[ Idle people write the heart ] Having a childlike heart, eternal youth, immortal spirit, and happiness and longevity should be the wish of all middle-aged and elderly people, especially those over 60 years old. So what is the "mystery of agelessness and the secret of happiness"? Recently, I went back to my hometown to spend more than 20 days with my relatives and friends, drinking and drinking eggs, reminiscing and chatting. They gave me the answer with sincerity, happiness, humor and wit, that is, they should have a childlike heart. So what does a person with childlike innocence look like? How can I truly have a childlike innocence? Friends who are interested can click to read it and listen to my feelings!
This time I returned to my hometown and spent more than 20 consecutive days with relatives and friends, drinking and chatting with eggs. In addition to feeling the passionate love and deep love, I also have a special feeling: this is that I should have a childlike heart in my 60s. To have a childlike heart means to have a innocent and simple heart like a child. Why do middle-aged and elderly people, especially older people, have childlike innocence? I believe everyone understands that childlike innocence is the best way to keep the spirit alive, the greatest source of youth for the elderly, and the best secret to happiness and longevity. Maybe some friends will say that everyone understands this principle, and you don’t know it today. How could you feel so moved after going back to your hometown to reunite with your friends? You are right, I really have the urge to inspire and write this passage after I get together with them.
Most of the people we gather together are young people over 60 years old. Maybe it is because of "the lover's eyes are like Xi Shi", or maybe it is because "the age gap is not big and there are few changes in people". In my eyes, those who are smaller than me are still so small, and those who are bigger than me are still so big, I really don't feel how old they are. In that passionate and joyful atmosphere, everyone unknowingly returned to childhood, youth, and middle-aged age, forgetting that they were over 60 years old. Of course, it is also difficult to see from the aspects of appearance, temperament, speech and behavior, cups, heroism and passion, etc., they are all over 60 years old (just just the visual perception of our peers).
is full of red and full of energy . Maybe it's the weather is too hot, maybe it's drinking to hurt your face. At parties, eating eggs before meals, drinking again and again, whether you meet old classmates who have not seen for four or five years, or old friends who have not seen for two or three years, they are all red and full of energy. Although they are all young old people, none of them are old-fashioned, and they are all full of vitality and energetic.
enthusiastic and open-minded, humorous and funny . Many of the people who come together now have been together from childhood, youth, and youth, with colleagues of thirty or forty years, and classmates and friends of thirty or fifty years. Time is changing, society is changing, work is changing, and life is changing. Sincere emotions, full of enthusiasm, and childlike personality have never changed. Whether it is meeting and greetings, saying goodbye, whether it is reviewing the alma mater and talking about classmates, whether it is reviewing the unit and talking about the past of work, whether it is toasting and giving up on drinking, what is heard is the tone of youth and the expression of the expression of the youth. The tone of childhood, the humor of youth, the wit of adulthood and the strong aroma of wine are dancing and floating in the wind with the melodious music.
is free to talk, and the childish words are sufficient . The old saying goes well with children's words, but in fact, we, the group of 60-year-old naughty children, are also "childish words without restraint". When talking about Lao Mi's rebellion and doing one thing, when talking about the old crazy woman's intentional provocation in visiting Baodao, everyone criticized and criticized her. Talking about the war between Russia and Ukraine and the constant fire on Lao Mi, adding fuel to the fire, he was even more indignant. Speaking of the COVID-19 pandemic that has ravaged the world, harmed mankind for two or three years, and hindered the gathering of old brothers and sisters countless times, I wish I could use a glass of strong wine to eliminate all the virus. When it comes to you, who was a deskmate in your school days, everyone is completely unrestrained. When it comes to the people and affairs of the work unit, everyone knows it well. When it comes to drinking theory, one set after another, and when it comes to how much you drink, sometimes Didi cares about it. In such a gathering place that has been shrouded in enthusiasm and sincerity, everyone has truly forgotten themselves, forgot their "leadership demeanor" and "elegance". All they can remember is deep feelings, happiness, and talk as they like.
The alcohol content is as good as before, and the face is never old. At our age, everyone pays great attention to taking care of their health and health. Many old comrades stay away from the wine jar and don’t drink it at home. If they can, they don’t drink it when they can. However, during the time we were together, several comrades had been off for many years and only returned to the wine jar this time. Some people haven't seen each other for several years, and when they meet, they feel that they have a longer alcohol tolerance, while others have never seen each other for a long time and will never grow old. When we are together, there is no leader, no wealthy people, no distinction between rich and poor, and some are free, happy and happy. Everyone is reborn, and it seems that they are not a group of elderly people with their children and grandchildren around their knees, but a group of happy old children.
has been back in Beijing for several days, and Kexin is still in her hometown. From time to time, she comes to the party scene full of passion and joy in her dreams. Today I opened the photo videos taken at the party again, looked at the scenes of the party, looked at the familiar faces, and played back the videos. I suddenly had a new understanding and a new answer to the mystery of the agelessness and the secret of happiness of relatives and friends: that is, they all have a childlike heart. Like our friends, we are envious of having a childlike heart, keeping our spirits alive, staying young forever, and living a happy and long life. It is also what every middle-aged and elderly friend hopes to have. So how can middle-aged and elderly people, especially young people over 60 years old, have an innocent and simple childlike heart like my friends? I think I can practice myself from the following aspects.
