Don't choose ease at a difficult age
Chapter 4 What others laugh at is not your dream, but your strength
Chapter 4 What others laugh at is not your dream, but your strength
Fight for your dreams while you are young
After my cousin graduated from university, he applied for a job in a foreign company.In fact, with his excellent resume and ability, he can enter a better company. The reason why he chose this company is because the company has business dealings with some countries in Africa.
Last summer, when he learned that the company's Kenyan office was undergoing personnel adjustments, his cousin immediately applied to the company for overseas residency.Since my colleagues are willing to go to Europe and the United States, vacancies in African countries are always avoided, so the application was quickly approved.
Going to Kenya meant that he would not be able to go home for a long time, and it also meant that he missed the opportunity to be sent to European and American countries, which made my uncle very angry.The cousin didn't want to explain too much about his choice, but just said lightly: "Africa, you still owe me something, and I'm going to get it back."
I know what he is going to get, it is a secret that belongs to him.
More than a month later, my cousin sent two photos. One is that my cousin is climbing the wooden ladder of the famous tree hotel in Kenya National Park. Not far away, there are several lions peeping in the grass. An antelope drinking water by the stream; another photo shows my cousin leaning against the sightseeing car and stretching out his hands in a victory sign, while a lioness in front of him is leading several lion cubs to play on the grass.
Uncle looked at the two photos over and over, thoughtful, his eyes still glowing. "Uncle, are you okay?" I asked him.He didn't speak, but walked into his cousin's room.Then, he took out a composition book from the small box in his cousin's room, and opened the first page, on which was written: My ideal.
My cousin's dream is to be an animal trainer, live with the lion every day, make friends with it, and tell it not to hurt others or other small animals.If he can’t be an animal trainer, then one day, he will go to Africa to live with lions for a few days, watch them hunt, play, and sleep, and then take some photos with them... In the lower right corner of the text, the teacher used A comment was written in red pen: Dreams are not dreams.
The teacher's comment made the cousin very sad, he really thought so.After returning home, my cousin took the composition home and showed it to his father, hoping to get affirmation and encouragement from his father.While listening to his cousin read the composition, the father laughed and said: "Well written, well written! Son, you are very imaginative. However, the teacher's comment is also correct. It is possible to be an animal trainer, but it is impossible to go to Africa. The most important thing is that no one can guarantee that the lion will not hurt you."
The uncle's words also hurt the cousin.
One weekend, my cousin came to my house and asked me aggrievedly: "What am I going to do in the future, why should I listen to them? Sister, I swear, I will definitely go to Africa in this life, and I must take a picture of lions together for my father." See it with the teacher."
Although, I also thought he was whimsical at the time, after all, he was only in his teens at the time.Today, the cousin fulfilled his oath.
"This kid is really good!" Uncle pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.I could hear that my uncle's words were not complaints, but praises, and he was proud of having such a stubborn son.
In life, everyone should have a dream, and work hard, give or lose for the dream... There is a saying that goes well: "Youth is for tossing." I want to say that youth is for realizing dreams .You think, if you don't realize it while you are young, and then go to toss it when you are old and can't walk, then you will have more than enough desire but not enough energy.If a person doesn't struggle all his life, wouldn't he come to this world for nothing?
If people want to realize their dreams and achieve one thing, they often need a lot of perseverance.Although what the cousin achieved was not an earth-shattering event, he proved with his actions that he had fought hard for his dream.
My colleague Xiaobo is a swimming enthusiast and goes to the swimming pool once a week.In his words, swimming in the water is like a fish, free and easy.When the body and hands move the water to the sides and spread out with the waves, it is like being gently touched.
We laughed at his description.
One day, he participated in an outdoor [-]-meter freestyle competition.When he came back, he was so excited, he gave us an impassioned description of the game scene and some things that happened throughout the process.We know that Xiaobo did not enter the top three in the competition, but his passionate speech infected everyone.What impresses me the most is that he said: "One must have some passion to live. If you don't even have passion, you can't talk about realizing your dreams."
Yes, getting No.1 and realizing our dreams is not our final destination.The greatest definition of a dream is not to be surpassed, but to continue to struggle.
I especially like this sentence. I have never fought for my dreams, and I have wasted my youth.As long as you work hard, it is possible to fulfill your dreams and become your own hero. This life is a life that you will not regret.On the way to realize your dreams, not everyone can withstand setbacks and failures... I want to say, this is the reason why you run counter to your dreams.Even if everyone stands on the same starting line as "young", there will still be examples of "some people succeed, some people fail".
The sweat you shed today is the tears you shed tomorrow
By your side, there must be people like this: they live in a rental house in a certain city, live a repetitive nine-to-five life, sometimes stay up late and work overtime until the early morning, and eat three meals a day at will. It is often takeaway, instant noodles, and occasionally going out to meet friends on weekends, shopping is a rare holiday... They have suffered some turmoil and setbacks in life, so they are willing to be a person who is full of resentment towards the world but drifts with the flow.
At the same time, there are also some people like this: they restrain themselves, act according to the plan every day, live in an orderly manner, and try not to waste time or do things that waste time.When others are still lying in bed, thinking about "waking up later", they have already woken up before the alarm clock, ate a delicious breakfast to replenish the energy they need, and then groomed and groomed, in the best condition and The state of mind welcomes work.
This is the difference between people.The biggest difference between them lies in the word "effort".
C is recognized by our school as "tall, rich and handsome". He is 1.80 meters tall, handsome, and has a decent conversation. He is the target of many girls.Gao Fushuai has already interpreted it perfectly, but I didn't expect him to have excellent grades, and he often won prizes and certificates in various competitions. Even the teachers often praised him for his safe handling of affairs, and his demeanor of being a leader in the future.His high-level configuration really envied many male compatriots.In the current words, it is obvious that you can rely on your face and family background to make a living, but you have to rely on your talent.
On the day of the graduation party, he appeared as the host and said with a microphone: "Many people ask me, why do I work so hard? Actually, it's because I don't have any extraordinary talent, and I don't want to hold 'I'm just like this' This kind of self-defeating attitude has lasted for 4 years. In this way, I have motivation."
That year, he was admitted to a certain media university as a graduate student.A few years later, he began appearing on local TV shows.Sometimes at class reunions, some people would say sourly: "C, it's just because the family is rich and good-looking." Some people would also complain about C: "Work hard and you will get results! No matter how powerful your family background is, if you don't If you work hard, you will be the one who cannot be supported."
Afterwards, I learned from other students that graduate student C opened a media company before he graduated, and the business went smoothly, and now there are garages.When I see him again, it's time for him to get married.He wore a neat suit, combed his oily hair neatly, his eyes became more resolute, and his facial features became more mature after years of experience.His wife has seaweed-like long hair, a graceful figure, and a pretty face. She looks very much like the fit version of Vivian Hsu and Vivian Chow.After so many years, C is still a legendary person.
This world is so realistic, and it is because of its reality that we can be forced to survive and become better people.
A daughter of my father's friend is 3 years older than me. When I was in high school, she had already studied abroad.Because our class teacher is a teacher, I can always hear about her deeds.One day, the head teacher read us a letter from her, which described her current life and studies, as well as her gratitude to the teacher.Wait for the teacher to finally read the words of the signature - from Cambridge.I was dumbfounded at the time.Cambridge!It was an amazing school, and for an average student like me, Cambridge was out of reach.After returning home, I asked my dad about her news, and my dad said approvingly: It is really not easy for a girl to be so good.
Years later, at a family gathering, I met her and we had a chat.One sentence she said is still fresh in my memory: Because you want to live your own life, many things are like traveling. When you decide to go, the most difficult part has actually been completed.
I remember reading a Weibo story about a girl who went abroad for the first time. Her life as a student abroad was not as smooth as she had imagined, because of language barriers and different tastes and habits.One day, she saw Leo on Facebook, a local Australian guy with a good personality and strong ability to do things. The most enviable thing is that his grades are also among the best.
After getting to know each other, the girl began to chat with Leo about her life, which later turned into complaints.After the girl finished talking a lot, Leo replied like this: I still can’t afford an iPhone, which is something you can see easily in your country; my tuition fees are earned by myself, and although you are far away from home, your parents have always been I am silently supporting you, you do such a little thing every day, why do you say that you are tired?Those who are more tired than you don't say anything, those who are better than you work harder than you, what right do you have to sigh?In the end, he said a very harsh word to the girl: either go back or fight.
Seeing this, the girl was suddenly dumbfounded.It turned out that she had only seen what they obtained on the surface, but not how they obtained it, let alone their persistence and difficulties.Yes, in places where I can't see, how many silent efforts are made, even if it is slower, but I never said to give up, let alone complain.In fact, whether it is the daughter of a father or friend, Leo, or other outstanding people, under their glamorous "appearance", they all have their own sadness and hard work.
When you complain, want or shrink back or give up, don't forget: when a person is in his early 20s, there is nothing but a little youth left, but the efforts of youth can determine what you become people.Just imagine, how many places can a person go to in a lifetime, and how many unforgettable scenery can he see?How many books can you read that can change your life?How many unforgettable trips can you experience?How can there be so many unsatisfactory things in this world?All we can do is keep going, keep going.
