I don’t know since when, everyone likes to evaluate their impression of a person by whether he is interesting or not. After plastic surgery is all the rage and the value judgment of beauty is subverted, what will remain forever are the books you have read, the roads you have traveled, the temperament written on your face and the fun engraved in your bones.
As the saying goes: Your current temperament hides the path you have traveled, the books you have read and the people you have loved.
As time goes by, you will learn that an interesting person is more likable than an outwardly beautiful person.
Some people say, don’t put yourself in a life of standardized happiness and mass production. The kind of life you live depends on the angle from which you look at life.
Try to do something different and make yourself an interesting person!
01
Challenge yourself: do things you dare not do
I especially like Chen Yihan. On her 30th birthday, she and her best friend Zhang Junning did it together Lots of very interesting things. Go skinny dipping in the sea, tie your hair in braids, stand on your head all over the world...
Sometimes, trying to do something you never dared to do will not only be unforgettable, but also make life more interesting.
If you are timid, try bungee jumping or skydiving from an airplane; if you are shy, try smiling at foreigners on the subway; if you are tone-deaf, choose an empty place. In the afternoon, enjoy KTV alone.
If you are afraid of speaking in public, just memorize a speech in front of the mirror, and then go to a place where there is no one and give a brave speech! You know, you are your most loyal audience!
If you are afraid of traveling alone, just find a place, pick up your luggage, check the guide, and hit the road. I believe that your journey will be wonderful!
What else are you afraid of doing? Try it and see!
02
Buy flowers for yourself
I know a boy who orders a bouquet of flowers for himself every week. When black Monday comes, in the dark office When the atmosphere is full of tension, a bouquet of flowers exudes a subtle fragrance in the corner, which can brighten the mood no matter it is a cold winter or a hot summer.
A sister told me that a truly attractive woman is one who can buy flowers for herself. A bouquet of flowers brings you not only a good mood and beautiful surprises for a week, but also the care, attention and care you give to it during the long working day, such as pruning the branches, changing the water, and cleaning up the debris. , this careful process not only enriches life, but also enriches the spirit. This is a very touching process.
03
There is a time for humor and a time for laughter
How charming are humorous people? You can tell just by looking at Huang Bo. Lin Chiling has said many times that Huang Bo is her ideal type. Humorous people have a natural attraction. A sense of humor makes it easier to get along with each other. Using humor to resolve embarrassment and other people's malice is a sign of high emotional intelligence and a kind of tolerance.
Bernard Shaw once said that humor is like a spring in a carriage. Without it, a pebble will make you jolt.
Humor is an optimistic attitude towards life. Learn to be a humorous person, because humorous people are really beautiful.
04
Appreciate classical music
Go to the concert hall to enjoy a concert, whether it is the lightness of the violin, the deepness of the cello, the rhythm of the piano, or the pipa The euphemism can allow the soul to accept a baptism of beauty.
Standing on the stage and singing a pop song will make people think you are handsome. If you are willing to listen to a piece of classical music and share your experience with others, then you will definitely be the same in other people’s eyes. Elegant and respectable.
05
Learn an instrument
I learned the pipa last year and realized that the pipa is a magical instrument with an extremely wide range of sounds and can play all kinds of music. The syllables that the instrument can play are even a bit exaggerated, and a pipa can be a concert of its own.
Gradually I fell in love with this classical folk music, with its tinkling spring-like timbre and celestial musical texture. Watching the art masters heartily perform "Ambush from Flying Daggers", it was a lingering song. The euphemistic "Red Dust Inn" makes me sigh.
Bai Juyi said, "The big strings are noisy like the pelting rain, the small strings are like whispers, the noises are all mixed up, and the big and small beads are falling on the jade plate". Only then can I feel the "thousands of voices" When the call comes out, it still has the beauty of holding the pipa and half covering the face.
Try to learn an instrument. Next time you go to the beach alone, blow the sea breeze, hold your guitar, and play and sing a song alone, you will be a wandering knight.
06
Exercise will make you very attractive
I once saw a girl share that the biggest investment she made in the past year was to get a After more than half a year of using the fitness card, I have shown off my sharp waistline and deep waistline. My skin has become firmer and more stylish, and I have become more confident.
If the gym makes you feel boring, then try cycling, climbing, or hiking. In the process, you will not only make new friends, but also make your body better and better.
07
Reading is the least futile thing
Borges once said that if there is heaven, it should be like a library.
A fashion blogger once said that if you really don’t know what to do, just read a book.
In the biographies of celebrities, you can experience different lives; in the history, you can feel the changes of the times; in the literary books, you can cultivate your moral character; in the psychology books, you can make yourself healthier physically and mentally.
Of course, you can also read some books about architecture, house storage, religion, etc. Whether you are traveling or chatting with friends, it is still very fashionable to be able to speak out these trivial knowledge clearly!
08
Let’s take a quick trip
The meaning of travel may be that the limbs that are not resistant to cold can easily feel the subtleties of the air change. Goethe had an interpretation of travel in "To Caroline von Herder": The reason why people love traveling is not to reach the destination, but to enjoy the fun of the journey.
How many people have read Che Guevara's "Motorcycle Diaries" and followed him all the way to South America? Traveling is not about going from a place where you are tired of staying to a place where others are tired of staying, but a process of searching for yourself, discovering yourself, and exploring your heart.
Walking on the streets of a foreign country, feeling the different humanities, different smiling faces, different foods, different buildings, watching the backpackers passing by you in a hurry, watching the people who are passionate about it. European and American people who enjoy life must hang out in cafes and party all night in bars no matter where they go.
On a certain cruise ship on a certain sea, chatting with people from all over the world about your and my itinerary, the customs and habits of each other's countries, that unique life experience will make you more Be grateful for the vastness of life and your own insignificance.
During the journey, you will be shocked by the sunrise and sunset in different places. You will trek through mountains and rivers all the way. You can encounter goose-like snowflakes in the far north, and you can also enjoy the phoenix flowers in the warm sunshine of the south. After opening two seasons, the journey includes the red desert described by Mi Mi and the golden ocean in the movie.
So, go travel and let yourself grow while traveling.
09
Don’t ignore the city you live in
How many people have worked and lived in a city for more than ten years, and the space for activities is always home. And somewhere near the company? Give yourself some time to get a feel for your city.
Having been in Shanghai for a year and a half, I was lucky enough to participate in the city walk and basically visited the most charming and historical corners of the city.
I can tell you the stories of celebrities from the Leftist League on Duolun Road in Shanghai, tell you about Zhang Ailing’s former residence on the bank of the Suzhou River; recommend to you the Internet celebrity shops on Wukang Road; the "mobile" in the French Concession "Feast"...
So, don't ignore the city where you live. Every corner is filled with treasures left by history.

