An American businessman sat on the dock of a small fishing village on the coast of Mexico and watched a Mexican fisherman paddle his boat ashore. There are several tuna with rhubarb fins on board. The American businessman praised Mexican fishermen for catching such high-class fish and asked how long it would take to catch so many. Mexican fishermen said that it only took a while to catch it. The American asked again, "Why don't you stay a little longer and catch more fish?" Mexican fishermen don't think so: "These fish are enough for my family to eat for a lifetime!" " The American asked again, "What are you doing for the rest of the day?" The Mexican fisherman explained, "Me? I wake up naturally every day, go out to sea to catch some fish, play with my children when I come back, take a nap with my wife, hang out in the village at dusk and drink a little wine, and play the guitar with my buddies. My life can be full and busy! " The American disagreed and gave him advice. He said: "I am an MBA from Harvard University, but I can help you!"! You should spend more time catching fish every day, and then you will have money to buy a bigger boat. Naturally, you can catch more fish and buy more fishing boats. Then you can have a fishing fleet. Then you don't have to sell the fish to the fishmonger, but directly to the processing factory. Then you can open your own cannery. So you can control the whole production, processing and marketing. Then you can leave this small fishing village and move to Mexico City, then to Los Angeles and finally to new york. Run your expanding business there. " The Mexican fisherman asked, "How long will it take?" The American replied, "fifteen to twenty years." "Then what?" The American smiled and said, "Then you should be the emperor at home!"! At that time, you can announce the listing of shares and sell your company's shares to the investing public. Then send it! You can earn hundreds of millions! " "Then what?" The American said, "By that time, you can retire! You can move to a small fishing village by the sea. I wake up naturally every day, catch some fish at sea, play with the children, take a nap with my wife, and at dusk, I wander to the village to drink with my buddies and play the guitar! " The Mexican fisherman said doubtfully, "Isn't that what I am now?" What is the pursuit of human life? Life is a process, not a point. Life lies in the process! Life lies in every day, and every day is unique and unrepeatable, so we should make every day and every minute beautiful and happy. There is a fable that the fox wants to go through the hole in the wall to eat grapes in the yard. The hole is very small, so he has to fast outside the hole for 7 days, so that he can lose weight. After drilling through the hole in the wall, he has eaten enough grapes and gained weight. If he wants to escape from the hole, he has to fast for another 7 days. The difference is that he is still a thin fox, leaving the sweetness of grapes for later memories ... This seems to be enjoying the pleasure of the prophet, but on the contrary, it is giving up a pleasure that should be enjoyed. When I was a primary school student, whenever the school organized a movie, I would feel excited and uneasy for a whole week before the movie. A beautiful expectation is a bright rising sun, which will spread a bright spring all over your heart. This feeling lasted until I walked into the cinema and the bell rang. At the moment when it was dark all around, I felt that the spring that had shone for a whole week had retired. In this bell, spring is no longer coming, and that beauty is far away from me. An indescribable sense of loss. Just like looking at a beautiful place in front of me on a speeding train, I am eager to get close to it; When the beautiful scenery is in front of us, everything passes by us. The moment we met, the rush and suddenness were not as rich and warm as we expected. All the beauty is in the process. Ordinary people always ignore the process and pursue results that are not as good as yours. We stretch out our palms by the stream, eager to catch the gurgling stream, and the end always depresses us. In fact, when running water glides across your palm like satin, it is your richest moment. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a monk asked Master Jueming: What is the essence of Zen? The Zen master replied, "Take care of your feet." At the foot is a step-by-step process of human life. It is in this step-by-step process that we feel the Zen machine and realize the true meaning. In a sense, the process is more profound than the result. Because the process is more attractive and meaningful. The process is real, and the result is sometimes illusory. Camus, a western philosopher, famously said, "Don't want to have everything, exhaust everything." You don't have to make unnecessary efforts for all illusory things, but spare no effort to exhaust and enjoy what you have. There is such a fable that a man was chased by a tiger in the wilderness. He ran to a hanging rock and climbed a wild vine. The tiger growled at him from the top and bottom of the hanging rock, and two black and white mice were nibbling at the dead vines bit by bit. Just then, he suddenly saw a delicious strawberry nearby. Tired and thirsty, he freed one hand to pick strawberries. He tasted it and couldn't help praising it: delicious! Life is alive, birth and death, and death is always behind us. The end result of people will be death. In the process of limited life, don't give up the beauty you can get, and don't ignore the fresh strawberries that belong to you. Dongpo lay man, who is famous for his philosophical attitude, holds the attitude of "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" and "don't take it even though you don't want to". As for "all" rivers and mountains and bright moons, enjoy them and cherish the gifts of nature. Exhausting everything in life is a wise and open-minded choice. Su Dongpo is good at tasting fresh strawberries. Some tourists who come back from traveling to the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan often show disappointment. They came all the way to see so many Taoist temples, and it is said that they will regret if they don't regret it. Didn't they see the beautiful scenery all the way? When I was young, I often used my rest days to read and recite poems with my friends in Lin Mangshan. We always dream about writers who don't know the depth. Once, we occasionally saw tourists in the mountains carrying a bunch of golden wildflowers, and we also got into the mountains. Go through the quiet valley, wade through the shallow stream, climb to the top of the rock, and finally, sit on the hillside and take a nap. There is no cool breeze, no leisurely birdsong, and in the meditation-like silence, only the eyes and soul of the mountain are left. The same silence, the same ethereal. On the way back, although we were empty-handed, emotionally, we felt extremely enriched, because we gained new artistic conception and mood in the process of looking for yellow flowers. More than 20 years have passed, and the scene of looking for yellow flowers is still vivid. Every time I think of it, I am deeply moved. This has