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

Chapter 3 From now on, complete the half-finished work (2)
To get more natural light, you have to let yourself have enough opportunities to be exposed to the sun every week. Walk in the morning sun, breathe deeply in the sun, and imagine that there is a force above your head that slowly lifts your body. Pull your body up.Mother's hand, have you ever held it?

Someone asked such a question on the Internet: "Mother's hand, have you ever held it?"

I believe this sentence has shocked many people, and this shock may far exceed "Do you know my mother's birthday?".

In a busy life, perhaps many things that should be remembered are often ignored or forgotten by us.Especially, when we grow up and are busy all day long, who will look carefully at the hands that once nurtured us?Who seriously shakes those calloused hands?
Go hold the hand of someone special today!
After growing up, you have experienced restlessness, pessimism and disappointment, and self-deprecation. If you can go home, please go and shake your mother's weather-beaten hand. Mother's hand can bring you the greatest comfort.Holding your mother's hand is the most direct way to express your love for her.

Holding the hand of someone special doesn't have to be just your mother, it could be your grandmother, your favorite uncle, your lover, your best friend, your husband, your wife or your child.When you touch someone genuinely and tenderly, it shows your love and concern for them and confirms that they feel similarly towards you.This can make you appear more relaxed and approachable to them, while thinning out the armor of self-defense you wear that separates you from other people.

Holding hands draws the two of you together in a simple and subtle way.You are in this together.From now on, do some exploration and research on areas you don't know.

Have you ever thought about living a little differently?Then please be sure to maintain a curious and knowledge-seeking heart.

Exploring and researching fields you don't understand is the only secret to maintaining youth.

This field of research and exploration, it doesn't have to be something important, or something you need to know.It can just be a question you've been wondering about, and you've never taken the time to research it.

For example, if you want to know about the migration of a migratory bird, you can read some books or articles about ornithology, or go to its habitat to observe their activities.You can also go to the library, or seek out experts in this field, call or write to them.

Perhaps unconsciously, you may also become an expert in a certain field.After a period of hard work, or finding some observations, proofs, and data that contradict the currently accepted explanations, you have made a basic contribution to this field.

Motivations that motivate you to want to expand your knowledge in a certain area can also be some special personal circumstances.For example, a friend needs heart surgery, and you want him to know that there is nothing to be nervous about and worry about. You call some people, ask some questions, find out all the information you can find, and put the Isn't it meaningful that your research tells him that the knowledge you have in this area will allow him to easily face the operation and tide over the difficulties?

Attend a lecture on a topic that interests you.

Go to a lecture in a field in which you don't know much, whether the subject is politics, literature, art, or religion, preferably from someone who is considered an expert in the field, or a popular speaker.

You can take a notebook to take notes and remember some key points.

Remember to listen with an open mind.

How did he speak?Is it convincing?How did this speech arouse you?

Usually, in addition to talking about issues in their own field, many speakers will also talk about topics related to life more or less.Maybe that sentence will help you.

Finally, before the end of the speech, there is usually an interactive Q&A between the speaker and the audience. At this time, don’t hesitate to raise your hand and have a talk with him. This trip is really worth it!4 history books worth reading:
