One shouldn't be too obedient.

   In life, you can't be too obedient or too accommodating to others. You can refuse to do things you don't want to do; don't force yourself to do things you can't do; don't force yourself to do things you can't do. Your life isn't for pleasing others; you must learn to treat yourself well. If you

  don't like what you hear, you can pretend you didn't hear it, or let it go in one ear and out the other; don't take it too seriously. Don't try to please people who don't like you; our enthusiasm shouldn't be given to indifference. Don't make things too difficult for yourself with work you don't want to do; you'll be unhappy and exhausted. Also, don't accept kindness from people you don't love; learn to refuse to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

  In life, you can't be too obedient; you must have your own opinions and your own way of living.

  Understand that life is your own; you must have your own opinions and your own way of living. You can't believe everything others say or do everything they ask of you; otherwise, you will lose yourself.

  When we were little, our parents told us to be good and obedient, and we did. As we grow up, we develop our own thoughts and ways of life. Of course, we still need to be obedient and compliant, but not too much. After all, we have to walk our own paths and decide how to walk them.

  If someone cares about you, whether they're criticizing you or offering advice, we should listen attentively and be obedient, avoiding direct confrontation. This is a sign of respect and good manners. Whether their advice is useful is for you to discern, and you should extract the useful suggestions.

  Life is your own, and others will inevitably offer their opinions. Don't take it too seriously; it's normal. We need to learn to adapt and take it easy. As long as you have your own ideas, direction, and way of life, that's enough. We can be obedient and compliant, but we must have our own opinions and live the way we like.

  As a person, you can't be too obedient. You should refuse what you should refuse and not wrong yourself.

  In real life, some people are too soft-hearted and too obedient. No matter what others ask of them, they don't know how to refuse, resulting in them being wronged and criticized by others. Honestly, being too obedient and unable to refuse is not a good thing; it only leads to suffering and self-inflicted grievances.

  As a person, you can't be too obedient. You must refuse what you should refuse, and not wrong yourself. Don't agree to things beyond your capabilities; refuse decisively. Don't be afraid to refuse unreasonable requests; refuse firmly, don't be embarrassed. If you're embarrassed to refuse others, you'll only end up hurting and suffering yourself.

  Refusing what you should refuse is being responsible to yourself and others. Being too obedient and unable to refuse often leads to more and bigger problems. In the end, things aren't done well, others blame you, and you're left with a belly full of grievances and anger, not knowing where to vent them.

  To live well, you must be obedient, but with principles and standards; you can't be too obedient. You must be clear in your mind about what you can and cannot agree to, so that you don't end up complaining about being wronged. If you had known how to refuse in the first place, you wouldn't be in this situation today.

  To be a good person, you should be obedient, but not too obedient. Being too obedient makes it easy to lose yourself, to compromise your own well-being, and to live a miserable and exhausting life.

  In life, you should refuse what you should refuse, and don't force yourself to do what you don't like. You must have your own opinions and live your own way!

  May you keep a beautiful heart and a sunny disposition!

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

Five-degree slanted characters (Part 2)

    Chi Zhoumu played three games of League of Legends in a row. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out, he had to shift his focus to prevent himself from being trapped by his chaotic thoughts. After the three games, Chi Zhoumu stared at the computer for a long time, lost in thought. "No, I have to go out for a walk and relax," Chi Zhoumu thought to himself.      When Chi Zhoumu went out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streetlights emitted a quiet, dim yellow light, and only a few people were running on the playground. The moonlight was faint, casting overlapping shadows, and the road was deserted. He went to the pavilion, sat down on a bench, and lazily admired the reflection of the library lights on the lake. Two or three couples were scattered on the small island in the lake. "It's hard to find such peace and harmony in the bustling city," he thought.      After sitting for about twenty minutes, just as he was ...

Looking up at the starry sky

     The night is deep, and I can't fall asleep alone. I open the window and see the twinkling stars, but are you the brightest one?     I remember the first time I saw you was in my final year of junior high. I stood nervously behind you, watching my classmates register one by one, and my name was left unassigned. Yes. I was timid and cowardly, and because I didn't have the money for tuition, I didn't dare to speak to you. I just stood there, standing there.     Later, you noticed me, smiled slightly, and asked, "Have you registered?" I shook my head. You asked again, "Are you having trouble?" I nodded. "Come with me!" When I took out my blankets from a corner of the school, I saw tears in your eyes; and I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. You took the blankets, took my hand, and walked towards the dormitory building.     I've always thought of myself as a stubborn child, someone no one could melt the thick ice in my hea...