There is a good saying: "A person who doesn't work hard, others want to pull you, but they can't find where your hand is!" Only by working hard can we have the capital to have more desires and ability To resist this cruel and unforgiving world.Especially when a person can neither rely on his face for food nor compete with his father, the only thing we can do is to work hard, work hard, and work hard!We must remember "Don't choose ease at an age of hardship", it is tears of touching and gratification, and tears of growth from naivety to maturity and self-confidence.
If you haven't worked hard, why ask for results
At a classmate's birthday party, I learned two new words "healthy friend" and "running friend".As the name suggests, "fitness friends" are friends who exercise, and "runners" are friends who run together.
I don't know if it's because of the number limit, or because people are starting to pay more attention to their health. Fitness has become the first choice of entertainment for many friends.There is a saying that goes well, it is better to invite people to sweat than to invite them to eat.Even Taiwanese celebrity Xiao S said, "Either thin or die."Visible, the importance of fitness.
I once watched a TV program called "Super Weight Loss King", in which every contestant weighed several times more than normal people's weight. They walked a few steps, panting and sweating profusely.After a little exercise, such as doing sit-ups, I can't get up when I go down... At first, watching them exercise with the guidance and help of the coach, I always laughed.But, looking at it, the tears couldn't stop.
There are more or less troubles on them, some are related to health, some are related to love and marriage, some are related to studies or the workplace... The girl who impressed me the most, has been blind dated because of her appearance.What a shock for a girl.
Every week, they will have intensive training, and the competition "see who loses the most in a week", and whoever loses the least weight will face the danger of being eliminated.After watching a few episodes, I found that although this program is about losing weight, it also talks a lot about how to look at life, yourself, and the world.
At this time, there is no better way to explain my encouragement to these people than "the sweat you shed today is the tears you shed tomorrow".Today you have put in sweat and hard work, and tomorrow you will have unexpected huge gains, such as: no longer need to buy the largest size or custom-made clothes; no longer need to care about other people's strange eyes; health is guaranteed; work and love There are also more opportunities.
Some people say that it is a reality show, all for show, what is there to say?Besides, in life, many fat people have also found their own careers and loves.
If it is said that TV programs do not want to earn eyeballs and increase ratings, it is absolutely false.But weight loss is a real thing.Because there is no PS here, it will not really make your original round body extremely thin with PS.Here are the real statistics - scales, it will tell you "are you working hard or lazy".There is no one here to help you lose weight, only you can rely on yourself.If you give up today, then your tomorrow will be a complete failure. If you fail, you will be ruined on the road of "weight loss", and you will still not be able to thin into a lightning bolt.
After knowing that my friend has been running for nearly two years, I also started to move around, ready to join this "running craze".To this end, we have created a special group, which includes those who are in the running craze, some who are about to join, and some coaches who have received formal training. Everyone will consult some questions every day.Of course, most of them are worried about not being able to persist.
Later, a friend specially made a schedule and posted it in the group.This is a one-year weight loss plan. The running time is from what time to what time every day, how many kilometers should be run at least in a week, how many kilometers should be run in a month, how much weight do you want to lose after running for a month, and so on.
At the beginning, many people responded, but very few people actually took action.The definition of a plan is: "The activities of clarifying the goals to be pursued and the corresponding action plans in advance." But when you know the goals and actions but do not pursue the goals and run through the actions, then the plan is just a plan. No matter how good the plan is, if there is no Actions are all zero.No matter the plan is simple or complex, for example: plan to run for a week in the morning or run for a year in the morning, if you don't start to act, all plans are doomed to failure.Instead of planning to fail, don't plan and just do it.
If you want to do something, you don't need to set long-term goals at once, you can try to disperse the goals and divide them into small goals.For example: I plan to run 10 kilometers because I have plenty of time on the weekend.When I started running, I didn't think I could run 10 kilometers, so I decided to do 3 kilometers.When you successfully run 3 kilometers, you can say to yourself: "Now keep running and run 4 kilometers." When you finish running 4 kilometers, you can continue to say to yourself: "Now, your goal is to run 5 kilometers." Repeatedly, increasing in turn, I ran 10 kilometers without knowing it.Of course, even if you haven't run 10 kilometers, you've still taken action.
In addition to fitness, this kind of plan can be seen everywhere in life.For example, you are going to take an industry certification exam in a few months, so you have to calculate the time, how much time will be spent on reading, how much time will be spent on reviewing, how much time will be spent on doing exercises... But the most important thing is the ability to act .If you just talk about it and think about it in your head, it means you haven't done anything. "Laozi" mentioned: "The tree that embraces is born at the end of the hair; the nine-story platform starts from the base of the soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Xunzi also said in "Encouraging Learning": "Do not accumulate steps. , can't reach thousands of miles; without accumulating small streams, there can't be rivers and seas."
Confusion is just that talent cannot support dreams
Maybe yesterday you sat in the office from 9 am to 5 pm, gritted your teeth and made up your mind: wait, I must leave with the most proud attitude.Look at you today, you still look the same, where is your pride?
Maybe yesterday you thought that you are not suitable to live in the world made of steel and concrete, and you are eager to go to the countryside and live a life that is uncontested. No matter what anyone says, you will say "Who cares" without hesitation.Look at you today, where is that free and easy, the edges and corners of your body will be smoothed by the world?
Maybe……
Don't recall your past years!Those memories have long been painted by you to lose their original color.Because, you are not worthy of your original dream.
Because of work, I met Feifei, a girl who works as an editor in a magazine.She has been working in the magazine for 3 years, and she still gets reprimanded by the leader from time to time.At this time, she would say to me fiercely: "Train me again, and I will quit!"
A year has passed, and Feifei still made some small mistakes and was punished as usual.Wait until I smile and ask her if she resigned?She smiled and said, "As soon as the opportunity comes, leave immediately."
One day, we were chatting together, and I asked her, "If you stopped designing, what industry would you be in?"
She paused for a long time and sighed: "If I knew what I could do, I would have resigned. I am so confused now."
"Then don't you have anything in particular you want to do? For example, what is your dream?" When I asked this sentence, I felt a little regretful.
She said with some embarrassment: "Yes, I want to be a tour guide. It's not the domestic one, but the one with international tour groups. I go to many places every year. It's great!"
"It's pretty good, why don't you try it?"
She pouted again and said, "Hey, you don't know, I haven't even passed CET-[-], let alone other languages..."
I smiled and nodded yes.Yes, this dream sounds glamorous, but it is indeed difficult to realize.
I then asked, "Why did I choose to be an editor in the end?" She froze immediately, and said, "I study Chinese as an undergraduate, and I don't want to be a teacher or a civil servant. In comparison, I still think editing is more suitable for me. Let's just start. I took the magazine office as my transition period, and when I got better at it, I would switch jobs to a big publishing house. Unexpectedly, after a few years, not only did I not make any progress, but I was not as good as a college student who just applied. As an old Employees, being criticized all day long for trivial matters... Tell me, what else can I do? I'm so confused."
Recently, she changed her mood in the circle of friends to - she is so confused, why live in the present, if you don't even know what you should do, how do you know that what you insist on now is the right one?
To be honest, I read this sentence back and forth several times, and even felt heartache.Once, I was also confused about my work, hesitated and questioned what I did.But soon, I passed this period, because I know: In most cases, confusion is the normal state of life, and confusion is only when I am powerless.To be more direct, that is, talent is not worthy of dreams.If we have enough capital, enough talent, and enough confidence, how can we be lost?How can there be times when you want to resign but dare not resign.
Instead of staying in a static state and spending every day complaining and bored, it is better to make a little change for a better self, let yourself recharge your talents, and run faster on the road of your dreams , step on more firmly.
If your ability is limited and your talent is not enough to support your ambition, then plunge into small failures and setbacks to absorb nutrition.If you can't be a leopard, then it's good to be a beautiful and noble sika deer, at least everyone loves you.
But Feifei didn't understand this truth.When her work was not going well, she had no intention of changing the status quo except to express her dissatisfaction in the circle of friends.
Slowly, I realized why Feifei was always reprimanded by the leader for some trivial things, and I also understood why she always said that she was confused.
In fact, she was not denied by the leader and others, but by herself.Since you want to make "a good editor" your future career, you should start from scratch and be strict with yourself.If you are sloppy at work, not to mention co-authors, even leaders and colleagues will hate you.At that time, even if you don't resign, the leader will issue an order to expel the guest.
Once, I thought that some people were confused because they had no dreams. Later, I found out that I was wrong. Everyone has their own dreams, which can be big or small.Talent is the same reason, it has big and small.A person with great talent can gain knowledge even by eating something, while a person with little talent can only make a little progress through sweat and hard work.Even so, people who are making a little progress every day will never say that they are confused.
