Love a flower, don't guess how long it will last
, which my friend has raised for three years, has bloomed, and asked me to go and watch. The Epiphyllum blooms, and there are not many opportunities to see in life, so I happily went there, and there were several friends from the photography and calligraphy and painting circles.
The evening breeze was blowing, and at about 9:30 pm, six flower crowns as big as bowls bloomed one after another. The flowers were pure white and the fragrance was rich, like a group of girls in white dancing, looking particularly elegant and charming under the cover of the night.
Everyone immediately became interested when they saw this and stood up and carefully savored the pot of Epiphyllum:
Some took photos, some painted, and some recited poems, hoping to use all the beautiful art forms.
says "a flash in the pan", but "a flash in the pan" is not a "moment". How long does it take for a flash in the pan from blooming to falling? What would the withered ephemeral look like? I couldn't help but flipped my phone curiously.
At this time, an old man smiled and said: "No matter how long it takes, we just need to appreciate it when it blooms."
Yes, how long it is willing to bloom is a matter of the ephemeral matter. Enjoying the beauty of the ephemeral bloom is our business. I guess this way, isn't it delaying the time to see flowers and destroying the mood of enjoying flowers. So I put away my phone and continued to watch and chat with everyone, and had a very pleasant life.
Later, I left without waiting for the ephemeral to end. First, it was late at night, and there was still something to do the next day; second, what I always remember in my mind is the beauty of the ephemeral blooming, wouldn’t it be better?
Recently, I accidentally heard singer Guo Jing sing " Singing on the Tree ", one of which was:
"I don't want to be so strict with everything, making the whole world seem to be only setbacks. I love a flower and don't guess how long it will last. I relax my mood and make everything beautiful."
Yes, love a flower, why guess how long it will last? Relax your mood and enjoy the present, and everything around me will become beautiful. This is true for enjoying flowers, and the same is true for loving friends and doing things.

Love someone, don’t worry about the future
There is a question on Zhihu: What should I do if I like someone very much, but I can’t get there because I am afraid of reality? The friend who asked the question was a freshman and fell in love with the junior high school senior who was very busy with scientific research every day. The senior is very outstanding, mature, careful and considerate, and she is completely the type she likes.
Senior brother also likes her, but he is afraid that due to realistic reasons, he will not be able to reach the end, so he dare not be with her.
In response to this question, a close friend named "Give me a chestnut" answered this way:
It is really rare to meet someone you like. If you like it, you boldly chase it and tell him that at most it is impossible. If you don't like it, you can't be together, and you won't lose a piece of meat!
Although the words are straightforward, they are reasonable.
Life is short, and each of us lives in a hurry. It is no longer easy to meet someone you like. There is not too much time waiting for us to say we dare not, be afraid, and be unable.
If you love someone, you should say it boldly, why bother too much about whether you can reach the end. What's more, if two people really cherish each other, they will definitely overcome all difficulties and come together.
"Life is narrow and cramped, life is short and difficult, so you need to relax your heart and be as wide as the sea."
In this way, even if you can't go to the end, you can still enjoy the happy and wonderful state of mind brought by love, enjoy mutual companionship and growth, and you won't regret it when you think about it in the future.
Life is just like this.
Some things that you don’t do now will never do in your life; some people, if you miss it now, you will miss it for your whole life.

Love one thing, don’t pay too much attention to gains, loses, success or failure
In the latest episode of "Talk Show Conference 5", Peking University Talented Girl Bird Bird uses very clever text design to bring the audience a talk show that exploded the audience. However, looking through her resume, you will find that her success today is inseparable from the two "breaking the cocoon" she had in the past:
The first time she transferred from science major to liberal arts major.
Bird University was studying "Groundwater Science and Engineering". As she was about to graduate, she did something that everyone around her felt impossible - to take the postgraduate entrance examination and go to Peking University.
Because she had to take the Chinese department across majors, it was very risky, and she was also hesitant at the time. But later she thought: "People should live for what they like. Even if they fail the exam, they will at least systematically learn literary knowledge." The final result of
was very surprising. She was admitted to Peking University as she wished.
The second time was to give up stable jobs and switch to a talk show.
Before entering the talk show, Bird Bird was doing a very stable editing job in Inner Mongolia. But she often feels uneasy because she can't feel too much of a sense of accomplishment and it's difficult to find like-minded friends.
It was not until one weekend that she tried to talk about a talk show in a small local venue, and she felt a very strong attraction. After that, she entered the talk show training camp and had the opportunity to be a screenwriter of a talk show.
It should be said that these two breakthroughs are risky and have been questioned by many people around. But she did not retreat. From being timid and introverted to being paid attention to and understood, Birds gradually opened themselves through repeated talk show performances and lived a life that broke through imagination.
People have ideals, so they must have the courage to break through. What if it is realized? Even if it cannot be achieved, the footprints on the long road are a rare scenery.
Just as the bird said in the program "China Up":
"People, don't set limits for yourself. Life is long, you have to experience it more. After all, only by spreading your wings first can you fly on the wind!"
Do what you want to do and don't pay much attention to success or failure, so that you can break through your shell and live the way you like.

written at the end
Cartoonist Zhu Deyong once said:
For life, we can only look at it easily, because there are too many uncontrollable factors in a person's life, and every unpredictable change will profoundly affect us. There is nothing else to do except relax our mindset to meet various challenges. This is true of
.
Love a flower, don’t guess how long it can bloom, so that you can enjoy the beauty of the flower blooms;
Love a person and don’t care much about whether you can go to the end, so that you can gain love and be loved;
Do what you want to do, don’t pay much attention to success or failure, so that you can constantly break through yourself and live the way you like.
It is said that yesterday's sun could not dry today's clothes; similarly, tomorrow's wind and rain would not be able to drip yourself now. Some things, thinking, are all questions, and only by doing, will there be answers.
Only by carefully enjoying every moment and grasping every moment can our lives become more and more beautiful, better and closer to what we really like in our hearts. mutual encouragement.
