He was once a problem teenager who was "raised" in the eyes of his parents;
He once ran alone to Iraq, where guns were abound, just to make more money;
Now, back in Iraq, he has become a young entrepreneur who promotes international peace and exchanges.
Who is he?
How can it be so powerful?
I've always heard people say:
My current mediocrity is because I was too ignorant when I was young and took many detours.
In fact, who hasn't been young? Who hasn't taken a detour?
The real difference is:
- Some people climbed up on the bend;
- And some people simply lie flat.
Therefore, the strong become strong not because they do not make mistakes.
In the face of mistakes, they know better how to break the game, so that they can become better and better, and the days are getting smoother!
If you happen to be wandering around the road and can't find a way out, it is better to learn about the legend of this strongman.
See how he feathered into a butterfly, from a problem teenager who even his parents hated, to the pride of the whole village!
01 Lost
The protagonist of the story is named Bai Xiaobao.
Native to Shaanxi Province.
Like most children born in the countryside, when Bai Xiaobao was very young, his parents ran to the big city to work.
Only he and his brother were left in their hometown, relying on their grandparents for their lives.
Although, with the care of the elderly, the two brothers are still worry-free, but after all, they cannot replace the discipline of their parents.
Bai Xiaobao, who has no one to take care of his studies since he was a child, has always been at the bottom of the class.
Therefore, in order not to be looked down upon by others, Bai Xiaobao began to brush up on the sense of existence with "mischievous mischief".
So much so that later, as soon as someone said something "disrespectful to himself", his fist was waved:
You have to give them some "color to see"!
Coupled with the fact that he was tall and tall, Bai Xiaobao became a "bully" among local students.
Every time the teacher "has a please", the grandparents will not go to school immediately.
Instead, first rummage through boxes and cabinets to find money, even if it is to find relatives and neighbors to temporarily borrow.
In order to see the teacher, first pay the medical expenses, and then apologize, in order to calm things down.
The young and vigorous Bai Xiaobao naively thought that the fist could earn himself "dignity".
In fact, every time he causes trouble, it will make the life of the Bai family more and more difficult, and make the family's waist bar lower and lower...
It was not until his second year of junior high school that he clashed with his teacher in class.
Bai Xiaobao, who did not control his violent temper, actually injured the teacher!
"Either Bai Xiaobao is leaving, or I'm leaving!"
The intolerable teacher gave the school an ultimatum.
There is no doubt that the last to go is Bai Xiaobao.
"The eldest son of the Bai family was persuaded to resign from the school."
"How old is this, dare to do it with the teacher, this child is a waste."
In the hearts of relatives and neighbors, everyone believes that as long as Bai Xiaobao does not do anything harmful to society in the future, he will be Amitabha.
The parents also rushed back from the city.
They decided to take the brothers back to their side so that they could keep an eye on the "baby son" and stop the trouble.
At that time, no one was optimistic about Bai Xiaobao, and no one believed that this unlearned teenager could be reborn from the fire and become a veritable successful person, and was recognized and affirmed by countless well-known enterprises.
As the saying goes, the prodigal son does not change his head.
How easy is it to make the prodigal son turn back?
What happened to Bai Xiaobao's body?
02 Knowing the return
In Xi'an, Bai Xiaobao's father leaned on the side of the road to repair bicycles and support his family.
My mother got some small goods such as socks and underwear and sold them along the street.
A family of four, crammed into a cramped rental house, did not have a good life.
Looking at his eldest son, who had nothing to do all day, his father entrusted him to find a reason to work as a primary school apprentice in a barbershop.
As a result, after not studying for two months, Bai Xiaobao stopped doing it on the grounds of "not liking".
Later, fascinated by games, he ran to an Internet café to be a network manager.
All day long is not to recharge to play games, or to talk to friends about the mountains.
The days passed... Until one day, Bai Xiaobao suddenly felt that he was wasting his youth.
"Eat bitterly, be a good person!"
He must rely on his own ability to make some achievements, and he can't let others look down on him!
