I read a small article in the newspaper about the Japanese Buddhist master Matsubara Taidao. His famous saying is, "My life begins at the age of 50". This sentence means that before the age of 50, people are tired of running around to gain a foothold in society and support their families; After the age of 50, family and social responsibilities are basically completed, and this really begins to realize the ideal stage.
Perhaps for some people, 50 years old is still in the stage of pulling carts, but for most people, 50 years old is in the stage of career persistence, life stability and physical health preservation, so you can have time to review the past 50 years peacefully, seriously think about the next 50 years and practice your ideas calmly.
Songyuan said that life is a hundred-year marathon. When you are 50 years old, you will be halfway there, and the other half will be the real life. Songyuan was born in 1907 and died in 2009. He ran the marathon of his life 102, and he really passed his centenary.
If you want to live a hundred years, Songyuan has three principles: no reluctance, no waste and no laziness. Not reluctantly, it means not to set your goals too high and do something different; Not wasting means cherishing time, cherishing things around you and cherishing the goodwill of others; Being lazy means not letting others do their own thing. No matter how old you are, you should summon up the enthusiasm to continue learning. The day shift starts from 1 65438+1October1. The challenge failed on the 28th, and the challenge was launched again on the 30th. Jiang Lang had been at a loss, but he persisted. It should be said that there is still progress.
If you want to live a hundred years, the most important thing is to rely on yourself, educate yourself and redeem yourself. Recently, in my hometown, I chatted with my relatives' children. The young man broke thousands of books, from Socrates to Plato to Archimedes to Hegel, and his academic performance was good. He built an independent kingdom with the knowledge of books and flew freely in his own world. When he gets along with others, he is obviously short-board, always out of step, and has no perception. I talked with him for a long time, all kinds of analysis, catalysis and encouragement, from finding the core of the problem, the measures to solve the problem to the action plan. When he saw hope, he returned to the original point. The reason is very clear, and the path of action is also there. It's almost a foot away. "What if it misses?" No tossing, no action, no action, the possibility of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine was defeated by one in ten thousand. While feeling deeply powerless, it strengthened the idea that everyone must take the road of self-redemption.
In order to live to be a hundred years old, Mr. Lu has his own ideas. He said: "life must deal with three things: how to get along with yourself, how to get along with others and how to get along with the world." If you can be calm to yourself, always be peaceful to others, and be full of awe to the world, you are a person who can encounter problems and difficulties, and there are always people who can help you. " I agree with this sentence. There is an old saying, listen to people and have a full meal. Good advice to others, constructive suggestions, serious consideration and adoption, and the implementation of feasible parts are themselves rational use of resources.
Whether a centenarian's life is a dream or not, what matters is the process of dreaming, the unity of knowing and doing, and the unity of man and nature.