1. The childlike innocence will not fade away from childlike interest and will not diminish . Childish innocence is the source of vitality for each of us and the secret to maintaining our youth. People with childlike innocence will never grow old. The reason why these relatives and friends around me can still run long-distance running at the age of 60 and "Linghu Chong" at the age of 70 is that they all have a childlike heart. People with childlike innocence can see the world simply, and happiness and happiness are easy to obtain. For those who have childlike innocence, the world is colorful, life is beautiful, and happiness is within reach. I think that as long as we always maintain a childlike heart, our sunny mentality and positive and optimistic attitude will depend on each other, and even if our bodies enter the old age, the spiritual world will always be young.
Childhood fun is a lifelong treasure, but many people do not understand or cherish it, and lose their childish fun too early and too much in life. Childhood fun includes curiosity, and is fresh and surprised by the things around you, and you can't help but go and find out. In fact, whether it is adults or the elderly, whether it is for work or career development needs, I am curious about new things. I hope to find out the truth, which is good for work and career. People with childlike interests will never feel lonely, whether they are young, young or old. Especially after retirement, we must learn to use childlike interests, regain interests and cultivate interests. Practicing calligraphy and painting, traveling around, taking photos, dancing and playing ball are all very good interests. Among us sixty-six friends, almost everyone has their own interests. Some were big leaders and now photographers, while others have been happy for decades and are good at protecting animals. After retirement, they will continue to do so. Some people used to be entrepreneurs and now they are writers, etc. They are all very worthy of our learning. I think having an interesting soul and persisting in childlike interest. Being an interesting person is the magic weapon to keep your youth forever.
2. Innocence remains unchanged and childish ambition remains unchanged. . Innocence is something that everyone is born with, and it is the purest, most priceless and most precious virtue in the world. It’s a pity that when people get old, there are very few people who can still have a innocent heart. This is because everyone who comes to this world must go through many changes and play many roles. In the process of changing roles throughout one's life, most people forget their innocence. In fact, maintaining innocence is not contradictory to role transformation. When I was a student, I needed innocence to focus on learning. When entering society, I had to start a family and start a career, and it was a work mentality. If you are a father, mother, wife, or husband at home, you must assume corresponding responsibilities and obligations and have a corresponding mentality. To take up leadership positions, one must have the mind and dedication to benefit the people. Although everyone needs to have different psychological qualities, ways of doing things, and mentality when playing different roles, this is not inconsistent with our innocence.If we can always maintain a simple, happy and innocent heart in our daily life, no matter where we are, what work we do, or what situation we encounter, we can always maintain a simple, happy and innocent heart, which will definitely be more beneficial to our work and life.
When it comes to children's ambitions, everyone has their own ideas and ambitions when they were young, and when they were working and studying. Personal ambitions are often inconsistent with their daily work and career. For the sake of life, work, and career, many people have to put their personal ambitions aside and deal with the daily work they have to do. "Those who have no ambitions always set their goals, and those who have ambitions always set their goals." When a person is able to never give up his ambitions, not change his ambitions, and work tirelessly for them, it is a very meaningful and beneficial to his physical and mental health. In the circle of friends of us elderly people in our sixties, there are many people who remain innocent and unchanged in their ambitions. When they were young, at work, they did not give up their true children's ambitions when doing their jobs well. When they were old, they did not compare or complain, and they valued affection and sincerity, and continued their children's ambitions and returned to their innocence.
3. Children’s affection continues to keep their children’s affectionate and keep their friends forgetting . It is a common feature of my relatives and friends that value love and friendship, and not forgetting old friends when you have new friends. Many people are together in childhood, and of course most of them get to know each other in school, work unit, and after work. Although some have not met or gathered frequently in the past few decades like some friends, especially in the years when everyone is strong and energetic, they can sometimes meet once every few years and get together once every long time. But it did not alienate the relationship or dilute the relationship, and always maintain contact and emotional communication. Some people will never forget to meet again even if they don’t meet for ten or eight years. It can be seen that maintaining constant relationships and making more friends is a good way to maintain a childlike innocence. When people reach old age, old friends should contact, date more, and get together more often. Never be an old otakus and an old otakus. You can also make friends with "year-old friends". Being with young people often will make us younger. There is another better way to make friends, which is to treat children and grandchildren as friends, communicate and discuss work and play games together, which can not only enjoy family happiness, but also reduce loneliness and loneliness, add fun, and make yourself young forever.
Life is limited, childlike innocence is priceless, and friends over 60s should have a childlike innocence. May all of us have a childlike heart, smash the shackles of age, regain the innocence of childlikeness, forget our old face, return to the ranks of naughty children, sing, jump, play, and gather, be a funny and humorous old playboy, be healthy and long-lasting, and be happy forever!