Don't be confused, my friends, do a good job of the current job at hand, do it well, and your talents and abilities will be improved little by little.The best way to overcome confusion is to seize the existing life, move forward fiercely, and strive to make yourself better.I think that if Feifei can take every manuscript seriously, no matter how low her starting point is, a few years will be enough for her to have a gorgeous transformation, instead of complaining about the hardships of life and trivial work like she is now torment.
Make dreams come true with strength
There is a lyric in American rapper Eminem's "Lose yourself": "Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wantedIn one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip? (Look at , if you had an opportunity to accomplish all that you have ever dreamed of, would you grab it or just let it slip away?)
I think most people will choose the former, but... yes, there are many but, such as, I don't have time at the moment; When Happiness Knocks on the Door, when the hero is the most destitute, he spends the night in the toilet of the station with only 20 cents on him.Even so, he never gave up.
Yesterday's dream may be today's hope, and it may become tomorrow's reality.If you have a dream, you must defend it.
On November 1928, 11, he was born in a slum in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Since childhood, he had lofty ambitions, dreaming of becoming a successful entrepreneur when he grows up, thereby changing the destiny of himself and his family. Let the people around you live a happy life.
After the age of 10, in order to reduce the burden on his parents, he dropped out of school and worked as a newspaper boy to earn money to support his family.Later, he successively worked as a dishwasher and a delivery man, and gradually gained a deep understanding of the reality of society. After the age of 20, he began to have no hope of becoming an entrepreneur, and only wanted to own a small shop, because considering his family situation and social background, wanting to be a big boss was tantamount to wishful thinking. After the age of 30, he had no idea about owning his own shop, because he lost money in business, owed a whole body of debts, and even the living expenses of his wife and children became a problem.
In order to survive, he kept looking for jobs, but due to his low education and stuttering, he was dismissed after only staying in each company for a short time.He felt deeply hopeless, thinking back to his childhood ambitions, he couldn't help smiling bitterly to himself.After hitting a wall one after another, his dream shrank to the humbleness of having a full meal.In the dead of night, he smoked inferior cigarettes one after another, feeling extremely depressed.Early the next morning, he went to the market again to look for work.It's a pity that he turned around for a day and no one cared about him, and he was ready to go home dejectedly.Suddenly, a man in front of him threw away a newspaper he had read.He picked it up, wanting to look through to see if there was any recruitment information, but he couldn't find it, but a piece of popular science information in the middle of the newspaper caught his eye.
This small news reads: "Fleas are the best jumping animals in the world. They can jump to a height thousands of times higher than their own height. Recently, scientists have done an interesting experiment, putting fleas in jars , with a transparent cover. At this time the flea will jump up, hit the cover, and hit the cover again and again. After a while, the flea will continue to jump, but no longer jump high enough to hit the cover. The reason is very Simple, they've been automatically adjusted to a height where they won't hit the lid."
After reading this text, he was full of thoughts, and suddenly realized that he was very similar to a flea, and setbacks were like bottle caps. At first, he dreamed of jumping very high, but after bumping into walls, he kept lowering the height of his goal, until finally I am only used to living in the lowest place, and become without pursuit.He suddenly realized that one of the important reasons for the failure of every failed person in the world is that they lost the impulse and ambition to pursue success after encountering setbacks again and again.From that day on, he decided to change himself and regain his dreams and goals.
Soon after, he applied to a car company as a salesman.On the first day of work, he asked his wife to knit a word on his chest: No.1!
Years later, he still has the word on his chest: No.1!It's just that what was woven with needles and threads became made of pure gold.He is Mr. Joe Gillard, the sales guru!He is the world's most successful salesman included in the "Guinness Book of World Records", selling a total of 1963 Chevrolet cars from 1978 to 13001.He sold an average of 12 cars a day for 6 consecutive years-no one can break this record so far. He has been listed as the No. 12 salesman in the "Guinness World Records" for [-] consecutive years, and he is known as "the greatest salesman in the world".
If the dream is the top of the mountain, the ideal life is the exclusive and wide sky after reaching the top.People who move slowly on the sea of life often don't spare their hands and feet to really chase their dreams.The trivial things in life have worn away their youth, enthusiasm and dreams, and what remains is mediocrity.Life is short, how can it be wasted?If you are not willing to be mediocre, then find your dream and fight for it!To find your dream, you must improve yourself and constantly shorten the distance to the goal; this is the homework to be done every day, and you should persevere.
Before you take off, you must prepare a pair of wings
The so-called don't fight unprepared battles. If you don't prepare your "weapons", how can you succeed in "siege"?Maybe you will say, I will wait, when the opportunity comes, I will be ready.However, when the opportunity comes, is it too late to prepare?Everything is ready, and the situation of waiting for the east wind can only appear in the straw boat borrowing arrows in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but in reality, most of them wait until everything is ready before starting.If you just wait, the east wind will not come, or come later.
There is a proverb in the West: "Waiting for life is waiting for die." It means that waiting for life is waiting for death.
A young man with a master's degree in science and engineering met a friend who opened a 28S car wash shop when he was 4 years old.After going back and forth, the young man discovered that the car washing industry is very profitable.Therefore, the young man began to use his mechanical talents, searched for a lot of information, and then referred to a lot of existing car washing equipment on the market, and finally worked out a mobile steam car washing machine.
He is very pleased with his achievements, and he has made so much hard work in vain.Immediately afterwards, the young man set up a website, read several books on Internet marketing and franchising, and worked out a set of promotional strategies for telemarketing.
Later, the young man found a house with two bedrooms and one living room, bought a few computers, a few telephones, recruited a few students, and started his own business.
At the beginning, when people heard something unfamiliar, they would directly reject it.After several months, he did not sell a single machine.Even more tragically, he began to live on borrowed money and pay his employees wages.The family couldn't understand his behavior. Why should a master suffer this crime instead of finding a stable job?
After several years of hard work, he has gained a deeper understanding of the steam car wash market, continuously improved his machines, and met many like-minded people.With his passion and perseverance and determination not to be afraid of failure, he made his career fly.
For young people, his wings are the hardships he has suffered and the doubts he has received.As time grew, his wings became plump.Then, it is not difficult to take off.
In life, we should not always feel that all conditions are sufficient to satisfy our desire to fly.The truth is, often when the opportunity comes, you can't fly because your wings are not plump enough.
There are many things like this in the world. If you want to fly, you have to experience pain. If you want to pursue your dreams, you have to let yourself have a pair of full-winged wings.It's like breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.Before the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it goes through a lot of hardships. It has to bear the loneliness in the cocoon and the pain.After it has done all the preparatory work, it can break free from the thick cocoon and fly into the air, becoming a beautiful scenery in the world.
Many things in the world are like this. If you want to fly, you have to experience pain. If you want to pursue your dreams, you have to let yourself have a pair of full-fledged wings.
Some people may say, I have no worries in my life and my family is well-off, so why should I suffer the pain of breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly?A person relying on other people's wings is like a tortoise that is led by an eagle to travel around the world. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.Instead of being subject to many restrictions, why not have a pair of wings of your own and go wherever you want.
In short, dreams need full wings to carry.If you want to take off, you need a pair of wings.The name of these wings is independence, strength, strength, patience, and persistence... Now, see if you have wings on your body.If not, start preparing now.
A dream is not a dream, nor is it just a dream
For dreams that cannot be realized, most people attribute the reality to be too cruel, and there are many foreseeable and unforeseeable things that bind themselves.
When I was 18 and went to college, I was asked what your dream was, and you said to travel around the world. When you finished college at the age of 22, you said you should find a job first; when your job was stable at the age of 26, you said you would wait until you bought a house; ;You have a child at the age of 30, and your words have changed to go when the child is older... In the end, you didn't go anywhere.
Because of practical problems of one kind or another, your dream has never been realized.In fact, the main reason why you didn't realize it is: you don't have the power to act.In fact, in this world, the only thing we can call the shots is the control over ourselves.As long as you want to go, you can act at any time.
During a certain period of time in college, I liked to listen to the promotion song of the stage play "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land": Allow me to look at you, I always look at you in my dreams every night.Later, I saw on Weibo that someone changed this sentence to: Dream, let me look at you, I always look at you in my dreams every night, and I will continue to move towards you after reading.
A young man from Beijing wanted to go to Berlin, Germany to see his girlfriend, so he chose to travel by "hitchhiking", traveling through more than 1.6 kilometers, 13 countries, across Asia and Europe, encountered some problems and met some strangers s help.In the end, the young man ran into his girlfriend on a square in Berlin and embraced her tightly.
This incident was not only recorded as a documentary broadcast on Travel Satellite TV, but also published a book "Hitchhiking to Berlin" because of this special experience.When some people admired the young man's stamina and perseverance, and lamented the greatness of love, the young man said: "Some things, if you don't do it now, you will never do it."
So, when you feel why painters paint so well; when you feel why writers can write works that make people cry; Put down your computer, don’t chat on WeChat, don’t play games, don’t go to Douban, Renren, don’t check Weibo, pick up a pen and paper or pick up a book, write seriously, and read seriously.
