The bed is probably the place where you spend the most time in your life! In addition to one-third of the day sleeping, a lot of other time can also be spent in bed.
I came back from walking the dog, made a cup of tea, lay half on the bed, and actually slept until after nine o'clock! I got up to eat something and walked around. It was already ten o'clock, and in more than half an hour I would have to go out again.
On the playground behind the house, rehearsals for the fall sports games are taking place. The sound of music, slogans, and occasionally one or two scoldings filled the whole room and there was not even a place to hide.
Nowadays, it is really difficult for people to want to be quiet for a while. I have a computer, TV, and mobile phone at home. These things are usually open whether they are in use or not. I have a friend who basically never turns off the TV: it’s on when cooking, on when eating, and even when sleeping. When asked why he was like this, he said he was used to it and felt that there was no movement at home and it was empty and boring.
After leaving home, the streets were filled with the sounds of sales and advertising vehicles. In order to make huge profits, businesses have never hesitated to spend money on publicity. In addition to mobile promotional vehicles and constant hawking, there are also a variety of advertising papers. From the auditory to the visual, it is promoted in all directions, so it is difficult for you to know which supermarket has a special offer! In addition, each sales department has its own speakers and plays their favorite songs. Especially the small shop that sells candied haws on a stick, they play the song "Candied haws on a stick" on a loop all day long...
Therefore, if people nowadays want to be quiet, they need to practice deeply. You must have the ability to close your worldly ears and open your spiritual space, so that you can enjoy the inner coolness alone. But there are not many such opportunities. Trivial matters like this always make your heart full and messy. How I wish I had a quiet and ethereal heart! Place your soul there and no longer be disturbed by those earthly things.
All the fruits at home are gone, but I don’t want to go out to buy them. Although I have to pass four or five fruit shops every day when I go out. Either I forgot to bring money, or I brought money and forgot to buy something. I always think of it the moment I get home and open the door. However, at this time, my shoes have been kicked off and my bag has been thrown deep into the sofa... ...
Wait until next time, but it happens every time.
I got used to turning on the computer and listening to Shaoxing opera tirelessly. When I'm in a good mood, I think it's the sound of nature; when I'm in a bad mood, it's the background music to which I feel dazed and silly.
The birthday of their lover is coming soon, and the daughters want to buy a watch for their father. They have been shopping online for a long time, but they are still not sure. Most dials have scales but no numbers. I can’t stand such a watch, and my daughter is very angry about it:
"Mom, you think everyone is like you. You only know how to read a watch, and it has to be a 12-hour clock."
"Of course they are not all like me, but your dad is getting older day by day. Maybe one day, he will not be as good as me! So, be sure to buy one with numbers on the dial. The design is simple and elegant, and it is best to be made in China."
"Domestic? Mechanical or quartz? Which brand do you want?"
"I want the quartz one. You don't have to wind it every day. Just want the seagull brand."
"Seagull's? Never heard of it."
“I checked online and found that as a Chinese, I don’t know about Seagull watches?”
After a while, my daughter called again:
"If you want to use a domestic Seagull watch, your daughter can't afford it for the time being. It costs thousands or tens of thousands."
Then, my daughter sent me a link on QQ. I opened it and took a look, right? They still support domestic products all day long. At such a price, how can we, ordinary people, support it? When I got married, I bought a Seagull watch for less than 200 yuan.
My lover came back from get off work and told him. Seeing my disapproval, he looked at me and said:
"You were less than 200 yuan, and my monthly salary at that time was less than 120 yuan! More than a month's salary, now equivalent to thousands, is not serious!"
"Times have changed. At that time, I didn't think much of spending 200 yuan on a watch. Why am I reluctant to part with it now?"
"I don't think so, it's because I didn't spend your money."
"Don't say you bought me a watch, but you're still feeling distressed now!"
However, we were just quarreling and forgot that the computer was still on for voice calls. Our two daughters were yelling angrily:
"Why are you noisy again? Mom, give the computer to my dad and let him tell me whether he wants a quartz or a mechanical one." I got up and gave the computer to my lover.
"I want a mechanical one. The price shouldn't be too high. If I don't have the money, I'll remit it to you."
"What about the dial? Do you want numbers or scales? Do you want black and white or sky gray?"
"Any number or scale will do, but the color must be black and white."
"Oh, isn't it just a watch? There are so many things to worry about!" I couldn't help but interject from the side.
"Dad, are you sure?"
"Okay, your mother is anxious to get online!"
"Don't worry, the watch box comes in two colors, one red and one black, which one do you want?"
"Any kind of watch box will do. Anyway, I only wear the watch and not the watch box." I added again.
"Mom, let's buy dad a birthday present. Of course we have to buy something that my dad likes. Can you please stop interrupting."
"Whatever color you like for the watch box, just ask for it! The phone number is your mother's. She is at home all day long, so you can pick it up when the courier comes."
The watch purchase incident was finally finalized, and my lover started browsing the news.
"Put on your headphones, I want to be quiet for a while."
"I still want to be quiet. Have you made dinner?" Yes, I was just discussing watches with my daughter. Why did I forget to make dinner?
You see, it’s really difficult to have some peace and quiet for a while! You can shut off the ears of the world, but you can’t shut off the appetite of the world! Just go ahead and cook! So, with the clashing of knives and cutting boards, the clinking of cups and plates, and the roar of the range hood, a kitchen symphony began again!
"Close the kitchen door, it's so noisy." My lover yelled, and I closed the kitchen door. Suddenly I remembered the frog that accidentally succeeded: a group of frogs held a ladder-climbing competition. The audience watched and said it was impossible. The frogs were okay at catching pests, but it was simply impossible to climb such a high ladder. So one frog gave up, two frogs gave up, and finally only one frog was left and successfully climbed to the top of the ladder!
It succeeded, and all the frogs came to congratulate it. Only then did everyone realize that this frog was deaf!
Because it couldn't hear those negative voices at all, it persevered until the end alone and achieved success!
Therefore, we must also try to close our earthly ears and prevent those negative voices from affecting our positive ambitions! When you only have your persistence in your heart and your goals in your eyes, the whole world will make way for your success!
