Do you always live in the expectation of others, or do you break away from the worldly vision and bondage and pursue your dreams by yourself?

Real life often backfires: you can't have your cake and eat it.

As stated in "The Second Bloom":

"If all goes well, it's not life. Life is to lose and have at the same time. "

Mao Mu's classic novel The Moon and Sixpence depicts a stockbroker, strickland.

He lives in London, has a rich life and a happy family, and has raised a son and a daughter with his wife.

How many people envy this life!

One day, however, Strickland left a letter and disappeared.

Without hesitation, he went to Paris alone to study painting and fulfill his childhood dream.

It turns out that he likes painting since he was a child and dreams of becoming a painter. But his father felt that painting had no future and insisted on letting him do business.

He followed his father's wishes, chose a financial industry he didn't like, and then got married and had children, shouldering the burden of supporting his family.

The desire for painting has been deeply buried in his heart.

Until 4 1 year-old, he decided to break free, pick up a brush and go to Paris to dream.

In the words of strickland:

This also means that he should completely resist the established secular concepts.

To pursue your dreams.

When he first arrived in Paris, he was often hungry and poor.

In order to maintain painting, he did various odd jobs and rented it in a small hotel with poor conditions.

He doesn't care. He concentrates on painting in the hotel every day.

Even though none of the paintings were sold, he devoted great enthusiasm every day.

"He looked up and saw the moon in the street where sixpence was everywhere."

The moon symbolizes everyone's dream. How many people are busy picking up sixpence on the ground every day, but they have already forgotten the moon in the sky.

Strickland took off the moon in her heart and did what she really loved until she died.

What is the meaning of living?

The Moon and Sixpence gives the answer:

The reality is:

Even if a person knows what he wants, he will be bound by real life.

The distance between dream and reality makes many people afraid to take that step and be content with the status quo.

A nurse in Japan summarized the last words of 1000 patients. The top five are:

The first one didn't do what he wanted to do, which coincides with a theory in psychology:

Compared with what we did, people often regret what they didn't do.

All along, we regard the life that others want us to live as the life we want.

But some people will bravely choose the kind of life they want.

Gu Shaoqiang, a female teacher who said, "The world is so big, I want to see it", recently went on a hot search.

Six years later, she admitted that she didn't regret the choice at that time:

In six years, she met the lover of her life, got married and had children, and ran a homestay with her husband.

She saw the "world" she wanted to see, which is also a part of life.

Comment on her choice, full screen admire:

Some words may sound Japanese or carefree, but not everyone dares to make this choice. Courage is very important for making choices, but it requires inner construction without regrets. The preparation and determination to pick up all the chicken feathers of life are really admirable.

You can accept it if you like it. If you don't like it, you can choose to change it. Life is your own, and the present is the most important thing.

Everyone's world is unique. See the world you want to see and live the life you want. Life is your own. Just be happy.

Gu Shaoqiang's behavior in a very popular sentence on the Internet is:

Life binds me, and I break free with love.

Everyone has a different definition of their lifestyle. Do you choose to paint firmly or pursue your dreams?

It all depends on personal choice. Isn't the child a fish? How to know the happiness of fish?

In my own life script, I am the real protagonist.
