Now I think that a successful life is not about achieving some ambitious or realistic goals you set up, such as establishing a company, how much money you earn, having a good family, having an enviable job, making others respect and recognize you, such as Two days ago, I chatted with a parent who shared many educational ideas with me. She said she hoped that in the future, her daughter could decide what she wanted to learn, what she wanted to do and what kind of person she wanted to be, instead of doing it according to the wishes of parents or others. So I talked about Montessori's educational idea, saying that the real greatness of this idea is to let every different child grow up freely as they should. I gave an example. For example, if the child is a radish seed, he should strive to grow freely into the best radish he can grow. If the child is a vegetable seed, he should grow into the best vegetable he can grow! Remember, it's not the best radish and vegetable, but the best radish and vegetable he can grow. He doesn't need to make the best radish and vegetable in the world. He just needs to realize himself perfectly, and he doesn't have to compare with others! Instead, no matter whether he is a radish seed or a vegetable seed, he must grow into a shape, and he must grow into a tomato! Due to the influence of growth environment, culture and history, we blindly pursue some ready-made goals that seem to have been established in a distant place: work, money, house, family, circle of friends, status, reputation... In order to achieve that or distant or superior goal, we do not hesitate to sacrifice our happiness, sacrifice our hearts, and even sacrifice some human nature. Who is listening to the call of his heart? Who knows what his heart desires? We need to grow as we wish, not as others wish. We need to do what our hearts desire, not what others think you desire. To put it simply, do something that makes you happy. I think of Ice Prince Raikkonen, the idol in F1 racing. The year before last or last year, he resolutely gave up the eye-catching F1 race at its peak, resolutely left the fans who loved him, and chose to participate in that low-level car race. Many car fans feel extremely regretful, but Raikkonen's face is no longer cold as Prince ice used to, but full of a sunny smile. He said: why should I live as you think? Every child and every adult should ask themselves this sentence. Live yourself, not what others think you should do. Listen to your inner call, find what your heart desires, and then try to live as you should have been. If you are a cabbage, make yourself the best cabbage you can be. Only in this way can you be happy, be yourself, and be successful in life. So if you don't understand, I'll be wordy again. If you are a cabbage, but grow into the best radish in the world as people expect you to, your life will not be a successful life. Just like those people who are eager to be transgender, a boy who thinks he is a girl, or a boy who is eager to be a girl, even if he is the most successful man, such as the president of the United States, or the most successful husband, his heart will not feel really happy. Therefore, whether your life is successful or not is not up to others' the final say, but your own the final say. Your heart is your master!!! After many years, I finally came back to the Indian philosopher's words that I admire very much. The farthest journey is to stay in place.
