The protagonist of "The World Worth" is Nakamura Hiroko. Before she was 88 years old, she insisted on working 6 days a week, working from nine to five every day. She has been engaged in psychological work for nearly 70 years and has a lot of work every day. She is deeply trusted by patients and loved by people around her.
Her optimistic attitude towards life and her calm mindset in viewing life were deeply moved by her student Hiromi Okuda.
In the lifetime of a person, there are always endless problems, endless worries, panic, exhausted; in the end, they cannot feel the joy of life.
As one sentence says: "The most beautiful scenery in life is the calmness and calmness in the heart."
If you feel that life is tired and life is boring, you might as well read "The World Worth".
Learn how Nakamura Hiroko faces the hardships of life with a calm and easy-going attitude and spends his life leisurely.
- Working for money is not a shameful thing.
When he was a teenager, Heiko Nakamura lived in a poor family with five children.
The only way out after growing up is to become a teacher or get married as soon as possible after graduating from girls' school. Her parents also warned her to support herself as soon as possible.
The oppressive feeling of survival made Hiroko Nakamura, who was only 16 years old, had to choose to leave home and go out to make a living.
Regarding work, Hiroko Nakamura marked it very clearly: work for money.
She said: "In essence, people work for life, and this principle remains unchanged."
Some people are always confused about the true meaning of work. It's very simple, it's just to make money, to survive, and to enjoy a better material life.
Don’t question your purpose of working hard and making a lot of money.
Make money from work is the first way for humans to make a living. Don’t turn it into heavy pressure in your heart.
This way, you can easily face the work and handle it more easily.
Just like the saying goes:
"The best life means being optimistic about life, happy about work, and excited about career."
Work hard to make money is the source of happiness for a person.
It is glorious and happy to get rich by working with your own hands.
- Eliminate your efforts to change others, which will only make yourself in trouble.
Nakamura Hiroko quickly became a mother after getting married. Because she needs to take care of her children, she can only be a full-time housewife for the time being.
Because her husband is addicted to alcohol, she also wanted to divorce.
But she believes that for single parents, it is not easy for a person to face various social problems, and children will also be discriminated against.
So she decided not to force her husband to change. Only when the family is harmonious can it be beneficial to the healthy growth of children.
She said that you can set boundaries to try to solve problems. There is no need to try your best to change others, as that will only lead to endless troubles.
Nakamura Hiroko sets the boundary like this: facing her drunken husband, she only hopes that the two of them can speak side by side until the child’s wedding ceremony.
Since you can't change it, just put your energy into what is worth it and continue to work hard to live.
Lu Yao once said: People live in a lifetime and there are many things worth loving, don’t be discouraged because of dissatisfaction.
For temporary satisfaction, forcing others will only exhaust yourself.
Let the other person go, let yourself go, face life actively, and live a relaxed and happy life.
- When something goes wrong, don't stop, you can't move forward if you stop.
There is a passage in the book:
"When people are in a whirlpool, of course they won't feel good, but don't worry. Therefore, no matter what, nothing can last for a lifetime;
Life is like climbing a mountain, with flat ground and peaks, flat avenues, and steep slopes and obstacles."
People always have to go through some ups and downs to grow better. After all, not everyone can live a stable and smooth life.
What is important is that on this road of overcoming obstacles, you will never stop moving forward with valuable persistence.
Nakamura Hiroko suggested: No matter what kind of adversity is, don’t stop now. In adversity, it is more realistic to adjust yourself slowly than to work hard.
When you are in adversity, adjust your mentality in time and face the ups and downs of life calmly, so that you can continue to move forward and gain a different life.
As said in " Caigen Tan ":
"In adversity, the whole body is full of criticism of medicine and stones, and the body is sharpened and the movement is not realized;
is in a good situation, with all weapons and spears in front of it, and the ointment is broken but the bones are gone without knowing it."
Hard in adversity, and the will is exhausted in good times.
No matter what environment it is in, the important thing is the mentality of not being easily defeated.
In this way, you can cross the mountains and rivers, step through the thorny slopes, and move towards a happy life.
