Wherever you want to go, start now

Chapter 12 Time Will Respect Everyone's Efforts (2)
They later quit their jobs to pick up their teenage dreams that had been put on hold.Without a contract with a brokerage company, they have never been sad. One of the two boys is a songwriter, and the other is a part-time artist manager. The monotonous life is left behind.Today, they joked that they are eighteenth-line singers, but they stood on the stage and responded to the light sticks waving in the audience.

Change requires a lot of strength to fight against life.Maybe we fear change, but we still long for it.

Don't forget why you started because you've gone too far

The goal or dream of life can never be simply equated with money, just as happiness is not completely proportional to income.

Gibran has a poem: We already walked too far, down to we had forgotten why embarked. (We have walked too far, so that we have forgotten why we set off.) This sentence was adapted by the late CCTV director Chen Ma into: Don't forget why we started by going so far.

He and her have known each other since childhood, and they can be regarded as real childhood sweethearts.Little girls love to be pretty, and they love to wear white skirts and ponytails since they were young.But there is a popular game among boys, up skirts and braids, so every time she is played by boys, she will cry.Every time he goes to protect him.

He didn't study well, he was very naughty, and he would often copy her homework, as if it was an exchange.He protects her on campus and she helps her with her studies.

One day, she suddenly said to him, you can be my brother.Before he had time to deal with it, he was bought by the delicious food she stuffed, and he naturally acquiesced to the brother-sister relationship of his childhood sweetheart.

A long summer vacation passed, and they entered the same high school. The brother-sister relationship, in the eyes of the classmates, is not a brother-sister relationship but a love relationship.The jokes and suspicions of others kept them at a certain distance from each other.After thinking about it, they introduced them to others as girlfriends.It seems that the ambiguous vocabulary of girlfriends can answer the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, or the relationship between lovers above AUO and not satisfied.They also felt that it was impossible to be together as boyfriend and girlfriend.So they deliberately compare to see who will find a boyfriend and girlfriend first.

Later, they both had their own feelings.In private, they will communicate with each other what the other has done for themselves, compare and compare, and find that the so-called relationship is just such a thin experience.They all broke up, and they still cling to their good girlfriends all day long.

It wasn't until they entered university that they were separated by a certain distance in different schools in the same city, and they suddenly realized that not everything was as it seemed at the beginning. Holding each other's hands is like brothers and sisters holding each other's left hand and right hand.Later, they came together naturally, and they didn't feel ashamed as before.The university created the reasons and environment for them to fall in love from childhood sweethearts.

He is a very strong boy, with the general sense of responsibility of northern boys, and feels that he must try his best to do more to protect the girl he loves.

She likes Eason Chan.Just like all emotional girls, when they hear Eason Chan's sad lyrics, they will fall into it.Eason Chan came to their city for a concert.She told him that she really wanted to go to Eason Chan's concert.I missed it this time, and I don't know when the next time will be.

At that time, none of them had much money.They went to buy tickets, but the tickets priced at 280 yuan were sold out.They asked many friends and posted on many forums, but in the end they couldn't find anyone who refunded the ticket.The lowest price is 580 yuan.The two tickets add up to 1160 yuan, which is enough for his living expenses for a month.He loved her, and he finally borrowed money from his roommate in the dormitory, and accompanied her to Eason Chan's concert.

At the concert, Eason Chan thanked everyone for coming to his concert.He sang song by song, singing "Brothers and Sisters": Dear like two brothers and sisters / Love makes us hypocritical / I get comfort that doesn't help / You also get the chance to imitate loving someone.The song is full of sad emotions, but more or less it seems to sing their feelings from their childhood sweethearts to today, she looked at him and smiled.She leaned in his arms, and he stretched out his arms to hold her tightly.

She was so happy when she came back from the concert.He saw her happy, and he was also very happy.

After returning to school, she didn't see him for a while.And he, desperately looking for a part-time job, has to pay back the concert ticket money he borrowed from his classmates.One thousand, say more or less, say less.He distributes leaflets for others, and stops at the exhibition center or on the street for a day, and in the end he only gets one or two hundred yuan in exchange.

He worked hard to pay off his classmates' money, but he still didn't stop.Two concert tickets, skipping the 280 yuan ticket, 580 yuan is so difficult for him.He wants to make money, make more money, and make her happier. If she is willing, next time they will go to the price range of 1280 yuan or even more expensive.He didn't want her to sit in a far, far corner, and she could only see a small figure with a telescope.

He worked desperately to earn money.Every time she called him, he was busy, and every time she asked him out to meet, play and have a meal together, he always had no time.Gradually they quarreled.

She said, why are you always so busy that you don't even have time to see me?
He said, don't you know that I did all this for you?

She said, what I want is that you can accompany me well.

