In a quiet village in ancient times, there lived an old man named Zhao Bo. Uncle Zhao is just 60 years old this year, and he has experienced a lot of ups and downs in his life, witnessing the rise and fall of the village. Now, he sits on his bamboo chair, watching the sunset, and his heart can't help but feel a wave in his heart.
When Zhao Bo was young, he was a hardworking and intelligent farmer, and with his own hands, he turned a barren land into a fertile field for a good harvest. However, as the years passed, Zhao Bo's body gradually aged, and he had to leave the farm work to his juniors. However, what worries him is that the young people in the village do not seem to have inherited the diligence and wisdom of his generation, but have fallen into all kinds of confusion and difficulties.
One day, Uncle Zhao met a wanderer in a hurry at the entrance of the village. The wanderer looked to be about forty years old, but he had gray hair and a deep worry in his eyes. He asked Uncle Zhao for advice: "Uncle, I have traveled all over the world and seen countless vicissitudes of life. Now I am nearly half a hundred years old, but I feel lost in my heart. Can you tell me how to spend the rest of my life? ”
Zhao Bo smiled slightly and replied, "Young man, sit down and listen to me slowly." So, the two sat down on a stone bench at the entrance of the village, and Zhao Bo began to tell his life experience and lessons over the past 60 years.
"Although I have reached the age of sixtieth year, I still have many emotions when I look back on the past. What I want to tell you is that when a person reaches sixty, there are ten things that he must never do. Zhao Bo said slowly.
"First, don't stop learning. Only by continuing to learn can we maintain a young heart. ”
"Second, don't be overly nostalgic. The glory of the past is history, and being too nostalgic will only bog itself down. ”
"Third, don't rely too much on others. People always have to learn to be independent, and relying too much on others will only make you lose the opportunity to grow. ”
"Fourth, don't give up on your dreams. Dreams are the source of motivation in life, even if you are old, you must maintain a heart to pursue your dreams. ”
"Fifth, don't neglect your health. Health is the capital of the revolution, and without health everything is empty talk. ”
"Sixth, don't be stingy in giving. Giving roses to others has a lingering fragrance, and helping others is also helping yourself. ”
"Seventh, don't forget to be grateful. Gratitude is a virtue, and only those who know how to be grateful can win the respect of others. ”
"Eighth, don't stop exploring. The world is full of unknowns, and only by constantly exploring can we discover new possibilities. ”
"Ninth, don't dwell on the mistakes of the past. Mistakes are a stepping stone to growth, and only by facing them squarely can we avoid repeating them. ”
"Tenth, don't lose hope. Hope is the beacon of life, and only by maintaining hope can we light the way forward. ”
After hearing this, the wanderer nodded thoughtfully. He said to Uncle Zhao gratefully: "Uncle, your teachings have benefited me a lot. I will keep it in mind and work hard to put it into practice. ”
From that day on, the wanderer began to change his lifestyle. He no longer dwells on the failures and pains of the past, but faces reality positively, striving to learn new knowledge and explore new areas. He learned to be grateful and giving, using his actions to help those in need. His life gradually became full and meaningful.
And Zhao Bo is also continuing to teach his "Ten Commandments" to the young people in the village. He hopes to guide them to the right path in life through his own experience and lessons. Gradually, the young people in the village began to understand Uncle Zhao's good intentions, and they began to study diligently, work hard, and face life positively. The village has also taken on a new look, full of life and vitality.
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Uncle Zhao has been dead for many years, but his "Ten Commandments" are still being praised by the young people in the village. They remembered Zhao Bo's teachings and worked hard to practice the spirit of the "Ten Commandments". They proved Zhao Bo's wisdom and foresight with their actions.
This story tells us that it is not terrible for people to reach 60, as long as we keep a young heart, continue to learn and explore, face life positively, cherish health and hope, and know how to be grateful and giving, we can still live our own wonderful and worthy. Let us remember the lessons of Uncle Zhao's "Ten Commandments" and create a better future together.
