Chapter 10 Life can be cheap, but dreams are not (3)
We will complain, because our income may not be as good as the water delivery worker in summer or the courier on Double Eleven.As a white-collar worker, I wear neat and bright clothes, go in and out of high-end office buildings, and go shopping in luxurious shopping malls, but I am always reluctant to place an order.

We would complain because we rented a house outside Beijing’s third ring road or maybe the fourth and fifth ring roads or even further away, and we got up early every morning to squeeze the buses and subways and crowds of people to the city.Wake up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog, the air in the crowded subway is dirty and I am drowsy.

It seems that we are always complaining, feeling that we have suffered all the hardships, but we have never seen the dawn, and we have not seen the so-called bitterness.I happened to read Yuanzi's book "Seventeen Distant Places", and I was very curious about what kind of person Yuanzi was.He was deceived from Bei Piao, and couldn't get his wages. He was arranged to deceive elderly calligraphy lovers to ask for page fees in the magazine office.When things went wrong, he was still stationed in Beijing.But there, he wrote desperately, saving his own tear-jerking collection of essays.

I know quite a few people like Toko.

H is my college classmate.When I was a student, I wrote a lot of suspense novels and published a few books. After graduation, I took my girlfriend to the north.When I first arrived in Beijing, I joined a small film company as a screenwriter. I worked hard to save manuscripts. None of the manuscripts were made into movies. I relied on my meager income and the savings from writing novels to maintain my life and love.I thought I could make a movie with my book, but at the very moment the movie company went bankrupt.

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain, just when the film company closed down.The landlord came to check the room and found that there was a water leak upstairs that made the walls moldy.In a fit of rage, the landlord kicked him out.There was no room for negotiation, and even the deposit was not refunded.Lugging my own luggage, and relying on a manuscript fee I accidentally found from an earlier call, I stayed in a small hotel and continued to look for a job.After finding a new film company, he finally had enough money to rent an apartment.Later his script was made into a movie.Several films were released one after another.The boy who was once driven to the street, the boy who only carried his dream and love, can finally face those difficult years with a smile.

The little singer E is very handsome and kind-hearted.I interviewed him by chance, and learned that because of the problems of the agency, I couldn’t get more packaging. I had to work out, write songs, and deal with the media at the same time. I was my own agent to market my own products. dream.Although he had a hard time, he continued to release singles. After the interview that day, he smiled and said, when I release an album, I will give you one.

Whether it is A, H, E, or you, me, and others of all living beings, we are all a member of the torrent of this era.This generation is destined to find life on the go.It's not that life just made a joke for you, and you're not the only one facing difficulties in career, life, love and family.In this era of running, only if you also run, can you get rid of that self-pitying self.In fact, it is not only you and me, it is true for anyone in any era.

Isn't Jack Ma the new domestic "tall, rich and handsome"?Everyone is happy to be the men and women behind Ma Yun who are successful on Double Eleven and Double Twelve, but they have never thought about how Jack Ma got to where he is today.Ma Yun came out to work as an English teacher after graduating from university. At the same time, he also worked part-time as a tour guide, responsible for receiving foreign tour groups.Later, Ma Yun worked as the store manager of KFC, and finally one day, when the concept of the Internet was just sprouting, and everyone did not know or accept what the Internet was, he wanted to be the Internet.

Everyone opposed him, saying that there is no net at all, and there is no network.But he insisted on doing it.The China Yellow Pages he made became the original prototype of Alibaba.He said that he wanted to do e-commerce. Everyone said that it is impossible to do e-commerce in China. China has no bank payment system, and the integrity of the Chinese people is not suitable for online transactions.However, Ma Yun said that if there is no payment system, a payment system should be created. If the integrity mechanism needs to be tested, then a third-party fund escrow should be used.This is how Alipay came out.

If Jack Ma felt that the whole world was against him and denied him, he would have given up and stuck to his post as a university teacher, he would not be where he is today.If Ma Yun also expected to find a relaxed job with a lot of money, few things, and close to home, there would be no such thing as today’s Alibaba listing in the United States, setting off an online shopping spree around the world.

Is the legend of the Jack Ma era over?no, no.Each of us may face our own opportunities at all times, just like the foreign tourist who reminded Ma Yun when he was a tour guide.

