  Perhaps, most people, like me, in this awkward age, inner performance are very confused, impatient, anxious, wandering, and even fearful. The face of the people around, do not know how to get along with it, the face of the surrounding environment, you can say out disgusting to even look at their dinner table feast is difficult to swallow, the face of their own business, only with the utopia of that naive theory. Always keep in the wall, as for the rest, think about it all feel scared. So escape has become a permanent companion for the future.

  Before I graduated, I had many dreams. I wanted to travel to every mountain and ancient city in other places, and as long as I could catch my eye, I wanted to see them all alone. I thought, when I work stable, earn money, buy a car, buy a house, have these material things to meet their desire for reality. I thought about finding someone who suits me, having a crazy relationship with her, putting on the most beautiful wedding dress for her, then having a healthy child, forming a warm family, and then enjoying happiness in peace. I've thought about honoring my parents, taking them where they want to go, and helping them to fulfill the unfulfilled dreams of their youth. I have thought about helping those who need help, bringing them positive energy and a touch of warmth from the heart. What I thought was simple, but the complexity ahead, the confusion, kept holding me back, but it didn't matter, what I believed in was myself, you can do it.

  After graduation, every day at seven o'clock in the morning, seven o'clock in the evening home, has been laboring in their work, squeezed in the crowded bus, looking at a strange head, from the gap to vacate a trace of air, let yourself breathe hard. At the end of every month, take your paycheck and go buy a dress, eat a nice meal and treat yourself. I had been living in a single room and didn't dare to travel, let alone, fall in love, buy a house, buy a car and help others. But all of a sudden, I woke up. Must try to approach those dreams that make the current self afraid to approach. This document is dedicated to those who, like me, once had nothing.

  (1) want to seize a better opportunity, that is, the initiative.

  People who dare to think and people who dare not think are from two extremes of the population, the former to live a more fulfilling life than the latter, and people who dare to think are always pushing themselves in progress, they tend to say something that even the guys sound stunned by it.

  People with ideas never fall behind in spirit, because the spiritual wealth is enough to feed them, but in addition, you have to take action, so that you can create the greatest wealth belonging to you.

  No matter how ugly you view the world, and how dirty the pit is, how God treats everyone, I think it is fair, God gave you, you do not cherish, that is another thing.

  It's not that you don't have a chance. One such comparison: a man spent 26 years reading thousands of books, traveled to 26 countries, was proficient in 26 languages, and let him have a day without worrying about food, without worrying about clothes. Another person, after four years of college, professional classes often skip classes, either sleeping in class or playing hide in the dormitory playing game, degenerates for four years. After graduation, ushered in the days of opportunity, no ability to face the opportunity, but only to watch others take it away.

  Time can completely change a person, including character, ability, cultivation, and temperament. So you have to take the initiative, because the opportunity is prepared for those who like it, and in the premise of like, you must be able to harness it.

  (2) You have to believe that the world is fair

  After going to work, to save the daily four yuan bus fare, to get up half an hour earlier, afraid that the alarm clock set last night does not ring, so have to wake up several times to check the time, late for work, although late will not deduct money, still do not be late for the good. In the morning crowd in the bus to the company, a person does not know, so will not take seriously others standing together, looking at the outside scenery, thinking about the heart of the person, thinking about how to complete today's work, how to arrange tomorrow's work.

  Do not go to complain about the unfairness of society to you, you have to think, when you walk into McDonald's at that moment, how many other people kneel in the street begging for a living. When you are in the office blowing air conditioning, there are many people, in the wind and rain carrying a piece of the rubble wall panel. As long as you live well, healthy and happy, which is already the greatest social justice for you.

  (3) We will eventually return to the original point

  You want to travel alone, but you also want to get together with friends; you want to go to graduate school, but you want to work for a few years first; you want to memorize words for a few days, but you also want to participate in club activities. Sometimes, you ask yourself if you want too much. Your life is not too busy, you do not know what you want, do so much, is not just to give yourself some heart comfort, so that others seem, you are not much behind them.

  At that time, colleagues often ask me, how do you like to carry a shoulder bag to and from work every day ah? Whenever I heard people ask me this, I just smiled at them. Maybe it's special, maybe it's because of personality. When you are doing something, there will always be someone to talk to about you. I think it's normal, and slowly they get used to it.

  The reason for going to work with a backpack may be nostalgia for the student days or the desire to experience the life of a city traveler.

  (4) Let time separate us from each other

  There are always some people who will say that they have time next week to go and play with you, so you take it seriously. The weekend, she said, I have something here, can not leave, next week there is time to call you. So you believe it again. Then, bitterly looking forward to the words of that person, the result of the weekend has passed, not even a message received, not to mention her shadow. When the loss came, it turned out that it was you who took things too seriously.

  The first thing you need to do is to get in touch with the person you are thinking about, but you don't dare to contact her, so over time, the narcissistic you think that just thinking about her is a kind of happiness. However, pining is a unique pathology. You may forget that you had immense courage back then, and because of a small thing like this, it defeated you. Don't let yourself live in such pain, because another person I think is also struggling with the same tangle as you.

(5) Being young is a journey

  When no one believes in you, you can make yourself believe in yourself, belief in this thing, within your ability to do well. When there is no one around you, you can think alone, a person shopping, a person eating their favorite food. When there is no one to support you, you can give yourself a little encouragement to keep going, because, by insisting on doing it, you can let yourself grow up instantly. And don't feel afraid, make sure you feel solid, reliable, and safe.