If you can't even do such a small thing, what is the dream?Dreams are not fantasies, let alone thinking about it.If thinking about it can bring achievements for yourself, then the world is really crazy.
If you are still a person who dares to dream, maybe at that moment, you are no longer mediocre.Dare to dream, stick to the dream, and pour it with sweat and painstaking efforts without distraction and determination, and the flower of the dream will surely bear fruit.You know, what others laugh at is never your dream, but your unworthy dream.If you are worthy, show your strength.
what have you done to live the life you imagined
A few days ago, I saw an article on Weibo. It started with a couple who had struggled in Beijing for 10 years and paid a down payment of 100 million yuan for a house.Then he talked about how the couple lived apart in two places, how to save food and clothing... Finally, the couple brought their parents from their hometown, and the family of four finally found a place to live in the huge Beijing city.
This article has been reposted by hundreds of thousands. Surprisingly, most people support such comments: "If I live like them, I might as well die." "I don't want to make myself so hard"...
At that time, I remembered a story my friend told me:
One of her classmates bought a house in the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing with the support of her family not long after she graduated.With the increase in housing prices, she sold the house two years later, added her own savings, and bought a house on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road.Three years later, she sold the house again and bought a house in the third ring road.At that time, she was already married, and many people advised her not to make such a fuss, but she thought, "If you don't change now, when will you wait."Later, she changed houses twice in succession.In the process of changing houses, she added a lot of money, but it was effortless.Every time she buys or sells a house, she reveals her shrewdness and diligence.Now, she has lived in Chaoyang District, and the market value of this house is more than ten times that of the first house.
When people around her marvel at how rich she is, she doesn't actually spend much.Compared with those who want to buy a house in the city center but usually spend a lot of money, it is much more reliable for her to make money and change houses step by step.
Some people may say that living like this is too tiring!But if you don't get tired, if you don't pay for life first, how will you get it in return?
Don't you want to live the life you imagined?Of course you will answer without hesitation: Yes.
In this world, there is no money earned for nothing, and no hard work paid for nothing.If you want to get something, you must first learn to give.
Larry is a 10-year-old boy who adores pilots.When he was older, this dream took root in his heart.
At the age of 18, Larry applied for the U.S. Air Force Academy, but unfortunately failed due to vision problems.In desperation, he diverted all his energy to the ground handling test. At the age of 19, he successfully got the admission notice of the U.S. Air Force Ground Handling School.Even the ground staff, he is very excited, because at least this can be a little closer to the dream in his heart.
Not long after the report, a bad news came from the family: my father passed away.Therefore, he had no choice but to drop out of school and manage a supermarket instead of his father to support the family.
In this way, Larry started a life of [-] or [-] years.After his mother died, he quit managing supermarkets and became a truck driver.
After becoming a truck driver, he started his dream of flying again.At around 3 o'clock every afternoon, as long as he doesn't drive, he will lie on a deck chair in the backyard, open a can of beer, watch the planes fly by, leave two trails of white smoke in the blue sky, and then slowly dispersed.
He muttered to himself: This is my dream, but I can't get on it anymore.As each day passed, he recalled more and more of his dreams. One day after 3 years, Larry heard a voice say to himself:
"Hi Larry, if you have a dream, you have to do something about it." (Hey, Larry, if you have a dream, you have to do something about it).
But what can a truck driver do for a dream?
Suddenly, Larry had a crazy idea and started to act.He bought large hydrogen balloons from a store, filled them with hydrogen, and strapped them to a deck chair.In order to keep the chair balanced and prevent the hydrogen balloon from flying away, he added some water bags and sandbags to the chair.
On a sunny afternoon, Larry fastened the 3 straps on the recliner, sat down on the recliner, and was ready to fly.On his body, there is also a backpack with some food in it.Of course, he also brought a gun, which can be used to burst the balloon after flying into the sky.When everything was ready, he took out a knife and started cutting the rope.
With a bang, the rope broke, and the balloon flew up with him.However, what he didn't expect was that the balloon rose rapidly and couldn't stop at all. He was a little scared. This was not what he imagined at all!Originally, he just wanted to fly up for a while, and immediately descend when he saw the high city, but now... Oh my god, he has already crossed the stratosphere and reached an altitude of about 3500 meters above the ground.He hurriedly turned on the radio, contacted the terminal building, and said, "Hurry up and get me down, I'm on the channel!"
The staff at the terminal smiled and hung up the radio.God knows, which lunatic is joking again.Soon, the passing pilots saw the "pilot" hanging by the balloon. They were shocked and contacted the radio station.
Under the guidance of the radio station, Larry used a gun to break the balloons one by one in a clockwise order, causing the balloons to slowly descend.Due to the slow descent, the whole process lasted more than two hours.It was a thrilling experience, and he couldn't believe that he was really a pilot.When a reporter interviewed this adventurous "hero" why he did this, he said: If you have a dream, always do something for it.
Later, Larry became a household name, and his story influenced many people, including the screenwriter of the movie "Up".
Although Larry's approach is not something we can emulate, but that sentence is very reasonable: if you have a dream, you have to do something for it.Each of us should pay and work hard for our dreams and our imagined life, so that we have the opportunity to make our dreams come true.
Don't seek false names, only seek practical knowledge
A false name is just a kind of gorgeous packaging, without real talent and learning, it can be fooled for a while, but not for a lifetime.A person should be indifferent, willing to be lonely, and devote himself to work and career. Only by suppressing personal desires for material things and fame to the minimum standard can the flower of the spirit bloom most perfectly.
A very knowledgeable middle-aged lawyer, after years of examinations, finally obtained the "lawyer qualification certificate", "lawyer's practice certificate", "senior paralegal certificate", "senior lawyer's practice certificate" and other certificates that can prove his noble status. Yang Yang, claiming that he is not a vain name, but has real talents and learning, can be armed with knowledge and has a three-inch tongue, and wins every lawsuit.
One summer, he used his vacation to go hunting in the countryside.He hit a bird, but unfortunately, the bird landed in the yard of a farmer's house.
The walls of this yard are made of fences. The lawyer saw that such a short wall could be stepped in by himself, so there was no need to inform the owner of the yard, so he stepped into the yard as soon as he lifted his foot, and Quickly pick up the bird he hit.At this moment, an old farmer drove a tractor, and he was the owner of the family.
When the old farmer saw someone entering his yard, he asked warily, "What do you do? Why do you want to break into a private house? What do you want to do?"
The lawyer replied, "I'm a lawyer, and a bird I shot fell into your yard, so I came in to get it, without any other bad intentions."
The old farmer replied: "This is my home. You entered my home without my permission. This is trespassing and breaking the law. You are a lawyer. Don't you understand this?"
The lawyer certainly understands this truth, but he was amused to hear an uneducated old farmer talk about the law, so he showed the four certificates he carried with him and said, "You country people, do you know that I am famous all over the country? Barrister! With my knowledge of the law, I can acquit the guilty and put the innocent in prison! If you won't let me take my bird, I'll sue you and find a charge, Put you in jail! I will do what I say!"
"Prosecute?" The old farmer laughed, "I can tell you are a foreigner when you hear it. You don't know that we have a rule called 'kick three times'. Why are you playing ridiculous lawsuits!"
The lawyer asked curiously: "What is the rule of 'three kicks'?"
The old farmer replied: "For example, as far as the dispute between us is concerned, because it happened in our family, I will kick you three times first, then you will kick me three times, and then I will kick you three times." Next, you kick me three more times, and repeat until one of them can't hold on and declares surrender. The person who declares surrender will naturally lose the lawsuit."
The lawyer thought to himself: It is not necessary to use eloquent sophistry to solve the lawsuit, but to use such a foolish and ridiculous method is really an eye-opener. I might as well cooperate with the local customs. This elderly farmer is definitely not my opponent in terms of physical strength.
Therefore, the lawyer did not carefully consider the logic of the old peasant's discourse, but agreed to follow the customs of the country and use this "three kicks" local rule to resolve their disputes.
At this time, the old farmer climbed out of the tractor, walked up to the lawyer, raised his foot, and kicked the lawyer's knee, and the latter fell to his knees with a plop.He kicked the lawyer in the stomach a second time, almost causing the lawyer to vomit out his last meal.He kicked the lawyer's ass for the third time, and the lawyer was lying on the ground, his face was in close contact with a pile of cow dung on the ground.
The lawyer struggled to get up from the ground, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said viciously: "Wait, old man, it's my turn now!"
The old farmer laughed and said, "Oh, no, I've run out of strength, I give up, and you can take your bird. You win, congratulations, brilliant barrister!"
The barrister, whose nose was bruised and swollen from the beating, stood there dumbfounded.I can't figure it out, but the knowledge I have and the several qualification certificates I carry with me are useless here.
"The reeds on the wall are top-heavy, light-footed and shallow-rooted; the bamboo shoots in the mountains have a sharp mouth, thick skin, and a hollow belly." This couplet is really penetrating and lifelike for those who have only false names but no real talents.
