A cold observation:
What really tires people out
is often not the thing itself
but the fact that we keep thinking about it

I had a buddy in college who studied civil engineering, while his girlfriend studied clinical medicine.
Later, when they were preparing to get married, the girl’s mother firmly objected.
The reason was simple:
Doctors have a promising future; civil engineers do not.
My buddy spent ages explaining things over the phone and expressing his devotion.
But her mother did not budge at all.
I couldn’t help offering a suggestion from the side:
“How about switching to mechanical engineering later? Our school’s mechanical engineering program is pretty good too.”
Her mother replied:
“Study that lousy mech

My dad tricked me all day!
This year's Tomb-Sweeping Festival, my dad said:
“You’re one of the strong laborers in the family now. It’s time for you to shoulder some responsibility.”
So I specifically took the high-speed rail back to my hometown to honor our ancestors.
When we got to the mountain,
I carried a hoe and a machete.
I cut grass, added soil, and kept busy from one task to the next.
I even directed a few younger relatives to set off firecrackers and burn joss paper.
I felt extremely pleased with myself, like I was a construction foreman.😎
I also felt like I had finally become the fam

On the first day of the Gaokao, I was under a lot of pressure after finishing the exam
So I went to the basketball court to clear my head
An older guy came over and said: “Want to play a game? We’re short one player.”
Me: “No thanks, I still have the Gaokao tomorrow.”
The guy: …
“Damn, bro, I thought you were 30.”🤣

In college, I injured my hand while cutting fruit and couldn't get it wet because the wound was very deep.
A few roommates did something
that I still can't forget to this day.
Here's what happened: One time in college, I was cutting fruit
and accidentally cut my hand.
The wound was very deep.
The doctor said:
I couldn't get it wet for the time being
or it could easily become infected.
Washing my face was fine,
but washing my hair became a problem.
Back then, our dorm had no hair-washing bed.
My roommates thought about it for a long time
and actually put the lower bunk

Brother Mao wants to ask
If your grandfather left most of his estate to you
But your whole family wants you to take it out and split it equally
What would you do?

She seemed to become the least welcome person in the family

Her grandfather left most of his savings and property to her
A woman from another country shared her personal experience

When she was young, she would go to her grandfather's house every weekend
And continued to do so after

Until the year my mom turned 73
that I suddenly realized why she asks me every day, “Have you eaten?”
When I was a kid, I found it annoying.
After growing up, I still found it annoying.
Sometimes I could receive it several times in a single day.
And I’d even think:
Is there really no other topic besides eating?
Later, when my mom was 73,
it was still the same as before—
every day, her first words were:
“Have you eaten today?”
But it suddenly made me realize:
If one day my phone no longer gets that sentence,
I might be more uncomfortable than anyone else.
I used to t

After asking for an open marriage for a year, my wife finally got my husband to agree—but the ending left everyone surprised..
Here’s how it went. A netizen shared their own personal experience:
They’d been married for 7 years.
Their relationship had always been good.
Then one day, out of the blue, my wife suggested:
“Why don’t we try an open marriage?”
The husband refused.
After that—over the next full year—
the wife brought it up almost every month.
She kept persuading.
She kept saying:
“We’re still young.
Let’s just experience it.
It won’t affect our relationship.”
In the end, the husband f

Recently, Maoge has been seeing a lot of AI startup companies talking about one thing:
In the future, when starting a business, maybe you really don’t need to hire a lot of people right from the beginning.
A person who can use AI might really be able to cover for a small team—say, a team of around ten-odd people.
Not sure if I’m overthinking it.

Suddenly I remembered something from when I was a kid
One summer, I went to my cousin’s house to play. My uncle handed us two bottles of soda—back then it was some no-name cola in brown glass bottles..
I don’t usually drink soda. I didn’t want to finish a bottle at once, so I used the bottle cap as a small cup and took just a few sips at a time
My dad saw it from the side, and said nothing
On the way home, he only told my mom one sentence:
“From now on, buy some soda for the house too, so he can drink it.”
Back then I didn’t understand. Some love is never spoken out loud—it only silently remem
