The preface is worth letting the heart stretch slowly like a cloud The day before the closing of the 2000 Taipei International Book Fair, I was invited to sign for readers.The queue was very long, and the staff came around from behind and said softly to me: The queue is very long, try to sign as quickly as possible!I can understand his kindness, and I am afraid that the readers who are waiting in line will be exhausted, so I try to speed up the speed of signing and inscription. But sometimes, I know I can't.As soon as I had the idea of ​​speeding up, I almost mistyped the reader's name.So, I convinced myself again: Take your time, don't worry!

At this moment, God gave me a great reminder through a girl A handsome young female reader handed the book she had just paid for to the signing table.I asked her: How to write Fang's name? Her friends booed next to her: Little slow, slow slow. I was worried that it was a joke. Looking at her flushed cheeks, I asked myself again: Is the speed slower? She, whose nickname is really slow, nodded, and said in a low voice: Because my movements are very slow! little slow: Enjoy your life with a rhythm that suits you! Ruoquan 2000/02/20 I inscribed this sentence on the inside page of the new book and gave it to her.I hope she can appreciate my envy and my blessing.

The world is already too fast, and I envy people who can slow down their pace.Enjoy the rhythm of life, don't be too fast, on such a day, you can have the opportunity to see the white clouds stretching in the sky, the small flowers just poked by the roadside, and the oncoming fate. I think of the days of traveling in Xinjiang in 1993. On the road passing through Turpan, bamboo baskets full of grapes on both sides exude a green fragrance leisurely against the afternoon sun. In the lazy rhythm, there is actually a strong vitality.In the ancient city of Gaochang, most of the buildings have collapsed into piles of loess, and the signs of temples and halls in the streets seem to be imprinted with Xuanzang's footprints.In front of the Thousand Buddha Caves in Bezeklik, Flame Mountain, an old man and his donkey are busy enjoying the sunshine that seems to be exclusive to them

These images were unconsciously transformed into my inner life energy.When I have to run around for my life, there are always some voices reminding me: being active does not mean being fast; being full does not mean being in a hurry. After practicing for a long time, I finally gradually slowed down the pace of life.Allow yourself to stay in bed for an extra five minutes before getting up; spend a longer time at the dinner table with family or friends; when encountering unexpected traffic jams, calmly call the person you are meeting: I will not be too late Long. ;willing to spend more time listening to others

In the past, I always woke up earlier than the alarm clock, swallowed my meals, and was five minutes late for an appointment, so I felt so guilty that I wanted to run away.At that time, because I was afraid of failure, I kept reminding myself to work harder than others, and I didn't understand the truth that only by relaxing myself can I have more of myself. I used to mistakenly think that in order to achieve myself, it is inevitable to become nervous. In the world, I am afraid that many people are like me! Because of hosting a radio show, I have had the opportunity to meet a serious listener who is working tirelessly to have a good life.While listening to the radio, they did not forget to take notes at the same time.At the party, everyone's eyes reflected my determination and efforts to improve myself.From them, I see myself.

While being moved, I was surprised. Is this really the life I want?What emerged in my mind were the scenes of traveling in Xinjiang many years ago. Those villagers selling grapes, hawkers carrying mutton stalls, and old people snuggling up to their donkeys lived so seriously but at ease.Yes, serious and comfortable.I know where my problem is. I'm serious, but I'm not comfortable. I saw an article reporting: In recent years, the Japanese greetings when meeting each other have changed from Come on!Change it to take your time!It touched my heart, and I also longed for myself to slow down the pace of life.

Looking back on the past two years, one of the greatest blessings I have received while accompanying my parents to age slowly is that I have finally learned to slow down and be kind to myself. Sometimes, I have to commute between my parents and counselor jobs, and I have to park under a highway pier for lunch at lunchtime.Even when I was in such a hurry, I remembered to remind myself: eat slowly and enjoy this lunch!So, I had the opportunity to see the driver friends in the vehicles in front and behind, also eating bento with relish. Under the pier of this expressway, there are often taxis, trucks, large truck operators, and people who look like salesmen driving cars. They park their cars here for meals, or even take a nap or take a nap before leaving. .Once, I saw a family of three in a pickup truck, two adults and one child, eating two bento boxes when my wife suddenly recognized me with a happy smile on her shiny lips.She shouted: Mr. Wu, why are you here?

Yes, I am here too. There are many happy corners in life.Happy you, meet your happiness there. Perhaps, it has no luxury, nor is it a fairyland on earth, nor is it a magnificent paradise, but it is indeed a place of happiness.As long as you are willing to slow down a little, let your mind take a breath: be more considerate, and treat others better, you can find the paradise of your mind. I like a motto very much, which is said by Leo Buscaglia: Life is a gift from God to you; life is a gift from you to God!Cherish the life bestowed by God, treat yourself well, enjoy life, and repay God and all those who love you and your loved ones with super-valued happiness.

If you want to have a beautiful relationship, you must first live a good life; if you want to have a successful life, you must first live a good life.Every life is a gift from God, unique, and absolutely worthy of appreciating, enjoying, and achieving yourself. because!you're worth it!
