You just need to go your own way.

Never take other people's maps to find your way.

I don't know if you've ever thought about this: looking at social networks, the bright and shiny life of others and their own bad life in stark contrast, as if others do not have to do anything, they have everything, while we work hard but just an ordinary person.

But have you ever thought that what we see is only the good side of others to show, and they pay behind all that we can not see, who can know out of the social network back to reality, they actually how to pay and work hard?

Everyone will make some complaints about their current life because people are always greedy, and never satisfied.

I have a friend who is such a person, he feels that his life sucks, he feels that his job is not decent enough, he feels that his wife is not pretty enough, he feels that his children are not smart enough ...... he feels disappointed and helpless about his life, he often uses alcohol to anesthetize himself and let himself escape from the real world.

Once in a tavern, he met a man, this person also often in the tavern to buy drunk, and gradually the two became familiar with it, after understanding, this person is very rich, the family is prominent, the family business is also very big, and he has a beautiful wife, two lovely children. My friend does not understand, this person has lived into my friend's ideal look, but this person still looks so troubled, and will also buy drunk night after night, my friend really can not understand, but through continued communication, my friend only knows, although the man lived into a lot of people's envy, his life is also full of depression everywhere, everything has restrictions, even his wife, is not his favorite woman, but for the expansion of business had to marry a woman they do not love, he seems to have been very successful, but everything he does is not what he truly likes, his real dream is to be an ordinary person ......

It turns out that behind each person and there is some unknown hard work and pay.

Everyone has to walk on the road that belongs to them, and other people's roads are no longer good enough to be relevant to us. Rea's life is not to copy other people's lives, but to live your own life practically.

We should not mess up our own pace because of other people's success, in a panic, we can easily lose our way, all we have to do is to walk firmly.

I have a college classmate who loves to paint, he can pay anything for painting, and he sometimes saves up his dinner money to spend on painting. He never bought new clothes and ate the cheapest burgers. Even though others did not agree with or understand his behavior, he never cared about what others thought because he felt that painting could make him feel very happy.

The final result of this student's work was that he was eventually rewarded with his work. When he was 30 years old, his paintings were appreciated by major artists, and he eventually won many international awards and opened his exhibition.

Why was he successful? It is because he never cared about other people's opinions and did not live under other people's eyes, he insisted on taking his path, even if everyone thought it was an impassable path, and it was his persistence that made him become a famous painter and live the life he liked.

In our short life, we just need to stick to our path, rather than blindly pursuing the footsteps of others, and there is no need to live in the eyes of others, in your life, you are the main character.

What we seek in this life is not to live better than others, but to pick up our map to find our way, and stick to it until the end, and try to live a good life of our own.
