Hongdou: What are you writing about?

Mu Zhu: What do you think is what you are.

Hongdou: What a broken thing.

Mu Zhu: It’s not broken, it’s not established.

Hongdou: Do anyone read these when you write them?

Mu Zhu: Didn’t you watch it? I’m so sorry, I wasted your time.

Hongdou: You should write less and accompany me to wander around.

Mu Zhu: What a great idea. Where do you want to go?

Hongdou: Yuwan Trail.

Mu Zhu: I have heard of it for a long time, but I have never been able to do it. I heard that it is quiet and can cultivate one's own character.

Hongdou: Go and prepare, and leave at 9 a.m.

Mu Zhu: Please show you an English article later and tell me how you feel after reading it.

Mu Zhu: The article says that too many people often feel disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.

Hongdou: The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. This is an old saying. People’s expectations cannot be deviated from reality, and it is always impossible to think about things that are full of things.

Mu Zhu: The three points mentioned in the last article are quite useful for me.

Hongdou: 1. Don’t always expect others to appreciate it. Others have no obligation to do this. Learn to be grateful.

Mu Zhu: Second, don’t always expect others to make you happy. Learn to be happy and share happiness with others.

Hongdou: 3. Don’t expect that you will not encounter disappointments in life. Disappointment happens from time to time, and sadness is inevitable. Learn to forgive and move forward hard. Do these three things, happiness is not far away.

Mu Zhu: So, I wrote my heart by hand, and I don’t want you to be sad. I don’t give me encouragement, but I’ll make me feel discouraged.

Hongdou: Let me read this article, it turns out that you have ulterior motives.

Mu Zhu: I dare not. I still feel guilty about taking up your precious time.

Hongdou: You deserve a beating.

Mu Zhu: Be gentle with your hands. I can’t stand your wind and I can’t stand your beating. But to be honest, I have to thank you. If you listen to too many good words, people will inevitably float away. Listening to criticism can make people sober.

Hongdou: Do you know why there are criticisms?

Mu Zhu: It’s hard to talk to everyone, am I right?

Hongdou: Let me tell you. Criticism is nothing more than the following reasons. One is due to misunderstanding, the other is due to half of understanding, the third is because of really not understanding, the fourth is due to jealousy, and the fifth is due to pain points.

Mu Zhu: Your analysis is really detailed. But in my opinion, I am most afraid of ignoring it. Just like a certain food, it is delicious to say it is not bad to your appetite, and it is most afraid that no one will pay attention to the food.

Hongdou: Actually, people who write articles always hope that others will say that they write well, but criticism is also a kind of natural sound.

Mu Zhu: It is indeed the sound of nature, which can make people feel down to earth and not drift out of the sky.

Hongdou: Are you still worried?

Mu Zhu: Am I so stingy? I don’t look at my measurement. I recently read a passage about a classic building - the Budapest Postal Savings Building. It was built in the early 20th century and its roof was beautifully decorated. There are many interesting things, such as waves and angels. Someone once asked the architect who designed it, why the pedestrians on the roof were not visible to them, so why did they build so many interesting things. The architect replied: But birds can see them.

Hongdou: The architect is so humorous. I take back what I said. If you write your post, just someone can read it. I would like to be a flying bird and see all the beautiful things.
