寧靜的心跡(51) 滿足感來自學習和進步


我們都渴望過著美好的生活。實際上,要實現這樣的生活並不難,因為我們需要的並不多。父母撫養我們,社會教育我們,已經賦予我們基本的生活能力。然而,生活是否感到滿足,取決於我們是否不斷學習和進步。

在日常生活或事業中,我們時常遇到各種困難,這說明我們的知識水平或能力還有進步的空間,也提醒我們仍有許多東西需要學習。為了讓自己生活舒適,我們需要學會如何維持身體健康,以及如何管理情緒。為了在事業上成功,我們需要學會如何創新,以及如何解決工作中遇到的問題。當我們克服了困難,就會感到自己有足夠的生存力量。

有時候,一個新奇獨特的想法,能幫助我們解決現實中的難題,甚至將逆境轉化為順境。因此,除了提升現有的能力,我們還可以探索全新的領域,讓自己更多靈感。例如學習成為小說家、哲學家、程序員等等。只要我們保持對美好生活的期望,一切皆有可能。當我們創造了一些新事物,或對某些事物有了新感受,就會感到自己有打破局限的能力。

也許一些年長的人會問:"我的年紀已經不輕了,還有必要學習新事物嗎?" 有位老人在一百歲開始學電腦,他的晚輩朋友問他:“你都快死了,為甚麼還要學電腦?"老人笑著回答:“可是我還沒死啊!” 老人的回答啟發了我們,熱愛學習不僅使人活得好,也可能使人長壽。

持續學習能夠豐富生活,有助我們保持身體健康和開放的思維,延緩智力的衰退。透過閱讀、思考和實踐,學習新技能或語言,我們的視野得以擴展,能更深刻地理解世界,讓大腦更加活躍。隨著科技的不斷進步和環境的變化,我們也需要不斷地學習新的技能和知識,以提升自己的競爭力,滿足事業上的需求,獲得更多發展機會。當思維變得更加靈活,意識到生命還有很多可能,我們就會更關注身體健康,這樣壽命就能延長。

值得強調的是,學習的最終目的是為了進步,為了不斷超越自己,成為更好的自己。在這個過程中,我們的意識會不斷擴展,更好地與生命合作,同時收獲喜悅和滿足。進步帶來的自豪感也會激勵我們繼續前行,追尋更高的目標或實現更大的理想。這種積極的態度,必然帶來更多快樂的體驗,最終讓我們感到活著真的有價值,毫無遺憾。

因此,若希望活得快樂、滿足和長久,我們就應持續學習新知識,了解新技術,跟上時代的步伐。生命具有無限的可能,但唯有保持好奇心,我們才能與時代同步,不輕易被淘汰。當我們樂於學習,不斷進步,自然會活出一個充實的人生。

The path to Tranquility (51)
Satisfaction comes from learning and progress


We all yearn for a good life. In fact, achieving such a life is not difficult because we don't need much. Our parents raised us, society educated us, and have already endowed us with basic life skills. However, whether life feels satisfying depends on whether we continue to learn and progress.

In daily life or career, we often encounter various difficulties, which indicate that our knowledge level or abilities still have room for improvement, and remind us that there are still many things we need to learn. In order to live comfortably, we need to learn how to maintain physical health and manage emotions. To succeed in our careers, we need to learn how to innovate and solve problems encountered at work. When we overcome difficulties, we will feel that we have enough survival power.

Sometimes, a novel and unique idea can help us solve real-life problems and even turn adversity into good times. Therefore, in addition to improving existing abilities, we can also explore new areas to give ourselves more inspiration. For example, learn to be a novelist, a philosopher, a programmer, etc. As long as we keep our hopes for a better life, anything is possible. When we create something new, or have new feeling about something, we feel that we have the ability to break through limitations.

Perhaps some older people will ask: "I'm not young anymore, do I still need to learn new things?" An old man started learning computers at the age of one hundred. His younger friends asked him, "You're almost dead, why are you still learning computers?" The old man laughed and replied, "But I'm not dead yet!" The old man's answer inspired us that loving learning not only makes people live well, but may also make people live longer.

Continuous learning can enrich life, help us maintain good health and open minds, and delay the decline of intelligence. By reading, thinking, and practicing, and learning new skills or languages, our horizons expand, we can understand the world more deeply, and our brains become more active. With the continuous advancement of technology and changes in the environment, we also need to constantly learn new skills and knowledge to enhance our competitiveness, meet career needs, and obtain more development opportunities. When our thinking becomes more flexible and we realize that there are many possibilities in life, we will pay more attention to physical health, so that our life span can be extended.

It is worth emphasizing that the ultimate purpose of learning is to make progress, to constantly surpass oneself and become a better self. In this process, our consciousness will continue to expand, better cooperate with the life, and gain joy and satisfaction at the same time. The pride brought by progress also motivates us to keep moving forward, pursuing higher goals or achieving greater ideals. This positive attitude will inevitably bring more happy experiences, and ultimately make us feel that life is truly valuable and without regrets.

Therefore, if we hope to live happily, satisfied, and long, we should continue to learn new knowledge, understand new technologies, and keep up with the pace of the times. Life has infinite possibilities, but only by keeping curiosity can we keep pace with the times and not be easily eliminated. When we are willing to learn and continue to progress, we will naturally live out the fulfilling life.
