All the useful people in the world are amateurs.
I saw a sentence that is said to come from Zhang Ailing: All the useful people in the world are laymen. (This source has not been verified, please forgive me if there is any mistake. ) So, let's talk about my understanding of this sentence today.

First of all, what is "useful"?

In my shallow understanding, usefulness is probably: first, I can make a modest contribution to society and earn money; Two: communication skills that can turn war into friendship in a few words; Three: Have a sense of family responsibility, and have the ability to make the whole family respect and care. I think people who can do these three things are useful in the eyes of most people.

However, what is a "laity"?

Vulgar, this is just a better definition, right? But why is it "vulgar" This is probably a matter of opinion. In common sense, vulgarity is not elegance and vulgarity. Big gold teeth and a big gold chain, I am afraid that others will not see that I have two stinky money, and I can't wait to stick RMB directly to make myself look different. This is the so-called superficial "vulgarity", which is a mere formality.

But for some people, the definition of "vulgarity" is ordinary citizens, and parents are afraid that the world will not be chaotic every day; It is really "vulgar" to haggle over a few pounds and two dishes and cry over a life-and-death struggle.

So, useful people are laymen, but relatively speaking, useless people are not bad? What are so many useless things in the world? For example, a person who has nothing to do and practice writing is really useless in some people's eyes, because it is only useful if he realizes what he has written. Otherwise, why write about him? Is it enough to waste time and energy and kill countless brain cells? For example, some people who like painting think about picture frames and practice color matching every day. Some people will say that painting is useless. They are not great painters, no one appreciates painting, and they can't sell money. If they have time, they might as well lie down and have a rest. However, for the people in it, isn't this a happy thing to cultivate sentiment?

However, all this can be based on leisure and money. What can we talk about if we don't have enough to eat and clothes to wear? There are many good things. Who doesn't want poetry and distance, Prince Charming? However, poetry cannot be eaten as a meal, and money is needed in the distance. The prince lives in a castle, and a white horse needs 1000 dollars to buy.

Therefore, we are all doing useful things and becoming the most vulgar people in the world. Isn't this a kind of helplessness under the pressure of life?
