If you don't do some things now, you will never do them in your life

Chapter 16 Listening to Old Songs (1)
In the bus, there were strangers crowded around, and no one spoke...Suddenly, like an appointment, many people looked out the window together, as if they were thinking about something in their hearts.

In such a scene, only an old song is playing non-stop on the TV screen in the car.

When we are tired of the trivial and mediocre life of the present, we always like to miss the past time.However, the passing time has made us physically and mentally exhausted and blurred.Thus, nostalgia becomes a kind of indulgence, a kind of tremor that cannot be discarded.Therefore, those old songs in the past, especially love songs, will always easily capture the resonance in our hearts.

Old songs, full of the wind and dust of the years, have withstood the wind and frost of the world.Those familiar notes will always touch the heartstrings at an inadvertent moment, allowing people to temporarily escape from the pressure of busy work and life, and feel the pain and taste of the passage of time.

We find that we have experienced many different feelings and moods from the same melody.Old songs make people revisit how many past times in their hearts that are no longer young. When the melody sounds, the scenes and little bits of the past make people teary and full of thoughts!

For a song, some will touch you for a while, and some will affect your life; for a person who sings, some will make you forget in an instant, and some will stay with you forever.

Take a nap
"Rest is to walk a farther road", a short nap has magical power.

Sleep experts Diamant, Broughton and Dingi found that the human body tends to sleep in two stages, one at night, when the core body temperature and mood level will drop at the same time; the other occurs in the afternoon, but to a lesser extent. Ma Si, the author of the book "Active Sleep", also said that naps can effectively help people focus and make correct decisions.

An estimated half of the world's population still lives in a napping culture, pausing work in the afternoon to go home to recharge.In some Latin American and European countries, businesses close in the early afternoon for a nap.

Although nap is not the main sleep, the time is short, but its effect can not be ignored.Taking a nap not only gives the body a full rest, but also improves the function of the brain's blood supply system, enhances physical strength, eliminates fatigue, and improves work efficiency in the afternoon.At the same time, taking a nap also has the effect of enhancing the body's protective function.Some data show that taking a nap can also greatly reduce the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage.

Naps can help you relax and reduce stress.So, if possible, you can also change your living habits and find time to take a nap at noon every day.

There are also many things to pay attention to when taking a good nap.

1 It is best to develop the habit of taking a nap every day at regular intervals.The best time to take a nap is 8 hours after waking up in the morning and 8 hours before going to bed at night, which is the middle of the day's activity time.Even if you don't feel sleepy at that time, you can take a break instead of drinking coffee as a refreshing soup.

2 A healthy nap of 15 to 30 minutes is most appropriate. If it exceeds 30 minutes, the body will enter a deep sleep period that is not easy to wake up. It will be very uncomfortable when you wake up, and it is easy to disrupt the biological clock and affect your sleep at night.

3. An ideal nap should be lying on your back or on your side, not prone, and it is best not to take a nap at your desk or sit and take a nap.Siestas at desks and sitting naps can easily cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, causing dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, tinnitus and discomfort, etc. After a long time, it can also cause spinal deformation and lumbar muscle strain.

4 With one exception, avoid daytime naps if you have insomnia problems.

chat with an old man

This old man can be your relatives, grandpa, grandma, or your uncle who often sits alone under the tree downstairs.

Most of the old people are kind and approachable, so don't be afraid and reserved, approach them with a smile and let them feel your kindness.

Everyone will grow old, the traces of decades, what exactly is imprinted in their hearts?You can chat with them about the sufferings and joys of the past, which ones they can immerse themselves in, and which life experiences are important spiritual pillars that support their lives.But pay attention to choosing topics that the elderly like, such as hometown, relatives, events when they were young, TV programs, etc., and avoid mentioning topics that the elderly do not like, such as deceased relatives, etc.

You can talk about yourself first, let the old man trust you, and then start other topics.

Some people say that when a person gets old, his personality will become like a child's, and he likes to praise and praise. Therefore, you should praise the elderly sincerely and generously.In case there is something unpleasant to talk about and you find that the old man's mood has changed, stop the topic and pat the other person's hand or shoulder with your hand to stabilize the old man's mood.

Some old people are more nagging, and they can talk for a long time about a little thing. At this time, don't be impatient, but listen to the old people patiently.

If the old man is hard of hearing, try not to let him talk to you at a distance, and try to talk to the old man as close as possible, so that the old man will feel that you value him.

When talking with an elderly person, look into the other person's eyes, don't wander in the eyes, speak slowly and in a moderate tone.

If you talk to your grandfather, you can ask him: What was China like a few decades ago?After entering the 80s, what is the situation in the countryside?Are the years of eating big pot meals difficult?And what fun stories did your mother have when she was young?