Sometimes it seems to be very useful to have a false name!However, the biggest name of a person is to have real talents and good qualities!This calmness cannot be replaced by any false name.

Fight for your dreams while you are young
After my cousin graduated from university, he applied for a job in a foreign company.In fact, with his excellent resume and ability, he can enter a better company. The reason why he chose this company is because the company has business dealings with some countries in Africa.
Last summer, when he learned that the company's Kenyan office was undergoing personnel adjustments, his cousin immediately applied to the company for overseas residency.Since my colleagues are willing to go to Europe and the United States, vacancies in African countries are always avoided, so the application was quickly approved.
Going to Kenya meant that he would not be able to go home for a long time, and it also meant that he missed the opportunity to be sent to European and American countries, which made my uncle very angry.The cousin didn't want to explain too much about his choice, but just said lightly: "Africa, you still owe me something, and I'm going to get it back."
I know what he is going to get, it is a secret that belongs to him.
More than a month later, my cousin sent two photos. One is that my cousin is climbing the wooden ladder of the famous tree hotel in Kenya National Park. Not far away, there are several lions peeping in the grass. An antelope drinking water by the stream; another photo shows my cousin leaning against the sightseeing car and stretching out his hands in a victory sign, while a lioness in front of him is leading several lion cubs to play on the grass.
Uncle looked at the two photos over and over, thoughtful, his eyes still glowing. "Uncle, are you okay?" I asked him.He didn't speak, but walked into his cousin's room.Then, he took out a composition book from the small box in his cousin's room, and opened the first page, on which was written: My ideal.
My cousin's dream is to be an animal trainer, live with the lion every day, make friends with it, and tell it not to hurt others or other small animals.If he can’t be an animal trainer, then one day, he will go to Africa to live with lions for a few days, watch them hunt, play, and sleep, and then take some photos with them... In the lower right corner of the text, the teacher used A comment was written in red pen: Dreams are not dreams.
The teacher's comment made the cousin very sad, he really thought so.After returning home, my cousin took the composition home and showed it to his father, hoping to get affirmation and encouragement from his father.While listening to his cousin read the composition, the father laughed and said: "Well written, well written! Son, you are very imaginative. However, the teacher's comment is also correct. It is possible to be an animal trainer, but it is impossible to go to Africa. The most important thing is that no one can guarantee that the lion will not hurt you."
The uncle's words also hurt the cousin.
One weekend, my cousin came to my house and asked me aggrievedly: "What am I going to do in the future, why should I listen to them? Sister, I swear, I will definitely go to Africa in this life, and I must take a picture of lions together for my father." See it with the teacher."
Although, I also thought he was whimsical at the time, after all, he was only in his teens at the time.Today, the cousin fulfilled his oath.
"This kid is really good!" Uncle pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.I could hear that my uncle's words were not complaints, but praises, and he was proud of having such a stubborn son.
In life, everyone should have a dream, and work hard, give or lose for the dream... There is a saying that goes well: "Youth is for tossing." I want to say that youth is for realizing dreams .You think, if you don't realize it while you are young, and then go to toss it when you are old and can't walk, then you will have more than enough desire but not enough energy.If a person doesn't struggle all his life, wouldn't he come to this world for nothing?
If people want to realize their dreams and achieve one thing, they often need a lot of perseverance.Although what the cousin achieved was not an earth-shattering event, he proved with his actions that he had fought hard for his dream.
My colleague Xiaobo is a swimming enthusiast and goes to the swimming pool once a week.In his words, swimming in the water is like a fish, free and easy.When the body and hands move the water to the sides and spread out with the waves, it is like being gently touched.
We laughed at his description.
One day, he participated in an outdoor [-]-meter freestyle competition.When he came back, he was so excited, he gave us an impassioned description of the game scene and some things that happened throughout the process.We know that Xiaobo did not enter the top three in the competition, but his passionate speech infected everyone.What impresses me the most is that he said: "One must have some passion to live. If you don't even have passion, you can't talk about realizing your dreams."
Yes, getting No.1 and realizing our dreams is not our final destination.The greatest definition of a dream is not to be surpassed, but to continue to struggle.
I especially like this sentence. I have never fought for my dreams, and I have wasted my youth.As long as you work hard, it is possible to fulfill your dreams and become your own hero. This life is a life that you will not regret.On the way to realize your dreams, not everyone can withstand setbacks and failures... I want to say, this is the reason why you run counter to your dreams.Even if everyone stands on the same starting line as "young", there will still be examples of "some people succeed, some people fail".
The sweat you shed today is the tears you shed tomorrow
By your side, there must be people like this: they live in a rental house in a certain city, live a repetitive nine-to-five life, sometimes stay up late and work overtime until the early morning, and eat three meals a day at will. It is often takeaway, instant noodles, and occasionally going out to meet friends on weekends, shopping is a rare holiday... They have suffered some turmoil and setbacks in life, so they are willing to be a person who is full of resentment towards the world but drifts with the flow.
At the same time, there are also some people like this: they restrain themselves, act according to the plan every day, live in an orderly manner, and try not to waste time or do things that waste time.When others are still lying in bed, thinking about "waking up later", they have already woken up before the alarm clock, ate a delicious breakfast to replenish the energy they need, and then groomed and groomed, in the best condition and The state of mind welcomes work.
This is the difference between people.The biggest difference between them lies in the word "effort".
C is recognized by our school as "tall, rich and handsome". He is 1.80 meters tall, handsome, and has a decent conversation. He is the target of many girls.Gao Fushuai has already interpreted it perfectly, but I didn't expect him to have excellent grades, and he often won prizes and certificates in various competitions. Even the teachers often praised him for his safe handling of affairs, and his demeanor of being a leader in the future.His high-level configuration really envied many male compatriots.In the current words, it is obvious that you can rely on your face and family background to make a living, but you have to rely on your talent.
On the day of the graduation party, he appeared as the host and said with a microphone: "Many people ask me, why do I work so hard? Actually, it's because I don't have any extraordinary talent, and I don't want to hold 'I'm just like this' This kind of self-defeating attitude has lasted for 4 years. In this way, I have motivation."
That year, he was admitted to a certain media university as a graduate student.A few years later, he began appearing on local TV shows.Sometimes at class reunions, some people would say sourly: "C, it's just because the family is rich and good-looking." Some people would also complain about C: "Work hard and you will get results! No matter how powerful your family background is, if you don't If you work hard, you will be the one who cannot be supported."
Afterwards, I learned from other students that graduate student C opened a media company before he graduated, and the business went smoothly, and now there are garages.When I see him again, it's time for him to get married.He wore a neat suit, combed his oily hair neatly, his eyes became more resolute, and his facial features became more mature after years of experience.His wife has seaweed-like long hair, a graceful figure, and a pretty face. She looks very much like the fit version of Vivian Hsu and Vivian Chow.After so many years, C is still a legendary person.
This world is so realistic, and it is because of its reality that we can be forced to survive and become better people.
A daughter of my father's friend is 3 years older than me. When I was in high school, she had already studied abroad.Because our class teacher is a teacher, I can always hear about her deeds.One day, the head teacher read us a letter from her, which described her current life and studies, as well as her gratitude to the teacher.Wait for the teacher to finally read the words of the signature - from Cambridge.I was dumbfounded at the time.Cambridge!It was an amazing school, and for an average student like me, Cambridge was out of reach.After returning home, I asked my dad about her news, and my dad said approvingly: It is really not easy for a girl to be so good.
Years later, at a family gathering, I met her and we had a chat.One sentence she said is still fresh in my memory: Because you want to live your own life, many things are like traveling. When you decide to go, the most difficult part has actually been completed.
I remember reading a Weibo story about a girl who went abroad for the first time. Her life as a student abroad was not as smooth as she had imagined, because of language barriers and different tastes and habits.One day, she saw Leo on Facebook, a local Australian guy with a good personality and strong ability to do things. The most enviable thing is that his grades are also among the best.
After getting to know each other, the girl began to chat with Leo about her life, which later turned into complaints.After the girl finished talking a lot, Leo replied like this: I still can’t afford an iPhone, which is something you can see easily in your country; my tuition fees are earned by myself, and although you are far away from home, your parents have always been I am silently supporting you, you do such a little thing every day, why do you say that you are tired?Those who are more tired than you don't say anything, those who are better than you work harder than you, what right do you have to sigh?In the end, he said a very harsh word to the girl: either go back or fight.
Seeing this, the girl was suddenly dumbfounded.It turned out that she had only seen what they obtained on the surface, but not how they obtained it, let alone their persistence and difficulties.Yes, in places where I can't see, how many silent efforts are made, even if it is slower, but I never said to give up, let alone complain.In fact, whether it is the daughter of a father or friend, Leo, or other outstanding people, under their glamorous "appearance", they all have their own sadness and hard work.
When you complain, want or shrink back or give up, don't forget: when a person is in his early 20s, there is nothing but a little youth left, but the efforts of youth can determine what you become people.Just imagine, how many places can a person go to in a lifetime, and how many unforgettable scenery can he see?How many books can you read that can change your life?How many unforgettable trips can you experience?How can there be so many unsatisfactory things in this world?All we can do is keep going, keep going.
