It hasn’t been updated in a while, so a brief note.
After a nine-day May Day holiday, there was no labor on Labor Day, so I went back to my hometown to celebrate my old father’s birthday. I called my close relatives and friends to celebrate him in a small group, and he seemed very happy. In any case, it’s a very important thing to me—after all, there aren’t many things that matter to me right now.
On the way back to work after the holiday, I took my niece along the way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of my hometown. One is Gaoyi Ridge. The weather is very hot, there are few people, and the scenery is also spectacular. Unfortunately, the young man is too weak. After walking less than one-third of the distance, he is close to heat stroke and returns to the origin along the way.
Reluctantly, I had no choice but to go alone. On the way, I ran into the middle-aged elder brother I saw before the entrance of the scenic spot. He used to be a newspaper reporter. Later, he invested in hydropower and energy. Now he is in his early fifties and seems to be traveling full-time to enjoy the scenery. I was fortunate to have a good conversation with him all the way, as the saying goes, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and know thousands of people.
The second one is Dongjiang Lake. The local people said that during the May Day holiday, there was no such thing as a foggy Dongjiang River, but this fairyland appeared when we went there. It can only be said that it is better to come early than coincidentally. Maybe this is fate and luck. I have always heard about the beautiful scenery of Dongjiang Lake since I was a child, and I can truly feel its beauty until I personally experience it. This is an experience that cannot be felt in the digital world of cameras and videos.
Accidentally, I saw a huge karst cave on Dousita Island on Dongjiang Lake, with all kinds of grotesque stalactites in it, which are really uncanny. How big is this cave? It took more than 40 minutes to take a quick tour inside!
What also impressed me was that there was a God of Wealth at the entrance of the cave, and there were a lot of tributes for bribing the God of Wealth, which really reminded me of a couplet:
There are quite a few pennies, you ask for it, and he asks for it, who is better to give it to;
Don’t do anything at all, worshiping in the morning and in the evening, it’s difficult for me.
Most people in the world spend their whole lives busy with money, but in the end, life does not bring death with it, and they do not have a moment of peace that belongs to them. In this regard, Buffett’s master Benjamin Graham is much wiser:
Benjamin Graham is one of the most successful investors and is considered Buffett’s mentor. He is different from Buffett who has been working all the time. He retired at the age of 62. He flatly explained that more money meant nothing to him. And time, love and experience are far more important than money. Graham devoted his later years to academic research and spent the rest of his life with his family.
We should adjust our goals in time. There are too many pleasures in life that are worth pursuing, besides money. Is not it?
Guided students to participate in a competition with good ideas, but due to insufficient preparation and various reasons, they failed to enter the preliminary competition. I had no choice but to comfort them with a blog post by Dr. Ruan Yifeng:
Life is a “long board problem”. In life, failures and setbacks are not important, and it doesn’t matter how many times, as long as there is one big success, life will be successful.
The biggest success determines the achievement and height of your life. Many Nobel Prize winners have made an important scientific discovery in their lifetime, which is enough to become a great scientist.
It doesn’t matter how much code a programmer has written, as long as he has created a major influential software, his career will be successful.
We must learn to distinguish between “short board problems” and “long board problems”, and their solutions are completely different. To solve the short board problem, we need to focus on the weak link and make up the shortest board; to solve the long board problem, we only need to promote the strongest link, and don’t care about other things.
There is no need to care about those unimportant things in life, and there is no need to be frustrated by setbacks and rejections, it will pass. What you have to do is to look forward, to strive for a big success, make it big enough and bigger, just once is enough.
There is no need to do many things in life, but a few important things, or even one, is actually enough if you do it right. On the contrary, if one thing is done inappropriately, the cost is equally great. Recently, a comedian from Xiaoguo Company told a story, and it is said that he was fined more than 13 million, and the star was investigated.
Such an event, no comment. I thought of the subtitle of my website: “Together with light, to relax with time”. I think this is probably the best.
