One day, this country, which doesn't like old people, received a letter from a foreign envoy to the king, which the whole country couldn't understand. The king of his country wrote a letter to the whole people, and whoever can understand this letter will be rewarded greatly. A minister asked the king to allow him to take a letter to visit Gaoming. The next day, he explained the contents of the letter and answered the difficult questions raised in the letter, such as how to weigh an elephant, how to distinguish a female snake from a horse and how to distinguish a male snake from a female snake. The king was very happy and asked him how he did it. The minister said: this is the wisdom of the old man. The king finally admitted that it was a big mistake to disrespect the old man. Therefore, old people are not only lovely, but also very useful.
Nowadays, the old people in society are sometimes rejected by their families, not only because of the generation gap, the nagging, stubbornness and illness of the old people, but also because there is no filial son in front of the old bed, which makes the old people become ostracized by society. However, as an old man, we should know how to enjoy happiness. When we need experience to teach, don't always cling to the past methods, which makes people feel that you are too stubborn and makes young people dislike you.
Old people should not be old-fashioned, old-fashioned, old-fashioned and stubborn. Old people should be childlike, open-minded, affordable and laid down; Old people should be useful, interesting and talented.
Old people can always keep a childlike heart and be rejuvenated. For example, Liu Qibao, known as Picasso in Taiwan Province Province, was called an old urchin. There are always things that make people think he is cute, such as Zhang Dagan's beard, Yu Youren's crutches, Lang Jingshan's camera, Li Tianlu's puppet show, and Chen Da's thoughts, which are all lovely to the old people.
Old people should have the ambition and exuberance to refuse to accept their old age, and be an old man who never stops. For example, some people play with their grandchildren at home, some sweep the floor in the park, and some pick up rubbish in the street. I can arrange my own life, not only live happily, but also will not cause a burden to my family and society.
Old people should also have wisdom, which can give people some enlightening value. Old people should also pay attention to their own specialties, such as learning computer, English, singing opera and drawing. When you are old and can read, study, write and practice, it will be easier to kill time.
Old people are not age, but mood; The old man is not in the body, but in the mind. If you are within your own personality and ability, you can have interest and contact with society. Being old and young at home can make people happy. Not only will you not be annoying, but you will also be respected. Of course, you can also be a happy and lovely old man.

Quotations from Master Xingyun [Discovery]
Some people say that what the world lacks is truth, goodness and beauty, and what it lacks is discovery.
What is the greatest discovery of mankind? Columbus discovered the new continent, Newton discovered gravity, archaeologists discovered national treasures, Beijingers, dinosaurs, Mawangdui and Terracotta Warriors.
Zen master walks among thousands of waters in Qian Shan. When he came back, he occasionally smelled plum blossoms and found that spring was already in the branches. After decades of practice, the Zen master realized one day and shouted: I realized, I realized! What did others make him realize? He replied: I found that the aunt turned out to be a woman.
Physicists have discovered atoms, electrons and molecules, and biologists have discovered the genes of flowers and plants.
There is a joke. The teacher asked the students: What's the difference between discovery and invention? The student said: My father found my mother, and my father and mother invented me!
Discovery is a fact, and inventions need to be processed and manufactured to benefit mankind. Watt discovered power from steam, and then invented the steam engine, which promoted the development of tucao industry and opened the era of human automation. Franklin discovered electricity, and Edison invented the electric light, which not only prolonged the day, but also changed the ancient life law of human beings who work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Necessity is the mother of invention, because of necessity, human beings invented various electrical appliances, medical products and other products according to physics, biochemistry and other technologies. But sometimes a stroke of genius and casual gestures can also inspire creative inspiration. It is said that the paper clip was invented in this way.
Inventions, whether intentional or unintentional, are beneficial to people, but things in the world often backfire. Nobel invented glycerin explosive, originally for the benefit of mankind, but it was used by people with will to make destructive weapons. So he made a decisive decision, made a will, founded the Nobel Prize, and rewarded those who made contributions to the cause of world peace and progress as compensation.
The Buddha discovered the truth that all dharmas are born of reason, but all beings refused to believe it; Galileo discovered that the earth was moving and was sentenced to death by the Vatican.