  Every Saturday night, I go to see the fireworks once, and every Sunday afternoon, I also go climbing Mount Yuelu once, repeating every week, repeating every month. Because then in thinking, I should go to learn to think, learn to experience the life of the public, learn to exercise their bodies, in addition to being busy with work. Because only then can I bring myself a buffer to challenge myself tomorrow, and only then can I make myself live a real and meaningful life.

  Every day there is such a group of people, who are in the heart of many beautiful dreams, dreaming of a car, a house, money, a diamond ring. But they can only have a meager salary, while the daily fantasy has become their upward momentum, but they never forget to change themselves. Over time, the fantasy has become their greatest comfort, a year, two years, in the end, always return to the same place, the only change is the fading youth.

  (6) Adapt to all the things you have not adapted to

  I realized along the way that I had been accepting things that I did not like. There's no way around it, so adapt to all the things you don't adapt to. And try to do like it.

  In this world, no one is born a nobleman. Even if you are born a prince, is a thousand gold, but so what? All these things attached to you are not yours, and maybe one day they will all leave you.

  When I was young, my parents asked us if it was okay to send us to school to read and write. You said, yes. You thought school was fun and there were so many people your age at school. So happily, you agreed. After a while, you felt that there were always teachers who were tying up your freedom. You then ran home and followed your dad and mom and said, "I'm not going to school anymore. They asked you why you just don't go anymore. You said it wasn't fun. Under the sound of your dad's scolding without any reason, you still obediently went to school and stayed there for more than ten years.

  After growing up and adapting to the pace and lifestyle of school, you have to run to another adult space, society. When you fantasize about entering this space, you feel that you can finally be free. But when you look around you are busy looking for a job and making money, you are dumbfounded. It turns out that all this is not what we once imagined, when you were scolded by a leader, you still get a low salary to live a mediocre life. You begin to have an epiphany, it turns out that home is always better than school, school is always better than society, and childhood is always better than adulthood. And why, when we experience it, always feel it is so unremittingly humane. Early to adapt to those things you do not adapt to, is always good.

  (7) Feelings, no need to be deliberate

  When one is bored, one will walk from Xinghan Gate across the Xiangjiang River Bridge, all the way to Hexi University City, and then walk from the University City to Jinxiu Xiaoxiang. Perhaps others do not understand, a good car ride, why go to abuse themselves. Sometimes life is a constant struggle with their inner process.

  Perhaps to a certain age, some do not understand things, naturally understand; some do not want to accept the facts, but also slowly began to accept; some are too late to consider things, but also do not need to consider them. Choose to let nature take its course, more reliable than anything else. The power of time is that the earth is running, so your mind, from time to time, is following the time in walking together.

  Love, as you get older, you feel more and more untrustworthy and fall into a state of half-trust. And become more and more believe in affection, always feel the affection to go longer than love. Even if you don't see it for a few days, or even a few years, still others can't take his place. It is not the time to contact, is not the time to meet, it turns out that your a phone call, a text message, he took a bus from another city to the city you live in, the purpose is to see you, to accompany you to eat a meal, watch a movie just recently released, shopping for the previous two people used to shop the street corner.

  (8) Growing up, what it teaches you

  At the age of twenty-one, the world seems to be a blank, with no family, no friends, no lover around, the only thing left around is yourself. At that time, I wanted to travel, wanted to see the outside world, wanted to help those who needed help. But as a result, I didn't do it. Because my weak strength is not enough to support the gap between the ideal and reality, I must work hard, struggle hard, and try to get closer to them, which is what I have to do at the moment.

  Go to work at 8:30 in the morning and get off at 5:30 in the evening, because the rented room is too far from the company, so I have to go to squeeze the bus at 7:00, and the round trip takes me more than three hours every day. Spend eight dollars on bus fare, and the average daily salary at that time, was only a few dozen dollars, so this has always been a sore spot for me, but recall, will always think then you are really good.

  I'm not a writer, and I don't want to be a writer, I just like to live the life I want now, I can bury my head in the pile of books I like every day, and I can write words that resonate with me, I can do things that interest me, there is no deception here, no hypocrisy, no calculation, I just want to choose peacefully, and enjoy everything around me.

  A person to all things, all people, do not give wholeheartedly, either you prefer to be someone else's puppet, or I think most will not do so. So, you have to tell yourself to be strict, you have to collect yourself, you have to keep a low profile, not to mention all the secrets without reservation to another person to hear, this person may be your best friend, but also may be a person who does not understand you. This is not because I do not know how to share, but can not allow others to trample and pit dirty.

  (9) Youth, is not just an addiction, and then die

  Maybe, it will be because of a heartfelt love; maybe it will be because of a separate friendship; maybe, it is because of other people's blow to you, so that you instantly drop tears; maybe, you are tired of playing the rules of this world game, so you are no longer naive. Maybe ...... we have too many maybe's in our lives, precisely because, this or that a certain kind of maybe happened to you, so, youth is no longer there.

  The fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these. I don't know when to start, I no longer go in and out of KTV, no longer bar, no longer, and a group of the pressed road to the wee hours of the night party fooling around. I began to get tired of such a life because I always felt that such an age no longer belongs to me. These things should have belonged to those who were at the right time. And I am no longer. There is nothing about youth, it's just an addiction as I pass by the intersection of my life.
