The hardest thing in the world is to wait, the best thing is to have.

Lin Qingxuan said: "There are many things worth waiting for in life.

Sometimes it's a song, sometimes it's a movie. Sometimes it's cherry trees, sometimes it's travel. Sometimes it's a lifetime of waiting for someone. What awaits us is sometimes an unforgettable meeting and sometimes the parting of a broken heart."

Life is always waiting.

Have heard such a story:

A depressed young man complained to a respected master, "Life is always unhappy." Difficulties and setbacks surrounded me. Is that all I can do with my life?"

The master smiled, picked up the kettle on the table, made the young man a cup of tea, and asked him to taste it.

The young man took a sip and said, "Master, this tea has no fragrance."

Master said, "This is the best Tie Guanyin. How can there be no fragrance?"

The young man picked up the cup and tasted it again. "There's really no tea smell," he affirmed.

Master smiled quietly and told his disciples to "boil a pot of boiling water."

Then I took a cup and put the same tea in it.

Soon the boiling water came. The master filled the cup with boiling water and put it in front of the young man. He saw the tea floating up and down in the cup, and the tea was also filled with a fragrance.

Just as the young man was about to take the cup and taste it, the Master said, "Please wait a moment."

After that, he poured some hot water into the cup, and the tea became worse. A more mellow and intoxicating tea aroma is on the rise. For example, when the cup is filled with water six times, the aroma of tea has permeated the entire room.

It turned out to be the first time to make tea with a pot of warm water. Make tea with warm water. The tea floated gently on the water. If you don't roll up and down, the tea won't come out.

Repeated brewing with boiling water, tea rolling again and again, and finally can emit a fragrance.

Floating life is like tea.

We are like this handful of tea, and destiny is like the water in this warm water or hot pot. If you have good tea, you shouldn't ask for warm water.

Those who have not experienced hardships and setbacks are like tea brewed in warm water. Their life is peaceful, without any ups and downs, it is difficult to give out the fragrance of life.

They may be fine tea, but in the seemingly smooth life, the aroma is missing.

Those who have experienced setbacks and become more and more brave in the face of difficulties are like tea in boiling water. They have withstood the blows and tests of fate again and again. In the stormy years, they continue to rise and fall, and eventually will emit the most mellow fragrance of life.

Life is always waiting.

It is true that the hardest thing in the world is to wait, the best thing is to have.

But if you get it too easily, you'll lose it too quickly.

People spend their whole lives chasing something called freshness, but it's good, but not for long. Once the novelty wears off, it gets dull.

People can cherish love only after waiting for a long time and finally having it like a treasure.

The trees in spring cannot flower in summer, and the wind in autumn cannot blow snow in winter.

At any time, good things always have to wait. When the rain is over, you can see the rainbow. When the dust settles, you can control the wine.

But please believe that all the good things and things that belong to you are coming to you.

The best things come to you at the best time.

Give the soul a day off;

Spend a month waiting for a plate of flowers to sprout leaves;

Spend a night waiting for the stars to come;

...

Life is like a marathon, not speed but endurance. A good life is like a pot of soup. What we need is a slow cooker.

People live to see heaven and earth, to see sentient beings, to see themselves. Let's slow down, slow down a little, live in peace in our own time zone and wait for all the beautiful flowers and results.