There is a good saying: "A person who doesn't work hard, others want to pull you, but they can't find where your hand is!" Only by working hard can we have the capital to have more desires and ability To resist this cruel and unforgiving world.Especially when a person can neither rely on his face for food nor compete with his father, the only thing we can do is to work hard, work hard, and work hard!We must remember "Don't choose ease at an age of hardship", it is tears of touching and gratification, and tears of growth from naivety to maturity and self-confidence.
If you haven't worked hard, why ask for results
At a classmate's birthday party, I learned two new words "healthy friend" and "running friend".As the name suggests, "fitness friends" are friends who exercise, and "runners" are friends who run together.
I don't know if it's because of the number limit, or because people are starting to pay more attention to their health. Fitness has become the first choice of entertainment for many friends.There is a saying that goes well, it is better to invite people to sweat than to invite them to eat.Even Taiwanese celebrity Xiao S said, "Either thin or die."Visible, the importance of fitness.
I once watched a TV program called "Super Weight Loss King", in which every contestant weighed several times more than normal people's weight. They walked a few steps, panting and sweating profusely.After a little exercise, such as doing sit-ups, I can't get up when I go down... At first, watching them exercise with the guidance and help of the coach, I always laughed.But, looking at it, the tears couldn't stop.
There are more or less troubles on them, some are related to health, some are related to love and marriage, some are related to studies or the workplace... The girl who impressed me the most, has been blind dated because of her appearance.What a shock for a girl.
Every week, they will have intensive training, and the competition "see who loses the most in a week", and whoever loses the least weight will face the danger of being eliminated.After watching a few episodes, I found that although this program is about losing weight, it also talks a lot about how to look at life, yourself, and the world.
At this time, there is no better way to explain my encouragement to these people than "the sweat you shed today is the tears you shed tomorrow".Today you have put in sweat and hard work, and tomorrow you will have unexpected huge gains, such as: no longer need to buy the largest size or custom-made clothes; no longer need to care about other people's strange eyes; health is guaranteed; work and love There are also more opportunities.
Some people say that it is a reality show, all for show, what is there to say?Besides, in life, many fat people have also found their own careers and loves.
If it is said that TV programs do not want to earn eyeballs and increase ratings, it is absolutely false.But weight loss is a real thing.Because there is no PS here, it will not really make your original round body extremely thin with PS.Here are the real statistics - scales, it will tell you "are you working hard or lazy".There is no one here to help you lose weight, only you can rely on yourself.If you give up today, then your tomorrow will be a complete failure. If you fail, you will be ruined on the road of "weight loss", and you will still not be able to thin into a lightning bolt.
After knowing that my friend has been running for nearly two years, I also started to move around, ready to join this "running craze".To this end, we have created a special group, which includes those who are in the running craze, some who are about to join, and some coaches who have received formal training. Everyone will consult some questions every day.Of course, most of them are worried about not being able to persist.
Later, a friend specially made a schedule and posted it in the group.This is a one-year weight loss plan. The running time is from what time to what time every day, how many kilometers should be run at least in a week, how many kilometers should be run in a month, how much weight do you want to lose after running for a month, and so on.
At the beginning, many people responded, but very few people actually took action.The definition of a plan is: "The activities of clarifying the goals to be pursued and the corresponding action plans in advance." But when you know the goals and actions but do not pursue the goals and run through the actions, then the plan is just a plan. No matter how good the plan is, if there is no Actions are all zero.No matter the plan is simple or complex, for example: plan to run for a week in the morning or run for a year in the morning, if you don't start to act, all plans are doomed to failure.Instead of planning to fail, don't plan and just do it.
If you want to do something, you don't need to set long-term goals at once, you can try to disperse the goals and divide them into small goals.For example: I plan to run 10 kilometers because I have plenty of time on the weekend.When I started running, I didn't think I could run 10 kilometers, so I decided to do 3 kilometers.When you successfully run 3 kilometers, you can say to yourself: "Now keep running and run 4 kilometers." When you finish running 4 kilometers, you can continue to say to yourself: "Now, your goal is to run 5 kilometers." Repeatedly, increasing in turn, I ran 10 kilometers without knowing it.Of course, even if you haven't run 10 kilometers, you've still taken action.
In addition to fitness, this kind of plan can be seen everywhere in life.For example, you are going to take an industry certification exam in a few months, so you have to calculate the time, how much time will be spent on reading, how much time will be spent on reviewing, how much time will be spent on doing exercises... But the most important thing is the ability to act .If you just talk about it and think about it in your head, it means you haven't done anything. "Laozi" mentioned: "The tree that embraces is born at the end of the hair; the nine-story platform starts from the base of the soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Xunzi also said in "Encouraging Learning": "Do not accumulate steps. , can't reach thousands of miles; without accumulating small streams, there can't be rivers and seas."
Confusion is just that talent cannot support dreams
Maybe yesterday you sat in the office from 9 am to 5 pm, gritted your teeth and made up your mind: wait, I must leave with the most proud attitude.Look at you today, you still look the same, where is your pride?
Maybe yesterday you thought that you are not suitable to live in the world made of steel and concrete, and you are eager to go to the countryside and live a life that is uncontested. No matter what anyone says, you will say "Who cares" without hesitation.Look at you today, where is that free and easy, the edges and corners of your body will be smoothed by the world?
Maybe……
Don't recall your past years!Those memories have long been painted by you to lose their original color.Because, you are not worthy of your original dream.
Because of work, I met Feifei, a girl who works as an editor in a magazine.She has been working in the magazine for 3 years, and she still gets reprimanded by the leader from time to time.At this time, she would say to me fiercely: "Train me again, and I will quit!"
A year has passed, and Feifei still made some small mistakes and was punished as usual.Wait until I smile and ask her if she resigned?She smiled and said, "As soon as the opportunity comes, leave immediately."
One day, we were chatting together, and I asked her, "If you stopped designing, what industry would you be in?"
She paused for a long time and sighed: "If I knew what I could do, I would have resigned. I am so confused now."
"Then don't you have anything in particular you want to do? For example, what is your dream?" When I asked this sentence, I felt a little regretful.
She said with some embarrassment: "Yes, I want to be a tour guide. It's not the domestic one, but the one with international tour groups. I go to many places every year. It's great!"
"It's pretty good, why don't you try it?"
She pouted again and said, "Hey, you don't know, I haven't even passed CET-[-], let alone other languages..."
I smiled and nodded yes.Yes, this dream sounds glamorous, but it is indeed difficult to realize.
I then asked, "Why did I choose to be an editor in the end?" She froze immediately, and said, "I study Chinese as an undergraduate, and I don't want to be a teacher or a civil servant. In comparison, I still think editing is more suitable for me. Let's just start. I took the magazine office as my transition period, and when I got better at it, I would switch jobs to a big publishing house. Unexpectedly, after a few years, not only did I not make any progress, but I was not as good as a college student who just applied. As an old Employees, being criticized all day long for trivial matters... Tell me, what else can I do? I'm so confused."
Recently, she changed her mood in the circle of friends to - she is so confused, why live in the present, if you don't even know what you should do, how do you know that what you insist on now is the right one?
To be honest, I read this sentence back and forth several times, and even felt heartache.Once, I was also confused about my work, hesitated and questioned what I did.But soon, I passed this period, because I know: In most cases, confusion is the normal state of life, and confusion is only when I am powerless.To be more direct, that is, talent is not worthy of dreams.If we have enough capital, enough talent, and enough confidence, how can we be lost?How can there be times when you want to resign but dare not resign.
Instead of staying in a static state and spending every day complaining and bored, it is better to make a little change for a better self, let yourself recharge your talents, and run faster on the road of your dreams , step on more firmly.
If your ability is limited and your talent is not enough to support your ambition, then plunge into small failures and setbacks to absorb nutrition.If you can't be a leopard, then it's good to be a beautiful and noble sika deer, at least everyone loves you.
But Feifei didn't understand this truth.When her work was not going well, she had no intention of changing the status quo except to express her dissatisfaction in the circle of friends.
Slowly, I realized why Feifei was always reprimanded by the leader for some trivial things, and I also understood why she always said that she was confused.
In fact, she was not denied by the leader and others, but by herself.Since you want to make "a good editor" your future career, you should start from scratch and be strict with yourself.If you are sloppy at work, not to mention co-authors, even leaders and colleagues will hate you.At that time, even if you don't resign, the leader will issue an order to expel the guest.
Once, I thought that some people were confused because they had no dreams. Later, I found out that I was wrong. Everyone has their own dreams, which can be big or small.Talent is the same reason, it has big and small.A person with great talent can gain knowledge even by eating something, while a person with little talent can only make a little progress through sweat and hard work.Even so, people who are making a little progress every day will never say that they are confused.
