However, in the school there were several students who were looking forward to Anna's speech, and they seem to have been very disappointed. In the meantime, Anna sends a speech manuscript to one of the students who was looking forward to the speech by e-mail. A few years later, the original text of this speech was uploaded on the social network, spread quickly on the web, and the speech manuscript was also put on her book "A Short Guide to a Happy Life" That's right.


Anna did not even obtain a master 's degree, even a doctor' s degree. She says, "I am not a logical scholar, much less a philosopher or an expert in something special, I can not even be like a curator who speaks grandly about economics or the universe or academic things" At the same time he wrote, "I am a novelist, my work is human nature, real life is everything I know," he writes his advice in life based on his actual experience .

She says, "Do not confuse life and work." In other words, this means that work is part of life and not everything, and this word is also the only word she should put on others.

People often look for work as a means to live when looking for work. However, Anna wrote, "You are the only person who can control your life," and warns about actions that do not have subjectivity that has been left up to easy choice and flow.

In addition, Mr. Anna wrote in his book "I can not become a" top notch "as long as you do all of the work alone," appealing the importance of cooperating with the surroundings.

"It is not that such things as real life are busy with work, getting a lot of salary, living in a big house," that's what Anna says. If you are told that it is an arterial cancer, she will still ask if she can worry about work and property.

To live a real life, feel the nature, to draw nature, smell the wind, observe the movement of the birds by looking at the sky, pay attention to the moment the baby frown, We need to show interest by circumstances. Then, you need to hang up the phone, feel the quiet presence of yourself, find someone you like, and have someone love you. Also remember that this "love" is not "leisure" in life but "work" to do.

In addition, Mr. Anna also recommends to liberate his days. I look at nature and spend my days while realizing that life is a wonderful thing. There is no ski to bring in business there. Pay attention to "good things" that I felt "want to spread around", please spend the money you used to drink beer at the bar to charity. And even if there is something that does not go well, please accept it.

However, in most cases humans will soon forget how wonderful their lives are. Anna says that life is like being made up of the small radiance that arises in the long silence that darkly sunk. Life is really hard and you have to reach for the shining moment of your life yourself, and for that you need to teach yourself the preciousness of love and life.

It is also a good way to understand that you are happy and think about yourself as if you are suffering from terminal cancer. By doing this, Anna wrote that you should be able to have a fun and passionate life.
