In this world, everyone is pursuing different goals and dreams. Some people are eager for fame and fortune, some people yearn for hegemony for thousands of years, and some people pursue eternal success. However, Mingyue reminded us in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that there is one thing that is more important than these grand goals - that is, to spend this life in the way you like.
When we look back at history, we will find that many great men have pursued their own ideals and goals. They may strive for the prosperity of the country, for the dignity of the nation, or for the progress of mankind. Their deeds have been praised by future generations and have become eternal legends. However, deep down in the hearts of these great men, they also longed to be able to live this life the way they liked.
For example, the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who pursued wisdom and truth all his life, and whose famous quote "Know thyself" is still celebrated by the world. However, in the last moments of his life, he chose to drink poison in order to defend his faith and dignity. It was a choice he made to spend this life in his own way.
Another example is Leonardo da Vinci in the Renaissance, who was a brilliant artist, scientist and inventor. His works "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper" have become classics in the history of world art. However, throughout his life, he also pursued his love of science and art, which he lived in his own way.
There are many other examples of the same, such as Newton, Einstein, Shakespeare, and many more. They are all great people, but their success is not just about their achievements, but also because they choose to live this life the way they love.
Therefore, when we pursue a hundred years of fame, a thousand years of hegemony and eternal success, we should not forget the most important point: to spend this life in the way you like. It is only when we pursue what we love that we can truly find inner fulfillment and happiness.
