A person's outstanding, from the beginning of loneliness

Loneliness is the best period of appreciation.

Have heard such a sentence: mediocre people with lively fill the void, outstanding people in the lonely achievement of self.

A great event, will go through a period of time no one cares, quietly work, quietly top, no song, a blockbuster.

In 2012, architect Wang Shu won the Pritzker Prize, the world's highest honor in architecture.

Talking about the secret of success, Wang Shu said:

"I have all those lonely years to thank. When I was a child, I fell in love with painting because of loneliness, and had an ignorant concept of architecture.

After graduation, many designs were inspired by that period because of solitude and the ability to calm down and think."

His path to business was fraught with difficulties.

From the moment he entered the architecture industry, he was labeled as "non-mainstream", "can't read", is the evaluation of his work by many people.

In the ten years after graduation from the university, seeing his classmates have their own achievements, he was like a retreat, soaking in the construction site all day.

Usually engaged in manual labor with artisans, leisure on the West Lake, drinking tea, reading.

"I'm going to go quietly on my own and see how far I can go," he said.

During this period of silence, Wang Shu devoted himself to the study of architecture, formed a set of his own aesthetic system, and eventually became a master of architecture.

When writer Lu Yao was writing The Ordinary World, he lived alone in the desert for several years.

On a snowy day he had only two mice to keep him company.

Monotonous lonely years, but gave birth to enough shocking words.

Oprah once said, "All those moments alone are what make us who we are."

Loneliness is the best period of appreciation.

Endure the loneliness in the process of breaking cocoon into butterfly, just have the power of soaring.

Loneliness is the beginning of a strong.

ShiTiesheng once said, "It is easier for a person to see the time and see his own shadow in the calm light pervading the garden."

Only by constantly looking inward can one tear off the labels others have put on you and find the true self.

More than 20 years after his debut, Chen Kun, young and famous, has a bright future. In the eyes of outsiders, he is already a winner in life.

But only he knows how dark those first days were.

He was overwhelmed by the sudden wealth and fame.

The outside world called him a "playmaker" and "vase", so he fell into deep self-denial and doubt, he even suffered from depression.

"Sleepless nights, world-weary, pessimistic, feeling that life has no meaning. I got close to the window a few times and almost jumped."

At that time, Chen Kun refused all the drama contracts, shut himself up at home, constantly reflecting on himself, asking himself, listening to the voice of the heart.

Since then, meditation, yoga, hiking and mountain climbing have become his main lifestyle, and he spends a lot of time communicating with himself every day.

Gradually, he came out.

In one interview, Yang LAN asked him:

"After your debut, for a long time, the audience thought you were a vase actor. Do you struggle with the word vase?"

"I'm still a vase," he said with a smile. "I used to get angry, but now I'm calm."

In martial arts novels, there is a unique way of cultivation called "seclusion".

Living alone for a certain period of time, not interacting with other people, and devoting themselves to spiritual cultivation.

Many people in this alone time, understand the mind, reach a higher state.

Loneliness, is not a kind of "closed"?

When you go through that time alone, you become strong inside.

The voices that are bothering you will disappear, and your anxiety will calm down. You will stop following the footsteps of the outside world and gradually find your own rhythm.

Life is a single journey, lonely before is confused, lonely after is growth.

Nietzsche once said:

"Today you are a lone eccentric, you are isolated, and one day you will be a people."

When no one is interested, don't hesitate, insist on storing strength, survive that time.

Loneliness is a gift from heaven.
