I watched Qiweishuo last night. Huang Zhizhong gave a speech about a perfect life. I was deeply moved and wanted to share it with everyone.
What is a perfect life?
There is a gourmet in Hong Kong named Chua Lam. Once he went to visit an experienced chef with three Michelin stars. After the interview, he posed a difficult problem to the famous chef. I want him to fry a perfect egg. In fact, everyone can make fried eggs. But frying perfect eggs is harder. Because everyone's taste is different. You may like to eat raw. He probably likes it medium-rare and I like it well-done. The celebrity chef thought about it and said yes. He took out a red-hot pot, poured some olive oil on it, and cracked the eggs into the pot. To Chua Lam, when you want to eat, it is the perfect egg. If you want to eat raw food, eat it now. If you want to eat cooked food, eat it later.
Everyone has different standards for a perfect life. So what is a perfect life? It means that you have more choices at every stage of your life.
So how can we give ourselves as many choices as possible in our lives? This has a prerequisite.
First, have wealth.
Wealth can increase your life options
When you want to learn piano, we need the support of wealth.
When you want to be a traveler and see the beautiful world, you also need the support of wealth.
After working for a few years, you want to go to school for further studies. Wealth can give you no worries.
As the saying goes, money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money. The rich can choose the options of the poor, but the poor cannot choose the other way around.
Second, have wisdom.
Wisdom allows you to use the wealth in your hands to make wise choices.
You will not make regretful choices because of your short-sightedness and short-sightedness.
Or because, without wisdom and fear of choice, you will not be able to enjoy as many options as wealth brings you.
The sooner you gain wisdom, the sooner you can decide your life options, and the happier you will be.
Why do many people say they were unhappy when they were children? That's because you have no judgment.
The third is health.
Without health, you will be forced to make choices about many things.
When they were young, many people worked overtime and often stayed up late. As a result, young people found that their health was no longer good. They always wanted to have a good dinner with their parents, but found that they had no time left. We don’t have much time left. I have always wanted to visit the beautiful Tibet, but I found that there is no way to go.
So health is the foundation of everything.
Health is like air. You cannot find it when it exists. You only know it is indispensable when it is lost.
There are always choices in life, and there are twists and turns in the road. This is the perfect life.
