"My life in ruins/life on the verge of collapse", click on the unattractive translation of the title, which is completely directed at a praise evaluation on PPS. At that time, I had just been OT for a week, I just wanted to have some fun on the weekends when there was no show, and give my tired body and mind a vacation. As a result, I just chewed on the extremely yummy shredded squid that I bought on Taobao, and I couldn't stop looking at it and reconciled to the end.
Greece! Ever since I saw my friend's honeymoon photos in Greece, I have been fascinated by this classical, mysterious and island-style country, and it has become one of my most desired travel destinations. Being a tour guide in Greece, bathing in the beautiful scenery every day, what a pleasant job! Once upon a time, being a tour guide was one of my dream jobs. Of course, I know that there is another side to this job. Every day, I lead a group of tourists with different personalities and backgrounds who are equally demanding. They go back and forth to the scenic spots hundreds of times. Grinding too.
Georgia is in this predicament. As a history student, she was forced to make a living as a temporary tour guide because she could not find a job as a teacher. Living alone in an unfamiliar country, without relatives, comforting friends, and loneliness is also difficult. Cultural differences, incompatibility in life, deliberately making things difficult by the boss, hostility from colleagues, dissatisfaction with customers, dislike of the job itself, nothing seems to go well in life, until she met an old man named Irv who taught her How to have fun in ordinary life. All the complaints will be different from another angle. When Georgia tried to practice, she found true love and was recognized by all her clients and bosses.
How similar my life is to Georgia, being a stranger in a foreign land, no family or friends, endless overtime, dissatisfaction from the boss, endless demands, boring life. When you treat work as work, it's never fun, Irv said. There is an optimistic nature in the Greeks, called "kefi" in Greek, and whenever there is a problem, they don't get depressed, they dance for joy. No matter how busy you are, you will set aside time for coffee. Coffee is more important than work. Maybe all I need to do is find my kefi and enjoy working.
Life is a mirror. If you frown and feel resentful all day long, if you keep staring at the dark side, you will always be trapped in gray emotions, and the sun will not shine in your heart. And when you open your heart and relax and enjoy life, you will feel that happiness is actually around you and within your reach. Louise L. Hay believes that positive emotions can cure cancer. Maybe, it's not magic or magic, it's spiritual. Whether rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, no one's life will be smooth sailing, and no one can always be happy. You will always find one way or another unsatisfactory. But if you are good at discovering, you can grow a flower from the ruins, and if you are good at finding the light source, you can grow into a most beautiful sunflower. Therefore, to transform your life, you must start by changing your state of mind. These words apply to you and me.
Let's make beauty, out of the mess!
PS: Irv said that his wife was thinking of Greece all the time, and when he brought her, she was gone. I just hope that we don't have such regrets. Please take me to Greece during my lifetime, and then photograph the Parthenon and our two little heads under the moonlight.
