[Youth is not years, but the state of mind]
Haruki Murakami said:
"I always thought that people are getting old slowly, but in fact, they are not, people get old in an instant Yes."
agrees.
People grow old not from the first wrinkle or the first white hair, but from the moment they give up on themselves. Only those who do not give up on themselves can live without being old.
The only thing that gets old is age, and what is not old is temperament.
01
has a childlike heart.
People who have a childlike heart will never grow old. You are simple to the world, and the world will be simple to you. Childlike innocence is always accompanied by sunshine, positive and optimistic. For people with childlike innocence, happiness is within reach.
Many celebrities have quirks that we seem to have, but the truth is that they all have a childlike innocence.
In 1949, Qian Zhongshu , who lived in Tsinghua , raised a clever and cute cat. The two couldn't put it down on the cat.
But this cat is very naughty. He always loves to fight with other cats in the middle of the night. In order to protect his cat, Qian Zhongshu specially prepared a long bamboo pole and placed it at the door of his house.
No matter how cold the weather is, as soon as he hears the cat yelling, he will immediately rush out of the bed, carry a long bamboo pole, and then help his cat fight aggressively. A generation of literary master is such a real temperament, it is really cute and interesting.
Caigen Tan Youyun: The less intelligent children are, the less they become more complete; the more intelligent the adults, the more scattered they are. Children don’t have much knowledge, but wisdom is very complete. Adults have a lot of knowledge.But wisdom is scattered and incomplete.
"Tao De Jing" says: "The virtue is thicker than a naked child." People with a childlike heart are more likely to focus on one thing without distracting thoughts, and always keep a pure heart, which will make you who have gone through the world Live free and easy, transparent, true and excellent.
02
Keep exercising.
exercise is an artifact against time
Mentioning an 80-year-old person, what kind of picture will appear in your mind?
is gray-haired, walking alone, or sick and lingering. Academician Zhong Nanshan gave us a different answer.
84-year-old Zhong Nanshan is still the mainstay leading us in the fight against the new crown epidemic. Some people say that Academician Zhong Nanshan is a person who has been forgotten by time. In fact, the secret of Academician Zhong Nanshan is to persist in sports.
He has developed the habit of "training three times a week, striving for four trainings". No matter how busy he is at work, he will spare 40-50 minutes of exercise every week after work. First walk briskly on the treadmill, then run for about 25 minutes, then do 20 bar braces, 10 pull-ups and sit-ups in one breath.
Many older people feel that their legs and feet are inconvenient, so they give up exercise and focus on rest. In fact, regardless of age, exercise can significantly improve physical fitness, and age is not an obstacle to exercise. Even if the physical fitness declines, there are some exercises that are more suitable, such as aerobic exercises, resistance training, and flexibility exercises.
Zhong Nanshan once said, “Many young people nowadays, it is precisely because they have not developed the correct lifestyle that various diseases will appear in the body and their organs will age faster.” Only then will the age of twenty appear, eight Ten year old heart.
It is said that time urges people to grow old, but time will also quietly treat those who insist on exercising. People who insist on sports and live a serious life will never grow old.
03
Lifelong learning.
Some people say:
is only those who burn the flames of thought,Those who are truly energetic.
The development of the world is changing with each passing day, which requires us to develop the habit of continuous learning.
The so-called "live and learn", we can only keep up with the times if we continue to learn new things.
Master of Chinese Studies Ji Xianlin wrote in "Ji Xianlin on Life": If I had to say a secret to make people young, that is, the brain must never stop thinking about problems. Wisdom is a good medicine to keep a person young.
I am proud of poems and books in my abdomen. I read more and my face changes naturally. Zeng Guofan said: "Human temperament is difficult to change by nature, only reading can change its temperament. The ancients are good at physiognomy, and reading can change the bones."
People have their own unique insights into things, can see everything through, naturally free and easy, mood will not be disturbed by circumstances, natural eyes are full of vigor and youth.
Anyone who stops studying is an old man, whether it is twenty or eighty. Because they have stopped growing, they will eventually be eliminated by society. Keep reading and learning is the most correct thing that each of us should do, and time never disappoints lifelong learners.
The human soul should be like a vast ocean. Only by constantly accepting the beauty, hope, joy, courage and strength of the rivers can you stay young and live forever.
The true aging is not the passing away of appearance, but the compromise of the heart. As long as you remain curious about life, keep exercising, and study for life, your life will be full of confidence and joy.
