I once read an article about two country people who went out to work together, one to Beijing and one to Shanghai, but when they were waiting for the bus in the waiting room, they changed their minds. The people in the next seat said that the Shanghai people were smart, and they charged for directions; the Beijing people were simple, and they gave not only steamed buns but also old clothes to those who could not eat. Those who went to Shanghai thought, "It's better to go to Beijing, you can't earn money and you can't die of hunger, but fortunately you haven't arrived yet, otherwise you would fall into the fire. Those who went to Beijing thought, "It's better to go to Shanghai, you can earn money even if you give directions to people, what else can't you earn money? I'm lucky I haven't gotten on the bus yet, or else I lost a chance to get rich. So, they met at the ticket refund office. It turned out that the person who was going to Beijing got a ticket to Shanghai, and the person who was going to Shanghai got a ticket to Beijing.

The man who went to Beijing found that Beijing was really good, and he didn't do anything for a month when he first arrived there, and he was not hungry. Not only the space water in the bank lobby can be drunk for nothing, but also the snacks in the big shopping malls can be eaten for nothing.

People who go to Shanghai find that Shanghai is a city where you can get rich and make money doing anything. With the countryman's affection and knowledge of soil, he loaded ten construction sites with soil containing sand and leaves and sold it to people who had never seen soil and loved flowers in the name of flower pot soil. Every day he made six trips between the city and the suburbs, netting 50 yuan. A year later

The potting soil has allowed her to have a small storefront in Shanghai.

Perhaps it is not surprising to see that people who go to Beijing do not do anything, they are not hungry, thirsty, and live quite well; people who go to Shanghai do not bother much and also live quite well, also have their storefront. However, continue to look down.

In the perennial street, go to Shanghai people have a discovery, some stores floor bright signboard is black, an inquiry to know is responsible for cleaning company only please wash the floor and not responsible for washing the results of the signboard. He immediately seized this opportunity to buy a man-ladder, buckets, and rags, and set up a small cleaning company, specializing in scrubbing signboards. Today, his company has 150 part-timers, and his business has grown to Nanjing and Hangzhou in Shanghai.

See here, you must be eager to know, what about the man who went to Beijing, how is it now? Don't worry, look below.

Soon, the one who went to Shanghai took a train to Beijing to investigate the cleaning market. At Beijing station, he was just about to get off when a ragpicker stuck his head into the soft sleeper car and asked him for an empty beer bottle. When the bottle was handed over, both of them were stumped because they had exchanged train tickets once before, five years ago.

From the point of view of discriminative materialism, because of their different worldviews, life off different, different ways of thinking, which directly affects whether people reflect the objective things correctly. Whether a person's purpose of life and attitude towards life is correct or not not only affects his life path but also affects the understanding of objective things. The countryman who intended to go to Beijing and then went to Shanghai had an aggressive and tenacious attitude towards life and set up an optimistic worldview, so he thought that going to Shanghai was a good way to get rich. The person who went to Beijing to go to Shanghai held a passive, complacent attitude towards life and established a worldview of being uncontested. Therefore, in his opinion, the choice to go to Shanghai is to jump into the fire, or Beijing is good - can not earn money, but also not starve.

I think no matter where you are, as long as you have the right attitude and grasp your life well, you will succeed; on the contrary, if you just want to be cheap and get something for nothing, I think such people will never succeed.
