Chapter 78 "Value Added" Life
If you can give each of your time a corresponding "value", your life can naturally "increase in value", but if you only have "age" but not the corresponding If you match the "value", your opportunities will become less and less, and you will irretrievably embark on a "downhill road" (a "road of no return") in life, until you are finally "eliminated" ruthlessly.Recently, when chatting with a few old friends, I always unconsciously touch on a topic-the issue of "future".Although including me, our group of people has already achieved a little achievement, and "mixed" to a senior executive position in their respective companies.But after all, the identity of the "wage earners" has not changed, and the age is gradually getting better, so life is becoming more and more "flustered", always afraid that "the big waves will wash the sand", and one day, sooner or later, I will be swept away by the "waves".

It would be miserable at that time, my identity of "the old and the young" has not changed, but I have been eliminated by the society, how will I live the rest of my life!Therefore, it is inevitable to have "nightmares" from time to time, and always have a cold sweat when waking up from the dream.Moreover, in our increasingly competitive and brutal society, it is not uncommon for such "nightmare" to become a reality.There are always people around us who lose their jobs when they reach middle age, and they themselves have no professional skills. In the end, their wives and children are separated, and they can only be the "duckweed" of a society. what's wrong.But then, I didn't panic anymore.Because I finally figured out a truth: If you want not to be eliminated by society, you must work hard to live a life of continuous "value-added".In fact, think about it carefully, why do we have a sense of crisis that we are afraid of being "eliminated" by society?The reason is because we waste too much of our extremely precious, "non-renewable" resource-time.

Playing around when we were young, we wasted a lot of time, and we didn't really start to get nervous until we were 40 or [-]: because we found that the job market was getting worse and worse for us.Looking at those recruitment advertisements marked with age restrictions, thinking that my age is getting closer and closer to the "limit" of others, I am really anxious all day long. I can only keep asking myself "Do I still have 'hope' for tomorrow?" But At the same time, we will also find that there are also a large number of people in this world who are "the older the more marketable" and "the older the more valuable", such as old doctors, old accountants, old teachers, old painters, old experts, old technicians... Compared with them, where is our gap?That is their "value" is "increasing" with time and age, whereas ours is not.why aren't weIt is because we do not give new "value" to all the passing time in our lives, so we waste time and life, and fail to continuously realize the "value-added" of life.

Therefore, our life is a life of "doing nothing".This kind of "inaction" is mainly manifested in two aspects: one is "doing nothing and being idle".The other is "it looks busy on the surface, but in fact it means not doing anything."Both of these "inaction" methods are extremely dangerous.Needless to say the danger of the former, the danger of the latter is even greater-on the surface, it seems that you are constantly busy with something every day, but what you do every day is simple and repetitive things, and there is no "quality" improvement and leap at all.But because I am busy and tired every day, I can always say to myself (or lie to myself): I have a good life and a fulfilling life, so I am quite satisfied.

Sadly, this kind of "enrichment" and "satisfaction" sometimes just becomes an excuse we use to cover up "laziness"-because we are unwilling to work hard and have "qualitative changes", we always want to change our ways. Make yourself "busy", so that you can cover up your true intentions of "laziness" and "unwillingness to make progress" through this meaningless "busyness".If a person can be "lazy" to such an extent (by lying to himself), he can be regarded as "lazy" to a certain level!Therefore, if you want to "add value" to your life, you must not always do what you "can do" repeatedly, and then use this "doing" to cover up your "laziness".You have to find ways to often challenge things that you "can't do" and strive to become "experts". Constantly increase the "new" value and create new "selling points" for yourself.

Of course, there will be people who use the value of "equity" to make excuses for their "inaction"-I like a life of "no competition with the world", and everything is "normal".That's right, if you are the only one in this world, you can think and act like this.But, don't forget, you are not alone in this world, even if you want to "stay" in your own seat, others may not let you do so.There are a large group of people "staring" at your seat. If you don't move forward, you will definitely be robbed of your job by others.No way, this world is so cruel—survival of the fittest and survival of the weak are the basic laws of all nature.This is the principle of "if you don't advance, you will retreat".There is no "middle".

If you want to survive in this society, you must constantly "move forward" and strive to achieve "added value" in life.If you can't achieve "value-added", your life will inevitably "depreciate".Don't fantasize about "preservation of value", "preservation of value" does not exist.But there is no need to be too scared.As the saying goes, "I am born to be useful", people live not to "stand still", such a life must be very boring and boring, and I am ashamed of my parents who brought me into this world; people live to "move "Get up, so you have to "toss", you have to "get tricks", you have to keep coming up with new "moths", and it is wonderful to live life with gusto, and it is not in vain!To put it bluntly, the life that can really "add value" must be the kind of life that is "exciting", "exciting", and constantly has new "moths".This is like the excitement and excitement brought to us by the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes": at the beginning, the "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River" made us feel powerful enough, but later we found that "Mei Chaofeng" was even better, but In the end, compared with "evil in the east, poison in the west, the south emperor and the beggar in the north", these characters are simply "pediatrics".

