Chapter 32 be an optimistic person
Whenever I find myself feeling down about my current situation, for an hour, I can put all my troubles away and become a happy optimist.Here's how I do it.
I walked into the study, closed my eyes, walked to the bookshelf dedicated to history books, and reached out to take out a book.I don't care whether I got "The Conquest of Mexico" written by Prescott or "The Life of Caesar" written by Stoney, I still closed my eyes, flipped through a page casually, then opened my eyes, and seriously Read for an hour.The more books I read, the more I realize the suffering in this world, and I deeply feel that human civilization is on the verge of rupture.History is always full of tragedies: wars, famines, poverty, plagues, cruelty... After an hour of history reading, I often get an epiphany: the situation is so bad now, it is actually much better than before.This belief enables me to face up to the predicament I encounter, and deeply understand that the world is constantly improving and developing in a better direction.
The above method deserves an entire chapter.Read history, and try to stretch your eyes a thousand years away—you will see how insignificant your troubles are from the perspective of eternity.
