You may be wondering what this picture is trying to show.
This is actually a sand castle built by my niece.
As we initially only planned to have lunch at the beach, we didn’t bring the right tools.
She used her little hands, a small stick and a lot of imagination to build this sand castle.
Yes, it is not as grand or beautiful as many people would expect to see.
But for me, this is the most beautiful sand castle, and it also brings along a life lesson.
Often as adults, we educate the children centered on the expectations of others and the society. We often feel that we are right and they must learn from us.
However on the contrary, have we ever thought about what we can learn from them?
When we try to see things through the eyes of the children, their world is simple, pure, and full of imagination.
They will not be tied to the expectations of others like us the adults.
With the promotion of social media such as Instagram and Tiktok, more and more people are bound by trends set by a few people.
In order to meet the expectations of others and the society, people start to compete in endless pursuits. Some people even act dangerously in order to impress their followers.
It’s time to slow down, listen to your inner voice, and ask yourself: Will all this bring us real happiness? I don’t know about you, but my heart tells me they won’t.
Watching my niece playing on the beach reminds me of the innocent happy time when I was a kid.
In fact, happiness cannot be found in material possessions or from other people’s expectations. Happiness comes from the fun from doing something you enjoy, and it also comes from the company of the loved one.
It doesn’t matter whether it is the largest and most beautiful sand castle in the eyes of others. The important thing is to be able to do what we enjoy and with the people we value. That is simple joy.
We don’t need to find happiness, because they are all around us. The Way is simplicity, as long as you enjoy the simple things in life, happiness is easy.

你们可能想知道这张图片试图展示什么。
这其实上是我侄女建造的沙堡。
因为我们最初只计划在海边吃午饭，所以没带合适的工具。
她只是用了她那双小手、一根小棍子和很多想象力建造了这个沙堡。
是的，它并不像许多人所期望看到的那样宏伟或漂亮。
但对我而言，这是最美丽的沙堡，它也带来了我人生的一堂课。
往往成年人都以他人与社会的期望作为中心来教育孩子们，只觉的我们是对的，他们要好好的向我们学习。可是反之我们有没有想过我们能从他们身上学到什么呢？
当我们试着以孩子们的眼光看待事物时，他们的世界是简单的、纯洁的、充满想象力的。
他们不会像我们成年人被束缚在他人的期望中。
随着 Instagram 和 Tiktok 等社交媒体的推动，越来越多的人被少数人设定的趋势所束缚。
为了满足他人与社会的期望人们也在无休止的追求中开始竞争。有些人甚至为了给他们的追随者留下深刻的印象而做出危险的行为。
是时候放慢脚步，倾听内心的声音，问问自己：这一切是否会给我们带来真正的幸福呢？我不知道你怎么想，但我的心告诉我它们不会。
看着外甥女在沙滩上玩耍，让我回想到了那些小时候天真无邪的快乐时光。
实际上，幸福不能从物质的拥有或别人的期望中找到。 幸福来自过程中产生的乐趣，也是来自所爱之人的陪伴。
是不是在别人眼中最大最美丽的沙堡，这并不重要。重要的是能和我们重视的人一起做我们喜欢的事。那是一种简单的快乐。
我们不需要去寻找幸福，因为它就在我们身边。大道至简，只要享受生活中简单的事情，幸福就很容易了。
