There is a young man who works in an institution. The unit benefits are not bad, and his work is also idle. He writes materials and changes documents every day, and his life is calm. Ten years have passed, and the young man has made no achievements in his career except that he is a little fat. Compared with his classmates, he is almost underground. Young people are very depressed and don't know what the problem is.
One day, he met a college professor in the street and told him about his troubles. After hearing this, the professor was somewhat surprised. After all, he was once a brilliant student in the eyes of teachers and classmates, and it was really surprising that he became so commonplace. But when the professor listened to the young people's confidences, he immediately realized the root cause of his failure.
The professor asked: What do you do every day besides work? The young man replied:? Drink a little wine, play mahjong, play games and watch movies.
After listening, the professor didn't blame the young people too much, but said earnestly: Have you heard the story of sardine? The young man shook his head.
The professor went on to say: A long time ago, northern Europeans liked to eat sardines, but there were few fresh sardines for sale in the market. For this reason, sardines like to live in dense groups and like a quiet and balanced environment. During transportation, it is very easy to cause hypoxia, which causes most sardines to suffocate and die. To this end, fishermen have broken their brains and thought of many ways, but all of them have little effect. Later, an experienced fisherman came up with an idea. He put a catfish in the sardine tank. Catfish is active by nature. When it comes to a strange environment, it rushes from side to side and rubs around. When sardines saw the alien invasion, they felt very nervous and swam involuntarily to avoid it, thus ensuring the supply of oxygen and surviving effectively. ?
The young man listened and said:? This is indeed a good idea, but what does it have to do with my present situation? The professor smiled and said, You are like a sardine living in the sea, living comfortably and comfortably, without any pressure and worries, which makes you feel comfortable with the status quo. Although you want to make a difference, you are afraid of change, losing your existing life and facing all kinds of challenges. Over time, the edges and corners in your heart will be smoothed away. ?
The young man bowed his head in shame, and the professor's words completely touched his heart. Over the years, he has been marking time. On the one hand, he is eager for success, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to make any more efforts. Just like this, every day the monk bumps into a bell? Muddle along.
Seeing that young people have realized something, the professor continued:? In fact, people, like sardines, are inert. Without the stimulation of the external environment, even if they step into the abyss of death, they will not be aware of it at all. When people have a sense of urgency and a strong competitor, they will take active actions, constantly enrich themselves and constantly arm themselves, thus finding a new way out. ?
After listening to the professor, the young man finally understood everything. From then on, he no longer hesitated and complained, but used his spare time to constantly learn all kinds of knowledge and set himself a long-term goal. After many years, he became a famous designer.
