Audrey Hepburn lived in seclusion in a small Swiss town in his later years.
When the brilliant film career is gone forever, when the former lover betrayed and left, when the beautiful face of youth was wrinkled, she lived more easily and transparently.
She gets up early every day, eats healthy and light food, reads books and walks during the day, and watches soap operas at home with her elderly partner at night. The days pass by day.
For life, old Hepburn has basically reached the point where he wants nothing. She no longer wants to do anything vigorous, and she doesn't want to be disturbed by the rolling world of mortals. She just wants to live happily and leisurely every day.
Her beauty and kindness in her youth made her brilliant film career; In her later years, her love and justice made her brilliant charity. For all this, she always shows a smiling face that can't be calmer.
Hepburn once said that the more material, the less I want. Many people want to go to the moon, but I want to see more trees.
Think about how many people gradually lose themselves in front of prosperity and become their own annoying appearance day by day. There are also many people who think about unrealistic dreams in the Spring and Autumn Period all day, and are tired of fame and fortune all their lives, but never want to calm down and enjoy the scenery under their feet. Maybe we should learn from Hepburn.

Some time ago, there were many reports about the dancer Yang li Ping.
How about taking part in activities with baskets? What is the secret of keeping your face young? What is the maintenance of flowers and plants in a mansion?
Under the praise of the sky, some people questioned: What's the use of all this? The most important thing a woman should do is to have children.
In the eyes of some people, if a woman has never had a life in her life, then success in her career is meaningless. In a word, not having children is a woman's biggest failure in her life.
It's not that Yang li Ping doesn't want to have children, but that she loves dancing so much that she can't wear peacock dance's clothes even if she is a little fat. The doctor once told her that if you want to have children, you must gain weight, otherwise you can't have children.
After some weighing, Yang li Ping finally chose dance, so she was doomed to have no children in this life, only dance always accompanied her all her life.
For living, Yang li Ping obviously doesn't want to breed. Today, she specially collected some classic sentences about being alive.
Yang li Ping: "Some people live to carry on the family line, some people live to enjoy it, some people live to experience it, and some people live to watch it. I am a bystander of life. I came to this world to see how a tree grows, how rivers flow, how white clouds float, how dew condenses and how flowers bloom. "
Yang li Ping: "You see, I am a peacock dance dancer, and I regard the peacock as the most beautiful research object."
Yang li Ping: "I said how many people can calm down and listen to the sound of the universe, the sound of birds singing and the sound of butterflies flapping their wings. It's been a long time. "
Yang li Ping: "I will always feel that dancing is a kind of person, a necessity of life. She needs to be grateful, to be expressed by dancing, to be conveyed by dancing, and to be grateful by dancing. I can jump in the river or in the Woods. This is a way of dancing, and it is impossible for people to resist a natural law in the end. "
About being alive, Yang li Ping always knows what she wants. She doesn't need to please anyone. She just wants to dance and experience the comfort of flowers, water and white clouds.

People who have faith and pursuit can always maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude under any circumstances.
A thousand years ago, Su Shi, a great poet and poet, was repeatedly demoted and his career was very unsatisfactory. However, I will look at Su Shi's poems after 1000 years, and those classic works were written in the process of being relegated.
His sentence, "If you don't listen to the sound of leaves beating in the Woods, why don't you sing slowly?" It was written in adversity, and it is still heroic to read today.
Su Shi said in the article "Red Cliff Fu", "Between heaven and earth, everything has its own owner. If it wasn't mine, I wouldn't take a dime. However, the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains are the creator's endless treasures. And my son and I have the right place. "
Su Shi leads a very transparent life. He knew long ago that this world is not a world of powerful people, nor a world of rich people, but a world of people with a will.

A person, whether in good times or bad times, should get in touch with nature more.
In good times, going into nature will reduce the temptation of material desires and fame and fortune, so as to live a relaxed and carefree life.
For adversity, we can quote a famous saying of Princess Xixi, "When you feel sad, come to this forest, you will see God everywhere, and you will be comforted in every tree and flower."
When people are alive, they should always be close to nature.
