I don't know where this sentence comes from, it seems to be red on the network, anyway, in recent times I often see. I didn't think about it when I first saw it, but after reading more, it caused me to think y: my body and soul, are you on the road?
My mother is an elementary school teacher, since I was a child I grew up in the school, with my mother's colleagues to mix very familiar, they have something to do with me like to take me on, tease me, for example, they picked up the school's official seal to my clothes, said that from now on I belong to this school, ha ...... caused my mother to wash for a long time clothing On the red seal mud are not washed off, until the clothes wear bad, still vaguely visible that round seal print; and then, for example, once, next to the village there is a husband and wife quarrelling, the wife jumped into the river in a fit of anger, the whole village of the strong laborers fished three days, and finally fished out, a young female teacher wanted to go to see the fun, but was too timid to go alone, called the other teachers accompanied, but call this is not willing to go, called the That do not want to go, said they are afraid of nightmares, see me, eyes light up, even with the coaxing and deception to take me to go, my mother can not stop, have seen the dead back, I pulled the stomach for a whole month, what medicine have eaten, what prescription have tried, and later or my grandmother behind my mother's back so that my aunt to go to find an old Taoist, from the old Taoist brought back half a bowl of water and drink it to be good, it is said to be hit by evil. They did more things is like to let me recognize words, randomly take a book, open a page, said: test you, what is this word? How do you read this word? What does this word mean? How do you form words with this word? How do you make a sentence out of this word? Unconsciously, under the constant "test" of these teachers, I knew more and more words, and it was no big deal to read some little books and comic books. More importantly, I learned pinyin from the teachers, and with a small dictionary, I could read any word. Then grow up some, go to school, sometimes the school held a student assembly, need to speak on behalf of the students, the teacher wrote a good script, let me go to the stage to read, because I recognize the word ah, other children do not know so much, they only stood under the stage of envy and jealous of the share.
I remember when I was in fourth grade, one weekend, my mom and dad took my brother out to do something, leaving me alone at home. I played with other children in the playground for half a day, very happy, and then, the children were called home by their parents. I had to go home, too. After a few rounds, I felt particularly bored (at that time, TV was not yet popular in common people's homes), and finally I stared at the row of books above the window frame. I brought a small bench, climbed onto the table, stood on the table and looked through the books one by one, and finally picked out a thick book without a cover, the first dozen or so pages had been torn out, the pages were yellowed, well, I knew most of the words, and the story was told, so I took it down, climbed down from the table, sat down on the small bench, and began to look at it. Unconsciously, half a day was spent reading the book ...... Then I took the book to my room and put it under the mattress, sneaking it out to read it whenever I had a chance.The book was so thick that it took me some time to finish it. The book was so thick that it took me some time to finish it. But until I finished it, I didn't know what the name of the book was. Later, when I was in high school, I found the same book in the school library. It was one of Feng Deying's "Three Flowers," Spring Flowers, and the other two were Camellia Flowers and Bitter Cabbage Flowers. That was the first big book I ever read, and the first novel I ever read. Until now, the images of the main characters in the story and the storyline can still be clearly visualized in my mind, and they have been fixed in the depths of my soul. Later, wherever I went, I looked for books to read, and I read every book I could find. I even once read a book while cooking rice, and I didn't even know that the rice was burning until my aunt smelled it and came over to turn off the fire, telling me that my soul had been seduced by the book. I read the then-popular "Boiling Mountains", "Shanghai Morning", "Three Visits to the Red Fish Cave", and so on. One of my little friends also secretly showed me a banned book at the time - "the second handshake", her brother's, it was winter, she quietly stuffed in a wide cotton coat before bringing out, and I can only look at three days will have to hurry back.
In my second year, my language teacher talked about Paul Kochakin's story and gave us the opportunity to learn more about him. Kochakin's story, recited to us Paul's famous words: the most precious thing is life. Life is given to us only once. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret his wasted years, nor will he be ashamed of his inactivity. So that when he is dying he can say, "I have devoted my whole life and all my energies to the most magnificent cause - the struggle for the liberation of mankind." My teacher said the book was "How Steel is Made" by Ostrovsky and asked us to find it. I was very interested and looked everywhere, but I couldn't find it. Then I found two books on the shelves of the supply house, and the salesman said they cost one dollar and twenty cents a copy, but in my pocket I only had the pocket money my mother had given me for fear of starvation, ten cents (which could buy two meat buns). I considered for a long time, and gathered the courage to talk to my mom about this matter. My mom asked me if my language teacher had recommended it, so she gave me the money without hesitation. The next afternoon, as soon as school was over, I went straight to the store. My God, it was so close, there was only one book left, and the other one had already been bought by someone else. I carefully took the book handed over by the salesman, gently rubbed the smooth and thick cover, went home and found calendar paper, carefully wrapped the cover, gently and quietly turned the first page ...... to know that mom was working as a private teacher at the time the salary was five dollars a month! This is my personal possession of the first novel, I cherish, after reading several times, the book is still like new.
When I was in high school, I read more and more books, and my comprehension was stronger, and I was able to imitate the writing myself. From middle school onwards, every one of my weekly notes and essays were taken by the homeroom language teacher as a model to read in the class. In addition to reading the model essays, my high school teacher also sent our essays out for submission. I remember that it was a snowy day, one of my essays won the lottery, the language teacher happily sent the dollar to me. I held the dollar in my hands with excitement and looked at the envious gazes from my classmates, my heart was overjoyed. That was the first fee in my life! On the weekend, when I went home, I used twenty cents to buy twenty candies in the small store in front of the school, and distributed them to my grandmother, aunt, mother, father, brothers and sisters. We all eat candy in our mouths, talk and laugh, sweet in our hearts, and share my happiness together.
