? The bookstore on the island is a Victorian-style hut with a faded sign hanging on the porch, which reads: No one is an island, and every book is a world. A.J. Fickley, a middle-aged man, runs a bookstore on an isolated island. Fate never cared for him, his beloved wife died, the bookstore was in crisis, and even the only valuable treasure was stolen. His life came to a deadlock and his heart became a desert island. At this moment, a mysterious baby appeared in the bookstore, which unexpectedly saved A.J. from loneliness and despair, and became the bond between him and his wife Ismail, the sheriff Lan Buys and Amelia, the salesgirl of the publishing house, which brought a turn for the better in his life. Several lives on the island are closely related to each other, and they have stepped out of the predicament of life. All their love for books and life has gone on wave after wave, becoming more and more turbulent. Next, I will tell you about the points I got and my feelings.
1, the bad things have passed, and the good things should come. Be optimistic about life. Everyone's life has the most difficult year, which makes life beautiful and broad.
The owner of the bookstore on the island lost his dear wife in middle age, and his career bookstore was in crisis, and the only valuable treasure was stolen. All the bad things flocked to him, and his whole life was particularly decadent and negative. As soon as Maya appeared, AJ had to take care of her, and the whole life was busy at once, and because of Maya's appearance, it was colored. In order to take care of Maya, he googled "What should I feed my two-year-old and one-month-old child?" How to give her a bath, how to change her diaper, how to take a bath, and how to change her unhealthy diet, go running and show her children books that she didn't like before. On the whole, it was Maya who made him want to live again. Every one of us will encounter unhappy things in life. Sometimes I'm unlucky, I just feel that I've been poured cold water. The more unlucky I am, the more I feel that I am looking for myself. In fact, part of it is also a matter of mentality. When you are in a bad mood, you will be in a bad mood. If you are in a bad mood, you will like nothing, and ordinary little things may bother you. At this time, we must adjust our mentality and get rid of the cycle of negative emotions. How can we get rid of negative emotions? Just keep yourself busy. When you are busy, you won't have time to think about things that make you unhappy, and you will gain a lot in the process of being busy, so as to be happy.
In the process of growing up, we will always encounter many things that we don't like and are not used to. Anyway, I hope we can always be childlike and love life.
When I read Maya's childhood story in the book, I couldn't help laughing. "Maya, wearing one-piece pajamas, walked softly through the living room and came to A.J.' s bedroom. At first, she said quietly, "Dad, Dad." If not, she will call his name; If not, she will shout his name; If screaming doesn't work, she will jump into bed. ""There are sixteen steps to the bookstore. Maya sat there slipping step by step because her legs were too short to walk confidently step by step. She staggered past the bookstore, past books without illustrations and past greeting cards. Her hand slipped through the magazine and turned the revolving bookshelf where the bookmarks were placed. Good morning, magazine! Good morning, bookmark! Good morning, book! Good morning, bookstore! " "The bookstore is fifteen Maya wide and twenty Maya long. She knows this because she once spent an afternoon measuring it by lying indoors again and again. Fortunately, Maya is not in her thirties, because she can only count to thirty at most that day. "Children are particularly innocent and lovely. People always come to my house. Some young mothers or grandmothers come to my house to play with their children. I am always happy, because I especially like to play with children, especially children aged two to three, who are very cute. Maybe they play too much with the children. Up to now, they can't help Doby when they see their children. When they are twenty years old, they can also play with children, stick out their tongues and make faces at them.
? 3. Once a person cares about one thing, he finds that he should start to care about everything. When you like someone, you start to care about her. When you care about her, you begin to care about everything about her. After AJ fell in love with Amelia, she began to care about everything. After Amelia was injured, AJ wanted to see Amelia, but he had no reason and was embarrassed to directly show that he wanted to see her, so he said that he would go to a Green Animal Modeling Garden in Portsmouth, Maya. By the way, I went to see the injured Amelia. In fact, AJ's ultimate goal is to meet Amelia, and taking Maya away is just a cover. What about you? Have you ever had a crush on someone in your life and everything about him? When others discuss him, you pretend not to care, but you actually listen carefully. In order to see him more, he made all kinds of excuses. I think most of us should have had such a time. After reading this passage I wrote, do you remember anyone?
