Behind the success are efforts and hardships that you never see

One of my Cousins has been out of college for a year, has had four different jobs, and recently left again. In the middle of the year, he took two months off.

I was surprised at his frequent change of work, he angrily said, the reason why so frequent change of work, because of their bad luck, has not met suitable for their work, meet not an appreciation of their Bole!

In short, the reason for leaving is either because the boss is harsh. After all, the boss is blind and does not appreciate his creativity, or because of interactions between colleagues and a bad working environment.

I asked, "What kind of job do you want?" He thought and said: "at least not too tired, every day in and out of high-grade office buildings, can often travel, the boss to the salary is very considerable..."

As my cousin gushed, I realized that I was not alone in meeting young people who felt the same way. Nowadays, some young people have a lot of ideas and like to emphasize their dreams.

When you see "Du Lala's Promotion", you will feel that foreign companies are really good, can access high-grade office buildings, speak fluent English, take a person to envy the salary;

When you watch Close Enemies, you think the investment banker is so handsome, drives a fancy car, strolls down the beach in Australia, and signs multimillion-dollar contracts.

When you see a subtle advertisement full of praise, you feel good marketing trend, can grasp the pulse of the market, indulge in their creativity;

When you see a real estate friend, every day and rich people in and out of a variety of high-end places, send a variety of wasteful microblogs, feel good to make money in real estate;

When you see an FMCG person traveling all over the world, staying in five-star hotels in various places, you think that FMCG is good scenery.

What I'm trying to say is that when you fall madly in love with that state of elation, but never realize that the state you dream of calling your dream, there's more to it than meets the eye.

Behind the scenes, you don't see the hard work they've done, you don't see the pain they've suffered. They have achieved unattainable glory only because they have worked harder than others. His hard work, his talent, his everything can stand the scrutiny of time.

And the experience of a friend of mine has never been more poignant. When my friend, Duoduo, was a senior majoring in art and design at a science and technology college, she was actively trying to find a job. Finally, upon graduation, she was hired by a glassware trading company.

But when she reported for work, she found her boss gave her the cold shoulder. The original chairman did not agree to recruit a full-time graphic design staff, as the general manager really can not find the right personnel, just chose her.

A few days after I started, a trade representative from an Australian company came to inspect the company. Two COMPANIES HAVE AN ORDER OF EXPORT OF GLASS WATER CUP OF MILLIONS OF YUAN BEFOREHAND, BUT THERE IS NO FINAL DECISION BECAUSE WATER CUP DOES NOT HAVE ANY DECORATIVE COLOR AND DESIGN, THEN THE BOSS TRIES TO GIVE THE design task TO BLOSSOMING.

Duoduo received this task at the beginning, the feeling seems to have a thousand jins heavy burden pressure himself, really gasp for breath. But Duo has a stubborn will, anything does not want to be left behind.

To prove myself, she had the best momentum. "If something is worth doing, do it well, no matter how much effort it takes," she said.

In sophomore year, blossoming art talent began to show. At that time, she made decorative paintings and earned thirty dollars a picture.

Half a year later, she saw her work in the painting and calligraphy market, the price exceeded 3,000 yuan. She directly complained about the employer's "black heart", but she also saw their value, also realized a career experience, is the key you have to have a "brush", which is a "diamond".

Now, although the task is difficult, Duoduo is determined to challenge herself. To start the preparatory work, Duoduo decided to start from the periphery. She first went to the company's reference room to read the history of the company's founding and understand its development process of the company. She seemed to realize the reason for the development of the company, and the corporate culture of the company flowed into her blood.

See tired, blossoming under the workshop to see each production process, see how the workers are produced; And to the Marketing Department, looking for salespeople to know what kind of cup sales, this order is how to sign in; Finally to the development department to see how the masters design.

The day passed without any success, and the evening was still full of her thoughts. She went online to check the production history, shapes, and patterns of various cups. Gradually, she seemed to be living in a world of cups. When she went to bed at night, her mind was still filled with cups.

Two days passed, and still, she did not write. On the third day, she searched the Internet for Australian local conditions and customs, aesthetic taste, culture and art, and advertising design, and slowly figured it out in the English web pages she found, and gradually got a little inspiration. Then she began to explore the use of computer design software and began the initial design. When a few sketches came out, she felt a little lacking.

She thought she couldn't make completely local samples; otherwise, why would they order from China instead of finding a manufacturer in their own country? China is an ancient civilization with extensive and profound history and culture. Chinese culture and art are most favored by the West. Therefore, Chinese elements should be integrated.

In this way, she also referred to Chinese traditional clothing, Hui-style architectural features, Olympic design, etc., to design some samples combining Chinese and Western.

During that week, Duoduo worked at least 18 hours a day. She's been doing this 24/7, so tired that her feet are swollen, her hips are numb, and her eyes hurt.

Finally, I selected five water cup patterns from hundreds of designs. After spreading to Australia, the customer was very satisfied with the samples she designed, and finally finalized the order of millions of yuan, and then doubled the order.

After the successful completion of this task, the boss of the little girl sits up and takes notice. Not only did it decide that she could stay, but it promoted her directly to Director of planning, responsible for the company's design work. The boss also told her that she could get an annual salary in the future.

Many of her fellow teachers and sisters were envious of her good luck, and her Alma mater asked her to introduce her experience. "Everyone has their dream, but your efforts should be worthy of your dream," she said.

Today is an impetuous age, everyone thinks that only quick success is the only standard of success. Yes, indeed, we often hear of so-and-so taking full honors from Cambridge or Harvard with ease; We will also hear that so-and-so seniors founded their own company just after graduation, making money day by day, and doing well in their career. In short, it looks like someone else's future is clear and bright, while your own is bleak.

The myths of legends, like thumbtacks glued to the back of our seats, prick our nerves when we relax a little. We suddenly feel that we are so ordinary, their dreams are so far out of reach. Looks are not outstanding, temperament is not elegant, grades are not top, family is not prominent, and the wrist is not smart. So we, and where to go.

You don't have to be discouraged at all, let alone discouraged. No one's youth is through the red carpet smiling, behind that successful bright figure, more efforts and hardships you have never seen.

Youth is a cruel experience, no matter how your life is now, it is not important, as long as you have a heart always upward, you are willing to do tough and progressive yourself. Since the dream of becoming that others can not reach their own, we should pay others who can not reach the efforts.
