Chekhov.

1. The Russian writer Chekhov once said: "If you have a thorn in your hand, you should be happy. Fortunately, it is not in your eye." I thought this was just a kind of humor. It was a joke, but later I discovered that it was actually a kind of optimistic attitude towards life and wisdom in life, and was admired by many sages.

2. "Writer Shi Tiesheng once wrote: "The experience of illness is to learn to be satisfied step by step. Only when you have a fever do you realize how refreshing the days without fever are. Only after you cough can you realize how peaceful your throat is without coughing. When I first got into the wheelchair, I always thought, wouldn’t it be that if I couldn’t walk upright, I would lose the characteristics of a human being? Then I felt the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and when bedsores appeared again, I could only lie in an awkward position for several days, only then did I see how sunny the day was when I was sitting upright. Later, I suffered from uremia again. I was often in a daze and couldn't think, and I missed the past even more. I finally realized: In fact, we are lucky every moment, and any disaster may be preceded by the word "more". ”

Happiness is actually a feeling. A person who always feels miserable is often a person who draws the bottom line of happiness too high. His expectations are too high, his desires are too big, and the results are inconsistent with reality. There is a big gap, so pain comes. For example, a writer who draws the bottom line of happiness on winning the Nobel Prize has great and respectable ambitions, but it is difficult for him to feel happy in his life because the chance of this is too slim. But an amateur writer who often publishes small tofu articles is often complacent and feels good, because his bottom line is: he is happy when his articles are published, regardless of length.