Some time ago, the person in charge of a certain magazine in the company was about to be transferred, and it almost entered the stage of discussing who would take over as the editor-in-chief.Perhaps because I am usually more dedicated, the leader recommended me as one of the candidates to the executives.At that time, I felt very panic, whether I have the ability to stand up to that magazine, whether I have the ability to fully grasp the operation of a magazine, whether I have the ability to coordinate those editors who are older than myself to work with me... I thought a lot , made all kinds of good and bad plans.

Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, when life does not extend the olive branch of opportunity to us, we always complain that life deceives us, making us crowded in the subway in the morning, being mediocre screws, but when the opportunity is in front of us, we I also looked forward and backward and wondered whether I could withstand the pressure brought by this opportunity.Always dissatisfied, always hoping for a job with easier pay and better pay.

It's not that "life has deceived you", but that we are deceiving ourselves.

Whenever we are crowded in crowded subway stations, every face you can see, including yourself in the mirror, is not a hopeless screw, just like the butterfly effect, a key screw may change your whole life.

There has never been a free lunch in this world, and naturally there is no job with a lot of money and few things close to home, and there is no easy and comfortable life.

You perfunctory life, but say that life has failed you
If you don't work hard, don't expect life to give you unlimited success, because it is you who perfunctory life first, and life will give you matching feedback.

Every morning when you wake up, you first turn on the computer, then start to wash your hands with drowsy eyes, and then sit back on the bed and start playing games, such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, or DOTA... You forget which teaching building you have today.Play until noon, until hunger wakes you up, and your growling stomach takes you to the cafeteria. The afternoon class depends on your mood, whether you want to go or not.

Or invite three or five friends, a few girlfriends, to soak in KTV together every now and then.Under the dim light, singing, expressing emotions, and falling in love by the way, love is the most vigorous and craziest, and love seems to be the only way to be called youth.

Or sitting on the regular subway every day, dozing off on the subway, and checking Weibo and WeChat after waking up. It seems that if you don’t look at the world, you will be out of touch with the world. It seems that if you don’t post Weibo or WeChat, you will Forgotten by this world.After arriving at the company, I sat down, turned on the computer, opened QQ and browsed Taobao, as if I hadn’t done anything, and then got off work again.Repeating the five-day cycle one after another, looking forward to the coming of the weekend.

You may often chat with your friends, brag, talk about things, talk about what you want to do in the future, and even look down on who is arranged by your parents to enter a state-owned enterprise or a civil servant, thinking that they just hold a teacup, read the newspaper and wait for get off work. From now on, you can see the old, see a lifetime.It's just that you never thought that you are living the same life as them now.

Maybe you play games in the dormitory all day long, and when you see your roommate or classmate saying that you are going to the library to review, you will say, I will go, pretend what, and go back to the dormitory to play DOTA.Or if you see a classmate or friend of yours who was admitted to a graduate student in a certain prestigious school, you would say that he could have been admitted to a graduate student at × University. Wasn’t he worse than me in the college entrance examination?
It is said that a good man does not mention the courage of the past, and only those useless people look for the comfort of the present in the little achievements of the past, and even indulge in them, not thinking about what the future will be like.There is a school girl who is very beautiful. Some people may think that a beautiful girl can find a tall, rich and handsome boyfriend, so why work so hard.

She got up before dawn every morning, and posted a Weibo on Weibo: Good morning.She was saying good morning to herself, good morning to her dream.Then I reviewed IELTS intensively, did not rest during holidays, enrolled in training courses, and went to classes on weekends. This kind of life persisted for a whole year.

Maybe some people take the postgraduate entrance examination or go abroad, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and feel that they are working hard if they stick to getting up early for one or two days, but some people work harder than you.Get up early and study hard for a year almost without interruption.Not long ago, she told me that she was going to go abroad in about half a year.She is my school girl and one of my authors.I was joking, saying don't get picked up by foreign men.She smiled and said, don't miss me too much!
You may have seen so-and-so Internet celebrities or the beauties around you, and think they are beautiful, but it seems that there is only beauty.Living on a good skin all day long, I feel that other people are so beautiful that they are fake and ungrounded.If you are a girl, you will definitely say with a disdainful tone: Isn't it just beautiful!If you're a man, you probably admire that skin.