Don't be confused, my friends, do a good job of the current job at hand, do it well, and your talents and abilities will be improved little by little.The best way to overcome confusion is to seize the existing life, move forward fiercely, and strive to make yourself better.I think that if Feifei can take every manuscript seriously, no matter how low her starting point is, a few years will be enough for her to have a gorgeous transformation, instead of complaining about the hardships of life and trivial work like she is now torment.
Make dreams come true with strength
There is a lyric in American rapper Eminem's "Lose yourself": "Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wantedIn one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip? (Look at , if you had an opportunity to accomplish all that you have ever dreamed of, would you grab it or just let it slip away?)
I think most people will choose the former, but... yes, there are many but, such as, I don't have time at the moment; When Happiness Knocks on the Door, when the hero is the most destitute, he spends the night in the toilet of the station with only 20 cents on him.Even so, he never gave up.
Yesterday's dream may be today's hope, and it may become tomorrow's reality.If you have a dream, you must defend it.
On November 1928, 11, he was born in a slum in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Since childhood, he had lofty ambitions, dreaming of becoming a successful entrepreneur when he grows up, thereby changing the destiny of himself and his family. Let the people around you live a happy life.
After the age of 10, in order to reduce the burden on his parents, he dropped out of school and worked as a newspaper boy to earn money to support his family.Later, he successively worked as a dishwasher and a delivery man, and gradually gained a deep understanding of the reality of society. After the age of 20, he began to have no hope of becoming an entrepreneur, and only wanted to own a small shop, because considering his family situation and social background, wanting to be a big boss was tantamount to wishful thinking. After the age of 30, he had no idea about owning his own shop, because he lost money in business, owed a whole body of debts, and even the living expenses of his wife and children became a problem.
In order to survive, he kept looking for jobs, but due to his low education and stuttering, he was dismissed after only staying in each company for a short time.He felt deeply hopeless, thinking back to his childhood ambitions, he couldn't help smiling bitterly to himself.After hitting a wall one after another, his dream shrank to the humbleness of having a full meal.In the dead of night, he smoked inferior cigarettes one after another, feeling extremely depressed.Early the next morning, he went to the market again to look for work.It's a pity that he turned around for a day and no one cared about him, and he was ready to go home dejectedly.Suddenly, a man in front of him threw away a newspaper he had read.He picked it up, wanting to look through to see if there was any recruitment information, but he couldn't find it, but a piece of popular science information in the middle of the newspaper caught his eye.
This small news reads: "Fleas are the best jumping animals in the world. They can jump to a height thousands of times higher than their own height. Recently, scientists have done an interesting experiment, putting fleas in jars , with a transparent cover. At this time the flea will jump up, hit the cover, and hit the cover again and again. After a while, the flea will continue to jump, but no longer jump high enough to hit the cover. The reason is very Simple, they've been automatically adjusted to a height where they won't hit the lid."
After reading this text, he was full of thoughts, and suddenly realized that he was very similar to a flea, and setbacks were like bottle caps. At first, he dreamed of jumping very high, but after bumping into walls, he kept lowering the height of his goal, until finally I am only used to living in the lowest place, and become without pursuit.He suddenly realized that one of the important reasons for the failure of every failed person in the world is that they lost the impulse and ambition to pursue success after encountering setbacks again and again.From that day on, he decided to change himself and regain his dreams and goals.
Soon after, he applied to a car company as a salesman.On the first day of work, he asked his wife to knit a word on his chest: No.1!
Years later, he still has the word on his chest: No.1!It's just that what was woven with needles and threads became made of pure gold.He is Mr. Joe Gillard, the sales guru!He is the world's most successful salesman included in the "Guinness Book of World Records", selling a total of 1963 Chevrolet cars from 1978 to 13001.He sold an average of 12 cars a day for 6 consecutive years-no one can break this record so far. He has been listed as the No. 12 salesman in the "Guinness World Records" for [-] consecutive years, and he is known as "the greatest salesman in the world".
If the dream is the top of the mountain, the ideal life is the exclusive and wide sky after reaching the top.People who move slowly on the sea of life often don't spare their hands and feet to really chase their dreams.The trivial things in life have worn away their youth, enthusiasm and dreams, and what remains is mediocrity.Life is short, how can it be wasted?If you are not willing to be mediocre, then find your dream and fight for it!To find your dream, you must improve yourself and constantly shorten the distance to the goal; this is the homework to be done every day, and you should persevere.
Before you take off, you must prepare a pair of wings
The so-called don't fight unprepared battles. If you don't prepare your "weapons", how can you succeed in "siege"?Maybe you will say, I will wait, when the opportunity comes, I will be ready.However, when the opportunity comes, is it too late to prepare?Everything is ready, and the situation of waiting for the east wind can only appear in the straw boat borrowing arrows in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but in reality, most of them wait until everything is ready before starting.If you just wait, the east wind will not come, or come later.
There is a proverb in the West: "Waiting for life is waiting for die." It means that waiting for life is waiting for death.
A young man with a master's degree in science and engineering met a friend who opened a 28S car wash shop when he was 4 years old.After going back and forth, the young man discovered that the car washing industry is very profitable.Therefore, the young man began to use his mechanical talents, searched for a lot of information, and then referred to a lot of existing car washing equipment on the market, and finally worked out a mobile steam car washing machine.
He is very pleased with his achievements, and he has made so much hard work in vain.Immediately afterwards, the young man set up a website, read several books on Internet marketing and franchising, and worked out a set of promotional strategies for telemarketing.
Later, the young man found a house with two bedrooms and one living room, bought a few computers, a few telephones, recruited a few students, and started his own business.
At the beginning, when people heard something unfamiliar, they would directly reject it.After several months, he did not sell a single machine.Even more tragically, he began to live on borrowed money and pay his employees wages.The family couldn't understand his behavior. Why should a master suffer this crime instead of finding a stable job?
After several years of hard work, he has gained a deeper understanding of the steam car wash market, continuously improved his machines, and met many like-minded people.With his passion and perseverance and determination not to be afraid of failure, he made his career fly.
For young people, his wings are the hardships he has suffered and the doubts he has received.As time grew, his wings became plump.Then, it is not difficult to take off.
In life, we should not always feel that all conditions are sufficient to satisfy our desire to fly.The truth is, often when the opportunity comes, you can't fly because your wings are not plump enough.
There are many things like this in the world. If you want to fly, you have to experience pain. If you want to pursue your dreams, you have to let yourself have a pair of full-winged wings.It's like breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.Before the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it goes through a lot of hardships. It has to bear the loneliness in the cocoon and the pain.After it has done all the preparatory work, it can break free from the thick cocoon and fly into the air, becoming a beautiful scenery in the world.
Many things in the world are like this. If you want to fly, you have to experience pain. If you want to pursue your dreams, you have to let yourself have a pair of full-fledged wings.
Some people may say, I have no worries in my life and my family is well-off, so why should I suffer the pain of breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly?A person relying on other people's wings is like a tortoise that is led by an eagle to travel around the world. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.Instead of being subject to many restrictions, why not have a pair of wings of your own and go wherever you want.
In short, dreams need full wings to carry.If you want to take off, you need a pair of wings.The name of these wings is independence, strength, strength, patience, and persistence... Now, see if you have wings on your body.If not, start preparing now.
A dream is not a dream, nor is it just a dream
For dreams that cannot be realized, most people attribute the reality to be too cruel, and there are many foreseeable and unforeseeable things that bind themselves.
When I was 18 and went to college, I was asked what your dream was, and you said to travel around the world. When you finished college at the age of 22, you said you should find a job first; when your job was stable at the age of 26, you said you would wait until you bought a house; ;You have a child at the age of 30, and your words have changed to go when the child is older... In the end, you didn't go anywhere.
Because of practical problems of one kind or another, your dream has never been realized.In fact, the main reason why you didn't realize it is: you don't have the power to act.In fact, in this world, the only thing we can call the shots is the control over ourselves.As long as you want to go, you can act at any time.
During a certain period of time in college, I liked to listen to the promotion song of the stage play "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land": Allow me to look at you, I always look at you in my dreams every night.Later, I saw on Weibo that someone changed this sentence to: Dream, let me look at you, I always look at you in my dreams every night, and I will continue to move towards you after reading.
A young man from Beijing wanted to go to Berlin, Germany to see his girlfriend, so he chose to travel by "hitchhiking", traveling through more than 1.6 kilometers, 13 countries, across Asia and Europe, encountered some problems and met some strangers s help.In the end, the young man ran into his girlfriend on a square in Berlin and embraced her tightly.
This incident was not only recorded as a documentary broadcast on Travel Satellite TV, but also published a book "Hitchhiking to Berlin" because of this special experience.When some people admired the young man's stamina and perseverance, and lamented the greatness of love, the young man said: "Some things, if you don't do it now, you will never do it."
So, when you feel why painters paint so well; when you feel why writers can write works that make people cry; Put down your computer, don’t chat on WeChat, don’t play games, don’t go to Douban, Renren, don’t check Weibo, pick up a pen and paper or pick up a book, write seriously, and read seriously.
If you can't even do such a small thing, what is the dream?Dreams are not fantasies, let alone thinking about it.If thinking about it can bring achievements for yourself, then the world is really crazy.
