In the past, every once in a while, my wife would clean up old books, newspapers, boxes and other old things at home and prepare to sell them to junk collectors. But I always leave discarded items such as brand-new paper boxes, bare screwdrivers, rusty pliers and semi-old shoes at home on the grounds that they may be used again. Later, it was rarely used because new things were constantly added. There are more and more such items, and no matter how they are placed, the home is still crowded.
Two days ago, my wife came to clean up the garbage again. I don't keep this and that as before, but I ask her to clean up everything that can or can't be kept, and not to occupy the already spacious space. This time, she packed all the brand-new paper boxes, bare screwdrivers, rusty pliers and semi-old shoes and sold them all. Then tidy it up a little, and the home will be neat and beautiful. The feeling of people entering the house is as refreshing and bright as living in the countryside for a winter without taking a bath, and parents gave us a thorough bath before the Chinese New Year.
Reminiscent of my own life: After graduating from normal school, I am full of ambition and determined to be an educator like Cai Yuanpei and a Balzac writer. I also want to be a great mathematician like Hua, but my colleagues and friends invited me to play cards and drink, and I was reluctant to give up. Although I work hard, I have too many dreams and the direction of my struggle is vacillating. Up to now, more than 20 years have passed, and I have only become a family-a family of three, except for my college diploma.
Living at home, if you keep all the worthless junk, the home will naturally be in a mess, and the space available at home is limited after all. Come to think of it, life is not like this. Although you are very talented and diligent, you can get nothing, mainly because you don't know the right choice, and you pursue too many things to eat. The value of life lies in the right choice.
