To tell the truth, the efforts of ordinary people are really not necessarily useful. We ordinary people, even if the monthly income is 10000, we can't earn the start-up capital of the rich second generation without eating or drinking for ten lifetimes. But if you don't work hard, there is really no hope at all.
According to the research, the three factors of success include birth, luck and hard work. One of the most important factors is birth, followed by luck and finally hard work. Birth and luck are beyond our control. The only chance for ordinary people to make a comeback is to work hard.
Although success is difficult and the probability is small among ordinary people, it is not without opportunities. If a person feels that his life has been decided because he comes from the bottom and then gives up his efforts, then he gives up the only chance to make a comeback.
Confucius had a high school friend who once smiled and recalled to me that she was born in the mountains. When she was a child, she spent a day catching up with a party in villages and towns. Later, there was a road in the village, but there were no street lights, so high school was afraid to go back every weekend. When she was studying, her classmates always said to her, "What's the use of learning to die like that? The teachers here are so bad that we can't teach top students and get into a good school. "
Then she smiled and said that her name was "Cunxi", which means "promising". The reason why her father wants to give her this name is that she can go to college. Her father was very clever and did well in school when he was a child, but he dropped out of school because there was no money for him to study at home. Therefore, "going to college" has always been her father's heart. He is eager for his daughter to go to college. Don't ruin her future just because she is poor. Don't stay in the mountains all your life like him.
All the money she spent on school was peaches on the mountain, so peaches were the fruit she ate the most in the first twenty years. But she still cherishes this fruit, because when she sees it, she will think of her parents picking it hard in the mountains.
A few years ago, I was with her in Wuhan Normal University. She is obviously more confident than in high school, her eyes are no longer evasive and her smile is not bitter. Later, she was admitted to the graduate school of Sichuan University, and went to the university of top2 to study PhD. Recently, she had the opportunity to communicate abroad. She is one of the people I know who really change their destiny through hard work.
Although she told me later that she was still not confident when walking in the streets of Beijing, because she knew that anyone here could have struggled all his life and could not sit with him for tea. But no longer feel inferior, because when you have the ability to stand somewhere, you will be much more relaxed. This is her idea at this stage. As for what will happen in the future, those who have worked hard all the way out of the quagmire will surely take every step cautiously and wisely.
In fact, there is another view that life should be compared with increment, not stock. If compared with stocks, birth directly determines a person's life, and there is some despair. If it is more incremental, then ordinary people have at least a chance to join it and will not become marginal people.
Recently, a sentence has been echoing in my mind, which was said by a friend who worked hard in Beijing. "I understand that since the starting point is not high, we need to keep climbing on the road of life, and we need love and encouragement more when we are nameless and unprofitable."
