Origin Story

在一个繁华的都市里，住着一位名叫李明的年轻人。李明是一位很有才华的艺术家，他创作了许多令人惊叹的作品。然而，李明却总是被一些小事困扰，比如邻居家的小孩吵闹，朋友的无意冒犯，甚至街上偶尔出现的违章停车。这些琐事让他感到烦躁不安，影响了他的创作灵感。 一天，李明去一家咖啡馆喝咖啡，遇见了一位头发花白的老人。老人坐在角落里，静静地喝着咖啡，脸上始终带着淡淡的微笑。李明被老人的微笑吸引了，便走过去与老人攀谈起来。 李明向老人倾诉了自己的烦恼，老人听完后，微微一笑，说道：“孩子，生活中总会有不如意的事情，你不可能让所有人都按照你的意愿去行事。与其烦恼，不如一笑了之。人生苦短，不要把时间浪费在不值得的事情上。” 李明听了老人的话，深思良久。他意识到，老人的话很有道理。他所遇到的这些小事，的确不值得他如此烦恼。他应该学会放宽心态，以乐观的心态去面对生活中的各种挑战。 从那天起，李明开始改变了自己的态度。他不再为一些小事而烦恼，而是用乐观的心态去面对生活中的各种挑战。他把更多的精力投入到创作中，创作出了更多优秀的作品。 李明最终明白了，一笑了之，不只是一种生活态度，更是一种智慧。

In a bustling city, there lived a young man named Li Ming. Li Ming was a talented artist, and he created many stunning works. However, Li Ming was always bothered by little things, such as the noise of his neighbors' children, unintentional offenses from friends, and even occasional illegal parking on the street. These trivial matters made him feel anxious and affected his creative inspiration. One day, Li Ming went to a cafe to have coffee and met an elderly man with gray hair. The old man sat in the corner, quietly drinking his coffee, always with a faint smile on his face. Li Ming was attracted by the old man's smile and went over to talk to him. Li Ming confided his troubles to the old man, and after listening, the old man smiled slightly and said: “Child, there will always be unsatisfactory things in life, you can't make everyone act according to your wishes. Instead of being upset, just laugh it off. Life is short, don't waste your time on things that aren't worth it.
