Interesting Life

Zhang Zhaohan April 23, 2022

Good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls are unique.

Zhu Guangqian said: In my life, I am not afraid of stupid people, nor am I afraid of overly smart people. It’s just that it’s hard to have to talk to people who are not interesting. You don’t have to talk to interesting people, just talking to each other in silence, and understanding each other, you can feel the supreme happiness between friends!

Liang Qichao said in a letter to his son Liang Sicheng: I am a person with a lot of knowledge and interests. The reason why I cannot be successful is here. However, my life is extremely rich in content and I can always maintain a tireless spirit. It’s not even here!

A person’s appearance, ability and wealth belong to him, but his fun can be shared with others! Interesting people are playful and humorous, and can always bring fresh and pleasant feelings to people, and bring them happiness! So people like interesting people, people with a wide range of hobbies and interests.

Mean people ridicules: Some people actually died at the age of 25 and were only buried when they were 75. Although this is mean, it is talking about those people who have no interest. At best, these people can only be regarded as useful. Boring people, the so-called length and breadth of life are all here!

 

Funny is never natural.

First of all, regardless of age, always maintain a curious mind.

 

An interesting person has a strong curiosity about the world, just like a child who is full of desire to explore the world. An interesting person is willing to think more and see more, to explore the reasons and stories behind things! They will be interested in all unknown things and dabble in a large number of so-called useless skills. There is not much utilitarianism in the pursuit of knowledge.

People who lack curiosity are very resistant to all seemingly useless knowledge and regard it as a waste of time. Because they lack curiosity and have no motivation to learn about these things, they lose many beautiful little fun things in life. The old saying “Put what you learn into practice” may have misled many people!

Secondly, extensive knowledge reserves, never too old to learn.

What’s interesting is not telling shallow dirty jokes. Interesting people don’t have to be proficient in history, geography, philosophy, politics, diplomacy, religion, military, music, art, painting, architecture, poetry, etc., but at least they are not exclusive and are willing to understand and learn, even if it is just superficial. The interpretation of things will not be extreme, not shallow, broad and tolerant, and open to all rivers. Being with people of any viewpoint will not be boring, it will make people interesting and have something to talk about!

Third, maintain your individuality and be a person of good temperament.

 

Zhang Dai, a writer in the late Ming Dynasty, said: People without protection cannot be friends with each other, because they have no true energy; people without addiction cannot be friends with them, because they have no deep affection. That is to say, if a person has no small flaws, everything is superior, and everything is perfect, this person is too fake and inhumane, and you cannot associate with such a person. People who are too perfect are very scary. Only when they break away from the godhead and become human are they interesting!

During the Cultural Revolution, Mao was praised as a god, the great savior of the people, and the red sun in the sky. In fact, he is also a human being, eating whole grains, hugging Meng Jin and pampering Sister Feng.

In her later years, Sister Feng followed the Chairman and said: Chairman, how many did you release today? The chairman said: Which living person will not be released ? Put  , the reader is very proud. Smell  ,  the person is dejected.

90-year-old Huang Yongyu painted a parrot with the inscription: Birds are good birds, but they talk a lot! Painting of Adam and Eve, with an inscription asking “Where did the snake go?” Adam: Let the Cantonese people arrest you to make wine! Old Man Huang said: The world laughs at me because I am too crazy. It is not fun for me to laugh at the world!

Faye Wong told reporters: What does it have to do with you if I find a wife? If you don’t like me, what does it have to do with me?

Therefore, what makes a person interesting is not that he is perfect, but that he is sincere and true. Laugh when you are happy, cry when you are sad, express your feelings directly, and act spontaneously, making people feel that they are flesh and blood, talented and interesting. And as time changes, the original intention remains unchanged.

Fourth, you must have a humorous and self-deprecating mentality.

 

Self-deprecation is the highest form of humor.

Humor is the best way to face imperfect life optimistically, it is the short-term joy after full of pain, and it is the knowing smile from a wounded heart.

Love life, always remain curious about the unknown, insist on learning and accumulating knowledge, do not follow the crowd, retain a little bit of personality, and often accept your own imperfections with humor and self-deprecation. The happiest life in the world is to appreciate life. The so-called appreciation is to be able to taste and find fun in ordinary life, no matter how poor or humble. Just like drinking tea, a thirsty man just swallows it whole mouthful, but a person who knows how to drink tea sips it carefully to appreciate the flavor!
