because of the recommendation of a financial teacher who has never met before, is destined to be exposed to such an excitement The story of the people's heart, there is a little feeling in the heart, and it is not unpleasant.
The protagonist tells a small story about his childhood, which is very impressive: when he was a child, he lined up to see the dentist, and accidentally saw the news in a newspaper that he was going to build the world's tallest two twin towers. He was deeply attracted by this news, because he wanted to like climbing trees and buildings since he was a child, and the rudiment of the idea of climbing to the top of the twin towers may have appeared in his heart, with a certain inexplicable excitement. I secretly secreted that page and ran out of the dentist's office. Later, he had a toothache for a long time. Later, Philip taught himself to walk a tightrope. His passion and unrequited spirit, as well as the help of his friends, allowed him to complete the feat of tightrope walking in Notre Dame Cathedral and the Sydney Bridge. However, the most shocking thing was his idea of crossing the Twin Towers in the United States, when he was only 25 years old. After repeated research, struggle, and careful planning with friends, Philip finally realized this world-shocking move, walking between the twin towers, like a poet between wandering and life and death, giving people unlimited imagination Power and beauty. When he succeeded in conquering this great goal, he abandoned his friends, or his friends felt that their relationship had changed. Some plots of the documentary and complementary background music make people immersed in this story for a long time and can't extricate themselves.
Philip is a lunatic, a poet, a dancer full of passion and dreams, and a highly skilled tightrope walker. His success comes from his passion and talent. "If I die, it will be a beautiful death." He has already regarded conquest and challenge as the necessity of life, and even giving his life for it is a kind of beauty. When arguing with friends, he insisted on believing that he could achieve it, even if everyone opposed it; when he was caught by the police, he stole the police’s watch to express his disdain and resistance; at the end, he walked in When he was in the clouds, he laughed rebelliously and provocatively at the police. He is always resisting, challenging, and even conquering, and he will never get tired of it until he finally completes his dream. When he was finally arrested, many reporters asked him why he did this. He was very dissatisfied. He felt that the Americans were really realistic. They asked him tens of thousands of times why and why he couldn't understand that many things are a primitive passion of life. So Philip is pure and outstanding. For example, when A-Gump was running across the United States in "Forrest Gump", American reporters kept asking: "Are you for environmental protection?" "Are you for world peace?" ... A-Gump said "I just wanna run." If Philip and Forrest hadn't done something that was difficult for others, they would have been regarded as lunatics or murderers. The world is always so funny and people rarely follow themselves.
Many people dislike Philip and accuse him of ungratefulness. One of his friends was expelled from the United States because of him, another was traveling around the world for him, and another was a girlfriend who was always by his side to support his. However, when he stood under the spotlight, in the eyes of the world's attention, accepted the hookup of the female celebrity, and resolutely rolled the sheets with her, completely indifferent to waiting for him to need his friends and lover. So everyone will lament that the world is impermanent, and they will go their separate ways after success, will regret his selfishness, and think about the gloom behind human nature. I think this is because everyone has a perfectionist plot and is too picky. Philip was able to chase his dream so enthusiastically because of his irrationality and disobedience. The power of sensibility and passion prompted him to resist and conquer, so he was not a person living under the rules of the world from the beginning, he only obeyed his own heart. Nietzsche has a passage in "The Will to Power":
"A great man, this is a man built and invented by nature in a great style-what is this? First, in his entire work, he has a consistent logic, because the logic is too long, so it is difficult Knowing the outline, so it is deceptive, that is, he has the ability to cultivate his willpower from the huge plane of his life, and he has the ability to despise and abandon the small, even if it contains the most beautiful and most divine in the world. Sexual things. Second, he is colder, more blunt, less thoughtful and less afraid of public opinion; he does not have the virtues associated with respect and being respected, he does not have all the characteristics of mediocre morality; if he cannot be a guide , He walks alone. Third, he doesn’t want to have a heart of sympathy, because in the interaction of people, he always hits their ideas. He has a sense of loneliness in his heart, something that cannot be achieved by certain praises and criticisms, and has a unique It’s
just like a tragic poem, but he doesn’t judge himself.” His enthusiasm for dreams, his disregard for rules, and his insensitivity to morals allowed him to make a world record. You can always feel romance and beauty.
I also once had a passion that is closest to life. At that time, I only thought of that one thing every day. When I finally finished, I heard and heard the sound of my previous reading every night. It's like Philip could hear the people whispering in the clouds below. I am now 25 years old, the age when he alarmed the world, but slowly surrendered to the external rules and inner laziness. I can no longer touch the passion and fanaticism that should belong to the young, the uninhibited and romantic. This is my dilemma.
Can I rediscover that "cloud walking" moment? Wait and see.
