What kind of old man do you want to be?

This evening, I went to a concert organized by a cello learning institution, and met a lot of people who like music performing various instruments on the stage: piano, guitar, cello, violin, guzheng... Most of them are like me, who have already graduated, and stick to learning a little bit of hobbies every day in the spare time of their boring work.

My friend once asked me: why do you still want to learn a musical instrument now? Every night and weekend that free time has to be used to practice the piano, no time to watch TV shows, and even no time to participate in a variety of parties to relax. Why do you have to work so hard when your job is already so tiring? And you're so old, what can you use it for even if you learn it?

My answer was: I don't want to dance when I get old. I hope I can play the guzheng and cello when I get old. I hope that even if I become an old lady one day, I will still be an old lady with temperament. (But here I am not saying that square dancing has no temperament, and I don't mean to disparage square dancing. It's just that this kind of entertainment is not very suitable for me, I want to find a favorite activity)

Since I was a child, I have been a person who likes to think nonsense. I don't know why, but I especially like to set all kinds of life plans and goals for myself. Regardless of whether or not they can all be realized, every year will persistently set a few goals for themselves to come.

I often think about what kind of old man I'm going to be if I grow old. Until one day, I saw a video: a gray-haired grandmother sitting in front of the piano, her fingers slowly played the famous "Liang Zhu". At that time, I felt so touched, and I saw the light emanating from an old man, which other people who had been baptized by the years did not have. So, I made up my mind that when I grow old, I want to be an old person with temperament like her.

If there is anything that I can leave for myself now, I think it is these spiritual things, and these are priceless because it will be with me for the rest of my life. In my disillusioned times, music can give me encouragement. When I am happy, music can share my joy. It will be a good friend that will accompany me for the rest of my life, and that is the best gift that young me can give to myself.

In this world, we are going to play a lot of roles: children, parents, friends, staff, bosses ...... There is a lot of helplessness and hardship in life, and all people have their not easy. I hope that under this helplessness, there is a piece of their own spiritual world. I hope I can be a little idealized pursuit, even unrealistic is no harm, I just wish whenever not become numb and rigid.

I want to be an old man who is not quite the same as others, don't you?
