Everyone is simple, no matter how famous (s)he is. Generally speaking, (s)he is just a creature in this world, and all of us will be part of dirt. I can still remember my management teacher’s philosophy: “Man’s whole life is just amusing and enjoying himself; we need not care much about what others comment.” These words always haunted me beside my ears when I feel frustrated or depressed.
It is three months ago that I first met Ban Ki-Moon #. I had been lucky enough to get the ticket of the speech; therefore, when I stood out the auditorium, full of solemnity and admiration, I couldn’t stop wondering how his temperament would attract all the audience. At 14:00, he commenced his speech on environment punctually, after one hour emotional lecture, he ended with a smile. Then, he went straight to the left of the platform where is opposite to his seat, thus his wife had to stand up to guide him back. He was puzzled at first; afterwards, he gave us a childlike smile, and fellow his wife slowly. All of us were amused by the small mistake, and the atmosphere of the speech became less serious while more vibrant.
On the way back to school, I heard one of my fellow student said “I don’t know whether it is a lapse of the host. But I know that famous as he is, he is just a husband that can make mistakes in his wife eyes.” Indeed, we appreciated him much; maybe, as to himself, the reputation is something affixed, he just does the right thing he believes, he trusts, which is enough to him.
It is the same to every individual; we live a life influenced much by what is meaningless: the words of strangers, the order of the day, the reaction of the one who has nothing to do with your case. Sometimes, it seems like the more insignificant the people is, the more we will be influenced, because we do not want to be shamed by a layman, which sounds ridiculous; unfortunately, it is the case most of times. Moreover, I always believe that it is the reason why we feel depressed and frustrated.
Recalling the scene in management class, a middle-age professor stared at blackboard without a word, and suddenly burst out a piece of stupendous speech; then speaking to us smilingly “Man’s whole life is just amusing and enjoying himself”. Perhaps many years will be cost to comprehend these words, to achieve this philosophy; whereas, I’d like to be a guy who can follow the voice echoed in my spirit.
Man’s whole life is just amusing and enjoying himself. I really agree with sentence. Now we are all in a hectic, competing society, so we feel sorry for ourselves sometimes, don't we?
ReplyDeleteVery meaningful blog...actually i like this one lah haha..
ReplyDeleteIt seems easy but hard to act just like ourselves. But the real person is most attractive in my eyes.
so...enjoy yourslef and your own life. that's nice.
We are all different one way or another.In life we just recognise who we are,what talents we have ,and be grateful. Indeed fame is only a status, not a state of perfection.Thus a famous person is still very human,capable of making mistakes. Just stay true to yourself and you`ll be alright.
ReplyDeleteI cannot agree with you more.You are who you are.Why do we let others' comments influence our thought and action?...No matter how mighty a person is,he is a human.Mistakes are something than we human cancot avert.However ,by the way, it is really difficult to ignore what others say sometimes.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is different, I am who I am. We just do what we enjoy and what we think is right to make our life colourful
ReplyDeleteI think there is no clear dividing line between good and bad.Just do what we want to do,chase our own dreams,enjoy our lives,then we will become the people who are happy.