But this is not over yet, the "hero" Jin Yong finally left us with a more exciting and shocking "foreshadowing" - the apprentice of the "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River", who was the "bottom" of kung fu, once had no hands The "foolish boy" Guo Jing, who is very powerful, actually became the "King of Kung Fu" in "Huashan Lunjian" and stood on the head of "Evil, West, Poison, South Emperor, and North Beggar".This kind of "suspense" emerges endlessly, with great waves, climaxes, and ups and downs. It is a truly "exciting" and "enjoyable" life, and it is also a life that can truly "appreciate" and "enduring". Life.So I never go to "fortune", not because I don't believe in these things (for the ancient Chinese "Book of Changes" culture, I have always been respectful and respectful), but because I don't want to know what the "future" will be so early, Such a life is not "exciting" and boring!It's like watching a long-awaited and wonderful movie. If you just watch the beginning, someone leans into your ear and insists on telling you what the "result" is, and see if you get angry.It's hard to live for a while, but I can't let the fortune teller "disturb".

Therefore, I must live it myself, and live it in different ways. Even if I can't live a "ups and downs" life, I must at least reject a "plain and watery" life.Not to mention forty, even at the age of 80, there are still some people who are willing to "please" and some people are willing to "use".This is a "worthy" life.

In my mind, the famous director Feng Xiaogang is such a typical person who can always realize the "value-added life" in a timely manner at critical moments—at every turning point in his life, he can always innovate "advancing with the times". New steps, so it can always bring surprises and freshness to everyone, so that everyone willingly buys him, and can't help but look forward to his next "transformation", and "can't stop" him.His story is the closest to the common people, so it resonates with everyone the most. At first, he could only "play" TV dramas, sketches, etc., and later he could make movies; at first, he could only shoot "comedy films" and "modern films", and later found that even "ancient costume films" and "martial arts films" can be played well, and later found that even "war films" can be so touching and shocking, people can hardly believe it. If you don't believe it was actually taken by Feng Xiaogang, you have to "admire him".But this is not the end, Director Feng's "innovative" desire and ability are far more than these, and even greater "surprise" and "stimulation" are yet to come-a "Tangshan Earthquake" was born out of nowhere, defeating thousands of people. The lacrimal glands of Chinese people.

It turns out that Director Feng, who seems to only be able to shoot "comedy", is also a master of "tragic films"!Many "celebrities" who debuted at the same time as Director Feng are now "calling the curtain" one by one, gradually fading out of people's vision and memory.But director Feng not only did not go downhill, but also "lived more vigorously", "lived more exciting", and more importantly, "the older the more valuable"-this is the real "live".Some people may be unconvinced and think that he is nothing special: isn't it just a little bit upright!It may not be true.But don't forget that people who have no personal "subjective efforts" but can always step on the right track don't exist in this world, unless "God" is asleep.Taking a step back, even if there are those extremely lucky people who occasionally get one or two "on point", they cannot always be so lucky.

Therefore, if someone is always able to "step on the spot", it still means that they have the ability, that they know where the "point" is and how to step on it, but you can't do these things, the difference between you It's here, it's that simple.In fact, if you think about it carefully, life can be a process of "the more you live, the more value-added".It's a lifetime, what others can do, you can do too.But why can't most people in this world do it?The reason is also very simple. These people lack strong "curiosity" about life, lack of "utilitarianism" and "ambition", as well as a "perseverance" tenacity, so they will inevitably "waste" time .

Originally, if you could give each of your time a corresponding "value", your life could have "added value" naturally, but if you wasted it, you could only reap "age".But I'm sorry, our world is very realistic. If you only have "age" but not "value" to match it, your chances will become less and less, and you will be irretrievably set foot on the ground. Go up the "downhill road" of life (a "road of no return"), until finally being ruthlessly "eliminated".Don't be too hypocritical, always want to talk about your values ​​of "no competition with the world".In fact, even if you really only want to live the life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely", you have to work hard in the "earthly world" to save enough for the construction of "Peach Blossom Spring".Otherwise, when you are really in your seventies and eighties and you still have to worry about three meals a day and run around for your livelihood, it may be difficult to have such "leisure and elegance".
