In order to love and respond to the call to "support the frontier", both of them worked as teachers in a small frontier city in Yunnan and later came to Diqing.

My parents got married in 1967, and the family moved quilts at that time. The following summer became a vacation for them to travel and get married. Since then, they have made at least one trip reservation every year, although the births of my sister and I didn't change that reservation.

Thirty years ago, there was no concept of tourism in China. The teacher’s parents earned very little, but they took my sister and me to many places in the South.

There is such an intriguing story.

An American was walking on the dock of a Mexican seaside village and saw a moored boat with several large yellow croakers on it.

The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of the fish and then asked him: "How long does it take to catch these fish?"

The Mexican fisherman replied: "Only a while. "

The Americans then asked: "Why not spend more time at sea and catch more fish?"

The fisherman said: "These fish are enough for the family. " < /p>

The American asked: "Then what do you do the rest of the time?"

The fisherman said: "I sleep late every day, fish in the morning, play with my children, and sleep with my wife. Take a nap, drink some wine in the village every night, play guitar with friends, and live a fulfilling life every day."

The American said mockingly: "I am a Harvard MBA and can help you. . You should spend more time fishing, then buy a bigger boat, then buy a few more boats, and finally have a fishing fleet.

Then you no longer need to sell fish to middlemen. Sell ??the fish directly to the processing plant. Eventually, own your own cannery and have complete control from product processing to marketing. Then you can move out of this small coastal village to Mexico City, to Los Angeles, and finally to New York. Expand your business there."

The fisherman said: "But, sir, how long will it take?"

The American said: "15 to 20 years."

"Then what? Sir."

The American smiled and said: "The next thing is the best. If the time is good, you can announce the listing of the stock and become a rich man yourself!"

“Become a rich man? Then what?”

The American said: “Then you can retire. Move to a small fishing village, where you can sleep late, fish, and spend time with your children. Have some fun, take a nap with your wife, walk to the village every night, drink some wine, and play guitar with your friends."

Hearing this, the Mexican smiled casually: "Sir, if that's the case. , why do you have to go in such a big circle, am I not living the life you envisioned now?"

Mexicans are wise. If we continue to follow the life track laid by Americans, what we can achieve after decades of hard work is not the life we ??already have now?

However, how many people have been running around in the vast world of mortals all their lives, in the world of mortals? Wandering in the quagmire of fame and fortune, I always think that the happiness I pursue lies further away.

By the time you realize what true happiness is, the time left for you to enjoy happiness in life is often extremely small.

Life is for enjoying life. We should learn to enjoy the happiness of the moment. Learn from the wisdom of the Mexicans. Starting today, learn to enjoy the present and taste the taste of happiness in the most ordinary days of every day.

In this way, we will taste more happiness in life.
