The narrator said: Our old saying often says, "A leaf blinds the eyes, and one cannot see Mount Tai; two beans cover one's ears, and cannot hear the thunder." , The crickets don’t know the Spring and Autumn Period.” “Well frogs who cannot talk to the sea are bound to the void; summer insects who cannot talk to the ice are bound to the time; people who are bent cannot talk to the Tao, and are bound to the teachings.” All these show the world's contempt for those with short-sightedness and their admiration for those with long-term vision. Ye Yu, are you just trying to speak out for short-sighted people?
Ye Yu said: Are you able to come into contact with such a "wave of people" in your life? They were born in good families in big cities. They have been exposed to cutting-edge information since childhood, which broadened their horizons. We often say "all roads lead to Rome," but for this group of people, they were born in Rome. They had smooth sailing and fought high all the way. They reached the top of their lives as early as around the age of 25 and became famous. Their peak may be difficult for you to reach in your lifetime, but it only took them 25 years.
And when there really is a person at the same bottom next to you who dares to fight hard, dares to "don't bully young people who are poor", and succeeds in the end, then having one person who successfully turns over means that there are millions of salted fish who have not succeeded in turning over. , was beaten on the asphalt road, baked half-cooked by the sun, and died there stinking.
What I'm trying to say is don't be blinded by survivorship bias. I thought the world was so kind, so inspiring, so kind. And the reality I want to tell you is: this world may be kind, inspiring and benevolent to such a "group of people", but to you, life has always been malicious, decadent and cruel.
So are you envious of those people, so envious that you almost lose the motivation to move forward? So have you ever tossed and turned and stayed awake all night thinking about how you should spend your life?
I think you should be like me, a person with an ordinary background, lack of resources and background, trapped in fate and unable to escape. Perhaps we should also realize one thing. Most of us are destined not to be as successful as those great poets in history. The mediocre background in a small place determines that we must be narrow-minded and short-sighted in our 20s, dooming us to be years or even decades behind those of our peers with superior resources in big cities. This is a crime committed by God, not a human fault. That’s why I said before, should short-sighted people be laughed at? We often say that sins committed by God can be forgiven, but sins committed by oneself cannot be saved. But it’s obviously God who committed the crime, but why can’t we be forgiven and must we die?
We cannot complain about the parents who gave birth to us, complain that they did not provide us with the same good resources and environment as such a "group of people", or even say things like "Why did you give birth to me if you have no ability?" Because without them, you wouldn’t even have a chance to breathe air or speak here.
So if you despise and deny all those people who are short-sighted, then this is not considered another kind of narrow-sightedness. Our society lacks tolerance for the weak.
So we must learn to accept and tolerate, because it is not something we can decide. We have to accept that we have to endure a few more years, work harder, study a few more years, and focus a few more years. You can set your goal at the age of 35 to achieve what those talented people achieved at the age of 25. Look for opportunities to reach the top again when you are 45 or even 55 years old. We only have one option: to be a late bloomer, even if it is very, very late.
I have always felt that people should achieve something in their lives. This so-called achievement is not necessarily a car, a mansion or a wealthy person, but that a person should have an explanation for himself throughout his life. This explanation is achievement. At least in today's era of high pressure, anxiety, and irritability, I have the ability to give myself a little grace and relaxation, and give my loved ones a little shelter. Therefore, those who pick up garbage on the road and work at construction sites may have dropped out of school at a young age, whether they dropped out of school due to their own ignorance, or were forced to do so by their families, but this does not affect their efforts to make a living for their families. The image of running around, and that image is bright and worthy of respect.
Of course, if on this basis you can still have lofty dreams and pursuits in your heart and put them into action, then your life will not be a static and smelly stagnant water. It may be a life of great waves, and that will also be the case. It is a life of constant struggle.
So for myself, I hope my epitaph will read like this after my death: This person came from a mediocre background and failed to achieve his goals when he was young, but before he died, he had become a somewhat accomplished person.
The world is still undecided. You and I are both dark horses. We should not settle the world based on temporary gains and losses.
This sentence comes from "Cai Gen Tan" written by Hong Yingming of the Ming Dynasty. I give it to you so that you and I can encourage each other.
So the narrator fell silent
Ye Yu felt strange when the narrator didn't attack him this time, and said: "Narrator, what's wrong with you?"
The narrator said: I feel like you suddenly spoke so seriously today without criticizing me. I’m not used to it.
Ye Yu said: I don't like to troll people. You are just looking for trolls. What does it have to do with me?
. . .
Ye Yu said: There is no chapter 1166 here, but just look for it on WB. You can find me by searching the name of the novel. Just open WB and read it.
. . .
So let’s get back to the story
Zhao Xueqing asked Zhao Motong with a smile, "Sister, isn't it a pity that the engagement that grandpa mentioned is just gone?"
Zhao Motong glared at his sister Zhao Xueqing and said, "What's the pity? Seeing how you are gloating about your misfortune, go back and see how I deal with you."
Zhao Xueqing smiled and said: "But I think that guy named Wang Hai is not bad. He can take the initiative to cancel the things that grandpa and the others have decided, and he also takes the responsibility on him alone. He is responsible and responsible these days. There aren’t many people.”
Zhao Motong said: "If you think it's good, go ahead. Grandpa said that you are my second substitute. If you agree now, you can directly change to the heroine."
Zhao Xueqing said coquettishly: "I don't want it!"
Zhao Motong naturally heard Aunt Li talk about Zhao Xueqing being rescued by a man on the way, so she joked: "Oh, you have fallen in love with the young man who saved you, right?"
Zhao Xueqing's face turned red. After glaring at her sister, she turned to Aunt Li and asked, "Is it this person?"
Zhao Xueqing already knew that Wuling Hongguang, the man who saved her, had driven into Wang's Summer Resort. She originally wanted to go out and look for him, but unexpectedly, that man also appeared at the venue. I don’t know what identity he came in with, but it doesn’t matter, but I still need to confirm it just to be on the safe side, right?
