This is what Confucius said about himself when he was about 65 years old. As a man, he often forgets to eat when he is angry at reading, and he is happy every day and forgets his sorrow, completely unaware that old age is coming.
People's health and longevity are related to psychological factors. In daily life, people are often influenced by psychological hints. Good hints can give people positive happiness, and vice versa. People's physiological age exists objectively, but different psychological ages reflect their psychological state.
In recent years, there has been an "old demon" with neat and white dentures; In the eyebrows and deep black brush, the cherry mouth is a little red; The camel on her back dances without hindrance, and the old people are praised as angels and lovely-this is a nickname that Song Shuru herself has never avoided. She told the society with actions that "eighty can do eighteen". Enjoying and spreading happiness is the main purpose and state of her daily life now.
Song Shuru, in the words of today's young people, is a "senior beauty", born at 1922. In her dark little old house, a bright sunflower is wearing a pink tulle curtain, and the furniture and floor in the room are a little milky white. The most striking thing is that headdresses and brooches with different patterns on the dressing table are placed on boxes and countertops in an eclectic way. This is not the old man's bedroom in people's concept. It is obviously full of sunshine and vitality, so that everyone who sees it will change the secular view. Walking in makes you feel warm and comfortable.
After retirement, Song Shuru participated in a series of cultural activities organized by the community, and almost every one did not fall behind. Poetry reading, Chinese and English songs, dancing and sketches are all her specialties. Every morning in Yuyuanze Park, it is also Song Shuru's routine homework to teach the elderly to dance fitness dance.
In an activity during Beijing's "Olympic bid", Song Shuru, who was nearly eighty years old, enthusiastically recited Samuel's Youth in English: "Youth refers not to a period of life, but to a state of life; Not rosy cheeks, red lips and flexible legs and feet, but strong will, rich imagination and strong feelings. It refers to the source of life, the freshness of living water ... "
Song Shuru became famous in one fell swoop, becoming the most dynamic health of the elderly in China, a world-famous happy old man, and known as the "beauty without memory" in China. She often shares a sentence with everyone: "When you are in a bad mood, change clothes." Paying attention to self-improvement and beauty is conducive to adjusting her body and mind to the best state, so she spends as much time in front of the mirror as a girl. The beauty and elegance of clothing, jewelry, shoes and backpacks can be included in fashion magazines.
However, some people keep hinting that they are old just after sixty. After a long time, they will feel at a loss and may have all kinds of physical discomfort. This kind of negative psychology is the enemy of health and longevity. Forget your age and stay alive. Maintaining a mental state that is not afraid of old age and happy is conducive to longevity. Confucius once said that reading and studying can make people forget their age and sorrow.
"Knowing is not as good as being good, and being good is not as good as being happy." There is a saying that it is never too old to learn. If you like learning, you should know that you should study. If you like learning, it is better to find pleasure in learning. Many old comrades are busy with their daily work all day and have no time to care about their hobbies. Now that they have retired, they have more free time. They can learn things that they didn't have time to care about in the past and find joy in life in their study. They can keep the brain young, function normally, make all organs and systems work in harmony, and their metabolism and vitality are still vigorous. Learning relevant knowledge, knowing more, will not be easily influenced by others, can avoid the harm of bad emotions such as worry, shock and fear to the human body, will make people full of confidence in health and longevity, and can actively adopt a healthy lifestyle. Learning new knowledge, coupled with old experience, can give children a lot of useful suggestions to help them solve practical problems, and truly answer the old saying that "every old man has a treasure", which will also make the family happy.
Love your life, devote yourself to your goals, and forget your troubles happily. Everyone should contribute to society happily. Many scientists live a long life, one of the important reasons is that they love the scientific cause that benefits mankind and promotes social progress, are diligent in thinking, and have an open and quiet mind. Someone once counted the life span of 3088 famous natural scientists in China from 22 1 year to the founding of New China. Their average life expectancy is 65. 18 years old, far exceeding the average life expectancy at that time. This fact proves that people who love their jobs and make achievements in their careers live longer than the average person.
In Song Shuru's hut, a big desk occupies a lot of space, and a small bookshelf is filled with newspapers, magazines, books and notebooks. "Although I usually love singing and dancing, in fact, my favorite is reading. I don't read literature books now, mainly philosophy books. " The old man casually took out a thin booklet "Words of Life". Through reading and thinking, Mrs. Song also has her own "life motto". There is a paragraph on the front page: "A person's life cannot be separated from the guidance of philosophy. Everyone has factors of truth, goodness and beauty, but sometimes they are suppressed by external influences. Only through philosophy can they be inspired. " It is full of life wisdom.
It is reported that when Holda Crook was 18, he never felt that his life was over. Instead, she thinks she will have a better life in the future. Since the age of 66, she has been engaged in mountaineering and has climbed many peaks in the United States. On the birthday of 9 1, she also climbed Mount Fuji in Japan at an altitude of 3,776 meters. Not afraid of being old will make people feel good. Spinoza, a famous British philosopher, said: "The tide of life rises for happiness and falls for pain." If people have the confidence to live to 100 years old and live an active life, they will undoubtedly delay aging and enjoy a long life. It can be seen that not thinking about old age and not being afraid of old age are the vital psychological barriers that every elderly person must cross.
