Youth! What are you putting up with?

Have you endured it?

Today, when a girl at Pricewaterhousecoopers my age, who has a higher education and is prettier than me, falls in front of people alive, I am not calm. 25 years old, youth!!

Countless people sighed and mourned, and so did I. I even felt gloomy for a few days. Miss Jie, who was also my good friend's senior sister, felt sad.

But why didn't she say anything! Why is a high fever on the boil, endure, stand, finally become meningitis, and then no... Think about ourselves. If it were you, me or him, would we do the same thing?

90% yes!

Because since childhood tolerance education!

Kindergarten, can't sleep to endure, rice is not delicious to endure, eggs choke to endure! No, no, no!

Primary school, class to go to the toilet, endure, endure to class to go to the toilet will be the teacher's eyes rolling! No, no, no!

Junior high school, every student regardless of physical fitness is good or bad, will follow the team run in the morning, do not fall behind, so fast run hard, slow with desperate! Ran back face is white, running every day with the grave. No, no, no!

High school, high school than who put out the light later, can not hold also want to hold! Cold, fever and cough all have to go to class, can not hold up must be the hospital to prove that you are dying to stop! No, no, no!

In college, the teacher is too bad to endure, the dormitory conditions are too bad to endure, the roommate is loud to endure, the canteen eats out strong to endure; Can't find a job to endure, depressed want to cry to endure, dare not say bad to endure, work too little money can only rent a basement to endure. No, no, no!

All this, did you have no no!

After 20 years of blow and blow, you still dare to speak? Do you still dare to disagree? Do you still dare to walk away with your bag and roll your eyes when the leader says no?

Back then, my sister's head teacher in grade four told her grandson's childhood anecdotes in class every day. My sister could not bear it anymore, so she stood up and asked the teacher to open the textbook. The result is that the teacher has never seen elder sister like this in his life, and then the living gas fainted, and then elder sister was forced to transfer! Then other students' parents arm in arm carrying the flower basket into my house, thank sister's feat for the whole class brought the Gospel of "change teacher". Elder sister to sacrifice me a happy spirit of forty, from now on to live after the transfer from place to place, cheat eat cheat drink day.

To this day, whenever the first primary school classmates get together, you always praise me today out pretty good! Elder sister is always very fierce pointing at them to scold: "Elder sister does not come out, who comes out, you this help the pussy forced!" So you all pay for me!

Through this matter, sister knew from a young age, can not bear the price is out!

Graduated, entered the society! When you are young, you hear a lot of complaints. Some people jump out of the fire and bravely live a new life. But this kind of person is usually worried by many people around him, or think that they are so unreliable!! Most people continue to complain in the furnace until they have survived the hard days outside the pavilion along the ancient road. The complaints are gone, but people have changed!

When I was twenty years old, I admired a big brother very much. At that time, I was in the prime of my life, young and ambitious, always so different. Time is a knife to kill a pig, today's big brother, has opened and closed mouth is money, talk to talk about all are houses and cars. Each time, he kept talking about how much he had bought his house and what he had changed his car to... Suddenly, sister think, who did not like one or two scumbags when they were young!

Purpose of education

It is well said that "the purpose of education is to encourage people to learn things they have never learned, to use tools they have never used, and to solve problems they have never encountered."

And our education, is to let us use great patience, 1+1=2 turned over the past torture of a whole semester, but also not let us manipulate the calculator such a quick tool. When we had learned everything, we were lucky enough to encounter a new problem, and our senior parents would immediately jump in and tell us, "According to experience, according to history, according to the rules of our ancestors, this is how it was solved... ."

So, we fucking believe it! And vow in the heart, feel learned the valuable experience of elders! And never think, is this what it is?

The Times are progressing, the society is developing, but the solution to the problem is always a long time ago, such a society is not reincarnation is what?

If a society goes on forever, what is the new spirit? New fashion? New ideas? A new touch?

Elders always say: to be a reliable person!

But sister think: as long as the limited spectrum on the key place can be! Don't lean on it every day. It's so fucking tiring!

So, sister will become a what unreliable problem youth, once again out!!

So, when thousands of young people enter the workplace to be forged in the melting pot, hiss and make a painful sound, there will always be a lot of people beside you pressing your body, telling you: "Bear with it, in a few years, you can become an elite! You can put it in a glossy magazine as a career model!"

But do you really like those magazines, with all their stories of suffering?

Youth, please be a person who even you like yourself

Yesterday in class, a student asked me: "Mr. Zhao, how to become a fun person?"

I think it's about doing something as far away from your work as possible. If your job is IT, you can play photography, play music, play hip-hop can be, and the more deviated from your job, the more things you will play, the more you will become a very rare child.

Take the public welfare issue for example, I think it is very funny (maybe many people think I have a bad attitude). However, when the assistant changed the real money in my card into the smiling faces of children in class and the bright and beautiful pictures on it, I would think: "Real f * * king value" 800 yuan, a set of Mickey watercolor pens for every child in each grade, I immediately transferred 800 yuan to open up the second color classroom! As long as it's worth it, it's fun.

Who reads stories about successful women and elite men in the Business Magazine?

Who likes to read magazines with people in designer suits telling you the same thing every day?

Do you also like funny people?

Do you get a kick out of hearing about your friends being unreliable?

Do you want to be the new kid who can do it all and do it all?

Countless statements tell you to become an expert in your field so that you can have a say!

Countless books tell you that you are desperate to climb, so that you will be out!

Countless ads tell you that Starbucks in the morning, steak for lunch, and night out at the club with a girl is the awesome life!

But one day, you'll find that you have nothing new to talk about except your job

When you are thirty, what memories do you have of being twenty other than having some money?

Things aren't that bad

A lot of people think, well, a lot of things don't work that way. If you don't, you don't have a job, you don't have money, you don't have a life, you... .. Miserable to death... There are a lot of exam-oriented education classes.

When I first started working, during the economic crisis, I was the first person to be laid off. The other day, I was sitting on the toilet and asked my mom what would happen if I got fired?

My mother did not lift her head and said: "Then go home ah, rest and work again! Just eat and drink at home, you were not born to make money for the family!"

I carefully recalled a lot of details, usually when we stay in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, New York and other big cities, why are we so stressed?

Because the field of view is too small!

We always see the small group of people at the top of the spire, and try to climb up to become the small group of people, usually falling to our deaths halfway up the mountain, or retiring halfway up the mountain. However, a lot of times we deliberately do not give ourselves a back door, forcing ourselves to move forward, but there are many ways to move forward, but you only see that road, so you are more prone to stress, depression.

A lot of people will think, Lao Zi finally graduated in Beijing to find a cow force company ah, in case something goes wrong and is fired is too lose face! How can the brothers mix with each other in the future!

Even if sick, still insist, will feel that Lao Tzu does not insist, the rice bowl is gone, mom with the neighborhood after what praise I ah!

In fact, we are forcing ourselves to become Wall Street elite. No one is forcing us to become Wall Street elite. No one even cares if we can become Wall Street elite!

Just imagine, if we quit or get fired now because of something wrong at work, how much optimism do we have left to face the future? What are the chances that we're locked up in our little dark rooms wondering what to do with our lives?

Elder sister would like to shout: "The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big! The world is so big!"

So --

Youth, what are you enduring? The world is so big!