4、? It is better to live alone than to live with someone who doesn't like what he wants.
When Amelia was 3 1 year old, she thought she should meet someone now. However, there is no optimism in Amelia's belief that it would be better to live alone with someone who doesn't like her. I really feel this way. Many friends around me fall in love not because they like each other, but because they want to have an object. There are also many people who get married not because they like it, but because they are old enough to get married. But at what age do you get married? If you are too old to get married, you will be pointed at by some people. Under the pressure of reality and family, you have to find someone to marry in a hurry. Maybe you don't hate him and you don't like him. Marriage seems to be just to complete the task. This is really terrible. If you can't find someone who shares your interests, you might as well not get married. I hope all girls can finally marry love, and boys can marry the people they lock in.
We need to work hard, for nothing but to provide good medical conditions for our parents when they are old and sick. After AJ came a disease of glioblastoma multiforme, which cost a lot of money to treat. Anyway, it's just to delay death. AJ said I wouldn't leave Amy (Amelia) and Maya penniless just to live a few more months. "He loves his wife and daughter, and so do his classmates' wives and daughters. I hope he can live longer. Fortunately, the precious treasure he lost before came back, and the money he bought was just used to see a doctor. But in real life, it won't be so lucky. An ordinary family simply can't afford the high medical expenses. Many families have no choice but to take sick old people home, take ordinary medicine and wait for death. If they get good medical care, they can live for many years. But what can we do? Old people certainly don't want their children to lose everything for their old age. As for their children, they have spent all their savings and are unable to let their parents enjoy good medical conditions. In addition to taking care of elderly parents, there are young children to raise, and life is very helpless. Therefore, we really need to work hard, not for anything else, but for parents to have money to receive good medical care when they are old and sick. Sometimes, it feels vulgar to raise money, but try to leave the money and see if you can survive.
6. Keep trying new things.
Her mother AJ is over seventy years old. Now, she paints on stones, then makes jewelry, helps people in prison read and save Siberian dogs, and tries a new restaurant every week. She is dating several people, a man and a woman. She gradually became bisexual and didn't think it was a big deal. She is seventy years old, and she believes in trying new things, otherwise she might as well die. This is a cool old lady. The best way to stay young is to keep learning new things and trying new things. The same life is meaningless.
7. With regard to paper books and e-books, no matter which reading method, the ultimate goal is reading, and there is no need to argue about reading in that way.
At Christmas, AJ's mother gave their family three people an e-reader. Maya has long wanted an electronic reader. She likes it very much and is very happy, but AJ is very angry. He put his fist on the coffee table. Ask his mother: "Mom, do you understand that hateful thing is raging, which not only destroys my business, but also leads to the rough and rapid decline of literature and culture that have been vibrant for centuries?" Many people like reading books, some like paper books, and some like e-books. As for me, I always like paper books. I have been reading paper books before, and I have been reading e-books most of this year. Because e-books are very convenient, you can take them out anytime, anywhere for eating, taking the bus and going to the toilet. And with the improvement of reading software, it is really good to exchange ideas with book friends by reading e-books. I like to take a book to the library in a leisurely afternoon, find a place where the sun can shine, read quietly, finish reading the book in my hand and feel the sunshine. It's really, really good to read all afternoon. I also like to take out my mobile phone to read electronically on the bus, and I like to read bit by bit. Therefore, I don't think it is necessary to argue about reading in that way. The ultimate goal is reading. You can choose different reading methods in different situations.
? A place without a bookstore is not a place. I want to open a bookstore, not for profit, with books, flowers and coffee. Many people have dreams of opening a shop, and I have always dreamed of opening a bookstore. With the development of science and technology and the popularity of e-books, more and more physical bookstores have closed down. Many surviving bookstores are also struggling to maintain. When I have certain economic conditions in the future, I must open a bookstore, not for profit.