Therefore, Bai Xiaobao, who was ready to "suffer hardships", became a small worker on the construction site.
During the day, he sweated like rain and carried building materials non-stop.
It was even suspended in mid-air, plucking down the excess steel bars in the building little by little.
At night, Bai Xiaobao, who was exhausted, returned home and fell asleep.
I really eat the "bitterness" in place!
However, what can be done when such suffering is over?
"At best, it's a formal migrant worker."
Compared with Bai Xiaobao's goal of being a "man on top of others", this is really a bit far!
In fact, teenagers, who has not had the experience of walking into the detour over and over again?
- Sometimes, it is because of the youthful spirit;
- Sometimes, because of limited experience, it is impossible to see the future.
For a while I felt that Lao Tzu was unique in the world, and for a while I felt that I was a waste of firewood.
On the balance between ego and inferiority, sliding back and forth, it is always impossible to find a balance.
But fortunately, today's Bai Xiaobao has the support of his parents.
After knowing his son's thoughts, the father began to find someone to trust him.
Finally, he found a stable job for his son, which was also in line with his personality- an escort for the armed escort team.
You may have the impression that the escort is no different from a normal courier.
"But it's all about getting things to the designated location."
In fact, the escort team carries on its shoulders a highly risky security duty.
Everyone has to go through rigorous fully enclosed training.
Only by passing the assessment can you successfully take up your post and become a qualified escort.
After all, with the previous work experience, plus Bai Xiaobao really liked this job, so in the training, he worked extra hard.
- The instructor asked him to practice the movements 3 times, but he had to practice them 10 times.
- Every action and posture, he must buckle to the extreme, without the slightest ambiguity.
Not only that, he also won the favor of Professor Du Zhengao, who is known as the "father of Chinese military and police fighting".
This experience also laid an irreplaceable solid foundation for Bai Xiaobao's later development.
However, no one has a thousand days, and no flowers have a hundred days.
Just when the parents of the Bai family finally felt relieved, the second son had an accident again!
Speaking of the two brothers of the Bai family, it is really more than one that does not make people worry.
Like his older brother, his younger brother is also known as the "Little Bully" in the school.
Every day, he gets into trouble and fights with people everywhere.
As a result, in a dispute, because the shot was too heavy, the younger brother beat the other party into serious injuries, was sent to the juvenile detention center, and was sentenced to 6 and a half years in prison.
Overnight, the parents turned white.
Bai Xiaobao, who rushed back from the training camp, punched a big hole in the wall of the rental house.
But what's the use?
The sky of the White Family has collapsed.
Bai Xiaobao wanted to say a few words to comfort his parents, but found that he could not say anything.
Especially hearing a sentence from my mother:
"If the wheel doesn't turn, can it get wet with mud?!"
Yes, if it were not for his own "role model", his younger brother would not have gone astray.
Bai Xiaobao truly realized that it was he who had brought endless pain and misfortune to this family!
His heart was filled with endless guilt and regret.
He began to give up on himself, and every day in addition to getting himself drunk, he was looking for a place where no one was crying.
Finally, in the despair of "powerlessness", Bai Xiaobao made an unexpected decision:
I'm going to make a lot of money to make up for my mistakes!
03 North Drift
In this way, 21-year-old Bai Xiaobao, alone, went north and boarded the train to Beijing.
"Dad, Mom, you can rest assured, I will definitely make a look and give you two old faces!"
However, shouting slogans is easy.
Those who can make a name for themselves in Beijing either have high education or strong connections, or at least have an exclusive skill.
And Bai Xiaobao, he didn't account for anything.
Even when I arrived in Beijing, it was nothing more than a change of place to work at the bottom.
After several twists and turns, Bai Xiaobao found a job as a security guard in a nightclub.
Needless to say, the little salary that arrives every month is not spent at the end of the month, and it will be clean.
Just this, people still see that his physical condition is good, "out of the box".
"If this continues, don't say that people are getting ahead, survival is a problem!"
Bai Xiaobao was anxious in his heart.
