2024-02-19 Update

This article was created on December 28, 2023, originally published on my own blog platform. While updating the article, I also continuously improved the blog's code. However, there were always various reasons that prompted me to give up, and in the end, I just gave up 😮‍💨.

Preface#

How to narrate the past year... Let's wish myself a happy birthday first.

Originally, I planned to write down everything that happened in 2023 in detail by looking through photos, spending records, exercise logs, and various annual reports. But when I sat down to write the first paragraph, thinking that these might be seen by others, I deleted it and rewrote it.

Main Text#

  • Drove alone on a trip
  • Removed braces
  • Had a minor surgery
  • Bought a mirrorless camera
  • Enrolled in a guitar course
  • Socializing became increasingly simple

Conclusion#

This year I saw a screenshot of a quote by Yu Hua and tried to find the source, which should be from Kazuo Inamori.

When interacting with others, it's better to say less and restrain the desire to express. Just be calm and gentle, neither insecure nor boastful. Don't endlessly talk about the past just to gain resonance. The qualities you inadvertently display are more likely to be appreciated by others than a thousand words. Think carefully, when have you not regretted after rambling on? Silence has long become a virtue.

—— Kazuo Inamori

For my future self

Extras#

  • "The Right Bank of the Erguna River"
  • "Winter Pasture"
  • "The River of Consciousness"

I also enjoyed some great films:
