The thing you like
Hot 5 |
Weekend again. After having breakfast, I walked around. It is getting cold. Yes, it is real winter. Just a couple of days ago, it went down to two degrees below zero suddenly in the morning, though the weather forecast had already reported the temperature reduction. It came so fast beyond imagination. People felt uncomfortable because a week ago, we still had few clothes, and now we can see people wearing thick coats, some of them even have put on down coats. All of my summer clothes are stuffed in closet, when I got up, I sorted out winter clothes from the bottom of closet. Temperature difference changed so quickly. Interesting.
Though it is cold, I feel fine. The cold air goes through nose into lungs, it really has my mind refreshed. In the path nearby, I saw a ginkgo tree with its yellow leaves impressed into my vision. Ginkgo leaves are so beautiful, they look like a flame of fire buring there. A ginkgo tree grows very slowly. It usually has its age over one hundred years with its diameter of more than one meter. Luckily, I met the chance to admire the aged tree which has witnessed the climate change over a century. Amazing. When I face it, all of messed things gone away, because it is the teacher of nature with rich experience standing there silently alone. You will discover something great is always doomed to be alone since it has reached a higher level than most of others. So it is with us, human beings. We learn from nature, everything around us.
We feel happy when we do the right thing and have rewarded from it. When we realize it unhappy and find there is nothing else can bring happiness, we feel sorry for the lose of this world. Actually what we need to do is to focus on what the thing we like to do. In the process of realizing a dream is full of unexpected difficulties, while that is the road we have to cover. One step at a time. It needs the very incredible perseverance and endurance to fulfill something. Meanwhile the interest is the best teacher which guides us to explore the path ahead. Yet, how to keep the interest and remain the flame of exciting pursuit lighting on the right direction is more challengeable than we thought. Just like the temperature, though we know it is getting cold, but never feel that untill it really comes. Full round of preparation obviously plays the vital role to support us going forward.
When we are at the cross of life journey and confusing about what should we do, we probably can do something that is more connected to our style and what we are interested in. Trying to do something new is cool, but it is on the base of adequation if you are qualified enough. Each masterpiece is on the accumulation of years and countless efforts paid by sweat from constant hard work. Before stepping out, think about it.
The quality of winter is the time to test if you are ready to get by it. Though you are unwilling to get up from the warm quilt and reluctant to go to work since the coldness outside really forces you back. To be honest, it could be cool when you say to yourself: "Come on, let's go." After jumping out the bed and putting on clothes, it definitely tells you not that cold as you thought. The great thing is that you fall love with it and never feel terrible when you encounter difficulties. Troublesome trifles do not stop you any more.
Once you like something, you can easily go over obstacles. While another point is to make sure doing the right thing at the right time. Since life is brief and time is limited to individual. Do not waste much time on something unmeaningful. Besides, when on the situation of choices, we have make the decision. Though there are many options, we have to choose. We might want to learn drawing, English, computer, etc. While all of those put together oppupy time. Some of them can be part of entertainment, some others can benefit us in work. So many things on the list. What should we do? Yes, that is a problem. Thus, option is very important. Make sure what you can do at present, and what else you can do later. Making a list to sort them well in order.
Wait in patience. In most cases we are eager to check out what we can get from what we have done. So, it is easily for us to lose patience. We even do not finish a task then hurry into the result. Maybe it is done yet not to reach the expectation. This is totally not to advocate. Roma was not built in a day. We know the saying, but do not know how to understand it. When you are free, spare some time going around to sense the peace and tranquility. Because nature always gives us answers.
Have a good weekend.

- You have so thoughtfully used nature to explain the intricacies of life. It does effectively help us understand and appreciate the position we are in.
You have good ability in relating to things happening around you and narrate your feelings accordingly. This does show that you have good writing skills and sensible thoughts. You also reminded us about that things keep changing beyond our control and nature is our best teacher. Writing about these touchy topics requires English skills, organized writing, emotion and sensible thoughts. You have done it so well. I am sure readers are impressed and love to read your writings including me. Reviewing your much older blogs, I found your English standard have improved considerably. That shows that constant reading and writing is really effective and helpful. Keep it up, my friend.
My understanding of the four seasons is nature's way of teaching us how to appreciate different things in life. Without the bitter cold of winter, you won't be able to enjoy the warm clear sunshine of the summer. Without the burning hot summer, you won't be able to taste the cool and refreshing winter. I guess I should follow your advice to go out and appreciate the things nature has given to us. We may not have Ginkgo trees here, but there are plenty of flowers and plants, birds etc which can enlighten us and give us the answers we need to live better.
I myself is sometimes uncertain about myself. To be honest, I am now a happy and contented person. I have happiness in my heart because so far, life has been kind to me and I have achieved most of the things I needed in life. I have tasted the true bitterness of life, tested my ability to endure hardship, struggled tireless up the ladder of success, taken care of my future and finally able to relax and live a carefree life. I would certainly do the same things I did before if I have to live my life all over again. That is why I say, we all should never give up, keep our hopes alive and someday our dreams would come true. It happened well for me and I hope it would come true for all of you too.
On the other hand, at present I feel insecure about things beyond my control. Nobody is invincible and something is bound to happen to me in future. For example, what if something happens to my health or something bad happens to me. People have lost everything overnight and that could happen to me too. I am uncertain about the faithfulness or trustworthiness of people around me. I only trust people who I have truly seen as trustworthy and I have not yet met any trusty or selfless person who I can totally rely on, except my parents who have unconditional love for me. Perhaps, I should not see uncontrollable so negatively and should strengthen my sense of security. Tomorrow is guaranteed to nobody. I guess it is true when people say that life can never be perfect, so live it to the best while you can.
There is nothing much else I need at present. If I am still not satisfied, I would be unrealistic and expect too much. I should learn on how to be truly content with what I have. Being content and self assured are the main energy needed for us to go forward confidently, so I am following these thoughts. Hope all of you can live a contented and peaceful life too. Take care and bless you all.

By writing and reading blogs, I have achieved something now. Since I myself have already seen the growth of my English ability. People always say, how and what to do. Action is really we need. I just do it. And now I know the truth of action. That is why I am here.
Except some defects of my words spelling, actually mostly we all committed tiny mistakes, while I just try to correct them and make sure I can avoid these again. This is also the reason I make progress, when I find something wrong, I will try to make them right in the next time.
Thus, those blogs I wrote here, is pretty much the witness of the growth. I learn a lot from what I wrote before in comparison of what write right now.
I also hope that you keep your current life style. Wish you are good in everything.

- Do things according the nature course, things has its own pace, some things may go very fast, but some may very slow. All we need do is just do it in a right way. How can we get a right way, of course from our practise.
We have our own melody, just like seasons in a year. When we get harmony from outside, then, we can play touching music , while if we don't, then we are not in our places.
Just like you say, be patience, seeing with our heart, instead of our eyes. Most time, our eyes are easily blind by false reflections. We really can get something in our right pace, but we should find it first.
