Nephew: "Sometimes I really want to sleep until the age of 18, skip this shit high school and others. Jump over."
Uncle: "Do you know Marcel Proust?"
Nephew: "You teach him The one in the article?"
Uncle: "Yes, it's him. Proust, a French writer, he is a complete failure. He has never had a decent job, unrequited love, homosexuality, and it took 20 years to write a book. A novel that people read. But he may be the greatest writer since Shakespeare.
So, uh, when he came to the end of his life and looked back at his life, he felt that the years he endured pain were the best in his life. Because it was those who made him.
Was he happy during those years? It was all wasted and nothing was learned. If you want to sleep until you are 18 years old. Ah, think about how much pain you will miss..."
Nephew: "Did you know, let the beauty contest go to death. Life is one beauty contest after another, middle school, college, and then work, all go to death. Air force school also go to death. If I want to fly, I will have You can fly, do what you feel happy, and die..."
Uncle: "I'm so glad you finally spoke, Dwayne, you are not so stupid when you drive..."
Nephew, smiled faintly...
Uncle When talking about Proust, I naturally think of Kafka. This man didn't know that he had succeeded until the end of his life. He gave the unpublished manuscripts to his friend Broad, hoping to burn them. He is not married, has no children, and suffers from tuberculosis. Pain made him write great works. But until his death he didn't know their value. Of course, these losers are not the only ones. For example, Van Gogh cut off his ears in pain. Did these people succeed or fail? If success is defined as achieving a certain goal, their lives are unsuccessful. At least he didn't taste success until he died.
Success is not in the distance, but in the constant pursuit. The scene that touched me the most in "Little Sunshine" is that the family knows that they have no chance of winning, and they are still chasing the yellow minibus with a broken clutch. Time and time again, chasing the damn beauty pageant. At this time, you will find that it doesn't matter to them whether they succeed or not, they are just doing what they want to do. What they won is not the game, but themselves.
When you are relieved and learn to laugh at yourself, you have succeeded. The painful years are just for you to understand the true meaning of success, there is no need to be a so-called successful person. Try hard and don't be afraid of others' ridicule. Life is short, just having sex is enough. When you look back on the past, you will be proud of yourself and live the life you want.
If you know this, what does success have to do?