Unlock a new skill
Peng Yuyan is the absolute idol in the hearts of many people. Not only because of his always-on good looks and perfect figure with a body fat rate of 3%, but more importantly because of Peng Yuyan, who is always working hard and unlocks a new skill almost every time he makes a movie.
Now he has gymnastics, sign language, Muay Thai, cycling, dolphin training, surfing... It can be said that he has eighteen martial arts skills.
Unlocking a new skill doesn’t have to be difficult, but it can make you more interesting. For example, you can learn some sign language, learn divination, tarot, learn to swim, learn to sing a song well, or even learn the Rubik's Cube.
11
Learn a new language
Language is a magical thing. Mastering a new language not only adds points to your skills, but is also a shining point when looking for a job and changing jobs. You can use your free time to try to learn the Japanese syllabary and French alphabet pronunciation by yourself, or simply choose a language you have always liked and sign up for a class, but you must persist!
12
Traveling the world with movies
In the film class in college, I met Hou Hsiao-hsien, got to know the military community, fell in love with Hu Defu’s singing, and Wu Nianzhen story. I have fallen in love with Taiwan since then. Although I have never been there, my heart beats every time I watch a movie about that island on the other side of the Pacific.
In "One Night in Taipei", visit the 24-hour Eslite Bookstore; follow "Mongolia" to experience the Taiwanese gangsters of that era; appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Pacific Ocean in "Etudes"; In "The Untold Secret", follow Jay Chou back to his student days...
It is super interesting to follow the movie and travel around the world. In "Midnight in Paris", follow the footsteps of the protagonist, meet Paris celebrities, and indulge in the feasting and feasting of romantic Paris;
In "Midnight in Barcelona", listen to Dali's art; in "Children of Paradise" , enter Iran, a country that is poor but sings beautiful stories softly;
Feel the most authentic slums of Rio de Janeiro in "City in the Sky"...
Give yourself two When you are young, turn on a movie and the world is right in front of you!

