Are you really working on it?

All things in this world are equal, you don't work hard and think of a step to the top, don't dream, okay?

In this fast-paced society, it is difficult to find a person who is willing to listen to your grievances, willing to stop and see how well you are doing.

The girl sent me a private message, a long, long paragraph, saying that she is very stupid, in her second year of college, does not like the current professional, can not learn, does not have the talent to do anything, and can not find the point of interest, do not know where to start. But she also has ambition, not willing to spend her life in such a mediocre old age, she wants to earn a lot of money, wants to live a better life, and does not want to disappoint their parents full of confidence in themselves. She wants to know what can be done to change herself and become a better person.

The girl spends a large paragraph recounting her parents' expectations of her and the pain and suffering they put in to support that family.

Her mother works as a stock clerk in a supermarket and has to get up at six o'clock every morning, walk a long way to the supermarket to go to work, bring some leftovers to microwave at noon, and sometimes have to move large boxes of goods from the warehouse to the store.

Her dad is teaching in the remote countryside and can only come back once on the weekend and stay in school the rest of the time.

Her parents are frugal, but never less than the monthly living expenses they call her.

When I saw those sentences, my nose suddenly got sore and I couldn't help but think of my mom and dad.

Emotionally resonant, I smoothly clicked in to see the sister's microblogging, two hours ago, she sent a discussion about a certain star, three hours ago is about a spit on a certain Korean drama, as well as a variety of jokes paragraph, selfie ..... The number of tweets sent is 6000.

I'm not against sending microblogs, just that I'm a person who has been playing microblogs for three years and only sent a total of 600 articles, she sent 6000 articles.

She is not confused, she knows her situation, there are people she wants to guard, there are dreams she wants to defend, and she is not comfortable with blandness, but she is not willing to put in the effort.

I was a little sad for a moment. Is it not worth her effort for her parents to use half of their lives of tedious mediocrity and suffering to give her time to study quietly and not be bothered by material things?

I'm not against people watching Korean dramas, but I hate it when you yell out loud that your dream is still far away while spouting off about the unreasonable plot setting of "Descendants of the Sun".

I'm not against people using social software, but I resent you while swiping chatting, and sending friends to play selfies while saying that you can't find a way to make yourself better.

I'm not against people chasing after stars, but I can't stand it when you spend your parents' money to buy overpriced concert tickets while crying that you're not good enough to live up to your mom and dad's expectations.

All the things God gave you are marked, now you waste your youth for a moment of comfort, the future to pay back with half a lifetime of hard work.

(II)

Is it really hard to stop trying?

Many people know what they want, but also know that method to achieve the purpose, just can not take that step, will give themselves a lot of excuses, no talent, no perseverance, not interested .....

A Korean drama is an hour long, and generally speaking, there are almost 20 episodes, so after watching ten Korean dramas, you will use up a whole 200 hours.

This is not counting the time spent on Weibo, and WeChat tweeting about the drama, discussing the characters, and occasionally gossiping about the stars' private lives.

A game of matchmaking generally takes forty-five minutes, but of course, you don't just play one game.

Watching an episode of an entertainment variety show generally one or two hours, and you will also constantly brush microblogging, brush the circle of friends.

Look at a million words of network novels, how also have to use forty to fifty hours, of course, you have to be grateful to the author to give you this finished.

When it comes to this, many people must be opposed, saying that this is to enjoy life, this is the way of entertainment, to have the quality of life, can not live too rigid, otherwise, life is more boring ah.

Just I think, when you are young you should work hard to fight.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with liking a comfortable life, but if you are comfortable with blandness, you will not complain that such a life is too boring, farther and farther away from the dream you once had, and the people you want to guard are getting older and older.

Since you have chosen to live a comfortable and uneventful life in this bustling downtown, don't ask me where to go to reach the real road of dragon slaying and how to leave the world with an unreachable back.

In an hour at least you can memorize 30 words, ten Korean dramas 200 hours, and you can finish memorizing 6000, the level 4 exam is only about 4500 words, you are crying at the mouth that the levels 4 and 6 did not test, IELTS did not pass, life is too hard. But have you ever asked yourself, if you are really working hard, or just moved?

A lot ? f people get up in the morning and start to reflect on themselves, waste so much time, and say to themselves in their hearts that they must get up early tomorrow, only to forget what they said to themselves in the morning at eleven o'clock at night, and play with their cell phones and brush the microblogging to the wee hours of the night.

The fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money from the internet.

The fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time, and they've been in the business for a long time.

There is still a way out of life, and your life still has room to live, so you can still choose to live comfortably.

When you are forced by life to go out of the way, you can continue to watch Korean dramas, play games, and brush microblogging to read paragraphs of life.

In the movie "When Happiness Knocks", the main character is forced to go out of his way and has no place to live when he takes his son to sleep in the men's room of the subway station for the night. In the early hours of the morning, a passerby clanged on the door and wanted to come in to use the toilet. The hero covered his son's ears with one hand for fear of disturbing his son who was sleeping, while fearing that the door was smashed open.

Many people said they cried when they saw this scene, but I have no sympathy for the hero.

Why must you think about change only when you are desperate, and choose to be comfortable when the day is still possible.

The wife chose to leave and go to New York to find a new job, she loves him and his son but was crushed by life, working 16 hours a day, but can not even afford to pay the rent.

Even if he later opened his own securities company, he became a shining man, but again can not find a wife who loves him.

Yes, some people say that the worst end of our lives is just a late success, but I'm really afraid that at the moment we waste time waiting for a late success, we accidentally lost our most precious things, and can not even protect those who love us.

Who knows, tomorrow and the accident that comes first?

I can only hope that you grow up sooner, realize sooner, take up the burden of life sooner, and understand the meaning of hard work sooner.

When your parents are sick, you won't be embarrassed and afraid because you don't have money.

When you meet a girl you like, you will not be forced to give up love because of bread.

Life has never regretted this statement, just some things missed become irrevocable regret.

I'm so afraid that I'll end up being big and shiny when I stand in the crowd, and those people I want to guard are gone.

If you have the slightest bit of slack, it is a failure of love.