- We don’t need to follow others’ footsteps.
When he was young, Hiroko Nakamura suffered a lot in order to maintain his survival and manage his family well.
"It doesn't matter, there will be a way,... You can eat enough, sleep well, and have a job that can maintain a minimum living life. Even if there is something wrong, don't care too much."
This is Hengzi's optimistic attitude when facing the hardships of life.
student Hiromi Okuda also commented that Teacher Hengzi is a person with very low desires.
does not pursue food, nor does it have the desire to shop; live happily every day and work hard to do what is in front of you.
When a doctor younger than Teacher Hengzi entered a higher position, she didn't care at all.
She said that others have their own lives and their own trajectory.
Everyone has different reasons for their efforts, either dreaming or survival or for richer fame and fortune.
Only those who are indifferent to fame and fortune live a more relaxed and comfortable life.
Just like the sentence Aesop said:
"Some people want to get more things because of greed, but they lose everything now."
Too much greed will imprison themselves in the shackles of desire and lose the freedom of happiness.
Live the present well without following in other people's footsteps in everything.
Step by step, don’t panic, and gain a different wonderful life.
- Loneliness does not mean loneliness, accept the beauty of loneliness, and have fun everywhere in life.
Each relationship has its beginning and end, and husband and wife are no exception.
Hengzi's husband suffered vision loss due to long-term drinking when he was young and entered retirement early.
In his later years, he suffered from cerebral infarction , causing hemiplegia . Later, he fell during a rehabilitation training, and since then he was separated forever.
The children have started their families and started their own businesses, and Hiroko Nakamura hopes to live his own life.
She will spend dinner with her son's family every Sunday, and she will live at her own pace at other times, living comfortably and freely.
Her life creed is: a person’s life is basically living alone.
So, Nakamura Hiroko never feels fearful when she is alone. She believes that loneliness is a natural state.
Of course, there are also people who like to build rich interpersonal relationships to make themselves look less "lonely".
In fact, the more afraid of loneliness, the more lonely people feel.
When you enjoy peace and ease while you are alone, you will find that loneliness is a good thing.
The most pleasant interpersonal relationship is to be relaxed and relaxed, not frequent interactions.
Maxwell Maltz once said: "People who can talk to themselves will never feel lonely."
Many people have the bustling crowds and the tranquility of being alone.
Learn to cherish a person's time, enjoy loneliness, and have more attractive charm.
- Don’t worry about the future and do what you are doing right now.
There are always many people in life who are worried about unknown things.
When you cannot accurately predict the future, live the present with care.
Once upon a time, in order to study, Teacher Hengzi carried a bag alone and risked the bomber attacking at any time, he went from Onomi to Osaka Women's Medical College.
Because of the chaos after the war, Nakamura Tsuko cherished the wealthy and stable days later and worked hard to live every day happily.
She said that she always cares about future things, but she doesn’t know that the future may not make you get what you want.
Just think clearly about what happened today.
deeply agrees.
Not worrying about the future does not mean that there is no plan for the future, but that there is no need to waste time worrying about unknown things.
For example, will this matter succeed? What should I do if something happens? What if he doesn't like me? ....
Instead of worrying and anxiety there, it is better to do what you see happily.
Lin Qingxuan once said: "Let happiness become a habit."
Excessive worry and worry will make people become more and more negative.
Better to be happy and less worrying, so that you can live a more pleasant and comfortable life.
Hoshiko Nakamura uses her life experience to tell people:
No matter what stage of life, she should maintain a state of mind that is neither humble nor arrogant and calm.
Whether it is dealing with hard work or treating anxious marriages or complex interpersonal relationships;
Do your best, don't force yourself or leave no regrets, just do it.
As Hemingway said:
"As long as you don't care about gains and losses, what else can't be overcome in life?"
Don't compete with yourself, have a peaceful mind; face it calmly and cherish the current life.
If you are troubled by something, or are unable to get up due to a setback and feel tired on the road of life, you might as well read "The World Worth" as it may bring some brightness and warmth to your dark life.
