Today, I saw a micro-headline posted by a seventy-five-year-old painter, who described his beautiful life in his second marriage in just a few paragraphs.
His current wife, who is 20 years younger than him, used to be a financial accountant in the unit and has retired. Now not only does he have a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan for rehiring, but he can also earn a monthly pension of 5,000 yuan. He himself is a national painter and calligrapher, with a monthly pension of more than 20,000 yuan.
He and his wife's three views are particularly consistent, he believes that the way of husband and wife is to tolerate each other, magnify each other's advantages, and minimize each other's shortcomings, so the two get along very well.
In terms of diet, they are mainly light, and occasionally buy some seafood to supplement nutrition. Basically, I don't party, I don't make friends with alcohol and meat.
In addition to the busy work of three meals a day, the two of them are dancing, singing, climbing, writing, painting and exercising. The days are very stable and moisturizing.
He also joked that he was his wife's "free babysitter". Since he was a child, he likes to do housework, brush pots and dishes, laundry and cook is a joy in life for him. He firmly believed that labor would make his body stronger and healthier, so he felt that his physical fitness was no worse than that of a man in his thirties and forties.
The law he set for himself is: a man must succeed when he comes to this world, and if he does not succeed, he will be a man in vain!
I have to admit that such a life in old age is particularly beautiful and happy, not only has a successful career, eats and drinks without worry, but also has a beautiful wife to accompany me. What more could you ask for at this point in life?
When netizens in the comment section asked him what the definition and criteria of success were, he replied like this.
He said: Although the definition of success is different for everyone, his own success may be out of reach for many people.
His own success is: he has worked hard all his life, and the lowest position is the department level. Not counting the property of the house and car, the deposit is at least 10 million, and these are obtained by real ability.
But his answer attracted dissatisfaction and angry comments from many netizens.
This netizen thinks: "If you don't succeed, you'll be a man in vain!" This definition is too arbitrary, and the word success has diversity. Even if someone succeeds as a village cadre, someone can fail at the department level. Some people regard the pursuit of food and clothing as success, and some people are still not satisfied, so the criteria and understanding of success are not the same.
These two netizens believe that success is not about how much money you have. Although he has been a farmer for generations, he has also cultivated the pillars of the country, and although his later years are dull, he is also in good health. This is also a kind of success.
The seventy-nine-year-old netizen saw it through, and he said that being young at this age is just an appearance, and people can't forget the laws of nature. Taoguang and refining wisdom is the right way.
Some netizens hope that the old man can keep a low profile, and whether a person is successful or not, he cannot be used as a capital to show off.
This netizen's words are even sharper, and he summed up that the old man's so-called success is two words: money and power.
More netizens still hope that the old man can be steady, steady, and steady!
It is not difficult to see from the comments of these netizens that they all think that this old painter is too utilitarian and conceited.
Although he achieved his goals through hard work and talent, his ostentatious and vanity were off-putting.
The meaning of success varies from person to person, so it cannot be measured by a uniform standard.
For the farmers at the bottom, cultivate abundant crops, take good care of their wives and children, and cultivate sensible and filial children. Improve the quality of life and contribute to society. That's a success.
And as a painter, I personally feel that his success should be: to be able to convey emotions and thoughts through his works, touch the hearts of the audience, and achieve respect and a certain status in the field of art.
Therefore, success is not about one's position or material wealth, but for some people, enjoying the warmth of family, cultivating good interpersonal relationships, or achieving personal inner growth is also a kind of success. Do you think so?
