A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

(This chapter can be skipped, the content has been blocked and overhauled)

People's cognition is accumulated through one thing after another.

I won’t mention starting a business or becoming a celebrity singer or writer, it’s too dreamy.

However, many people work as front desk staff, customer service staff, waiters, nursery teachers, etc.

For this kind of work, anyone can learn it in an afternoon. I am over 25 years old, and I will soon be 30 years old. I don’t have a skill, an irreplaceable skill that others can’t learn in a month.

Would you feel hopeless? Would you feel like life is meaningless? You would never be able to become a normal person with a family and a career.

When even ordinary people cannot reach their level, what has it become? The scum eliminated by society, garbage?
What else can we do? The biggest truth of this world is that there is no so-called Sunflower Secret Book that can make people walk a path that is obviously much easier than others and can even defeat others.

In fact, most people are ordinary and mediocre, but we don’t know it at the beginning, or we don’t admit it.

Ask yourself, who, when young, was not full of passion, high-spirited, and ambitious? Who didn't fantasize that he was different from others and believed that he was the chosen one.

When I just graduated from school, I fantasized about the outside world and thought that through my hard work, I would one day climb to the top of the pyramid and look down on everything below.

Later, slowly, I experienced all kinds of problems. I felt that I was not free when working in a private enterprise. I could not get along with others. I felt that I was being self-righteous and not going along with others.

You are unwilling to listen to other people's opinions, thinking that you must be right, you don't listen to the leader's arrangements, thinking that the leader is just making empty promises, you are passive and lazy, and you think that the current salary is not worthy of your ability.

Later I lost my job, and when I looked for a job again, I either felt that I didn’t have enough experience or the salary was not high enough. I was confused for several months but still couldn’t find a satisfactory job.

Then I wanted to change careers, but I didn't know where to turn. I had a few short jobs here and there, but they all ended in failure before I even finished the internship period. Some of them didn't get permanent employment, and some of them ran away after seeing the reality.

Later, I lay in bed, tears streaming down my face. I couldn't sleep all night, and I was extremely anxious. I wondered if I was depressed. I ran around looking for a job every day, and I was exposed to the sun and the wind, and I became several degrees darker. Looking at the savings of only a few digits, I thought about how I had been spending more than I earned since I quit my job. In just a few months, life left a "川" wrinkle on my forehead.

Thinking back to my lofty ambitions back then, thinking about the bold words I said to others, and then looking at myself now, I feel so embarrassed that I wish I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

It turns out that the first job is the best. After quitting, you can never find a better one. Of course, after experiencing more, I also understand that other people’s success is not accidental. There is no such thing as a grassroots counterattack.

I used to think that I was a child of destiny and no one else could be better than me. Later, I felt that I was not even as good as an ordinary person and was at the bottom of society.

It turns out that before getting a job, we all live in a dream woven by ourselves or others. Later, life punctures this dream, and we wake up all of a sudden.

Thinking about the people around me, they are probably as ordinary as me. Ordinary people like us are destined to die on the road to Rome and become stepping stones for others.

I used to admire Liu Bang very much, thinking that although he was a small figure, he could establish the Han Empire.

I was just foolishly imagining that I could become an elite one day. Then I suddenly realized that I was ordinary and began to reconcile with myself. Isn't a person's life just about slowly compromising with himself...

In fact, most people are already self-aware when they are twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and thirty is almost the final step.

Because most of the stories we read tell us that successful people should have produced their first batch of achievements by this age. Even the most important batch of achievements in life, if you don’t have something to convince yourself, then it is unlikely that you will be able to produce them in the second half of your life.

When Einstein was 26 years old, he published four papers: the first one was on the photoelectric effect, the second one was on thermodynamics, the third one was on the view of space and time in the special theory of relativity, and the fourth one was on mass-energy conversion.

It is said that each of his papers could win the Nobel Prize. When he wrote to others the year before, he showed off his four papers. He was very clear about his own value.

When we were kids, there were many shortcuts. Just changing your hairstyle could make you look smart. But it’s different for adults. You can’t convince yourself just by changing your hairstyle.

The age between 25 and 35 is the second most painful age in life. One is extremely anxious and feels like sitting on pins and needles, second only to the feeling of waiting to die after the age of 80 or before suffering from an incurable disease.

If you keep avoiding this anxiety, then one day it will explode and that will be the midlife crisis; if you don’t avoid it, then every day after the age of twenty-five will be a crisis.

When you are young, it is like you have just fallen into the water, still floating on the surface, and then slowly submerged. And dying is just the process of sinking into the water and finally suffocating to death.

Of course, the latter is more painful, but the former is already doomed. Middle-aged people like to talk about the ups and downs of the business world, because only in the business world can there be some possibility of "old horses waiting for the stable".

In fact, this is not the case. It’s just that compared with “personal talent”, “organizational talent” is not easy to distinguish, which is enough to deceive oneself.

To some people, "hope" is as necessary as "air" and "water". To be without hope is like drowning, sinking into the sand, and starving. However, there is not as much hope in the world as there is water and air.

Different people may have different starting points and draw completely different conclusions about the same object. Objective things may contain subjective elements; everyone's choice is based on current cognition.

There is a saying: "The level of your cognition is the upper limit of your life."

A person's cognition guides his behavior and determines the direction of his life. Sometimes it is not timing or luck that delays a person, but his cognitive ability.

A person's cognition determines his vision, mentality and energy. The lower the cognition, the more blind spots, the more short-sighted and negative the mentality. They cannot see the essence of things, cannot seize opportunities, and will inevitably reject good luck.

Some scholars have proposed a concept called "information cocoon". It means that the information field that people pay attention to will be habitually guided by their own thoughts. When you accept a single point of view for a long time, it will wrap yourself tighter and tighter like a cocoon, and become more and more closed.

If you cannot get out of the closed loop of cognitive logic and live in a world you have built, your life will be like being shackled, imprisoned in a circle, and unable to move forward. In the end, you are the one who pays for all the frustrations and sufferings.

We are playing cognitive games throughout our lives. If our cognitive level is too low, all our efforts will be in vain.

Most people's reincarnation skills are not very good. If they insist on being stubborn with themselves, the result will most likely be that they will fall on the road? (End of this chapter)