He wants to use his skills quickly, earn money, and bring a good life to his family.
But the result? I can't even solve the problem of food and clothing.
Could it be that he is a waste of wood that no one wants to use?
Strong self-doubt once again lingered in Bai Xiaobao's heart, intensifying.
How to break?
A person can never earn money outside of cognition.
Although Bai Xiaobao had not read many books, he was quite hungry and thirsty in the face of knowledge and skills.
By chance, he learned that there was an organization that specialized in training people to be bodyguards.
"There, it is paramilitary closed training, training for more than ten hours a day, no smoking or drinking, and far away from all bad habits."
"There is no income, just eat and live, in short, hunger will not die."
You see, Bai Xiaobao, who was supposed to make a lot of money and make quick money, actually plunged into a training institution that did not have any income at all.
One stay is 3 years.
Why?
The so-called sharpening knife does not mistakenly cut wood.
According to Bai Xiaobao's conditions at that time, being a security guard of Moonlight was already the ceiling of the profession.
If you want to continue to develop, it is almost impossible.
Therefore, what he needs most at this time is not an opportunity to make a lot of money, but to further study himself and raise the ceiling.
It turns out that his move was the right move!
In less than 3 years, the instructor began to introduce Bai Xiaobao to the "going out mission": to escort the stars as an escort bodyguard.
Gradually, Bai Xiaobao also transformed from a problem teenager who could only fight to a qualified bodyguard who could communicate directly with stars in fluent foreign languages.
In this process, how much sweat he has shed, how much effort he has put in, I am afraid that even he can't count it.
However, the effort was worth it.
At that time, when Zhang Yimou began filming "Jinling Thirteen Chao", he needed a bodyguard to do security services for foreign movie stars.
Bai Xiaobao was fortunate to be selected.
At the end of the task, the instructor took out 30,000 yuan of salary and handed it to him.
Bai Xiaobao was stunned at that time——
"This money is mine?"
"Yes, the young man is doing a good job, feel free to take it!"
Fate finally lit a bright light on Bai Xiaobao's dark future road.
And for the first time, he also felt the meaning and value of his life.
So, isn't it good to go on like this?
How could Bai Xiaobao run to Iraq and exchange his life for money?
04 Edu
"With an annual salary of 1 million yuan, it is mainly responsible for the transportation and protection of important materials." Duty station: Iraq. ”
One day, in the bulletin board of the training institution, such a job advertisement was suddenly posted.
Many people looked at it, smiled and shook their heads, and left: "Isn't this just exchanging life for money, that ghost place, who goes?" ”
Only, Bai Xiaobao stopped.
That's 1 million, and if you send it home, you can give your parents a new house.
Even the living expenses of my brother after he was released from prison were also there.
What's more, the company will also provide the hired with a personal accident insurance worth 4 million yuan.
- In the eyes of others, there is a flood of dangers;
- And what Bai Xiaobao saw was the hope of light.
After careful consideration, Bai Xiaobao submitted an application for registration and successfully passed the entry selection.
"I knew iraq was at war, but I wasn't really afraid, or rather, I had no concept of death."
In Bai Xiaobao's heart, there was only one thought, that is:
Get ahead a day early, give an explanation to your family, and give yourself a peace of mind.
In this way, after a period of rigorous special training, 25-year-old Bai Xiaobao officially embarked on a journey to Iraq.
Before leaving, the company issued each person with an insurance policy worth 4 million yuan.
Without the slightest hesitation, in the insurance beneficiary column, Bai Xiaobao solemnly wrote down his mother's name.
"Only then did I really realize the danger of going, and it turned out that my life could still be worth so much money!"
Sure enough, as expected, just arrived in Iraq, Bai Xiaobao encountered "dismounted".
On the way from the airport to the camp, they met two groups of Iraqis unexpectedly.
And these two groups of people are fighting.
Outside the car window, gunshots "bang bang bang
Some of the bullets hit the body, and immediately, a depression appeared on the metal surface.