If you are still a person who dares to dream, maybe at that moment, you are no longer mediocre.Dare to dream, stick to the dream, and pour it with sweat and painstaking efforts without distraction and determination, and the flower of the dream will surely bear fruit.You know, what others laugh at is never your dream, but your unworthy dream.If you are worthy, show your strength.
what have you done to live the life you imagined
A few days ago, I saw an article on Weibo. It started with a couple who had struggled in Beijing for 10 years and paid a down payment of 100 million yuan for a house.Then he talked about how the couple lived apart in two places, how to save food and clothing... Finally, the couple brought their parents from their hometown, and the family of four finally found a place to live in the huge Beijing city.
This article has been reposted by hundreds of thousands. Surprisingly, most people support such comments: "If I live like them, I might as well die." "I don't want to make myself so hard"...
At that time, I remembered a story my friend told me:
One of her classmates bought a house in the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing with the support of her family not long after she graduated.With the increase in housing prices, she sold the house two years later, added her own savings, and bought a house on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road.Three years later, she sold the house again and bought a house in the third ring road.At that time, she was already married, and many people advised her not to make such a fuss, but she thought, "If you don't change now, when will you wait."Later, she changed houses twice in succession.In the process of changing houses, she added a lot of money, but it was effortless.Every time she buys or sells a house, she reveals her shrewdness and diligence.Now, she has lived in Chaoyang District, and the market value of this house is more than ten times that of the first house.
When people around her marvel at how rich she is, she doesn't actually spend much.Compared with those who want to buy a house in the city center but usually spend a lot of money, it is much more reliable for her to make money and change houses step by step.
Some people may say that living like this is too tiring!But if you don't get tired, if you don't pay for life first, how will you get it in return?
Don't you want to live the life you imagined?Of course you will answer without hesitation: Yes.
In this world, there is no money earned for nothing, and no hard work paid for nothing.If you want to get something, you must first learn to give.
Larry is a 10-year-old boy who adores pilots.When he was older, this dream took root in his heart.
At the age of 18, Larry applied for the U.S. Air Force Academy, but unfortunately failed due to vision problems.In desperation, he diverted all his energy to the ground handling test. At the age of 19, he successfully got the admission notice of the U.S. Air Force Ground Handling School.Even the ground staff, he is very excited, because at least this can be a little closer to the dream in his heart.
Not long after the report, a bad news came from the family: my father passed away.Therefore, he had no choice but to drop out of school and manage a supermarket instead of his father to support the family.
In this way, Larry started a life of [-] or [-] years.After his mother died, he quit managing supermarkets and became a truck driver.
After becoming a truck driver, he started his dream of flying again.At around 3 o'clock every afternoon, as long as he doesn't drive, he will lie on a deck chair in the backyard, open a can of beer, watch the planes fly by, leave two trails of white smoke in the blue sky, and then slowly dispersed.
He muttered to himself: This is my dream, but I can't get on it anymore.As each day passed, he recalled more and more of his dreams. One day after 3 years, Larry heard a voice say to himself:
"Hi Larry, if you have a dream, you have to do something about it." (Hey, Larry, if you have a dream, you have to do something about it).
But what can a truck driver do for a dream?
Suddenly, Larry had a crazy idea and started to act.He bought large hydrogen balloons from a store, filled them with hydrogen, and strapped them to a deck chair.In order to keep the chair balanced and prevent the hydrogen balloon from flying away, he added some water bags and sandbags to the chair.
On a sunny afternoon, Larry fastened the 3 straps on the recliner, sat down on the recliner, and was ready to fly.On his body, there is also a backpack with some food in it.Of course, he also brought a gun, which can be used to burst the balloon after flying into the sky.When everything was ready, he took out a knife and started cutting the rope.
With a bang, the rope broke, and the balloon flew up with him.However, what he didn't expect was that the balloon rose rapidly and couldn't stop at all. He was a little scared. This was not what he imagined at all!Originally, he just wanted to fly up for a while, and immediately descend when he saw the high city, but now... Oh my god, he has already crossed the stratosphere and reached an altitude of about 3500 meters above the ground.He hurriedly turned on the radio, contacted the terminal building, and said, "Hurry up and get me down, I'm on the channel!"
The staff at the terminal smiled and hung up the radio.God knows, which lunatic is joking again.Soon, the passing pilots saw the "pilot" hanging by the balloon. They were shocked and contacted the radio station.
Under the guidance of the radio station, Larry used a gun to break the balloons one by one in a clockwise order, causing the balloons to slowly descend.Due to the slow descent, the whole process lasted more than two hours.It was a thrilling experience, and he couldn't believe that he was really a pilot.When a reporter interviewed this adventurous "hero" why he did this, he said: If you have a dream, always do something for it.
Later, Larry became a household name, and his story influenced many people, including the screenwriter of the movie "Up".
Although Larry's approach is not something we can emulate, but that sentence is very reasonable: if you have a dream, you have to do something for it.Each of us should pay and work hard for our dreams and our imagined life, so that we have the opportunity to make our dreams come true.
Don't seek false names, only seek practical knowledge
A false name is just a kind of gorgeous packaging, without real talent and learning, it can be fooled for a while, but not for a lifetime.A person should be indifferent, willing to be lonely, and devote himself to work and career. Only by suppressing personal desires for material things and fame to the minimum standard can the flower of the spirit bloom most perfectly.
A very knowledgeable middle-aged lawyer, after years of examinations, finally obtained the "lawyer qualification certificate", "lawyer's practice certificate", "senior paralegal certificate", "senior lawyer's practice certificate" and other certificates that can prove his noble status. Yang Yang, claiming that he is not a vain name, but has real talents and learning, can be armed with knowledge and has a three-inch tongue, and wins every lawsuit.
One summer, he used his vacation to go hunting in the countryside.He hit a bird, but unfortunately, the bird landed in the yard of a farmer's house.
The walls of this yard are made of fences. The lawyer saw that such a short wall could be stepped in by himself, so there was no need to inform the owner of the yard, so he stepped into the yard as soon as he lifted his foot, and Quickly pick up the bird he hit.At this moment, an old farmer drove a tractor, and he was the owner of the family.
When the old farmer saw someone entering his yard, he asked warily, "What do you do? Why do you want to break into a private house? What do you want to do?"
The lawyer replied, "I'm a lawyer, and a bird I shot fell into your yard, so I came in to get it, without any other bad intentions."
The old farmer replied: "This is my home. You entered my home without my permission. This is trespassing and breaking the law. You are a lawyer. Don't you understand this?"
The lawyer certainly understands this truth, but he was amused to hear an uneducated old farmer talk about the law, so he showed the four certificates he carried with him and said, "You country people, do you know that I am famous all over the country? Barrister! With my knowledge of the law, I can acquit the guilty and put the innocent in prison! If you won't let me take my bird, I'll sue you and find a charge, Put you in jail! I will do what I say!"
"Prosecute?" The old farmer laughed, "I can tell you are a foreigner when you hear it. You don't know that we have a rule called 'kick three times'. Why are you playing ridiculous lawsuits!"
The lawyer asked curiously: "What is the rule of 'three kicks'?"
The old farmer replied: "For example, as far as the dispute between us is concerned, because it happened in our family, I will kick you three times first, then you will kick me three times, and then I will kick you three times." Next, you kick me three more times, and repeat until one of them can't hold on and declares surrender. The person who declares surrender will naturally lose the lawsuit."
The lawyer thought to himself: It is not necessary to use eloquent sophistry to solve the lawsuit, but to use such a foolish and ridiculous method is really an eye-opener. I might as well cooperate with the local customs. This elderly farmer is definitely not my opponent in terms of physical strength.
Therefore, the lawyer did not carefully consider the logic of the old peasant's discourse, but agreed to follow the customs of the country and use this "three kicks" local rule to resolve their disputes.
At this time, the old farmer climbed out of the tractor, walked up to the lawyer, raised his foot, and kicked the lawyer's knee, and the latter fell to his knees with a plop.He kicked the lawyer in the stomach a second time, almost causing the lawyer to vomit out his last meal.He kicked the lawyer's ass for the third time, and the lawyer was lying on the ground, his face was in close contact with a pile of cow dung on the ground.
The lawyer struggled to get up from the ground, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said viciously: "Wait, old man, it's my turn now!"
The old farmer laughed and said, "Oh, no, I've run out of strength, I give up, and you can take your bird. You win, congratulations, brilliant barrister!"
The barrister, whose nose was bruised and swollen from the beating, stood there dumbfounded.I can't figure it out, but the knowledge I have and the several qualification certificates I carry with me are useless here.
"The reeds on the wall are top-heavy, light-footed and shallow-rooted; the bamboo shoots in the mountains have a sharp mouth, thick skin, and a hollow belly." This couplet is really penetrating and lifelike for those who have only false names but no real talents.
Sometimes it seems to be very useful to have a false name!However, the biggest name of a person is to have real talents and good qualities!This calmness cannot be replaced by any false name.
