At my age, I quite agree with Mr. Wu Jun's point of view: life should be subtracted, and everything should be done differently. But at different stages of life, there are differences between addition and subtraction.
When young people first enter the society, they need to explore the spirit, try infinite possibilities, get in touch with interesting people and things, and expand the boundaries of life. At this time, you can imagine yourself as an empty bottle and put something in it. The more things you put? The bigger the world, the more chances you have to find what you love.
When the empty bottle is full, the next step is to do subtraction, pour out the contents of the bottle bit by bit, and learn to give up.
Subtraction is a process of slowly focusing, which frees us from many things, subtracts the unimportant ones, and leaves our favorite and best ones, just like the little black dress in a woman's closet, which can be worn for a lifetime.
Subtraction is much more difficult than addition, because it means changing your thinking mode and giving up what you already have. This requires not only courage and self-discipline, but also knowing what can and cannot be subtracted.
What needs to be subtracted: 1. Throw away unnecessary entertainment and chores. 2. Lose unnecessary emotional influence. 3. Lose the advantage of wasting time.
No subtraction is needed: 1. Health can't be subtracted. 2. Pay attention, and 3. Self-growth cannot be reduced.
The process from addition to subtraction should be as fast as possible. You should find what you are good at and love as soon as possible, and spend time and patience to study and focus. Spending time on meaningful things will eventually bear fruit and realize self-worth.
