If you are now confused, overwhelmed, and feel that the obstacles in life are really sad, you may wish to re-watch "The Shawshank Redemption". Especially now that we need to overcome the difficulties together.
As one writer once said, "Every powerful person has gritted his teeth and spent a period of time when no one helped, no one supported, and no one booed and asked for warmth." Past, this is your coming-of-age ceremony, can't go over, this is your bottomless pit. ”
Oh, yes! No one's life can be smooth sailing, and they will encounter setbacks and difficulties. And those of us who are in difficulty must know what to do when we are in the trough.
In fact, we all know that there is no obstacle in life that cannot be crossed, only the self that cannot be passed. It's like Andy in "The Shawshank Redemption", if he can't get through it, then there may be any hope, because at that time he really didn't have a chance.
However, he did not give up on himself because of this, and it was precisely because of his non-giving up that he would have the opportunity to turn over later. If he had been defeated at that time, he would have been greeted only by endless darkness.
For Andy, the year at the age of 30 is the dividing line of his life. One moment he was a vice president of a bank with a bright future, and the next second he was framed as a "murderer."
Although he did not do it, his fingerprints were scattered on the ground and the fragments of wine bottles, and he had no way to prove his innocence, and he was eventually sentenced to prison. Life suddenly falls from a high place to a low place. He wanted to justify but there was no hope.
After going through a series of events, he began to accept the fate of the arrangement, and he did not become hysterical like the others, but became more calm.
He began to use his expertise to help the warden and the guards, and he began to become a "model prisoner" and was transferred from the heavy lifting of washing clothes to the prison library. He was also placed in a single cell.
And all this was the beginning of his plan, which took him nearly twenty years of perseverance and hard work to finally dig a passage to the outside world, so that he regained his freedom and, before leaving, brought the real criminals to justice.
And it's all because he never gave up hope. If Andy had given up on himself at the beginning, there would have been no chance of success in the end.
As he says in his letter to Red at the end:
"Red, please remember that hope is a good thing, perhaps the best thing in the world, and good things never die."
Indeed, life is like this, and each of us may experience a dark period of time. But no matter how difficult it is, as long as we do not give up hope, then there is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome.
So why some people just can't get by, it's because he can't get by. It's like a popular Internet phrase "lie flat" some time ago. A setback or a low point in his life completely defeated him. In this way, even if there are more opportunities, he will not be able to grasp it.
Because he himself had given up hope, then there was no hope in his eyes. Therefore, on the road of our life, the more unhappy the time, the more we are in the trough of life, the more we must persevere and maintain hope. Only by persevering in this way and working hard can we see a better tomorrow.
It's as if there's a line in The Shawshank Redemption: "There are some things in this world that can't be carved in stone, and there's a place in our hearts that can't be locked, and that's a place called hope." ”
That is to say, as long as there is hope, then everything has time to change. You know, when we encounter setbacks and difficulties, the people who can bring us down can't do it except ourselves.
So, if we want to rise from the trough, all we have to do is accumulate our own strength. When the opportunity comes one day, it will be able to soar. The same bitter days, as long as we do not give up, we can also be bitter. There is nothing to be afraid of in a momentary setback, and it is a big deal to start all over again.
After all, there is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome, only oneself that cannot be overcome. So when we encounter a low point in life, the best way is to face him bravely, and when we are frustrated, don't be discouraged. At the trough, don't give up.
Believe that as long as you don't give up, as long as there is hope in your heart, your persistence and efforts will not be in vain, and you will eventually be able to break your life into a butterfly. Meet your own beauty.
