Life is a competition. Starting from elementary school where we "cannot lose at the starting line", we studied tirelessly. We compared grades, schools, and certificates. Finally, we walked into the society with higher education in hand, but we failed. I found that the society is very realistic. We don’t look at performance but look at performance. Without performance, there is no opportunity; we don’t look at hard work but at merit. Without merit, there is no status! So we discovered that in the adult world where everyone wants to win, someone always wins, but we always lose? Lost performance, lost opportunities, lost high income, lost social status! Faced with such fierce competition, some people complained about unfairness, and more young people became Buddhist youths and Taoist youths! But few people reflect and explore the essence behind the appearance!
The reason is that learning in student days, whether it is better than grades or certificates, has a stable backer to stand firm behind it, that is, parents, even if the grades are not good, they will still have food; Without a certificate, you still have clothes to wear; in short: you have a backer!
Entering society, parents are getting older, they are independent, and there is no way out. Facing competition, the experience is completely different!
Key point: It’s okay to have a backer, but not to be independent!
Competition fills every era of human society, and difficulties follow us everywhere. The key is our attitude:
1. In the face of competition and difficulties, I dare not! You don’t know, just say: I don’t dare! What opportunities we have lost! Opportunities are rare. Xu Sanduo worked hard to build a road in exchange for the opportunity to be transferred to the 7th Steel Company. If it weren't for squad leader Shi Jin, I wouldn't dare to say a word from him to bring him back to his original form in a minute! Society has developed to this day and is already in a state of excessive competition. Countries do not dare to compete and are marginalized by the world; companies do not dare to compete and will go bankrupt; individuals do not dare to compete and will never get ahead! In the face of competition and difficulties, we must first have the determination to dare to try. It is nothing more than failure, but it also adds a life experience of knowing that this is not feasible!
Key point: We were at the bottom, and we tried our best, but the result could only be better than now, not worse!
2. When faced with failure or difficulties, just say: I can’t do it! Deny yourself, and then escape into your own "tortoise shell", feeling negative and disappointed! Just like Xu Sanduo's hammer, the hammer is an opportunity, and Wu Liuyi is pressure. Do you dare? With all kinds of encouragement, he smashed the squad leader's hand, hid in the chariot and couldn't get out, and didn't dare to swing the hammer again. He just didn't dare to face his own failure! As everyone knows, I can’t say a word! How much responsibility has been shirked!
Don’t talk empty words, what is the value of being born as a human being? It is reflected in the size of the problem that can be solved.
Since it is a difficulty, it is determined that it cannot be solved overnight. It must require multiple attempts to solve it. Failure in attempts is to solve the problem, not to fail! Because of one failure, you deny yourself, and the result is that you are unable to recover and sink from then on! Just like Xu Sanduo, if he doesn't get out of the chariot, his real life will be over! Key point: failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the worthlessness after self-denial!
3. There are not many opportunities in life. A Harvard University survey report: On average, a person only has 7 opportunities to determine the direction of his life! Too young, unable to grasp; too old, unable to grasp, we have 5 opportunities left, in fact, as long as we can grasp one of them, it is enough to change our life! Just like the grain of sand in the eyes of Steel Seventh Company, Xu Sanduo, with an ordinary belly-circling bar, managed to achieve a complete series record, 333 times, which made him dizzy and turned a turning point in his life! Isn't life like this? Ten years of hard work has given us a high starting point to enter society. Opportunities are hard to come by. How much effort our parents have put into this and how much effort we have put in! When an opportunity comes, we don't dare to seize it and retreat; after failing once, I can't do it and give up; when the opportunity disappears, we end up living a life that we despise!
Under the premise of limited resources, world competition will only become more and more fierce. Just look at the game between the United States, Europe, China, and Russia; before there is a major breakthrough in basic science, products will not be the same. Qualification is becoming more and more serious, and the competition between enterprises will become more and more fierce. Just look at the news about Gree, Midea, and Oaks; at the moment when university education is universal, the competition for talents is unprecedentedly fierce. Just look at 2019 Just know that there are 8.34 million college graduates in the country! In an era, there are only so many opportunities. Don’t dare to seize them for fear of failure. No matter how high your education level or how much knowledge you have, it can’t change your fate of failure!
Some people say that I have worked hard for 20 years before I am qualified to sit with you and have a cup of coffee! Unfair! So it’s useless to compete! But, at least you have coffee in this life! This is the key!
The essence of Buddhist youth and Taoist youth is to give up competition after self-denial!
Although difficulties are difficult, opportunities to change the direction of life are often hidden in these difficulties;
Never abandon or give up is not only an attitude towards your comrades, but also towards your fellow soldiers. A highly condensed way to seize life’s opportunities!
