Only by living like a person can you see beauty.

Only by living like a person can you see beauty.

I usually don't ask engineers if they have gone to listen to music or go to exhibitions. Instead, I ask them, "you've been working here for five years. Can anyone tell me what kind of trees are in front of the company?" but few people can answer.

In fact, the leaves in the row of olive kernels in front of their company are so beautiful that the green will shine in the sun. Later, when I went there again, an employee said to me, "Thank you for telling me this. Now when I get off work, I will first look at the olive kernel and then go home, so I am less likely to quarrel with my wife." "

He also asked me whether my 5-year-old daughter should learn piano or violin in the future, but I suggested that it was more important for him to hug his daughter when he got off work at 11:00. Because all art tells human stories, if a child does not remember his father's body temperature, she will not be moved to see pictures or listen to music in the future. If there is no human memory, all art is just showing off to her.

Since we were young, we ignored the feelings of people because we were busy at work, but when we were busy, you were still alone, and you had to remind yourself every minute to come back to be a human being. When you see beauty, you will feel that the world is worth living. If all you see is a brand and a fake beauty, you may not be happy, but it may be the cause of your depression.

To find the feeling of beauty is actually very simple, to touch a leaf, to smell the smell of torrential rain in a very hot summer and after the afternoon, that is the feeling that we have memories, and it will trigger our feelings and feelings.

Now beauty often becomes new knowledge and new pressure, and the doctor may have no sense of beauty, but an illiterate farmer in Meinung can be very beautiful. He can see the beauty of the moonlight and the beauty of the rice waves. Beauty is the greatest wealth, it will not be different because of your education, but because your part of the person is incomplete.

If you are confident, there is no need to compare

Many people like to compare whether they are wearing designer clothes, whether the car they drive is a BMW or a Jaguar, and some people like to compare whose classes they have taken recently and which books they have read. It sounds like a different comparison, but spiritual comparison seems to be more noble than material comparison, but not necessarily. In my opinion, a sense of comparison is a lack of self-confidence.

Blindly compare with others, sooner or later will move towards "materialization".

People are very strange, very often will rely on external things in order to make themselves confident.

For example, when I was a child, most of the children had poor financial conditions and poor nutrition. But there is a classmate who is very tall and sturdy. He walks like a tiger and is very confident.

Human civilization is very interesting, slowly develop, you will find that people can have a variety of different ways to make themselves confident, but only if there is a more mature and rich cultural support.

For example, although I am very short, I am tall on the other hand. I may be mentally or spiritually, or I may have some special skills. I very much look forward to such a society, the emergence of such a culture, so that everyone has his own different values.

Our society is indeed moving towards pluralism. for example, there are many places that require the design of "barrier-free space". When I was a kid, where I had such a thing, I was crippled. But we don't use that name now, because he hasn't wasted it.

This is not just a change of name, but people rethink whether the judgment made in the past is useless or useless, but now it is found that he is not, and he may have other strong abilities to develop.

I think this is one of the biggest foundations of a pluralistic society. People are not regulated.

Institutionalization is to use English scores and math scores to determine whether the student is good or not. Only if we do not personalize, can other elements of a person be discovered and enrich his self-confidence.

Our society is slowly moving in this direction, but at the same time, there are some disturbances, such as mercantilism and mercenary values, which will make pluralism tend to be single. After simplification, there will be a voice like this: "what's the use of being admitted to a university? singers have millions of people in their pockets after advertising. That's really true."

Therefore, the simplification of value is what we are worried about.

A mature society, each role should have its own positioning, there is a different positioning process, everyone can be satisfied with the role he plays. This concept has become very mature in some advanced countries in Europe, and they have long attached importance to the value of life, so their self-confidence is not based on comparison with others.

That's enough. It's a philosophy of happiness.

Many people compare clothes, cars, houses, and all kinds of things in life. But in my opinion, a sense of comparison is a lack of self-confidence.

A confident person is full of and rich in what he has. He may feel envious, admire and admire what others have but he does not have it. But he looks back and does himself peacefully.

Just like the so-called "perfect self-sufficiency" in religion or philosophy, there is no desire, no greed, and live fully in the satisfaction of happiness.

This is not the same as abstinence. For example, religion has mature and immature religions. Immature religion requires people to achieve "no desire and no greed" in a very short period of time, so they advocate abstinence. Mature religion, on the contrary, allows you to understand what desire is, and then you will be relieved, feel at ease, and there will be new happiness, which is called self-sufficiency.

The industrial revolution in the West is earlier than ours, and the development of science and technology is faster than ours, so they have passed that stage of comparison and desire, and instead they have come back to be themselves in peace. He will not think that making less money is bad, or that he is inferior to others, nor will he rush to imitate others and copy other people's experiences.

There are never more than 4,000 egg tower stores in Paris at the same time, which is impossible to happen. However, you will smell a very special fragrance in a small corner of the city, which is made by the coffee shop owner himself. Twenty years ago, you were drinking coffee there. Twenty years later, you would still drink coffee there, watching the owner grow old, but still happily making coffee there.

There must be an irreplaceable sense of satisfaction.

I think the greatest joy of coming back to Paris every time is to find the confidence of so many people. Every corner has a person's self-confidence, and quietly, do not want to disturb others.

For example, the owner of an ice cream shop, who sells ice cream without milk, has been waiting in a long line in front of the shop for decades. But he would never want to talk about opening more branches. He seems to have a "enough" feeling, that "enough" is a very difficult philosophy: I do this thing, very happy, everyone who eats my ice cream is also very happy, so, enough.

This kind of happiness is what I have always hoped to learn.