Feeling the "rain of bullets and bullets" at such a close distance, Bai Xiaobao was still the first time in his life.
"I pinched myself, it hurt! Turns out, these are all true! ”
When they reached their destination, the black driver told them to get out of the car, and Bai Xiaobao found that his hands and legs had been trembling uncontrollably.
It was thought that in such places, wearing a firearm was standard.
But who knew that after joining the company, Bai Xiaobao did not receive the gun for a long time!
After inquiring carefully, I learned that the original overseas security was also graded.
And he is the lowest level of "no gun".
Not only is the salary low, but only the gate can be watched in the camp.
"What's the difference between that and being a security guard at home?" But it's just a different place. ”
Bai Xiaobao, who did not want to take the "minimum guarantee", took the initiative to apply for field service after looking at the door for 3 months.
In this way, his income has tripled, and his annual salary has reached the expected 1 million.
However, with high incomes, there must be a multiplication of dangers.
Walk down the street and see everyone act like an attacker.
Often it is not known who is on the other side, and the two sides shoot first when they meet.
There are also humble passers-by who can easily put a cold gun on you or throw a grenade.
Even, Bai Xiaobao has seen an Iraqi child of about ten years old, holding a front automatic rifle, like playing with a beloved toy, shooting indiscriminately.
"The child pressed the gun with his body, and the technique was so skillful that it was shocking and really painful."
In the 4 years in Iraq, Bai Xiaobao rubbed shoulders with the god of death countless times, and also witnessed many comrades-in-arms falling in a pool of blood, their souls broken in a foreign land.
Until one time, he walked out of the air raid pit and wanted to smoke a cigarette to relax.
Suddenly, a cold gun directly knocked him to the ground.
When their companions saw this, they hurriedly covered Bai Xiaobao while pulling him back to safety.
"At that time, the feeling was that I couldn't kick up, and my chest was stuffy, like a knife, cutting my ribs in one fell swoop."
Thanks to the body armor protection, Bai Xiaobao was able to save his life.
However, his heart was severely injured and 3 ribs were broken.
Bai Xiaobao knew that his body was no longer suitable for this environment.
Moreover, the god of luck will not always take care of himself.
So, at the end of his contract, he submitted an application to return home.
After getting off the plane and standing on the crowded street, Bai Xiaobao felt as if he had suddenly crossed back from primitive society to modern civilization.
05 It's good to be alive
When Bai Xiaobao returned to his homeland, the first thing he did was to find a beef noodle restaurant and order a bowl of ramen noodles.
I took a big bite " .
Big tears slid down his face.
This iron man who was born in a foreign country and died for 4 years, has seen countless deaths and separations, and has not shed a single tear.
At this moment, like a child nestled in the arms of his mother, he let down all his guards, exposed all softness, and unleashed himself unscrupulously.
He said: Compared with people in the war, it is a very luxurious thing to live.
Later, Bai Xiaobao continued to work as a security consultant in China.
He has reached cooperation with many well-known entrepreneurs, under the guidance of the "Belt and Road", and has visited along the way, trying to find a better, national previous model of exchange and cooperation.
Subsequently, Bai Xiaobao founded his own security company.
He also changed his parents to a big house, helped his brother to start a family, and became a young entrepreneur who had seen the world and behaved decently in the eyes of relatives and friends.
Looking back at Bai Xiaobao's journey, there are actually only a few key points that play a decisive role.
- One is the shift from street hustle and bustle to breadwinners;
- The second is the transition from being only responsible for oneself to supporting the whole family;
- Finally, when he reached the professional ceiling, he could decisively abandon short-term interests and choose long-termism.
This choice not only raised his personal ability to a higher level, but also made the future counterattack road from impossible to possible.
In life, there is no detour in vain.
As long as it is not a dead end, there must be hope.
If you can always insist on discovering the beauty around you, do not give up, do not give up.
There will always be a certain field, striving for their own wonderful, get the flowers and applause in anticipation.
So, what is your view of Bai Xiaobao and his counterattack life?
