The night passed like this. But I still don't want to sleep. This is one of those times when you don't want to do anything, including sleep. Below are 81 quotations from Zhou Guoping that I compiled. Welcome to read. I hope you will like them.

1. There is something more important in life than success and happiness, and that is an open-minded mind that is above all success or failure, blessings and misfortunes. In the ultimate sense, success and failure, happiness and disaster in this world are just passing smoke, with no real difference between them. When we think like this, we keep a distance from our external encounters, but get closer to our real life. This real life is a rich life experience that both tolerates and transcends external encounters. .

2. The world is my food. People only spend a small amount of time eating and most of the time digesting. Being alone is when I digest the world.

3. There can be no love, but if there is no longing for love, where can there be youth? There can be no understanding, but if there is no expectation of understanding, where can there be creation? There is nothing to wait for, but if there is no waiting, how can there be life?

4. Before the age of six, the stories you make up are more exciting than your dreams. After the age of six, the dreams you have are more exciting than the stories you make up. Could it be that as we grow older, the artistic abilities given to us by God are squeezed out by utility and knowledge, and are expelled to the unconscious realm?

5. Everyone who comes to this world is first and foremost a life. This is such a simple truth, but it is easily forgotten by us. We live in society and strive to acquire wealth, power, status, fame, etc. Over time, we often regard these things as more important than life, and even regard them as the main or even the only goal in life, and we are exhausted for them. All energy.

6. All obsessions are based on illusions, all understandings include misunderstandings, all loyalties expect repayment, and all sacrifices come with conditions.

7. A person who has glimpsed the truth of the sea will no longer try to talk about the sea, because he understands what Kant said: using words invented by human reason can only talk about phenomena, but not the essence of the world.

8. Laozi advocates "keeping quiet" and letting all things in the world move together. I just watch their reciprocity quietly, so that I can become the master of the movement of all things. This is called "quietness is the king of impatience".

9. In addition to indicating that we should learn from children, this proposition can also be interpreted in another way: for everyone, his childhood condition is also the father of his adult condition. Therefore, Early mental development plays a critical role in life.

10. Human beings are both emotional and rational animals, and one is indispensable.

11. He was excited and kept smoking. Smoking is harmful to health and will lead to early death! die? At this moment, this is such a distant and abstract word. Coming from nothing, why can't we go back to nothing?

12. Life is limited. I am afraid that I will invest my energy in the wrong place and not have time to accomplish what I really want to do. I am not a person who loves lively. In the future, I will stay away from all lively, including the lively media and academia (I regard the latter as a category of the former), and do what I want to do in silence, or At least figure out what you really want to do. In fact, if you really want to understand it, is there any reason why it can't be done?

13. Your body can run around in the world, and your mood can fluctuate in the world. The key is that there must be a peaceful core in your spirit. With this core, you can become the master of your racing body and your ups and downs of mood.

14. There are two selves in me. An active person who wants to try everything and experience everything. The other likes to be still, examining and digesting everything. This other self seems to have sent me to activities in the human world, but at the same time, it always keeps me within its field of vision and is ready to call me back to it at any time. Even if I suffer the most tragic disasters and failures in the world, as long as I know the way back to it, I will not be completely destroyed.

It is my patron saint, guarding an eternal home for me so that I will not be homeless.

15. Any acquaintance with interests in the name of friendship will eventually break up. In the end, each other will accuse the other of not being a friend enough and express indignation at the fragility of the friendship. In fact, what does friendship have to do with it? The so-called friendship is fake from the beginning, it is just a mask and tool for interests. People today give it an appropriate name, called emotional investment, which is more honest. I hope people will be more honest and inform the investee of their profit targets when investing.

16. If someone hits you on the right cheek, do you have to hit him back? You hit him back, and he hits you back again. Hatred and resentment are reciprocated, and resentment is repaid. When will it end? The person who hit you was narrow-minded when he hit you and was dominated by the anger in his chest. If you are angered by him, you will be unable to get out of the narrow-mindedness. Jesus wants you to turn up the other cheek. This may be just a metaphor, meaning that you should not care about anything and stay away from narrow-mindedness. When you do this, you have risen very high and you have truly become the master of your physical body that is being beaten. On the contrary, the person who cares only thinks about the right cheek that he was slapped on, and his heart becomes the slave of his right cheek. I began to believe that the gesture of sending the left cheek up after being hit on the right cheek could also be full of dignity.

17. Love is not a fixed point in life, but a flowing river. The river may have spectacular rapids, but it will also have gentle flows. There may be an obvious main channel, but there may also be tributaries and undercurrents. In addition, the clouds in the sky and the scenery on both sides will reflect on the river, and the late wind and rain will cause ripples and waves on the river. Let us admit that all of this is part of this river, and together they create the beautiful love scenery in our lives.