If you are talking to an old man in a nursing home, you can ask the old man: Where did he live when he was young?How many children and grandchildren does he have?where do they live nowWhat is the thing he is most proud of in his life?What is the biggest disappointment?Is there anything he regrets?How does he feel about recent current events?
You can also discuss with the elderly about topics that both of you are interested in.But be careful, if you disagree, listen more to the other side's point of view and don't argue violently.

To... Go to the airport and pass the time of indecision Have you ever watched the plane take off and land while waiting at the airport?
Whenever I encounter something indecisive, or when life enters into a difficult choice, I like to go to the airport by car, stay there for an hour, have a look, and go around.

Looking at the people passing by at the airport, they are pushing their luggage, some with smiles on their faces, and some are exhausted.

There are also people who are waiting to pick up people at the airport. They look forward to it. People who walk out of the airport hug, kiss, shake hands with them, and smile at each other... There are also people who carry their backs alone. Packing his bags, he walked through the group of people and walked out to the city alone.

At an airport, everyone has a place to go, and everyone knows exactly where they came from.

I like to stand in a place where there are no people and watch the planes take off and land.

When the plane took off, it was so firm and without hesitation.

The plane that landed was full of confidence, elegance and calmness.

Sometimes, when people do things, they really should learn from airplanes!

donate blood once a year
Blood transfusion is a medical method often used in modern medicine, and countless patients have recovered after receiving fresh blood.However, human beings have not developed artificial blood that can be used for medical treatment. Every patient who is cured depends on the blood of others.

In order to save more patients from blood transfusion, people have established a complete blood bank in case of emergency.

These reserves of plasma come from thousands of voluntary blood donors.

If you are healthy, donate blood once a year.

Participating in formal blood donation will basically not affect the health of the body, and it will discharge toxins in the blood, stimulate the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, and make the body's metabolism more vigorous.

There are many people who will be helped because of your generosity.Your blood may save a wounded life. Donating blood is like letting a certain part of yourself become a part of others forever. When the blood you donate continues and saves the life of others, it is also a kind of spiritual comfort for you. It will also bring you a sense of satisfaction.

In addition, when voluntary blood donors themselves or their immediate family members need blood due to illness, blood can be used free of charge accordingly.If one day you need a blood transfusion, you may benefit from your previous decisions.

Blood donation should not be too frequent, once a year is enough.Invest in your health, for others, and for yourself.

Precautions for donating blood:
1 Before donating blood, understand the common sense of blood donation and eliminate nervousness.

2 Pay attention to rest before donating blood and ensure adequate sleep.

3 Eat some light food before donating blood, don't eat greasy food, don't donate blood on an empty stomach.

4 Do not drink a lot of water before donating blood, because drinking a lot of water will dilute the blood and reduce the blood quality, thus affecting the treatment of patients.

5 Before donating blood, fill in the personal information and health questionnaire carefully and truthfully.

6. Do not participate in strenuous exercise or all-night entertainment on the day after blood donation.

Graffiti
The term "graffiti" was originally used by Lu Tong in the Tang Dynasty to say that his son was naughty in scribbling. The allusion comes from "Yuchuan Ziji."Cloud Timing":
Lu Tong has a son named Tian Ding who likes to scribble and scribble, and often makes Lu Tong's books dirty and messy.Lu Tong wrote a poem because of this: "Suddenly turn over the ink on the case, smearing poems and books like an old crow." The son's naughtiness and his own helplessness are vividly described.

People derived the word "graffiti" from Lu Tong's poems, which has been passed down to this day.

The later "graffiti art" originated in the Bronx District of New York.A group of rebellious non-gang painters realized that the wall is the cheapest and most practical canvas in the world, and they started a new kind of artistic creation - "graffiti" (Graffiti).

Graffiti artists are people with a great desire to express themselves. They are unpaid and willing to haunt the dark nights of New York all year round, just to let passers-by take a look at their works.

Soon enough, graffiti artists were no longer satisfied with a static wall, and they came up with the idea of ​​a subway car.

New York has the most developed subway system in the world, with tracks running throughout the city like streets.

New York residents on their morning commutes are often surprised to find that a subway car that was fine last night has suddenly become a mobile graffiti exhibition, covered in colorful patterns.The most amazing thing is that after changing the car, it still has the same pattern!

Now, graffiti has become the most common form of painting. People can even use computers to graffiti, and some people have set up graffiti websites, where everyone publishes their works to discuss and exchange ideas.

Take the train and travel.

I have traveled many places by train. After using various means of transportation, the favorite is still the train.

I love listening to the rumble of the wheels on the rails as the train moves.

I like to find a comfortable seat by the window after getting on the train and feel the train start slowly and drive out of the train station.

Sitting on the train, watching the scenery outside the window calmly and scene by scene, if I listen to the earphones and look out the window, I will think of many, many past events.
