"At that time, I lost all my money in business, and near the Spring Festival, I didn't even have the travel expenses to go home.
I stood on the thirtieth floor that day, looking at the bustling crowd below, and really thought about it. ”
When he said this, Chen Liang snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and rubbed his unkempt hair.
"But I don't want to die now, I'm not even afraid of death, am I still afraid of living?"
The above small paragraph is really happening in life, and it is the true thoughts of one of my high school classmates when he entered the trough of life.
He has always been a person with great ambitions, so as soon as he graduated from college, he pulled a team of people and began a difficult entrepreneurial road.
At first, everything went smoothly, it was steadily improving, it could be that he worked hard enough, that he was good enough, or that he was lucky.
Anyway, in the past few years, he has made no less money, and the company has become larger and larger, from the grass desk team that did not even have a fixed office at the beginning, to the office building of hundreds of square meters and dozens of employees.
He bought a house, he bought a car, he became a family, he had children.
Less than a year after the establishment, he will have a successful career, a happy family, and a proper winner in life.
But the sky has unpredictable storms, people have bad luck, and the most uncontrollable thing in life is variables.
Everything he had accumulated over the years of hard work had been defeated in less than half a year.
Investments failed, partners rolled up money and ran away, the company went out of business, and huge debts were saddled.
The car was sold and the house was mortgaged.
What he was proud of collapsed in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
How can ordinary people withstand such ups and downs?
But the roof leaked during the overnight rain, and my father, who had been healthy, actually had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at this time, lying in the ward and dying.
Fate seemed to be able to torment him alone.
From the pride of heaven to the talk of others after dinner, falling from the clouds to the dust, it turned out that it was only a matter of a moment.

Mr. Lu Xun wrote such a sentence in "Remembering Liu and Zhenjun":
"A true warrior, dare to face the dripping blood, dare to face the bleak life."
When the Great Wall built brick by brick with blood and sweat collapsed in an instant, do we really have the courage to face life head-on?
Can you really fall from where you stand up, face failure, and accept it calmly?
Or is it that, like Chen Liang, he was devastated, retreated, and even wanted to jump from the thirtieth floor for a hundred years.
Of course, we all wish we were the first kind of people, but the latter seems to be the normal human condition.
Because education from childhood to adulthood tells us how to succeed, how to be a successful person, how to excel and stand out.
As for how to face failure, how to accept the impermanence of life, how to be a good ordinary person who may never succeed.
We know very little.
The only thing that is known about failure is that failure is the mother of success.
In the end, this sentence still tells you that as long as you persist, you will continue to fail, and the end will always succeed.
But things in the world are not all so inspirational, life is very bloody, and there are not so many cool stories of dick counterattack.
Yes, it's just the daily life of ordinary people.
Although we all had the ambition to soar in the sky and cross the sea to kill whales, most people eventually became ordinary people.
There may still be uncompromising dreams in our hearts, but we have to bow to the heavy reality.
So, what is the truth of life?
I've seen a foreign film before, and the first half tells the story of a waiter who fights back and becomes a boxing champion.
When I first watched it, I thought it was a cool movie, after all, a thirty-year-old woman, who had achieved nothing, and dreamed of becoming a boxing champion, how to look at it was delusional.
But who would have thought that her persistence really had results, that some coaches were touched by her, and that she was indeed a genius in boxing.
In this way, she walked onto the field as she wished, became famous in a battle, and stood on the podium as she wished.
But fate seemed to have made a huge joke with her, she had just reached the top, and when she turned back, it was a bottomless abyss.
In the brightest game of her life, she broke her neck, and everything was beautiful, and it came to an abrupt end.
Later, she was paralyzed and no longer had the courage to face life, and she chose to end her life.
At first I thought that this movie was to teach us not to give up and always succeed, but then I realized that this movie is going to teach us how to face a miserable life of failure.
It is what kind of mentality should be possessed after falling to the bottom.

We often say that love is separated, it is impossible to ask for it, it is resentful to hate, and life is really hard.
We are also always waiting, chasing, looking, eager to realize the value of our lives.
And a perfect life seems to be success in the worldly sense.
Beyond that, there is nowhere to go.
But in the movie "Eternity and One Day", the poet Alexander, who is suffering from cancer, tells us with his own experience that life is not only one way, and life should not be like this.
He was ambitious in his youth to change the world, and in middle age he also reached the pinnacle of his career.
But it was all at the expense of the tender moments of his life.
He didn't have time to respond to his wife's affection, didn't have the energy to take care of his elderly mother, or even pay too much attention to his daughter's development.
He dedicated his youth to the cause, and of course, the cause also gave him a rich reward.
But when he was suffering from cancer and his life was short, what he remembered and missed was the rare warmth of life.
Looking back, in addition to his debt, he is regret.
Even in the eyes of the world, he is already a successful person.
But at the last moment of his life, he repented, and he realized what a failed life he had lived.
He lacks nothing, but he lacks the courage to love.
He tried so hard to leave his mark at this time, only to find that he could not take anything away.
The river of time rushes forward, and the only thing we cannot lack is the courage and hope of love.
This kind of courage is not a shout, nor is it a charge, nor is it to climb to the top of the mountain to cut through thorns.
It is compassion for life, relief for life, and open-mindedness to no longer pursue perfection and success.
Where are there so many successful retirements, satisfied ambitions, and double harvests of family business?
Most of our lives are stretched thin, taking care of this and not caring about that.
Failure, unattainable, is just a problem that each of us has to face.