Fall in love with listening to lectures
Listening to lectures is the most profitable thing. Elites and leaders in various industries will share their decades of research results with you through a lecture in just 2 hours. All that is condensed is the most essential part of knowledge.
And many lectures often have unexpected surprises. For example, some information you have been looking for can happen to be heard in the lecture.
14
Go to the city to see a few exhibitions
In 2016, the most shocking exhibition I saw was the World Photography Exhibition at the Shanghai Exhibition Center in October. Well-known galleries from all over the world gathered in Shanghai. Here, for the first time, I fully saw Xiao Quan’s works and Dou Wei and Sanmao under his lens. An exhibition shows the whole world.
At an exhibition about Daigoji Temple in Japan in the Shanghai Museum, I learned about another side of Japanese culture that is unknown to everyone.
If you have nothing to do on the weekend, remember to go to the museum to see an exhibition, it will penetrate into your temperament.

Be a volunteer and enjoy the joy of giving
Giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance in your hands. It seems that I have been trying to volunteer since I was in college.
Last year, I served as a volunteer in two charity spiritual courses. When you open your heart and pass on warmth and love to everyone, the trust you gain is a huge energy. This energy is enough to warm your entire life.
The volunteers who have just finished a travel activity feel warm in their hearts when they think that they are messengers of happiness and that they are needed by others, even though the weather is cold.
Become a volunteer, the world needs you so deeply.
17
Go to a cafe and be an experience manager
If you are like me and can’t tell the difference between cappuccino and latte, try it Learn something about it! There are often similar activities on Douban. You can choose a day to go to a cafe and try to experience the store manager for a day, feel the temperature of the handiwork, let the coffee beans slowly grind into powder in your own hands, and paint the milk with your own hands. Open your heart and enjoy experiencing different happiness.

Give yourself a holiday and watch a high-quality Japanese drama
I have always liked Japanese dramas because they always contain a special energy. Sometimes it seems like a pot of thick chicken soup, sometimes it seems like a bloody war, but you can always read some philosophy of life from it. You might as well give yourself a holiday on the weekend and binge-watching TV shows is also an interesting thing.

This is a good way to cultivate patience. If you can play with the Rubik's Cube, remember to share this little skill. Teaching others is a super fulfilling thing.
If you have deep research on Tarot, have experience in writing, or are a fitness expert, remember to share it. I believe a large number of people will like you.

Persist in doing a few useless things every day
Fold a small star every day, fold a paper crane every day, and copy an ancient poem every day , copy a Heart Sutra every day, insist on taking pictures of the same sky every day... What other useless things can you think of?

I once heard a sharing from Li Muze, the brand president of Lonely Planet China. He mentioned a detail, you are in Tibet. What you see is this side of Mount Everest. When you go to Nepal, what you see is the other side of Mount Everest. Many travel friends couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw this fateful beauty.
I don’t know when it started. Cycling in Tibet became a fashionable and cool subtext. I don’t know when it started. Medog is no longer the secret lotus land written by Annie Baby, but has become a place of faith that I have been pursuing all my life. land.
Lin Xi wrote in "Under Mount Fuji": Love is like Mount Fuji. You can't expect it to come over, you can only walk over by yourself, and Tibet is also like Mount Fuji.
You must go to Tibet once in your life to feel the piety and faith of the Tibetan people prostrate themselves under the snow-capped mountains. Feel what Tsangyang Gyatso said: In my previous life, I climbed ten mountains, not to cultivate the next life, but to "I'll meet you on the way", I went to Lhasa to perform a prayer.

You don’t know when your body will betray you, but you can never give up on it. With patience, tolerance, and pain, To achieve the final beauty.
