Be good at finding your happiness

By Parton BTangPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

Some time ago, I read some articles about Tao Yuanming, which aroused my interest in the author.

One of my favorite "Peach Blossom Land records", which describes the like fairyland of the peach is my longing place. Therefore, after learning the author left me like the fairy general ethereal excellent impression. But then read a "Lotus said" said he and chrysanthemum, see not used to earthly trifles and want to isolate, in order to set off the author out of the mud and not dyed, there is no lack of derogatory meaning. I don't entirely agree with that.

There are several people who have such interest as Tao Yuanming, so he must be a gentleman with extraordinary temperament like his articles. As a poet, I need this kind of temperament. As a politician, worrying about the country and the people is of course the most important thing, which he does not fully possess, because it is not right for him to give up and enjoy his own life just because he does not like what he sees and let thieves run amok in the court. However, if the court could not be saved, and he would surely die if he participated in it, there would be one less person in the world who is accomplished in art, can bring some blessings to the people, and can realize one of his most important dreams. I think a wise person would choose the latter, because after all, he has different aspirations from Zhou Dunyi.

Hoeing the fields all day long, loosening the soil, planting. To plant flowers, to write their favorite articles on these topics, to live a completely different life from the past, every day has a fresh feeling, so that later generations comment a lot and get rid of the hated earth days, this is to enjoy life. And this kind of life is not living in the modern people yearn for the most?

"Out of the silt and not dyed, Zhulian but not demon" this kind of state is of course ordinary people can not reach, because people will be affected by the environment, the so-called "close to the red, close to the black" is the truth. It is unlikely that Liu Woo-suk will pursue it. Tao Yuanming knew it very well. That's why he was afraid of being polluted and stayed away from trouble. Staying away, although not the most effective way but it is more feasible.

He had ambitions, too, but not to get rid of corrupt officials, but to live a leisurely life, carefree, like a peach garden. There is no cattle busy so tenacious, there is also a cliff bamboo so with the spirit of struggle, more no dandelion so happy, like a cloud, according to their own ideas of life, random change, change home, the most important: everything according to their own, live a different life, don't have a hole.

But he is still not ordinary people, not just for the sake of living and work and work, all his life is for his own happiness, all work is to find creative inspiration in the work, find the source of happiness. He didn't expect to sell his articles for a good price to support his family. He just wanted to be his bosom friend and communicate with himself, that's all.

Maybe what I think is not correct, maybe he is having some difficulties before retiring from the river and lake, maybe he does not have my mind like the general state of mind, maybe it is just coincidence that the posterity saw his smart side, but I do like the legend of the people.

In my eyes, Tao Yuanming is as handsome as an immortal. He is good at finding his own happiness, knowing what he should do and what he should not do, and enjoying life.

Live Yourself 700 Words 2

People live in this world, some are live for themselves, some are not only live for themselves, but also live for others. Those who are dreamers and those who are realists. Both kinds of people, whether or not, they are worthy of recognition. They have all gone through the world for a time, for themselves, for others, they have come to life, they have made their own life to live their own color, their own essence.

I appreciate the words of Romain Rolland: everyone has his hidden essence, and unlike any other essence, it makes people have their own smell. Yes, people do have their own smell. Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, there can be no two identical people in the world. We are all living in the moment, we grasp their own life, but sometimes, we are always ignorant lost self, lost in the crossroad of life.

The end of Handan learning to walk is pathetic, Ye Gong good dragon is a sight to sigh. I wonder, why do some people always have to be ignorant to worship, to imitate, to live their own is not good? You are unique, you are different, you are your own idol, you are in charge of your own life, isn't it more meaningful to live? People in the world but a few decades of time, missed, lost, will never come back. Is it foolish for a helmsman in a storm to put his own life on the line for the sake of learning from others? Every man is like a boat in the ocean of life, the course of which is in your hands.

In this competitive market, if you are not a gold, and want to be a grain of sand, then you will be buried on the beach, perhaps never get Bole's appreciation; The more likely you are to be different and unique, the more likely you are to be discovered. So why not be unique?

For those who are lost in the river, it is vital to grasp the self!

Live out of yourself, is the most wonderful!