But you never thought of how her beauty came from!There is a beautiful friend Maodou, because of the acquaintance on the Internet, she is quite famous on the Internet, and she was even endorsed by a well-known brand as a runner.Everyone saw her beauty, but never saw the hard work and sweat she put in in the gym, how much sweat she shed on the treadmill, swimming pool, and bicycle.

You have not seen at all how much energy is hidden in her small body. When countless of us are stuck in bed and struggling with the warm blanket, she has already started running.5 km or 10 km per day.Time and again making headlines for marathons in various cities.

She is beautiful, healthy, beautiful, and worthy of yearning and love.Maybe you just saw how beautiful she was, maybe you just felt nothing more than that.But you don't see her beauty, how hard it is, her hard work is worth her beauty.

Maybe you see that your income is only two or three thousand, while other people's income can be tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.Why?Is he able to get such a high salary?If you think he can do it, you can definitely do it.It's just that I lacked such an opportunity.When you are born at the wrong time, give yourself a chance, maybe you can do better than him.

In the Internet age, we do not lack the ability to slander others, but we seem to have lost the ability to appreciate others.Here I want to tell a story about my good friend.He and I are classmates in the university, and we have a good relationship. He is very fat, and we all call him fat.Fatty is very eloquent, eloquent, and has strong comprehensive abilities in all aspects, but he is just an ordinary person, and he also feels inferior because of his figure.

After graduation, he applied for a job in a real estate company.This real estate company is quite famous.During the period after graduation, we had another friend who rented together.Because the place where I work is the closest, I just got a key from the landlord and put it in my hand.Every time they come back, I have to go and open the door for them.

In just over a year in the real estate company, Fatty has saved 30 million.Some people may say that he is just in the lucrative real estate industry.This industry is so profitable, who will have a low income?But everyone only saw his high income, but never saw him coming home from get off work at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. Every time I was woken up by his phone to open the door, it was so late.At that time, I believe that most of the peers who were in the workplace or struggling with their dreams had already fallen asleep, but he just got off work.

Everyone has their own dreams, but not everyone can use their dreams to spur themselves all the time.When we were young and the time was good, we chose to play games, fall in love, sing KTV, browse Weibo and Taobao, and choose a comfortable life. The dream is desperately ruthless.Choose to be comfortable, and doubt and slander other people's efforts with a fragile attitude of envy, jealousy and hatred. When others are fighting for their dreams and suffering for their dreams, but you say "I'll go, pretend what, and go back to play DOTA", you miss it. I have experienced the most rare life scenery, and my understanding of life and dreams is also superficial.

You have no reason to look down on others when others can study hard for a year and study abroad relying on ability, not money; Work hard until midnight, when you are asleep and he is still insisting on getting a high salary, you have no reason to look down on others.All your contempt is just the fear and paleness in your heart.

I know, you have dreams.But I don't know if you can really understand the sentence you are familiar with: "Heaven will send a great task to the people, and they must first suffer from their minds, their muscles and bones, their bodies and skins, their bodies, and their actions. for.When you feel that you are working hard, you think that there are more people working harder than you for their goals.Is it hard work to sort out information in the office?Is typing on the keyboard in an air-conditioned office building considered hard work?Can reading and studying be considered hard work?When you draw the bottom line of hard work too low, you are destined to draw yourself on the other side of your dream.

Life is guided by countless goals, large and small.When you fall asleep tired of the hard work of realizing your dreams again and again, you will be greeted by the sunshine after the wind and rain. You may be scarred, but the moment you see the sunshine, you should be ecstatic.Because it is not easy to stand on the way forward, you have made hardships, and you are worthy of the warmth of the sun.Maybe you missed the previous goals one by one, and there are still many goals to guide you on the road ahead. It doesn't matter where you are now, what matters is the way forward that your hardships guide you.

If you have ever dreamed of becoming a proud person, and you also hope to stand in the goal of your dreams, then you need to make efforts that others cannot match.

If you don't work hard, don't expect life to give you unlimited success, because it is you who perfunctory life first, and life will give you matching feedback.

When a person feels that the road under his feet is getting wider and wider, he has the opportunity to discover that it is such a beautiful thing to exist in this world.Time will not disappoint everyone who works hard. If you never forget, there will be echoes.