18. People look for love with conditions, but love does not exist in even the most perfect combination of conditions. Love is not an object, love is a relationship, the time and effort you put into the object. The garden you cultivate is not as beautiful as the royal garden, but it is your garden you love, not the royal garden. The woman you love is not as beautiful as a female star, but what you love is your woman, not the female star. Maybe you are willing to trade your garden for a royal garden and your woman for a female star, but at that time it is not love that dominates you, but desire.

19. Is happiness nothing? Isn't it nothing to jump and run all day? If satisfying the demands of nature is wasted, then let them be wasted.

20. The past era produced great men, and today’s era produces idols. Great men's achievements last forever, but idols are short-lived. This is the tragedy of the media age.

21. Inspiration is the thinker’s guest. When inspiration comes, thinkers must know how to treat it with courtesy. Writing is the ritual of welcoming inspiration. When you are diligent in recording your poorer thoughts, your better thoughts will flock to your notebook. Just like Lord Mengchang took in the roosters and dog robbers, the talents of Qi State gathered under his sect.

22. If sincerity is inherent in a person and comes from his natural behavior, he will never be easily moved by his own sincerity. From this, I gained a reliable criterion for identifying sincerity, which is to see whether a person is moved by his own sincerity. Once moved, it inevitably contains elements of acting and affectation.

23. Creativity is nothing more than sustained efforts driven by strong interest. Among the most important factors, the first is interest, and the second is good working habits. In layman's terms, it means firstly having something you really like to do, and secondly being able to concentrate on it and do it well persistently. In this process, people's various intellectual qualities, including curiosity, thinking ability, imagination, intuition, inspiration, etc., will be mobilized to contribute to creation.

24. The competition in the world often focuses on the pursuit of material wealth. Of material things, more is naturally better, less is fine, as long as it can ensure basic survival. There is no conflict between people in the pursuit of spiritual wealth, and one person's wealth will never lead to another person's poverty.

25. When people are young, they will set many goals and arrange many tasks for themselves. It is the basic tendency to join the world. After middle age, you should have a somewhat worldly mentality. The so-called rebirth is not purely negative, but to distance yourself from worldly affairs and utility and live a more free and easy life.

26. People long for perfection but cannot obtain it. How can this pain be relieved?

27. When I am extremely bored, sometimes I suddenly think of the boredom of the Creator. Yes, he must have created humans when he was most bored and couldn't stand it anymore. People are his pranks, created to relieve his own boredom. He lives endlessly in a world with no beginning and no end. Of course he will be bored and of course he needs to relieve his boredom. If I had the ability of a creator, I might create some little creatures for myself to play with when I'm bored.

28. In a specific life, each person’s true answer to the question of meaning is likely not to come from his theoretical thinking, but from his life practice, with the simplicity of facts.

29. The educational role of big losses in life: making people no longer care about small losses.

32. A soul wanders in the sky, and one day it is cast into a mortal body through the intercourse of a certain pair of men and women. He started from ignorance and seemed to have completely forgotten his true colors. However, as age and experience increased, the nature of his talent gradually emerged, giving him a basic attitude towards life unconsciously. In a certain sense, "knowing yourself" means knowing the soul attached to the mortal body. Once you know it, everything in the past will have an explanation, and everything in the future will have a direction.

33. There are criss-crossing roads in front of you, each leading to a different place. A person who has only one material goal in his heart and no illusions will walk on one path wholeheartedly, and the other paths will not exist for him. People who have fantasies but no goals aimlessly try different routes, only to end up going in circles. The man who has both illusions and spiritual goals in his heart walks in all possible directions while always walking on his own path.

34. I once had an age when I was confused by vanity, because at that time I had not yet seen the essence of things clearly, especially my own essence. I feel that now I am standing in the most suitable position, which belongs entirely to me, and the footsteps of all pursuers will not pass here. I don't know what day I came to this place, but it must have been a long time since I was so familiar with it.

35. Our sympathy for the suffering of others may be quite active at first, but once the suffering continues, the sympathy will fade. We are far less patient in this area than we are with the sins of others. The sins of others that we have to endure seem like fate, and the pain of others that we have to endure are almost sins.

36. The self-esteem of losers lies in not accepting charity, and the self-esteem of winners lies in not treating themselves as donors.

37. Human beings live on the earth. They come from the soil and return to the soil. The earth is the eternal home of human beings. If there is a device that isolates people from the earth and cuts off their origin and destination, no matter how luxurious such a device is, what kind of home is it?

38. To see the sea, you must be alone. When you are with others, you cannot see the true nature of the sea. The people playing in the water on the beach and the close companions around you will become a refuge, where your eyes and your heart hide to escape the threat of the sea. You must have nowhere to escape and let the inexplicable force swallow you up. Time disappears, space disappears, human beings disappear, cities and civilization disappear, and you yourself disappear, or become one with the sea and merge into the eternal desolation.

