People often ask me, "What can I do at my age? I didn't work hard when I was young. Is it too late to work hard now? "

I want to say that it's never too late for you to start, unless you are wasting your energy and mind and wandering around all the time.

Are you as old as my friend Sister Yan? The elder sister's name is Li, and you can also learn about her works and stories from Baidu.

We have known each other for 10 years. She is a gifted elder sister who can sing and dance well. I really don't understand why God concentrates all his talents on one person.

Yan Jie is very tall. Although she is old, her charm still exists. She looks like a celebrity of the Republic of China, and her gestures exude a touch of elegance. It really looks like the characters in her paintings. As the saying goes, people are picturesque, which is true.

But this girl's fate is very strange.

When we met, she was actually 47 years old and now she is 57 years old. She told me about her husband alone. The husband is a very talented and knowledgeable person. But life is not interesting at all. At the same time, for some reason, they started a single life after divorce. When two adults get married, there are always many reasons that outsiders can't guess and I can't ask.

But by then she had been divorced for many years. Moreover, our understanding also stems from a foreigner's love and pursuit for her. The foreigner is a tall American. They are about the same age. The foreigner's name is David. A big man always laughs, and I look up every time I look at him. I feel that he is standing in front of me, almost like a giant. He has a small white beard and sometimes dyes it light pink. He is also an artist. He is very humorous.

His humor and cuteness also attracted Yan Jie. Two people also have the same hobby, that is, painting and dancing. So we met soon and booked a wedding date six months later. At that time, Yan Jie told me, look, many of her female friends. Everyone can't understand her, and everyone talks about her behind her back, saying that marrying a foreigner with no money is nothing. She said, "At my age, what do I lack and what do I want?" My paintings sell well and my income is good. In Shenzhen, houses are all painters' apartments. The man I'm looking for is not because of money or other additional things. So many people with status and wealth have pursued me. I refused, I just hope I can get that feeling back inside. To put it bluntly, it may be the unsolved mystery of love. "In fact, I just graduated from the society at that time, and I am not very good at chatting, but I can understand the mind of this sister.

Later, they finally got married and started the marriage relationship between China and the United States. Haha, speaking of which, I have to say that this sister's English is not good. Many friends asked me behind my back, how did they communicate? The body language I'm talking about is the feeling that one look and one action can make the other person understand. You got it?

She is almost 50 years old, and she has to learn English, painting and yoga every day. At that time, I was envious of her good figure and her yoga was simply a high-level coach. Later, I learned that she used to dance in a troupe. And life is full and full of interest. Get up in yoga every morning, make breakfast, learn English, and then draw pictures. I admired her at that time. That was my goal at that time, but it really felt out of reach and a long way to go.

Let's talk about Sister Yan's paintings. I think maybe she is a talented person. Teachers know everything. She only paints two series of works. One is a series of people, and the other is a series of scenery.

In 2008, she opened a small gallery, and foreigners and domestic collectors often collect her paintings. She is also very diligent, and arranges her time to the full every day.

Her paintings are full of agility and personal style, elegant and charming. It should even be said that it is free and easy, very chic brushwork and flowing colors.

Later, she became the director and president of Dafen Oil Painting Village, and won honors and various awards in every exhibition. These things don't fly out of thin air, they really come from a heart.

These are some of her works.

Dare we say that I'm starting late now? It's never too late to start anything, as long as you try, you will have no regrets. Many people especially like to weigh the pros and cons. What can this thing bring me, but do you like painting or not? If so, why are there so many entanglements? But maybe we are all mortals, not as brave as those people. They made a quick and quick decision. That's what Sister Yan told me. Painting is fun and happy. Where there are so many ideas, draw if you want. In fact, I didn't draw it at all, I was just pure envy. Because at that time, I always said that I could not draw well, and I might not earn money to support myself. It was many years before I started painting. In fact, in retrospect, I feel a little sorry, but at the same time I am very satisfied. After all, I'm on my way. Will go on forever, and the road to artistic practice will never end!

Therefore, I also understand that such friends are struggling in real life and dare not let go of their existing contradictions and struggles easily. In fact, painting, you can regard it as a hobby, can be an interesting interest. Don't think too complicated, just like it.

In fact, you can set a long-term goal, so that it won't be unrealistic. Consider it a part of our lives.

In fact, no one knows whether the future road will be bumpy or flat, but as long as you hint yourself with a positive attitude and move forward firmly, I believe everyone will have an extraordinary life. At least you should know that there is only one life, and I will try my best for myself. I want to indulge myself once for my hobby.

In fact, it is nothing more than spending more time and paying more. That's all. It's better than holding a mobile phone to brush Tik Tok and brush a circle of friends every day!

Those who have no courage can start now. Please be brave!
