Happiness is not far away, it is now.

Daily essay: the brilliance of human nature

I get emotional easily. Once, when the swan dance of Kirov Ballet ended, I was in tears.

I saw Ricardo Roberto Barreto da Rocha bannister set an "impossible to break" record in the documentary. When I ran 1 mile in less than 4 minutes, I was too excited to speak. I think, as long as I see people show the glorious side of human nature, I will be deeply moved. They don't have to be great men or do great things.

Take the night when my wife and I went to a friend's house in new york for dinner a few years ago. It was raining and snowing, so we hurried to our friend's yard. I saw a car coming out of the side of the road, and there was another car waiting to fall into its original parking position ahead-it was hard to find in crowded Manhattan. However, before he could reverse the car, another car grabbed it from behind and took the position he wanted. "How wicked!" I thought to myself.

My wife went into a friend's house, and I went back to the street, ready to teach the man who robbed the seat. As it happens, the man hasn't left yet.

"hey!" I said, "This parking space belongs to that man." I pointed to the car in front. The man who robbed the seat was full of anger and looked at me. I felt like I was on the road, drawing my sword to help me, and I didn't think much about the face he lost.

"Mind your own business!" The man said, "No," I said, "You know, that man has been waiting for that parking space for a long time." Love each other, and we quarreled soon. Unexpectedly, the man who grabbed the parking space suddenly punched me with his huge physique, knocked me down on the front of his car and slapped me twice. I knew I was no match for him, and I thought the driver in front would definitely help me. What breaks my heart is that after seeing this scene, he drove away in his own car.

The man who robbed the seat gave me a lesson and left. I wiped the blood from my face and angrily walked back to my friend's house. I used to be a marine, and as a man, I felt ashamed. When my wife and friends saw my gloomy face, they asked me what had happened. I can only make it up. I had a fight with someone about the parking space. Naturally, they knew there was something fishy going on, so they stopped asking questions.

Before long, the doorbell rang again, and I thought that guy had come to see me again. He knew I was coming here and threatened to "clean up" me. I was afraid that he would make a scene at a friend's house, so I opened the door before anyone else did. Sure enough, he stood outside the door, and my heart was shaking.

"I came to apologize," he whispered. "When I got home, I said to myself, What right do I have to do such a thing? I'm ashamed. All I can tell you is that the Brooklyn Navy Pier will be closed. I worked there for many years, and today I was fired. I'm completely confused and irrational. I hope you can accept my apology. "

After many years, I still remember the man who robbed the seat. I believe it takes a lot of strength and courage for him to apologize to me. In him, I once again saw the brilliance of human nature.

I still remember clearly that when he said goodbye to me that day, I couldn't help crying all over my face.

Summary of the Daily Book: Don't give up even if there is only hope as big as the tip of a needle.

Troy is walking on the beach. Suddenly, I found a pair of feet in wrinkled brown trousers sticking out of a tent made of dew-soaked newspapers. At first, she thought it was a corpse. She stood in horror, clutching a loaf of bread bought at her mother's command.

She froze. ...

One leg moved, and then one arm was exposed, and the sleeves were drooping. Then, the hand tore open the newspaper and people came out.

Young? Old? Troy is too scared to see anything clearly.

"Good morning!" He greeted her.

Troy took two steps back. The voice doesn't sound fierce, but his sandy head and unshaven appearance are really scary.

"Go," he agreed, "run away. I won't chase you ... I told you to come out and buy bread, right? "

Troy was silent.

He untied his shoelaces and poured out a stream of fine sand from his shoes. "I am very grateful," he said politely, "because you woke me up. Of course, at this moment, I seem to be lost. I often don't know who I am-an unemployed journalist or an unlucky poet; Hermit or scapegoat? I think you must think I'm just a tramp. "

Troy shook his head slowly.

He smiled at her and suddenly looked much younger.

"Let me talk about yourself, now let's talk about you. You're gonna be a big shot. I believe, otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here-you would run away. But you didn't run-"

She just stared at him suspiciously. However, a great pity, warmth and understanding-feelings I haven't seen for a long time after my father's death suddenly welled up in my heart.

"Come on," he coaxed her, "tell me, what do you want to do in the future? Actor? Painter? Musician? A writer? -Maybe, I don't know? It is better not to know that everything is ahead, a fresh and brilliant future. But, you listen-"

He leaned down and said, "I want to tell you a secret-a secret that I learned too late." The future depends on the true meaning of beauty-how you find it and how you look at it. People will praise you for your beautiful and valuable diamonds, of course. But, right here, "he grabbed a handful of fine sand," there are also millions of diamonds here. As long as you know more about it, you will find out. Look at this! "He handed her a piece of glass whose edges and corners were polished by sea water and sand." People will say, it's useless. But look in the light! It is green as jade, mysterious as jade, and smooth as black jade! "

A seagull screamed and flew over their heads, casting a floating shadow. The bird with shining eyes flies freely in the morning light.

"Look there," he pointed to the seagulls. "That's what I mean. People can't drink water like seagulls. You can't give up hope as big as a needle tip. Kid! Try to find it, try to catch the wings of the morning light. "

She carefully looked at the broken glass in her hand, which had been polished by the sea. It is green as jade, mysterious as jade, and smooth as black jade.

"Try to find and catch the wings of the morning light." It was with this sentence that Troy began to succeed step by step.

It is inevitable that a person will be down and out, no matter what the situation is. People who don't give up even if they have the hope of a needle tip, but try to find and seize opportunities will not fail.
