We often have such a feeling that the things we can’t get are the best, and the happiness that we can’t reach is what we want the most. Being swayed by such an illusion, we are always looking up and searching.

Look up at things that seem to be close to us, but are not within our reach, and look for things that are out of reaches, such as flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. Looking up at things that are out of reach is a torment. What would you do if the thing you wanted was the fruit hanging high on the treetops, even if you stood on tiptoe, even if you brought a ladder, even if you found a long bamboo pole, and still couldn't reach it? Choose to give up or choose to continue!

In life, each of us will encounter a fruit that hangs high on the top of the tree. It is very tempting. A wise man will circle the tree three times, pick it up when it can reach it, and think of a way if it can't reach it. If you can't reach it, choose to leave. Those greedy and stupid people will walk three times left and right under the tree, unable to reach, and reluctant to walk. Maybe the fruit on the top of the tree is what you want.

Maybe the fruit on the top of the tree is not what you must and most want, but everyone else has it, so you want to have it too, so try your best, even if you are tortured and exhausted, even if you are hit with blood, get is your only purpose.

Many things in life cannot be achieved by your hard work. It depends on the right time and place, as well as your conditions and abilities before you can achieve your wishes. Otherwise, regret is inevitable. Life is like a long journey. During this journey, we will encounter many people and things, beautiful scenery, and many things we want or don't want, such as flowers, wine, and applause, such as Frustrated, depression, and hopelessness. Greedy people always want to take everything for themselves, and never think about whether there are too many things that they can handle. Open-minded people always choose what they need most and know how to give up. Simple happiness is good taste.

If the fruit on the top of the tree is happiness, I want to touch the small fruit within reach, not the largest one hanging high on the top of the tree. Maybe you will say that the fruit within reach has been picked by others long ago, then you are wrong because everyone has the fruit within reach, that is, the happiness within reach. The fruit of others may be a mansion of incense cars, but I would like to have a house of my own. The fruit of others may be hordes of beautiful women, but it would be good for me to have someone who loves me. The fruits of others may be elites in the industry, I just need a job that I agree with. The fruit of others may be roaming the world, and it is also good for me to travel around the door in a small way.

Maybe you will say that I do not seek to make progress and do not want to make progress. It is not. Instead of spending a lifetime touching that happiness that are out of reach, being tortured to death and schizophrenic by things, it is better to keep and cherish the happiness that is in your hand and touch the real happiness that you can see and reach. Looking up, you can see the blue sky, when you look down, you can smell the fragrance of flowers, parents are safe, lovers are in harmony, children are well-behaved, neighbors are not disturbed, good health, friends are with you, don’t worry about chai rice, sleep peacefully every day, this is not all happiness within reach fruit? Walking in the world, don't be swayed by desires, lose your direction, don't be defeated by material things and become slaves of life, make room for your mind, let those within reach of happiness arrive safely, and what you hold in your hands is stability Happiness!
