Inspirational talk about life sentiment: no one can't live without anyone, only who will cherish it.

1, troubles are like washing machines. Let's stir in it, toss and turn, stumble, but in the end we will all get rid of it, and it will be cleaner and better than before.

Don't cut corners, or you will run in vain. Don't go astray, or you will be imprisoned. Don't go to the underworld, or you will get a knife; Don't just want, give less. Don't worry, be sure to avoid impatience; Don't ask for anything in return, come naturally. Don't ask for it in a hurry, you won't get bored if you are calm.

To live a good life, the first thing to learn is to be alone. Grow flowers, read books, write calligraphy, practice English and do slimming exercises. Every little thing, done with your heart, is very interesting. Every bit of feeling, then I will record it, even if it is so insignificant.

In fact, God is fair. If you give, you will get something. What we may harvest is not what we originally imagined, and the harvest time may not be what we originally hoped, but there will be gains. We pay the sweat and get the reward; Pay time and gain knowledge; Give your heart and get love; Pay the price and gain experience; Work hard and grow. Life is not an equivalent exchange, so don't haggle over everything.

6. When tomorrow becomes today and yesterday, we suddenly find that we have been pushed forward by time unconsciously.

7. Nine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory. Sometimes, I feel very tired because I think too much. People who are overly sensitive have a hard life because they are too easily influenced by other people's emotions.

8, time, all the way forward, how can we tolerate the slightest burnout? Cause and effect, we all forgot each other in such a long river of years. Like the end of spring, flowers fall and cherish each other. Perhaps, time has its own profound Zen meaning, just waiting for us to understand it slowly. Time flies like water, I am in Mae, Yishui, waiting for the next meeting. Purple stranger in the world of mortals, only willing to reincarnation in the afterlife, I will keep quiet and happy.

9. When happiness comes too easily, sadness is not far away. Therefore, there is no need to pray for happiness from the sky, but happiness that comes too easily just stays in life, and it is difficult to stay until the end. People who really and painfully walk through, then you are more capable of controlling happiness.

10, miracles will not bloom on the easy road. Perhaps, behind all the choices that are not optimistic and have not been tried, there will be possibilities that have never been seen and unknowns that have never been designed. The unknown makes people afraid and curious, which proves your courage and makes you confident. At the end of every dead end, there is another sky of hope, which forces you to fly when there is no way out. This is a miracle.

When it comes to the perception of a painless life, people will never know happiness.

First, everyone has advantages and disadvantages. You don't have to be complacent because you are better than anyone else in that matter, and you don't have to be ashamed because you are half a step behind in something. Mind your own business. People's energy is limited and their talents vary greatly. If we can get rid of the details and get to the point, it's already very difficult. If we can get rid of the competitive mentality and calmly deal with it with talent and corresponding diligence, it is valuable.

Second, every predecessor is a school that teaches us to compromise, to tolerate, to recognize impulse and courage, and to learn to linger and persist. I hope that one day, all the tears and resentment will disappear, and we will meet at a casual street corner. We can say calmly: I'm so happy, we are all doing well!

Third, a lot of things are not relaxed until they are put down. Although they are always imperfect in real life, there are always bitter tears and regrets. Life is also perfect, which always makes us laugh in tears and realize in regret. To see if life is perfect, then you should choose to underestimate those imperfections and enlarge those possible perfection.

Fourth, many times, life is not the problem, but the hopelessness of life is the problem. Distance can't stop the dialogue between hearts, and can't stop the attraction of souls. The heart sound that travels through time and space always makes people feel excited; Tears in the corner of my eyes always make people feel distressed. Because some people understand that feelings can be poured out and pain can be alleviated; Because some people understand that some people accompany them when they are lonely, and some people comfort them when they are helpless.

Fifth, wait patiently, and your glory will come. Everyone has their own things to do, whether they are happy or sad. Everyone has someone to meet, whether it's holding hands or passing guests. Therefore, don't envy others' lives, don't judge others' right and wrong, and don't care about your own efforts and gains. Don't lose face, you have no intention of staying or staying. As long as you are happy, you don't lack anything.

Sixth, life is like a road. It is necessary to walk out of the bustling scenery from the desolation. Love needs to pay a price, love needs to bear, love needs to win, love needs you to give up something for each other and change yourself.

Seven, to achieve great things, you need to know three skills: First, look far. We must be far-sighted and strategic. Never lose big because of small things, and never let short-term interests affect the overall situation. The second is forbearance. We should restrain our desires, our hatred and our impetuousness, so that we can go further calmly. Third, hard work. Be hard on yourself, don't covet comfort, don't be afraid of change, don't be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, and do it when you should.

Eight, sometimes I am really afraid of being alone, afraid of being alone. Be brave, it's really no big deal! If you cry, your opponent will laugh. If you laugh, your opponent will cry. Life is like an angry bird. Every time I fail, there are always a few pigs laughing. All you have to do is ignore the sarcastic voice and cheer yourself up. Smile confidently, and then do what you should do confidently.