39. Generations change, life reproduces, and the basic core of human life is originally ordinary.

War, politics, culture, wealth, adventure, romance, everything extraordinary will eventually return to the ordinary, and its value will be determined according to its merits and demerits in ordinary human life. Even in the lives of great men, what impresses us most is not the great achievements, but the moments when true humanity is revealed in ordinary life. Such moments are exactly what everyone has. Unfortunately, in today's world, people are anxious to pursue seemingly extraordinary things, and very few people know how to cherish and savor ordinary life.

40. The more civilized the society and the weaker the ideology, the more prominent the role of life wisdom will be, and the more real and natural the relationships between people will be.

41. The awareness of life comes from wisdom. If one has to wait for great suffering and tribulation before enlightenment, the root of wisdom will be too shallow.

42. Loneliness comes from love, and people without love will not be lonely. Perhaps loneliness is the most meaningful gift of love.

44. Pain and joy are the self-enjoyment of vitality. The saddest thing is the lack of vitality, no joy or pain.

45. After experiencing the vicissitudes of life and reading various theories, I found that in the end I still believe in the paradigm of classical love: true love must be loyal and dedicated. When you care about someone and be cared about by this person, your heart will be settled. How practical it is to live like this. Compared with this kind of mutual companionship, all romantic affairs seem so vain.

46. If you do a job just to make a living but don’t like it, this job is just your career. You do a job just because you like it and don't care whether it brings benefits. This job is your career. The ideal thing is that your career and career are consistent, you do what you like and you can make a living from it. The second best thing is to separate the two and do what you like in your spare time. The worst thing is that there is nothing you really like to do.

48. Lovers do not restrain each other, which is a sign of their confidence in love. No one limits anyone, and in the end no one can live without anyone. This is true love.

49. If I could sum up my outlook on life in one sentence, it would be my true nature. The so-called true temperament means on the one hand the emphasis on personality and inner spiritual value, and on the other hand the underestimation of external utilitarianism. When a person measures anything, he values ????their significance in his own life, rather than the actual benefits they can bring to himself. Such an attitude towards life is true temperament.

50. There are two kinds of people who are least likely to get caught up in trivial worries and are most able to look down on external gains and losses. They seem to be two extremes: the confident and the misanthropic. The former knows his own value, the latter knows the worthlessness of the world.

52. Experience a major setback without being defeated. As long as you are not defeated, you will become many times stronger than before. If you don't experience something like this, you won't know how powerful you actually are.

53. In reality, love often plays the role of a sufferer and is praised for suffering.

54. No matter who he or she is, no matter how infatuated or noble he or she is, if his or her love is not reciprocated for a long time and is never loved, his or her love will not last.

55. Traveling and wandering deepen our understanding of life: we are homeless, but we have an eternal destination.

56. A genius will become a mediocre person if he is unlucky, and a mediocre person will never become a genius no matter how lucky he is.

57. As a person whose soul has awakened, you will no longer laugh at and hurt others, because you know that others are actually just the most sensitive version of you attached to another body.

58. Geniuses and lunatics, weirdos and liars are all in the middle between plausibility and plausibility.

59. Creation depends on wisdom, and dealing with life depends on common sense. Having common sense but no wisdom is called mediocrity. To have wisdom without common sense is called clumsiness. A mediocre person never sets foot in the field of wisdom, so he is unaware of his mediocrity. Genius is inevitably thrown into the realm of common sense, so its clumsiness is always exposed. Since the two can only meet in the territory of the mediocre, it is not surprising that the mediocre is proud and the genius is miserable.

60. The best career is to have a career without a job, that is, to have a career without being bound by positions, positions, titles, and responsibilities. You can freely control your time and do what you like. Such as artists, writers, scholars, of course, provided they truly love art, literature and scholarship. Otherwise, today there are many so-called scholars, writers, and artists who have all the positions, positions, and professional titles but no career.

61. Sitting in front of the noisy TV all night long, they call it the New Year.

62. Everyone is writing their own history, but this history lacks careful readers. We don’t have time to read our own history, and even if we do, we read it very hastily.

63. A reliable criterion for whether people love each other is whether they enjoy and appreciate each other. Two lovers must always play with each other, and they can't help but play with each other. The more they play, the more interesting they become. If one day you feel boring and have no fun, love will be gone.

64. People are originally ecstasy. Those who love love best know how ruthless the years are, and how many sentimental lives have been swept away by the ruthless years.

68. After reading a lot of books, you can still keep them in your life after taking the exam, which can help you develop the joy of intellectual activities. This is real education. Good learning means interest and taking the initiative to arrange learning.

69. Loneliness means wanting to be close to others but having no one to approach. Boredom means wanting to do things but having nothing to do. However, if we are far away from man, we are near to God. Without focusing on the things at hand, you can appreciate the mysteries of heaven and earth.

The reasons for silence are different: if a person refuses to speak because he is not allowed to speak, that is submission or resentment; if he does not speak because he dares not to speak, that is cowardice or resentment; if he does not speak because it is inconvenient to speak, it is cowardice or resentment.

72. If you have not been broken up in love, you will not understand love; if you have not been frustrated, you will not understand life.
