With the launch of the second season of "Longing for Life", the ratings are also booming every period. When the glamorous shell is peeled off, stars seem to have a life they long for deep in their hearts.

Just as teacher Huang Lei said: He feels satisfied that he is stable and stable now and can do what he likes well. He said that he would like to stay fat forever and just stay in the kitchen and cook for everyone.

As I watched him, I sometimes forgot that he was an actor. Instead, I felt that he was born to be a cook. Especially the look of concentration on his face when cooking, his skillful knife skills, and his inadvertent expression of satisfaction.

We used to not eat fireworks, but now we only surround ourselves with smoke.

But in this world, how many people are willing to put down fame and fortune, fade away their aura, and put away their vanity. Do what Steve Jobs said: Don’t live for other people. Don't be limited by dogma and don't live in other people's ideas. Don't let other people's opinions influence your inner voice.

As Li Ka-shing said: Many people have decent jobs but do not live a decent life.

I remember on my first day at work, I put on a beautiful uniform and an exquisite tie. Standing at the boarding gate, the boarding information was announced in Chinese and English.

From time to time, passengers will approach me, ask for their contact information, and express their envy at being able to work at the airport. Most people only care about where you work, not what you do.

But behind a decent job is a life of confusion and endocrine disorders.

One of my colleagues has been doing this for five years. Due to the shift system, it is often necessary to work overtime or even stay up late. In just one year since I dated her, she had already had two miscarriages due to long-term lack of sleep, irregular diet, high work pressure, etc. I heard that she had had several miscarriages before.

I asked her why she didn’t change jobs. She said how many people wanted to come to the airport but couldn't. Everyone envied me because I was stable and decent. She drank Chinese medicine as she spoke, with a painful expression on her face.

The reason she stayed was not love, but the vanity in her heart. For the sake of dignity, you can even sacrifice your own body.

In her opinion, being able to live a life that everyone envies is a kind of success. People live a lifetime, some live to achieve face, and some live to achieve lizi.

Sanmao is the one who lives like a lizi.

Her success lies not in how many works she has written, nor in how high-profile she is, but in her courage to pursue what she loves. And passed this positive energy to more people through words.

Born into an upper-class intellectual family, she has a lawyer father who also loves life, and a stay-at-home mother who is knowledgeable and reasonable.

With her superior family conditions, she can live a stable life without worrying about a good job. But she didn't want to. To her, those honeys that others coveted were just arsenic that went against her wishes.

She doesn’t want a bright future that everyone else says, nor does she want a stable and practical world. She wants her Sahara Desert. What she wants is respect and honesty for life.

There is also the writer Bai Luomei, a low-key woman whose works have been featured on CCTV. She chose to live in seclusion and live a life of peace and harmony in her Luomei Villa. , the indifferent days of making wine and tea.

She said that everyone longs to find a place in this life for the soul to live, where they can cultivate their emotions and settle down.

Maybe this is not my hometown, and I can’t see the simple and natural scenery of my childhood, but it is better than my hometown. Being able to accommodate a traveler from the end of the world is enough to show that it has a broad and generous mind.

Yes, I believe everyone has such a place in their heart, but many people lose their way while walking.

I want to look back, but I can’t let go. As the days go by, I forget my original intention. I am obviously unhappy but at a loss.

04

Too many people regard "fame and fortune" as the standard for measuring success.

Some people do nothing and live a simple and simple life, but they live a comfortable life.

Some people have many things to do every day, and their wealth is unattainable, but they seem to have a sad face.

Life is like drinking water, and only you know the warmth and coldness of it. The decision-making power of your day is ultimately in your hands.

I hope that in this dazzling world full of temptations, you and I can be true to our hearts and live the life we ??want.