solidified into a symbol of the times. We are looking for yellow flowers, beauty and pure yearning. Later, we went to night school, ran to the library, studied hard and scribbled one immature exercise after another. Although the "writer's dream" is not perfect, we have worked hard and have no regrets. It doesn't matter whether the ideal is realized or not. The important thing is that we are not really empty-handed in the process of searching. We have found the happiness of the soul and the sublimation of the realm. The process of pursuing the ideal itself is a perfect artistic conception. In the face of those complaining tourists, I think of Nietzsche's words: people who travel for pleasure-they are stupid and clumsy like animals, sweating and climbing mountains. People forgot to advise them that there are beautiful scenery on the road. He who lives in heaven and earth goes against all things. As a traveler, you must not be the kind of tourist ridiculed by Nietzsche. You just sweat like rain on the road, always thinking that there are some surprises waiting for us in the destination ahead, and you can't wait to skip the journey of life and reach the end of life in advance. In the end, you find that the scenery at the end of life is really poor, and the beautiful scenery along the way has long been lost by yourself. When you wake up from a big dream, it is the end of everything. I look back and look closely, just like the monkey in the hands of the Tathagata, it has long been powerless to return to heaven. People on the road, wonderful places abound. Even if you stop at random on the road, there will be some pleasant scenery, but the world has never been experienced with a clever mind. There is a saying: when the machine is resting, the moon will come to the wind, so you don't have to suffer; There is no trace of car dust in the distance, so Akiyama doesn't have to get sick. Our life is an experience, an experience of the passage of time. In this process, we walk with life and wisdom. Experience life, experience the process of life, or is it the only mission of our travelers on the road? In ancient times, there was a king who asked his minister to sum up his life in one sentence. A priest said: people are born, suffer and die. Yes! People are a process from birth to death, and the best thing in life is to go through the process without caring about the result. In the whole process of life, whether it is smooth or bumpy, whether it is sweet or hard, it is a landscape. You have to go, you have to flow, you have to cross, you have to live more than you, and you have to live if you are sad. The key is to live! As long as you keep trying to create the best things in your life, you will never waste your life, your money, your life, and you will live a very interesting and interesting life. Life is a process, and doing everything is a process. People may not change the environment, but they can improve themselves. They always have good results, regardless of eating a piece of cake or standing still. They will always work hard and have a good experience of life. The final result of life is death, so we can't say that our life is meaningless. Happiness is the desire of life itself. Man is the only animal that can laugh, but he is not the only animal that knows how to be happy. All animals have a happy nature, which can be seen from the happy running and frolicking of many small animals. Human survival often must have a higher goal than maintaining survival, because in addition to material life, human beings must also be satisfied with spiritual life, so human beings must work harder than animals. In terms of materials, I hope that the salary of 2,000 yuan a month this year will become 3,000 yuan a month through my own efforts next year. After all, the quality of life brought by 2000 yuan and 3000 yuan is different. But beyond that, we must make our spiritual life a complete victory. Zeng Guofan once said, "only pay attention to cultivation, regardless of harvest." He didn't mean we didn't want to harvest. Zeng Guofan's meaning is simple. When seeds are sown in the ground, they will grow naturally, and finally, they will be harvested. However, it is very important to water and fertilize crops in the process of maintaining crop growth. Because only in this way will the seeds grow strong and the harvest will be better. In addition, you work at sunrise and rest at sunset every day, which is the best experience of your life. Facing the sun, you go to the beautiful land and watch the sun set. You go home with a hoe. Isn't this a wonderful feeling? Almost reached Tao Yuanming's realm of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" So everyone must seek to enrich every day. There is almost no eternity in the world. College students fall in love and swear every day that I will love you for life. This is actually untrue, just expressing a wish. But we are still talking, because at least at that moment, our expression is true feelings. Pursuing eternal love is a lifelong dream of human beings, because people are always enriched in love. However, this is not the case in real life. Statistics show that 90 of the 65,438+000 college couples who are in love will eventually break up, and half of them will eventually get married. Do you think love can last forever? So the truest statement is: "Today, at this moment, I really love you." Maybe tomorrow you will be lovelorn. After lovelorn, we will experience the pain of lovelorn. Then let's experience it. This experience is also a process of enriching your life. Many people often complain: "I am too busy at work. I must do what I can when I am busy these days." So a precious fragment that belongs to a part of life is defined as a kind of transition and waiting. "Wait! Beside! I have to bite my teeth to survive this transition period! " When such an idea appears, a part of our life is left behind. "There is no transition in life and you can't wait." The teacher's words often reach my ears clearly. On the contrary, I always make myself like every stage of life and every process of life with very low efforts, because those processes are life itself and cannot be repeated. Everything that happens every moment of every day is a part of life; Life is a process, not a result. Cherish every moment, every little thing, everyone who can be ignored. People go through all kinds of tempering processes in their struggle, so that you can be promoted. This process is the real life, the meaningful life, not the result. People don't live in the result, life is the process, and making every process meaningful is something we really don't regret. Life and death are natural, there is no choice, but also inevitable. It is precisely because of this that human beings and nature are endless and passed down from generation to generation. And in this process from birth to death, how much have we experienced and learned? Life lies in the process, so we should pave a beautiful landscape, feelings and dreams for this process and set out in the inner direction. A person will encounter many things in his life, some of which will make you laugh and some will make you suffer. Make you cry, make you laugh, and life will be enriched.
