If we compare life to a stage, each of us has our own stage.
However, on this stage, most of the time it is only you, and it is the stage of you alone.
You are the absolute protagonist of this stage, and the people who come and go around you are your supporting roles.
If you do well, there will be more supporting roles; if you do poorly, there will be fewer supporting roles, or even none.
On a one-person stage, you have to get used to performing without applause.
Peony, before it blooms, is also an inconspicuous dead branch;
The creek is also hidden in the mountains before the rainy season comes;
Anyone who succeeds is a nameless person.
What you have to do is to sink your heart, face the difficulties, improve yourself, and strive to become the most dazzling protagonist on the stage.
1, silent efforts, just for a day to rise
When the baby fell to the ground, he cried out loudly and announced his arrival.
Growing up day by day, the tears are decreasing day by day, and you can't even remember when the last time you cried was.
Because the world doesn't believe in tears.
Bad grades, crying is useless; performance is not good, no one cares about your difficulties; too much pressure, but who has less pressure?
All sentient beings, the individual is as small as a grain of dust, and you must make yourself strong enough to be seen by others in order to maintain the aura of your protagonist.
In 1935, Jin Kemu, who only had a primary school education, was introduced to the library of Peking University to work, responsible for borrowing and returning books.
He watched those students come every day to borrow books and return books, and he also had the idea of reading.
But what books to read? The library is so big and there are so many books, where to start?
He watched the professors and students to see what books they borrowed, and then quietly wrote down the titles himself and secretly read them at night.
As time went on, Jin Kemu read more and more books.
Through self-study, he mastered English, French and other languages, and also made outstanding achievements in literature, history, astronomy, etc., becoming a generation of wizards, and was known as the "Four Elders of Yanyuan" together with Ji Xianlin, Zhang Zhongxing and Deng Guangming.
A person who has not gone to college becomes a university professor; a person who has no academic qualification becomes a master of linguistics.
His life, in the eyes of others, is a legendary life, in his own view is a life of hard work.
All effort will pay off, and if you feel there is no reward, keep working hard!
2, return to tranquility, is the foundation of life
You achieve a little achievement, naturally very proud, you want to be seen by more people, get the affirmation and appreciation of others, get flowers and applause, get the kind of condescending you want.
In fact, none of this matters, what matters is whether your achievements can be maintained, whether you still have a breakthrough, if you lie on the past credit book and sleep, your life stage will soon fade.
In fact, on the stage of life, there is no need for too much trouble.
All praise is temporary, just like athletes, winning a championship only means that you have worked hard, but there is no guarantee that you will still be a champion in the future.
Throughout his life, Jin Kemu was indifferent to fame and fortune, rarely talked about himself to the outside world, and rarely gave interviews.
In his later years, he lived in simplicity and focused on writing.
He has been a professor for more than 50 years, and he is full of peach and plum.
His demeanor and his legendary life are admired and relished.
His last words: "I came crying and walked away laughing." ”
Why go with a smile? Because he has played his life wonderfully, there are no regrets.
When your heart returns to peace and indifference, the applause of others is not important to you.
3. Final words
Most of us have an ordinary life, doomed to be free of applause and flowers.
But we still try to live and do our best for it.
In the ordinary life day after day, sighing at his own difficult setbacks and enjoying his own little happiness.
Without flowers, enjoy the whole spring; without applause, give applause to others.
Then take a firm step and go your own way.
