Today is New Year's Day 2010.
I got up in the morning and watched the movie "Julie & Julia". The first time I heard about this movie was in the VOA column. A few days ago, I watched it during a lunch break on a working day. The plot was not very fascinating, just plain life. So I only saw half of it, and I fell asleep on my desk. The second half was just now, and I had nothing to do with the Internet, so I sat on the bed and read it.
There is no rich plot, no exciting imagination, and even some hate Julia's long tail English, loud talking voice and shaking head in the movie. Maybe it's not a very good movie, and the score on IMDB is not high or low at 7.4 points. But that doesn't stop me from wanting to write down the insights it brings on the first day of the new year.
There are many helpless things in life. It is like a child who is naughty and maddening, always bringing troubles and unhappiness together. It's like in the movie Julie is experiencing a sumptuous dinner, happily waiting for the New York Times reporter to share, but received a call to cancel the trip due to heavy rain; when all excitement turns to disappointment, she wants to vent, and she is infected by this emotion and quarrels with her husband I had a fight; the next day I tried to calm down and brought the cream to the company to eat, but the bag broke and spilled halfway along the way; when I came to the company, I had to endure scolding from my boss for work. As for Julia, she hoped that the publisher would publish the new book, but waited for the result of the publisher's rejection of the manuscript and asked for a rewrite; she had been encouraging her husband to be recalled to the country for interrogation for the unwarranted things he had always encouraged to help her... No wonder the ancients often said that life was not satisfactory It's been eighty-nine times out of ten.
There will always be low points in life, and there will always be unhappiness and disappointment of one kind or another. So what? You can't always escape, although it's very difficult, but you will come over after gritting your teeth. After the wind and rain, there is a rainbow, and good luck will come quietly in the next moment.
In retrospect, in 2009, there were still great changes and gains. I challenged my perseverance to walk 100 kilometers in the rain; I developed the habit of watching movies and reading books; I met new friends; I learned a lot. That's fine.
Julie insisted on a total of 526 French recipes for 365 days and kept it on the blog, which is really not easy. Today is the first day of the new year, and I also made a 365-day plan to see how long I can last. Those seemingly young and frivolous dreams, I will always work hard and will not forget them.
New Year's Wish: To meet someone like Julie and marry him as a wife.
Plainness is actually a good thing.
Thank God.
PS: The pronunciation of Boeuf Bourguignon is really weird.
