One is a writer who suddenly decided to hike after receiving a satirical interview, searching for friends everywhere, but most of them refused. The irony in the middle part is that most of the reasons for the refusal are physical embarrassment and black humor. The irony. The last companion was someone the writer had never thought of. The alcoholic who owed him $600 more than ten years ago surprised the writer when the latter got off the plane, because of his huge body, a limp left leg, and he had to eat every hour or else he would just eat. The state of seizures made the writer feel that this would not be a good walking partner, but they still set off.
The whole story is composed of several short stories that happened during the journey, and recorded a few more impressive ones:
1. At the beginning of the departure, the alcoholic wanted to delay his departure due to the delicious pancakes of the hotel breakfast, but the writer set off without hesitation, even the alcoholic The greed for food and warmth still set off, slowly, but never thought of giving up. Even though the writer has repeatedly questioned his persistence and disliked his drag, the only thing they did not think about was giving up.
2. Encountered two big black bears while sleeping at night. Both of them were frightened, but they still looked through the books to check the information for a clear response-to scare the black bear away, you can only scare away, instead of pretending to die. In fact, the first reaction of the two people was to pretend to be dead, but the book told them that they must face it, and scaring the black bear away is the only way. So the two of them resisted the fear and shouted and finally made the black bear retreat. Haha, in fact, this is consistent with many scenes in our lives. When encountering difficulties, the only thing we can do is not to escape, but to move forward courageously. The true courage is not not being afraid, but keeping moving even if you are afraid. I hope that in my future life, I will be as if they met a black bear, shuddering to scare away all difficulties, even if my legs are weak and my scalp is numb, I also want to keep my eyes firm and roar!
3. The two fell off the cliff and were trapped in the middle of the mountain. At night, the two talked for a long time, talking about life, the past, the future, regrets, and reluctant to give up. People always know about life until the last moment. What I want to cherish the most is to regret what I didn't say at the beginning. So, the best time for what you want to say and do is always-now.
4. The writer said: I am curious about everything in the world, and I like my curious feeling. I am full of interest and doubts about the world I live in, and I like the process of exploration.
The drunkard said: I am not interested in everything around, these are small things, I don't stick to the trivial, I become big things, haha.
This conversation is quite interesting. The writer belongs to the type of winner in life (successer). His wife, children and grandchildren are full of renown, and he is a winner in life no matter in life or work; while the alcoholic belongs to the loser, and the elderly have no wives. No children, have been a criminal, have been in jail. The two are so inconsistent in their treatment of life. Perhaps the more successful people are, the more they have a characteristic: permanent curiosity. Only when you are curious about things will you be willing to spend time and energy to understand and explore, in order to be successful in the corresponding field.
In fact, my current life seems to be close to that drunkard, the attitude of a losser in life! I am only interested in what I have to learn, or that I am forced to be interested, but ignore everything else. It also reputedly says that limited time and energy should be reserved for more important things. In fact, I don’t know that this process is enough. Wasted unlimited time and energy.
We will be accustomed to treating work as a struggle and a waste of energy, and then think that after work, we should rest and replenish energy, so that we don't have any extra improvement in our spare time. Just like the article "What you do in your spare time determines the height of your life pattern" I saw before, I couldn't understand this sentence before, and even thought it was extremely ridiculous. I think that spare time must of course be used to strengthen your professional knowledge. Ah, life should be study besides work, and study should also be related to majors. However, this is not the case. Life is not survival, and work should not be just for survival. Don’t take work as a task to complete, but enjoy work. After work, enjoy life, feel life, and integrate into life. Don’t use compensation to treat all your rest time and do what you really want to do. It’s rest.
5. During the final return journey, the writer regrets that we have only walked half way. The drunkard said, I don't care, I know, I have seen the Ordos Mountain, hiked the Alpha Forest Road, felt the winter snow and summer heat, I think I have finished my hike.
"We are far from our goal."
"What did you say, we did it."
"We didn't even have a chance to take a look at Katadine Mountain." (Unfortunately)
"Another mountain? How many mountains do you have to see to be satisfied? In my opinion, we are already gone. The Appalachian Trail is over. We have walked through the scorching sun, through the wind and snow, we walked to our feet bleeding, and we hiked on the Appalachian Trail, Bryson." (Proud)
"Perhaps you That's right."
Well, at this moment, I think the alcoholic is also a philosopher of life.
It’s similar to Yu Qiuyu’s artistic conception: "Climb, climb, just climb, no matter how you say, I always stand at the top of the road I have traveled. The top of the eternal, the top of the floating, the top of the self, never Back to the top."
Yes, we will always stand at the top of the journey we have traveled. The destination is not the only one. The scenery and harvest during the journey should be the most cherished.
The first time I tried some film reviews, I just wanted to give myself a urge. I have read a lot of books and watched a lot of movies. If I don’t summarize and don’t say anything, it seems to pass through my mind very quickly. Set a goal for yourself. Every time you watch a movie, every time you read a book, try to write a summary of your insights. This is also a process of knowledge transformation. It is also a process of refining the lives of others you see into your own life. It's a kind of life experience.
