A philosopher has said:

Every human being is searching for the value and meaning of life since he or she was born.

Because everyone has different concepts, ideas, and pursuits, the things they do and the values they believe in are different. Because of this, the world has become a colorful place.

Some people devote themselves to the field of medicine, some are good at business, some work part-time, some become big officials, and some are full of plums. ……

You have your life choices, and he has his goal to pursue so that the world of the red world has more contradictions, struggles, and conflicts, but also more unique, colorful, variable, and beautiful.

Everyone is their own “life online” novel in the protagonist, how to live a good life, whether or not life is worth it, and others have nothing to do with, only with their own cognitive, choice related.

Famous writer William said:

I didn’t come to this world to reproduce. Rather, I came to see how flowers bloom and how water flows. How the sun rises and when the sun sets.

I live in the world, just want to understand some truth, meet some interesting things. Life is an accident, and I am looking for the cause and effect in it.

In his opinion, the biggest difference between human beings and beasts is that beasts have only the pursuit of reproduction, while human beings have not only the pursuit of reproduction but also other better pursuits.

Reproduction is natural. When we reach the age of procreation, everyone’s biological desire becomes particularly strong, and this is an instinct that is engraved in our biological genes.

Some people may say, “What else do people want to do besides reproducing their offspring? Actually, there are a lot of pursuits. Realizing one’s dream is a pursuit, going into business is a pursuit, and even doing something you like is a pursuit.

In life, there is always a need to do something to comfort the soul, to marvel at the years, and to live up to the time of life in these hundreds and hundreds of years.

The years are too fast if you don’t take advantage of your youth to do something you want to do, it will be a regret.

The greatest reward in a man’s life is not to pass on the family name, but to fulfill these four words —

live from the heart.

The heart is the truth and the heart is the universe.

This means that our heart tells us how to live and what to do with our lives, and that living from the heart is the truth.

If you want to live an ordinary life, then live from your heart and live an ordinary life without caring too much about what others think and see. There is no need to care too much about what other people think or see.

He is him, you are you, and your pursuits are not the same.

If you want to embrace the world of life, then you can travel around, to see different places of humanities, and scenery, enhance your own vision, and feel the poetry and distant places.

Meaning is in your heart.

If you want to start a small business and become a small boss, you can see if you have the ability to do so.

If you have worked hard and tried your best, no matter whether you are successful or not, you are still worthy of yourself.

The essence of living from the heart does not lie in how big a career one achieves, but in being true to oneself. Do not reach old age, only to lament their own wasted life, then, it is final, can not change anything.

Life is not only about what you have in front of you but also about poetry and faraway places. Whether it’s the easy life, the poem, or the faraway place, it’s all in the heart's choice.

To live from the heart, the prerequisite is not to care about what others think or see.

In a humane society, we all care about what others think and see. If others think it is right to do so, we also think it is right to do so, completely lacking in our own opinions.

People around you tell you that you need to be rich and famous to be successful, but you just want to be an ordinary person, do you really need to be rich and famous? You don’t need to.

First of all, what other people think is their concept, not ours. Secondly, life is our own, we want to live how we want to live, it has nothing to do with others.

A man who is truly alive and well will not make things difficult for himself for the sake of the so-called vanity, face, or other people’s eyes. It doesn’t matter if you have vanity or face, as long as you are happy, that’s enough.

There is a man in town who, when he reaches middle age, likes to go fishing alone, fishing all day long. Certain nosy relatives wondered why you don’t go to do investment, what’s the upside of fishing?

The man did not respond to them,

in the man’s opinion, this is my own fun, you recognize it or not, that’s your business, and do not eat your family’s rice, I’m happy just fine.

the reporter interviewed a successful person and asked him: What do you think is the meaning of life?

he said,

Do these two things. First, to do what you like and be able to support yourself; second, to live with the people you like.

Doing what you like is the pursuit and meaning of life. You like what you like, I like what I like, you do what you like, I do what I like, we do not interfere with each other, and life becomes colorful, harmonious, and tasty.

Modern people, especially men, will live a very tired life, and feel meaningless life, just like a corpse.

In fact, it’s not that life is meaningless, it’s just that they care too much about other people’s eyes, and they don’t live from the heart. The key to being a zombie is not in others but in oneself.

For the rest of your life, you should live according to your own wishes, and that’s enough!
