What is the greatest happiness in the world? There are various answers and different standards. In my opinion, it is happiness to accomplish one thing through your own efforts. This matter can be as small as a castle built by a child on the beach, an artist's work, or as big as saving a life. No matter how big or small, as long as we put our hard work, careful thinking and precious energy into the process of completing this matter, we can get happiness with a clear conscience after our efforts are completed.

Only when the grass overcomes the loneliness of darkness and breaks through the obstruction of the soil will it have the happiness of embracing the sun; Only when plum blossoms overcome the biting cold and strive to break through the obstruction of ice and snow will they have bitter, cold and fragrant happiness; Only by accepting the challenge of wind and rain and trying to break through the obstruction of the storm can the eagle soar in the blue sky ... What creatures in nature do through their own efforts can still be happy, so can people? The publication of Lust, Caution paved the way for Zhang Ailing's ten years of constant revision and polishing. Although the world has different opinions on Lust, Caution, Zhang Ailing is happy. After ten years of grinding a sword, Zhang Ailing resisted the temptation of publishers to submit articles three times and five times, suppressed her sloppy impatience, and resisted the cynicism that everyone did not understand. After all, she presented an unforgettable classic, and she also got a spiritual sublimation and inner self. From Zhang Ailing's own point of view, she really deserves happiness. It took her ten years to get peace of mind and enjoy the thrill of words.

As long as you work hard, whether you succeed or not; As long as the journey is completed, whether the ending is happy or not, it is worth being happy. Just as Li Bai tried to change the fatuity and darkness of the imperial court through his own talent and efforts, even if he didn't succeed, he could indulge in the landscape and sing "An Neng urges the eyebrows to bend, and no one will suffer a loss and be exposed to an honest face"; Edison failed in thousands of experiments, but in the face of the failure after this effort, he can still happily say, "Although it failed, I know that thousands of materials are not suitable." A woman who broke through various backward concepts such as discrimination against women and obstruction by activists finally came to Beijing and stood at the starting point of the 100-meter race. Even if she didn't get a good ranking, she kissed the runway of the Bird's Nest affectionately, hugged her relatives and coaches who supported her, and shouted happily, "I love Beijing." They paid their own efforts and sweat. Although the ending is not perfect, they really deserve happiness.

No matter the size of the matter, whether the outcome is successful or not, as long as you make your own efforts in the process, decorate the road with your own struggle, and moisten the scenery along the way with your own sweat, you can be happy with a clear conscience.
