We are all the same in the pursuit of our dreams

Chapter 6 Perseverance has invisible wings (5)
I created the female reading brand "Butterfly Season" in that company. From the publication of the first book with the "Butterfly Season" logo in January 2008 to December 1, in the five years, hundreds of books have been published. This book has also cultivated many original authors.My five years of youth bloomed in the "Butterfly Season", my hobbies and dreams sprouted and took root here, and I have a deep affection for the "Butterfly Season".

Therefore, when the new company offered me an olive branch several times, I hesitated.

On the one hand, I want to leave. I can't stand the company's default on author's payment. I hope to focus more on how to make a good book, instead of finding reasons for the company to default on author's payment.When I was an author myself, I was let down by a publishing house, and my original intention of entering the publishing industry was to benefit the author. Now that this situation has happened, I am very embarrassed.The authors work with me out of trust, and I can't live up to them.

On the one hand, I want to stay, not only because I am the founder of the brand and have feelings for it, but also because this job does not require shifts, and the pressure is not great, which is perfect for me who just gave birth.The new company is far away from home, and it takes more than two hours to travel back and forth every day, and it is close to eight o'clock when I get home from get off work, so I have very limited time to spend with my children.

The salary offered by the new company is not very attractive, and it is similar to the previous salary.At this time, my friends and family members advised me to stay, and when the company leaders learned that I was interested in leaving, they also offered me a salary increase in the coming year.Only the authors, as the victims of the arrears of manuscript fees, supported me to leave, saying that if I develop well in the new company, they will follow suit.

To be honest, I was really in a dilemma at the time, and it was hard to make a choice for a while.

But after weighing it again and again, I decided to accept the offer from the new company, but I made a request. I hope that I will not clock in and check in, and I will not be required to go to the company every day, and implement a flexible working system.

I made this request not because I am too lazy to go to the company, but because I hope that if I am too busy with my new job, I can have some time to take care of my family and spend time with my children.No matter how busy a workaholic is, he cannot ignore the growth of his child, after all, a child grows only once.

Although I enjoy flexible working hours in the new company, I actually work harder than before.Because I wanted to let those who disagreed with my leaving at that time, and even those who were cynical about my choice, understand that my choice was right.Later, it turned out that this was the case, and I gave myself a satisfactory answer in two years.

After hearing what I said, Su Jin seemed to understand something. She looked at me and said sincerely: "Sister Yajuan, I understand. I still have to make my own choice and not be swayed by other people's opinions. If I didn't Listening to my mother's suggestion to go back to my hometown, maybe I have made some achievements now. To be honest, I have quit the stable but boring job in my hometown, and I am going to do writing-related work again. My hobbies are here, and I Willing to water my dream with sweat, I think, I will succeed one day, just like you."

"If you mean success by following your heart and doing what you want, then I can be your role model; if you mean power, wealth, and status, I'm still far behind." I laughed, He continued, "Of course, if the latter kind of success is available, we will not refuse it. But I still think that no matter when and where, being a happy self and being able to choose the life you want is more important than the so-called success."

Life is like a test paper, there are many multiple choice questions, how to choose is up to you.Even if there is no standard answer to the multiple-choice questions in life, you must follow your heart when you choose, and if you regret less in the future, you will live up to this life.

Moreover, you will find that as long as you follow the choices you make in your heart, you will definitely work harder than ever, because you want to use actions to prove that your choice is correct.

When going uphill, you encounter the greatest resistance.

It is normal to feel tired and uncomfortable now, because you are going uphill, and you will not be tired until you go downhill.However, if you get through it, the will will be bright. If you bear more than others, you will gain more than others.

Miss Li is a man, so he got this nickname because he walks like a weak willow and supports the wind, and when he is molested by others, he often blushes first, and when he sees a snake, he will let out an "ah" scream that is more exaggerated than a girl.

He claims to have a woman's heart, delicate thoughts, and the pursuit of perfection.

Sometimes he is very humorous--

His wife asked him, "What do you like about me?"

He replied, "All of them."

His wife was dissatisfied, "The answer is too perfunctory."

