recently received a letter from a high school girl who had just turned 18. This girl came to Berlin from China to study.
"Eighteen years old is an important turning point in life, and choices and decisions are extremely important. However, we are so confused at this time that it is difficult to make correct judgments most of the time. Assume that all 18-year-old girls in the world are your children , What will your most precious advice to them be? Why?"
"Dear little sister Weiqing, after reading your letter, I deeply feel your confusion. Isn't this 18 years old? Feelings. I remember that I just finished filming the first film "Out of the Window" that year, and I was not sure which way I would go in the future. At that time, the only way out was to go to university and study hard, but I was not the material for studying. My first love boyfriend forced me to go to the United States to make dumplings with him. What I am most interested in doing is acting. The film company asked me to go to Hong Kong to promote "Out of the Window". I was very hesitant and I didn’t know which one to choose. Road? If you agree to go, it means you have chosen the path of acting. I still remember that I wrote three notes in distress, one for "reading", one for "filming", and one for "making dumplings". Each sheet was crumpled into a ball and grabbed the lottery by myself. The whole afternoon was still undecided. Finally, I wrote a lot of "dead words" on white paper, which shows how distressed I was at that time.

"Normally, 18 years old is the age for studying and studying. It is best to go to university and choose subjects that you are interested in. When you have the best memory and the strongest learning ability, you can seize the opportunity to study hard for job opportunities. Laying a good foundation for future careers is the traditional concept of our time. Of course, there are many successful entrepreneurs who have no chance to study, such as Wang Yongqing from Taiwan, Li Ka-shing from Hong Kong, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates who dropped out of school. I think they must have chosen their most interesting job and at the same time on the journey of life. Constantly enrich yourself. I always believe that heaven and earth create humans and must give everyone different gifts-different specialties and different charms, but you must discover it and carry it forward bravely, then success will not be too far away from you.
"I almost fell ill before I went to Hong Kong. When I arrived in Hong Kong, I became famous overnight. Since then, I have been on the road of no return to the movie. So the biggest turning point in my life is 18 years old.
" Along the way, the most profound experience is 'Choose what you like to do the most', because in this way, you will devote yourself to what you are doing, not afraid of hardships, not afraid of difficulties, so the chance of success is relatively higher than others.
After marriage, Brigitte Lin is reading
"When my daughters were young, the two stories I liked most to hear before going to bed were "Little Grass" and "Blue Butterfly". A homeless man walked many, many roads, so tired and tired. So he put down his backpack and fell asleep on the grass. He heard a lot of voices in the middle of the night and felt strange. Who would speak in this dark wilderness at this late hour? Get up and see. It turns out that the grasses are happily discussing what color flowers they will turn into when the sun appears. Each grass is assigned its own color, and only the strongest grass can choose the color it likes freely, but it I have been unable to decide which color to choose. The wandering man couldn’t open his eyes anymore, and he fell into a drowsy again. When he was awakened by the dazzling sunlight, the grass in front of him happily bloomed its own flowers towards the sun, only one The withered grass fell to the ground feebly, and it had not made a decision when the sun came out.
"In a wet and dirty valley, there are many rotten wood, and the wood is covered with many caterpillars. They quickly It becomes a group of white butterflies, flying around in the valley. There was a caterpillar looking up at the sky. The sky was so blue and blue. It liked it so much. It said firmly to itself: ‘one day I must become a blue butterfly as blue as the sky. ’It desires so strongly every day. Finally one day, someone saw a group of white butterflies in the valley, with a blue butterfly as blue as the sky flying in it.
"So, Weiqing, find out the gift God gave you, take your gift, firmly move toward your goal, and work hard.
"Bless you! Eighteen-year-old kids! "
