Chapter 157
Being yourself can be divided into two situations.
One is to be yourself without anyone’s influence, and the other is to be yourself without someone’s influence.
Well, the first one is easier.
Without anyone's influence, the body and mind will be in a relatively relaxed and natural state, and generally there will be no pressure to be yourself.
However, the easier it is, the easier it is to get lost.
After being in this state for a long time, you may even not know what you are like in your heart.
Because there is no pressure, and no pressure, you cannot force you to think, and you will easily get lost without thinking.
Therefore, there is a saying that "be careful of one's own self",
In front of others, you can restrain yourself and be the one you recognize. But if there is no one around you, can you continue to restrain yourself and be the one you recognize?
For example, when you are at work, you work hard and as soon as the leader leaves, you will let yourself go;
For example, when you go out, dress yourself up beautifully, keep yourself in a beautiful image, and when you get home, your sloppy habits will be exposed.
Well, which one is the one you yearn for?
The second type is a little more difficult than the first type.
After being influenced by others, your mood will be disturbed and your three views will be impacted. It is more difficult to restrain yourself in this state than to restrain yourself in a state without anyone being influenced by others.
For example, if you are scolded by your leader at work, can you still maintain a full image of blood, full of vitality, and positive efforts?
For example, when you meet an unreasonable person when you go out, you have a fight. Can you still maintain the good mood when you first go out?
Well, it's really hard.
However, although the second type is more difficult, it can make people think about what they want, and what they think about is their own three views.
In short, each has its own advantages, and it is best to alternate between the two from time to time.
And I, alone at home, actually it is difficult for me to be the self I yearn for.
Because, for Sagittarius without restrictions, freedom is indulgence.
Fortunately, my family can influence me, so I often think about what kind of self is the most suitable self for the moment.
When I am tired of studying and my head is swelling and painful, I will play my stand-alone game.
In a stand-alone game, I realized that life cannot be accelerated blindly, we must know how to brake in time to go further.
Because in the game, if the motorcycle keeps the highest speed, it is easy to crash.
So, on sections with many sharp turns, I will slow down in time.
Even if I was overtaken by other motorcycles when I was slowing down, I was not affected by them. I knew that what I wanted was stability and seek victory in stability.
Moreover, even if they surpass me, they will be happy for only ten seconds. Their car will most likely be knocked away.
In the end, I was stable and got the first place.
If you know what you want, you cannot be affected by other factors and keep your mind clear.
The day before yesterday, a female employee from a bank called me and listened to the content, intending to sell insurance to me.
It was noon and I was about to prepare for cooking, so I didn’t have much patience in my heart.
Logically, when I receive such an annoying sales call and I have something to do, I will most likely hang up directly.
But, this time I didn't.
I heard the voice of the female staff member, I was probably younger than me, and my tone was a little quick, so I should be nervous.
Well, my first internship in my life was to do sales. I knew very well that the feeling of being rejected by calling customers.
So, I couldn't bear to hang up the phone directly.
At this time, which one is what I want to be myself?
Should I just hang up the phone and go to cook immediately, or should I be a self who works hard and kind without using indifference and violence?
Well, I chose the latter.
Although I was impatient at the time, I forced myself to continue listening to her and answering her questions one by one. I also told her that I did not consider the reason for buying insurance for the time being - I was conditioning my body, I had not worked for a long time and lacked financial ability. I had to take good care of the current situation and only consider buying insurance after the future situation improved.
Fortunately, she understands it too.
Finally, she wished me a speedy recovery and I replied to my gratitude.
The call time took about ten minutes.
Although she was unable to make me buy insurance, she had no performance. However, if she was in a state of being rejected by customers all the time, at least the phone call I talked to would make her heart less sad or cold.
It is often difficult to be yourself because of restraint.
I went to buy lean meat this morning, but it was still five dollars.
I met my eldest cousin by chance and said hello.
A woman in her thirties selling vegetables next to her eldest cousin suddenly asked me with a smile: "How much lean meat did you buy? Ten dollars?"
I was a little surprised. I didn't know her, so why did she ask me this question for no reason?
But out of politeness, I replied naturally: "No, it's five dollars."
Then, she began to laugh very hard, as if she heard a joke, and turned her head and smiled at another aunt selling vegetables.
The feeling of her smile made me look like I was a clown.
At that time, I began to understand that most of the bosses nearby should know that there would be a young man who only bought lean meat for five yuan every day.
Well, in their opinion, five dollars of lean meat is not enough to hold the gap between the teeth, especially when pork prices are soaring.
Well, at this time, my mood was disturbed and my three views were impacted.
So, should I continue to be myself and still buy five dollars of lean meat every day, or are I influenced by them, and to avoid being laughed at, I can buy a few more lean meat to eat appropriately?
Well, I'm very calm, except for a little discomfort.
I know very well how much meat I eat every day and how to eat it. If they eat it according to their way, it is indeed not enough to get between the teeth, but I am not them. I have my life, so naturally I have my own way of eating it.
I think it's enough, it's enough, what's up to them?
When influenced by others, you will either doubt your own views or consolidate your views more.
Well, I choose the latter.
The food this week is quite different, and I finally no longer eat those two or three kinds of vegetables back and forth.
There are cucumbers, loofahs, carrots, and tomatoes. Well, after eating these foods in a low-salt state, I once again had hope for my future low-salt diet.
Why did I never eat the delicious foods under low salt when I was healthy?
Not to mention low salt, even if you add normal salt, you may not necessarily feel delicious.
And now, they have become glowing food in my eyes.
Well, I have built myself confidence in a low-salt diet for years to come.
Maybe, after getting used to it, I will continue to eat a low-salt.
It is both delicious and healthy, so why not do it?
This morning, I finally took a selfie!
I feel like I haven't taken selfies outdoors for a long time, and I can't find that kind of narcissistic happiness.
Well, when I am outdoors, I usually have to meet three conditions before I take a selfie.
That is, the weather (good weather), the location (good scenery), and the people (no one around).
It is rare that when you come back from buying vegetables, no one passes by the country road next to your home. Moreover, the golden rice, the green trees on the mountain and the blue sky are a beautiful view from the same perspective.
So, aim left and right.
Well, no one passed by.
A narcissistic cancer patient has a upper body, a side face angle, and a side face selfie.
Take selfies for a while, enjoy yourself for a while; take selfies for a while, enjoy yourself for a while.
Although I am narcissistic, am I proud?
No, I am still a very humble and hypocritical boy.
Finally, well, I was looping through Cecilia Cheung’s Cantonese song “Any Weather”.
Huh, choose the lyrics of the beginning of this song to end.
You don’t need to worry at all. What do you think of you in this world? Actually, I said you are perfect enough. (To be continued)
