"People don't think about being old, and veterans don't arrive."
"They are also people who are angry and forget food, and enjoy forgetting their worries. I don't know if they are old."
This is what Confucius said about himself when he was about 65 years old. As a man, he often forgets to eat when he is angry at reading, and he is very happy every day and forgets his sorrow, having no idea that old age is coming.
People's health and longevity are related to psychological factors. In daily life, people are often influenced by psychological hints. Good hints can give people positive happiness, and vice versa. People's physiological age is objective, but their psychological age is different, which reflects their mental state.
In recent years, an "old demon" came out with neat and white dentures. In the deep brush of eyebrow and black, the cherry mouth is a little red; The camel on the back dances without hindrance, and the old people are praised as angels and lovely-this is the nickname that Song Shuru himself has never avoided. She told the society with actions that "eighty can make eighteen". Enjoying happiness and spreading happiness are her main purpose and state of life every day now.
Song Shuru, in the words of today's young people, is a "senior beauty", born in 1922. In her small, shady old house, a bright sunflower was tied with a pink tulle curtain, and the furniture and floor in the room were a little creamy white. The most striking thing was that headdresses and brooches with different patterns on the dresser were placed in boxes and countertops in an eclectic way. This is not the bedroom for the elderly in people's concept, and it is clearly full of sunshine and vitality, so that everyone who sees it will change the secular view. Walking in makes you feel warm and comfortable.
After retirement, Song Shuru took part in a series of cultural activities organized by the community, and almost never stopped. Poetry recitation, Chinese and English songs, dances and sketches were all her fortes. Every morning in Yuyuanze Park, it is also Song Shuru's regular homework to teach the elderly to dance fitness dance.
In an activity during Beijing's Olympic bid, Song Shuru, who was nearly eighty years old, enthusiastically recited Samuel's Youth in English: "Youth is not a period of life, but a state of life; It does not refer to rosy cheeks, red lips and flexible legs and feet, but to strong will, rich imagination and strong feelings. It refers to the fresh feeling of living water, the source of life ... "
Song Shuru became famous in one fell swoop, becoming the most dynamic health of the elderly in China, a world-famous happy old man, and known as the" beauty without memory "in China. She often shares a sentence with everyone: "When you are in a bad mood, change clothes." Paying attention to self-decoration and beauty is conducive to adjusting the body and mind in the best state, so the time she spends dressing up in front of the mirror every day is carefully comparable to that of a young girl. The beauty and elegance of clothes, jewelry and shoes and backpacks can be included in fashion magazines.
However, some people keep hinting that they are old just after their sixties. After a long time, they will feel overwhelmed and may have various physical discomfort. This kind of negative psychology is the enemy of health and longevity. Forget your age and stay energetic. Maintaining a mental state of not being afraid of old age and being in a good mood is beneficial to longevity. Confucius once said that reading and studying can make people forget their age and sorrow. "Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy."
There is a saying, "It's never too old to learn". It's better to like learning than to know that you should. If you like learning, it is better to find pleasure in learning. Many old comrades are busy with their daily work all day long and have no time to care about their hobbies. Now that they are retired, they have more free time. They can learn things that they didn't have time to care about in the past and find the joy of life in their studies. They can keep their brains young and function normally, make all organs and systems work in harmony, and their metabolism is still vigorous and their vitality is still strong. Learning relevant knowledge, knowing more, will not be easily influenced by others, can avoid the harm of bad emotions such as worry, shock and fear to the human body, and will make people full of confidence in health and longevity, and can actively adopt a healthy lifestyle. Learning new knowledge, coupled with old experience, can give children many useful suggestions to help them solve practical problems, which really answers the old saying that "an old family has a treasure" and will also make the family happy and happy.
Love your own life, be dedicated, be happy to forget your worries, and everyone should be happy to contribute to society. Many scientists live a long life, one of the important reasons is that they love the scientific cause that benefits mankind and promotes social progress, use their brains diligently, and have an open mind and tranquility. Someone once counted the life span of 3188 famous natural scientists in China from AD 221 to the founding of New China. Their average life span was 65.18 years, far exceeding the average life span at that time. This fact proves that people who love their jobs and have made achievements in their careers live longer than the average person.
In Song Shuru's small room, a big desk occupies a lot of space, and a small bookshelf is full of newspapers, magazines, books and notebooks of all sizes. "Although I usually love singing and dancing, in fact, my favorite is reading. I don't read literary books now, mainly philosophical books. " The old man casually pulled out a thin pamphlet "Life's Words". Through reading and thinking, Mrs. Song also has her own "Proverbs of Life". A paragraph on the front page says: "A person's life cannot be separated from the guidance of philosophy. Everyone has factors of truth, goodness and beauty, but they are sometimes suppressed by external influences. Only through philosophy can they be stimulated." It is full of life wisdom.
It is reported that when Holda Crook was 65 years old, she never felt that her life was over. Instead, she felt that she would have a better life in the future. She started mountaineering at the age of 66 and climbed many peaks in the United States. On her 91th birthday, she also climbed Mount Fuji in Japan at an altitude of 3,776 meters. Not afraid of old age will make people have a good mood. Spinoza, a famous British philosopher, said: "The tide of life rises for happiness and falls for pain." If people are confident that they are over 111 years old and active in life, they will undoubtedly delay aging and enjoy a long life. It can be seen that not thinking about old age and not being afraid of old age is a vital psychological fence for every elderly person to cross.