In college, it's a wide world, and I can't move from one day to the next to read books in the library. After work, there is not so much free time, but I still give myself a year to see the amount of 60 books. The complicated society did not let me mess up, did not let me become impatient, the essence of the book soothed my heart. In my world, there is a golden house in the book, there is a thousand clocks in the book, there is a Yan Ruyu in the book....... Some people say that I live in deep simplicity. I meditate on books, let myself wander in its joy endless sea of books, meditate and think ...... Reading makes me completely quiet to feel the society and even the whole world properly. I like the words of San Mao said: "Read more, the face naturally change, many times, they may think that many books they have read have become a passing cloud, no longer remember, in fact, they are still the potential temperament, in the talk, in the chest of the endless, of course, may also be revealed in the life and words." I also often pick up the pen, write the deepest thoughts of the soul I want to express, so that the ideas and readers to communicate, but also let the manuscript fee to subsidize the family, huh?

I decided to give it a try because I grew up as a person who only loved reading and not sports, and gym class, has always been my fear. Once upon a time, my body was dry and thin, like a "reed stick", and a real "yellow hair girl", hair yellow, dry, grabbed in the hand, like grabbing a handful of autumn in the long time no rain moisturizing the withered branches of the grass. Later married and gave birth to a child, but the body expanded like a balloon, the fattest time reached 150 pounds, half a year no see the front of the colleagues do not recognize me. Physical quality is also like a child sitting on a slide as fast as the decline, casually moving on the panting. I realized that I can not go on like this, I chose a variety of forms of exercise to make myself healthy. I was never athletic as a child, and it took me a long time to learn how to jump rope, and I was not dexterous with my hands and feet. To exaggerate a little, when I danced behind others, I often moved my feet when others moved their hands, and my right hand when others stretched out their left hand, so I had a poor sense of motor coordination! But I have sound limbs, I can always walk and run! I chose to walk, chose to run.
Every day at 6 o'clock, I get up on time, to the school playground, at the beginning of the run can not, straight gasping for breath, feel that I am dying, and then slowly, slowly, can run, 1000 meters, 2000 meters, and then later on every day to run 3,000 meters or even more, my feeling is getting better and better, but also more and more feel that I run easy to float. When it rains, I run at home, sometimes in place, on the carpet in the living room, and enjoy my favorite TV programs; sometimes I run from the dining room into the living room, turn around and come out, and then run into the bedroom, the study, and turn around again and again, and more and more I love my own home with clean windows and full of love. On weekends, I go to the neighborhood park to run, uphill, downhill, a kind of cross-country feeling, but also able to see a lot of interesting people and interesting things.
I love this quote: "Don't show off your money, it's just scrap paper when you're dead; don't show off your work, you're gone, countless people will do better than you; don't show off your house, you're gone, it's someone else's nest; don't show off your car, you're gone, the keys are in someone else's hand! What you can show off is your health, when everyone else is gone, you can still bask in the sun, drink tea and enjoy a healthy and happy life. We have to treat ourselves well, because the parts are not well matched and thieves are expensive! Have money not necessarily have goods!"
Indeed ah, think of yourself, running after both from the body to the mind have undergone great changes. First of all, the physical quality of the body has been significantly optimized, no longer sick leave, the arrival of the flu looked at others in the trick I will no longer catch that fashion, and colleagues to go hiking, I am no longer the one who pulled down the speed of everyone, physical examination when the doctor said that the kidney stones disappeared, gallbladder polyps are gone, the old classmates will meet and exclaimed: "Slimmer a lot of! It's been a while, did you go for plastic surgery and liposuction? ...... college reunion I was the first to be recognized by everyone, saying that so many years have not changed (they do not know, in fact, I was changed back). Secondly, self-control has also been strengthened, and the character has changed, I became confident, no longer hide behind others for fear of others to pay attention to themselves, and become talkative and smiley. I took good care of my home, my family finances were well organized, my home furnishings were neatly arranged, my windows were clean, my flowers bloomed, my leaves were green, and my kitchen often smelled appetizing. Work, I do things more actively, the assigned tasks are always the first time to complete, within and outside the part of the things can do, colleagues' request for help is no longer refused, the General Assembly will also be happy to share their own insights, and even read the book also discussed with everyone.
Run up. Running and non-running people, in the daily view of no difference; in the monthly view of the difference is also minimal; in the annual view of the gap is obvious, but it seems to be no big deal; but in every 5 years to see the time, that is the physical and mental state of the great divide. When you look at it 10 years later, it may be an unattainable gap between one life and another. Busy again, but also to run.
Exercise. The inner restlessness is easy to make us lose ourselves, and sports can let us completely put down the burden to enjoy the sweat of the comfort, enjoy let others envy have a good body, good body pleasure.
The body in the movement, all the way to see the natural and humanistic scenery; the soul because of reading, always enjoy the pleasure and joy of the sea of books. For the health of the body, for the soul noble, either sports, or reading, there must be one on the road. And I, body and soul at the same time in the happy journey forward.