Nine, in the rainy afternoon, light a sandalwood. Sometimes I just want to sit next to you and stare at your silhouette with a slight smile. There is nothing extra for each other.

Ten, human feelings are showers, and when it rains, it dries up. A friend is a cloud, which comes and goes. Leisure is a pot of wine, and you wake up when you are drunk. Loneliness is a star, which goes out in a flash. Loneliness is a full moon, ups and downs. Death is a dream, tired and sleeping. How far is it from birth to death? Between breaths. How far is it from mystery to enlightenment? For a while. How far is it from love to hate? Between impermanence.

11. Time is a poem. I put pen to paper, embraced the past in a shallow retrospect, and tasted the loneliness and beauty in the depths of my soul with my pen, the breeze between my books and the fireworks between my books, so that the lightness of time and the heaviness of my life can be integrated.

There are too many liars in this world, and I am not the only fool.

Thirteen, no one can change a bad beginning, but anyone can create a successful ending. Real long-term happiness depends on your own management. Where you operate, you reap. Management and financial management are not bad, and management ideas are not bad. Lasting happiness depends on managing a quiet, steady, patient, indifferent and peaceful heart.

14. Life is a landscape that continuously extends to the distance. Pain is necessary for people. Without pain, one can neither know what is harmful to oneself, nor avoid it, nor provide comfort to oneself. Besides, people will never know happiness without pain.

Fifteen, after a long time, I found that many things I should do were not done; After a long time, I found that I didn't say a lot of things I should say; After a long time, I found that many people I should love have no love; After a long time, I found that many feelings I should forget have not been forgotten; After a long time, I found that I had forgotten what I looked like.

Sixteen, in order to cherish each other in the dust, I decorate my lips with a bright smile and stay with you. Miss, like dew in the morning, crystal clear, just like my initial heart for you. Memories grow swaying in the bottom of my heart, deducing a whisper from heart to heart, emitting warmth, passing through my long hair and your eyes with the fragrance of flowers, turning into clear words in your eyes and writing down the most beautiful world of mortals.

Seventeen, everyone has a temper, but learn to converge, the youth of life is always used for disappointment. Some are young and ignorant, and some are young and arrogant. I always feel that I can overdraw indefinitely. We always feel that there are scenery along the way. We can spend freely, but we don't want to. When we suddenly realize what we have missed, we want to go back, but there is nowhere to buy.

To me, he is no longer a real person, but a feeling, a feeling of love. That kind of feeling was suddenly frozen at the peak, so it stayed in my body, intact somewhere, unable to get in or go back, flowering or fruiting, or rotting. Flower of pessimism

We will meet in the next life, and then I will wait for you. I wasn't old at that time until you came. At that time, you must not abandon me. -"Looking at the sky with trees in summer"

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as you are in the right direction, it is not others who bother you, but you who bother yourself with other people's words and deeds. People who often think that others are paying attention to you, or want others to pay attention to you, will have a more troublesome life. In life, the best mentality is calm, the best feeling is freedom, and the best mood is childlike innocence. The light is always there. Don't rush to say that you have no choice. Maybe you will meet hope at the next intersection.

In this way, the feelings after marriage will be much stronger.

37. What matters in life is experience. The wisdom of human beings is not buried in the experience of predecessors, but lurking in their own hearts. Persuading yourself is the victory of reason; I was moved by myself, which is a sublimation of my soul; Conquering oneself is a kind of maturity in life.

Excellence is a habit. If Excellence is a habit, then laziness is also a habit. When a person is born, except for his temper, everything else is basically acquired.

4 1, play the game of red street lamp with yourself. Red light, turn. Green light, go straight. Walk aimlessly and see where the city will eventually push itself. Locking yourself in a small steam room is like testing the limits of soul sadness. I almost suffocated several times, but I forced myself to continue. I have been controlled by myself not to cry. So I told myself with a clear conscience that the liquid in my eyes is not tears, but water vapor condensed in my eyes in the smoke.

People despise and reject God's gift, and they are determined to seek happiness elsewhere. As a result, life has become more and more complicated and unfortunate.

44. We have traveled a long way and experienced many things. Inadvertently found that the most beautiful scenery in life is inner calmness, wisdom and lucidity. The most extravagant possession in life is a childlike innocence, endless faith, a healthy body and a lover who will always hold hands. A free mind, a favorite job, a stable sleep and a good mood to enjoy life.

Your value fully shows that you are such a person and a person who creates value.

50, laity, always watch in waste, watch in waste, the world, always leave blank in helplessness, helpless in blank. Although, if love lasts, I don't care about that. But it's always those years that have passed. They all say: love is in the heart, Mo Yan stays sad. But the scar left by that song is not the loss of the rest of my life. Even on the Sansheng stone, we carved each other, but the relentless wind and rain only left the broken shadow of the past.