He said, without money, where is the capital to accompany and stay together?
They finally changed from "beloved like two brothers and sisters" to "the loved one is just as pathetic".They broke up in their senior year.The childhood sweethearts of many years, from the love they thought was impossible, to the end with a vigorous start and a hasty end. In "A Chinese Journey to the West", Fairy Zixia said: I guessed the beginning, but I can't guess the ending.

After they separated, they brought their graduation thesis, ended their campus life, and plunged into the rolling world of mortals.Work to earn money, consume limited youth in unlimited work.He entered a foreign company and started as an ordinary employee. In just three years, he worked overtime and worked hard day and night, and finally sat in the position of foreman.Wearing a suit, tie, and finally glasses, he went in and out of high-end office buildings.Sometimes I communicate with my boss and foreign businessmen in fluent English, just like those elite white-collar workers on TV.

His income has already broken through the million mark.

Suddenly one day, he received a call from her, saying that she was getting married.

He was silent.

She said, I thought about it for a long time, the quarrel between us during that time, you worked so hard to make money for me, I don't know if it was because of that concert.She said she knew that the tickets for that concert must have brought him a burden.It's just that when she was young at the time, she didn't think about that much at all, she was just immersed in happiness.She has been single for a long time after graduation, she has expectations to some extent, she is waiting for him, and feels that a happy life can be created by two people together.He never contacted her.Until later she met her current husband.

She is married.He didn't go, but he packed a red envelope: 1160 yuan.Ticket money for the concert.

When he talked about that story, he always emphasized that it was like a love story in an idol drama.

However, he understood a little too late.At first, I worked hard to earn money, and after paying back the money borrowed from my classmates, I fell into an endless tide of earning money.He didn't know that his behavior had quietly converted the happiness goal of wanting her to be happy into money.The goals or dreams in life can never be simply equated with money.Just as happiness is not completely proportional to income, many high-income people have fallen into a kind of loneliness, started to take drugs, started to gamble, and began to numb themselves in alcohol, using an extreme way to fill the money the emptiness.

Once on the train from Kaili, Guizhou to Chongqing, I met an uncle.He talked about his experience in Nepal.He took a few thousand yuan to Nepal, known as the happiest country.The Nepalese gave him a thumbs up and said big money.But their happiness has never been based on money, but on faith.Faith allows them to enjoy an ideal state of life.

His starting point is to build a rich life with her, and he can buy her a 1280 yuan or 1580 yuan ticket to the VIP area.That was the goal he believed in in love.But in the end, all he got was a rich life, but he lost her in the end.Starting out for her, to earn money, in the end the most tightly hugged became money, not happy love.

Chen Man's state during his lifetime was busy, but he was also positive.He said: Don't forget why we started because we have traveled so far.But in the relationship between him and her, in the life choices of many of us, we may have forgotten the original intention of starting out, and brought Gibran-style pessimism and sadness.

your hard work will be seen

Every obscure ugly duckling may not necessarily become a white swan, but every person who strives hard for his life goal, your efforts will definitely be seen by others.

A is an introverted girl.And B is a girl with a flamboyant personality.They are colleagues.

A has always been envious of girls like B, who are carefree all day long, and can always praise colleagues and leaders during casual conversations.It is easy to make a few jokes with the leader, and he can also tell the leader's clothes and collocations, and it is very natural to pull up the homework.Talk about where and what they ate last night, and share their experiences.Then they will exchange their clothing and perfume brands.

B's usual outfits are also very attractive.You can easily spot her in the crowd.

From A's point of view, the leader probably likes employees like girl B, who has strong work ability, can communicate like a friend, and is also pretty.Eloquent and well-dressed, it seems that everything is more shining and attractive than himself.

And A, introverted, doesn't like to talk, and has a little inferiority complex in his heart. He always feels particularly envious of those girls who can have both sides.She always bury her head in her work, bury her head in her work, and work overtime when she can't finish.

Occasionally, in the morning, I meet the leader in the elevator and want to say hello, but I don't know what to say.After thinking about it, the sentence "today's weather seems to be pretty good" held back in my mouth, I held it back in my stomach after thinking for a long time.He just smiled lightly, leaving inexplicable embarrassment.It's like you farted in the elevator. Although you tried your best to hold it back, there was still a slight sound in the end. There may be no smell, but everyone suppressed their disgust and knew it was you.The feeling of being on pins and needles made A particularly afraid of meeting the leader in a narrow space like an elevator.

Once, I met the leader again in the elevator, and there was B in the elevator. When A was thinking about how to speak, B had already chatted with the leader about where she saw a piece of clothing and a skirt yesterday.While she seemed relieved to be rescued, she was also very envious of B's ​​ability to easily do things that were too difficult for her.