He added: "All the faults."

His wife was delighted and moved, and asked with bright eyes: "Really? Why?"

He said solemnly: "Because you have no advantages."

His wife was on the verge of tears.

At the year-end summary, an editor said: "I have gone through many detours in my life, and finally found what I want to do most."

Ms. Li commented: "As a woman, it doesn't matter how many detours you take, as long as your husband is not a detour."

One time, Ms. Li and I were on a business trip together, and the plane landed suddenly. Ms. Li, who was sitting next to me, screamed suddenly, and then I was inexplicably infected by him, and I also screamed, which attracted the attention of others.

He described his feeling of sinking internal organs: "The child is about to be born!"

Sometimes he's venomous and imaginative—

The hand-painted crane was used by the designer for the cover, but Ms. Li frowned and said, "Is this a big white goose? It's the kind that has been wandering for a long time."

The editor and I said in unison: "How can there be? It's obviously a crane."

He made up the knife: "Seeing how fat it is, I have the urge to kill it and eat it."

The editor and I fainted instantly.

We once worked on a certain ancient saying book, and Ms. Li requested that the cover should reflect the feeling of lovers clinging to each other and never leaving each other, and there must be no people appearing, and two jade pendants should be used to express it.It is best for the two jade pendants to be flexible, as if a gust of wind blows and makes a ding sound, like whispers between lovers.

This is really difficult for painters and designers, because the cover not only needs to have a visual sense, but also needs to have a sense of movement, and people can hear the sound, which is simply too difficult!

At that time, Zheng complained: "It's better to write a big character between the two jade pendants - Ding!"

There are two pure white magnolia flowers on the cover of a book. He said in a daze, "The distance between these two flowers is a bit weird, just like the two legs of a man standing there."

Ms. Li's imagination is amazing to be able to associate magnolia flowers with men's legs!
Sometimes he's stingy—

One day he said to me sincerely: "Yajuan, I'll treat you to lunch!" I readily agreed.

Unexpectedly, when he checked out, he took out his pocket for a long time, only to realize that he didn't bring his wallet!
Do not bring such ah!Is it ethical to invite someone to dinner without bringing a wallet?
If I hadn't brought 100 yuan with me that day, I would have been taken hostage by the hotel.

When giving out red envelopes in the management group during Chinese New Year, everyone else gave out [-] yuan.He actually had the nerve to give out a ten-cent red envelope!The few of us saw the red envelopes and grabbed them excitedly, but we only got a few cents, but he made a smug expression there to show off his cuteness!His stinginess is outrageous!
But such a stingy person gave the company employees additional filial piety benefits in 2015, and gave [-] yuan a month to the parents of the employees.He said: "Although two hundred yuan is small, it may only exchange a bag of rice and a barrel of oil for parents every month, but it can send parents the warmth and concern of their children every month, and it can somewhat make up for the hard work outside. We can't go home often to see what we owe. All good deeds come first, and filial piety cannot wait!"

After getting along for a long time, I realized that Ms. Li is a multifaceted person. Humor, venomous tongue, stingy, and imaginative are only part of her.

I always believe that the encounter between people is based on fate, fate will appear immediately, and fate will disappear when it disappears.

When I met Ms. Li, I was in the bottleneck period of my career.At that time, I disagreed with the publishing philosophy of the original company leaders, and the women's reading brand I founded also began to decline.At this time, the HR director of the company where Ms. Li was the general manager offered me an olive branch.From the perspective of career, I want to catch it. I want to change the working environment to see if there is another possibility and whether I can break through the bottleneck of my career.But from a family point of view, I am a little hesitant.The original company didn’t need to work, and it was close to home. Xinbao’s child was just over one year old at the time, so it was more convenient for me to stay in the original company to take care of the family.

In the end, I made up my mind and was conquered by Ms. Li's eloquence.He said: "Life is short, ten years of youth have passed, and the next ten years are golden years for us. The age of 30 to 40 is the best time to develop a career. If you miss it, wait until the age of 40." Even if you want to change jobs, you won’t be able to.”
