In fact, the lecture named "Yes!" in the film is very memorable. For example, the opening of the lecture: Life, we are all living, is that really the case? Change comes from consciousness, but where does consciousness come from? Consciousness stems from the effects of external things, so how do we control external things? It only needs one word, what is it? That's right, it's "yes". Of course, there is also what the speaker said: "I hope you will bring "yes" into your life, because it will bring you a better life. When you say "yes" to other people's requests, you are embracing infinite possibilities, you are gathering the power of life and removing the dross..." The
film conveys this positive attitude towards life in various ways, of which the most fascinating What is still fresh in my memory is what the lecturer said to the protagonist: "Say no to life, so you are not really alive. You made up a lot of interfaces to deceive people around you and yourself. You have been working for so many years and your work has not improved. You have no girlfriend. You have lost the love in your life. Your nights are always full of boredom and fatigue..." This passage made the protagonist also make me realize, It's time to re-examine my attitude towards life.
It seems that he is really already developing in a bad direction. Many times, due to the lack of friends around and unsatisfactory work, I will choose to stay at home and stimulate my nerves through entertainment in order to get a little happiness from it, but it fails. Although my current life is not so boring to me, at least it is lack of vitality. It is difficult for me to find the joy of student time. In my opinion, that kind of happiness is not the unique happiness of school days, but a mood of sharing happiness with others. After that, will I gradually lose my life like the protagonist did at the beginning, lose the love in my life, and become irritable and depressed all day long? In fact, you can’t always blame others. Think about yourself. In the face of other people’s requests, how many times have you thought of accepting rather than rejecting it? For some things you can bear, but you choose to give up, are you too worried? The consequences? Is this situation caused by the changes in the surrounding environment, the pressure of work and life, or the seemingly unstoppable vanity called "dignity"? Possibly, these problems exist, but we should think more about our attitude towards external affairs. In fact, many times, even if we don't feel unhappy, but we are doing nothing, and living a life, is it really what I want to live an ordinary life?
Perhaps, like the protagonist, saying "yes" to all requests is not a simple matter. This requires us to abandon our previous habits, reform our own thinking, and let go of the so-called "dignity" to make ourselves reborn. Reborn, for many people, including me, it may be really difficult, but the first thing we need to do is to firmly say "yes" to our inner choices, and then, from the next moment, let one more than one The "yes" speaks from our mouths. When a request for one thing changes from rejection to acceptance, and one opportunity from missed to grasp, will it enrich our lives? It would be great if you can find more happiness in the past or have more vision for the future. The important thing is that we are not forcing a change, but a gradual process. Based on the good habits we cultivate, we try more to face ourselves and the people and things around us with a positive attitude.
Anyway, let's try to start with saying "yes"!
PS: The "yes" mentioned in the text is a general term for the words "是", "好", "OK" in Chinese~
