Mo Yan once said that he was a late bloomer.
In 1955, Mo Yan was born into an ordinary peasant family in Gaomi, Shandong.
In 1976, Mo Yan joined the army, and during his 4 years as a librarian in the army, he read a large number of books on literature, history, philosophy and so on, which had a major impact on his later creations.
Until 1986, Mo Yan published the novella "Red Sorghum", which caused a sensation in the literary world.
Later, Zhang Yimou adapted it into a film of the same name, and also won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.
Since then, Mo Yan has been working tirelessly and tirelessly, writing many excellent works.
In 2012, Mo Yan successfully won the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first writer in mainland China to receive this honor.
Mo Yan's success does not rely on genius-like achievements, but on step-by-step diligent cultivation, from obscurity to fame, his road is slow and steady.
Mo Yan said:
"I wasn't mature enough, not sleek enough, not sophisticated enough. It doesn't matter, I'm just a late bloomer. ”
In the book "Late Maturing People", Mo Yan mentioned the characteristics of late maturing people, he believes that it is better for people to be late maturing, and premature maturity will consume a person's innocence.
People of good nature ripen late, and they are ripened by inferior people.
Later, although he was enlightened, he was still kind and sincere, constantly looking for the same kind, and finally became the loneliest one.
I think there must be such a category of people in life:
When I was young, I was stupid, whether it was for people or workplace struggles, I looked stupid and stupid, I couldn't understand the rules at all, and I couldn't see through the original, but I was still happy every day.
Slowly, after experiencing more and more human feelings, I have gradually opened up to understand the indifference and cruelty of this world.
But even so, they don't want to go with the flow, they always want to keep their innocent and kind side.
They firmly believe that according to their own way of life, they will find happiness, do not cater to and please, and they can also live a life that suits them.
This is the late maturing person.
Late-ripening people, generally simple and innocent, look silly, but stupid people have foolish blessings, and have human happiness that no one can take away.
If you're like that, don't be upset that you're not always enlightened.
Sometimes it's good to be silly and stay a little bit.
A person, in particular, wants to become something, but has never become something, then this and what has become something that he has been dreaming about all his life.
Everyone has deep attachments.
For example, when he was young, he wanted to become a painter, but he never had the opportunity to achieve it, so painting was his lifelong regret and pursuit.
Many parents always like to force their children to achieve what dream, in fact, that dream is just the parents' own unfulfilled regrets.
People are always very strange, they just like to compete with themselves.
Ungotten people, unfulfilled dreams, are originally things in the past, but they like to be entangled all the time.
Sometimes, letting go is a new birth.
This is the way things are in the world, no matter how high the mountain, there are birds flying over; no matter how dense the net, there are fish drilling through.
Zhuge Liang once said: Ambition should be high.
If a person aspires, he can stand taller.
No matter how ambitious the ambition, there are always people in the world who can achieve it, and there are always people who live the life of your dreams.
Don't despair when life is in trouble, you have to believe in yourself, believe that you can always live the life you want.
It's not that the ideal is unattainable, it's just that you haven't cultivated to that extent yet.
Human happiness is based on suffering, and beautiful things are beautiful because ugly things exist.
Happiness and pain are compared.
Without pain to compare, happiness is imperceptible.
The things of the world are afraid of setting off and comparing.
So, when you suffer, you think, this is temporary, how can you perceive ordinary happiness without experiencing this calamity?
Have not experienced hunger and will not understand the importance of food.
Have not experienced the storm, will not understand the plain happiness.
Have not experienced betrayal, will not understand the value of integrity.
If you have not suffered pain, you naturally do not know happiness.
Precocious people tend to bow their heads to the world, like ripe rice, tired of life, bent over;
Late ripening people are like pines in the mountains in winter, although their waists are bent, they are ready to go.
What exactly are precocious and late maturation?
Precocious people are exposed to too many people at an age that is not yet suitable, and prematurely realize the cruelty and indifference of society.
Such people will certainly be popular in the beginning because they are sleek and sensible.
But precocious puberty also consumes their hearts prematurely.
After ten or twenty years, they will feel tired, become negative about life and society, and rarely regenerate and be positive.
And what about late bloomers? When others are clever and clever, they are stupid and stupid, and they always seem particularly naïve.
But with the maturity of the mind and the increase of experience, people may not begin to mature until middle age.
But even if such people are mature, they will still have inner simplicity, still love life, and are willing to accumulate and precipitate.
The famous investor Xu Xiaoping once said:
"Often some simple people are more likely to succeed because they are not contaminated."
And Mo Yan's "Late Ripening People" is to tell us that even if people reach middle age, they must retain some innocence, and continue to love life, and constantly learn and innovate.
As the saying goes: good food is not afraid of late, good things should be more grinding.
Please give yourself a little more time, we have achieved nothing, maybe just late ripening.
When you constantly improve yourself and keep being positive, the wisdom of late maturity may be waiting for you ahead.
