When I was in college, my roommate was known as a "desperate samurai" in school.
In addition to classes, other spare time is used by him to work, doing various side jobs, promotion, and part-time work.
When others are shopping and watching movies, he is working part-time to earn money.
When others are playing games and messing around, he is working to earn money.
Even when others were sleeping, he was still working hard.
Once, a friend laughed at him, how did you work so hard and fall into the eyes of money?
He opened his mouth, trying to explain something, but ultimately didn't say anything.
In his freshman year, he received a call from home that his father had a heart problem and had to be admitted to the hospital.
So he rushed home overnight, and the hospital asked him to quickly find a way to raise money.
When he asked the hospital how much money it needed, the hospital gave it a cold number: two hundred thousand.
The roommate was born in a remote town in the northwest, and his parents were farmers with their backs to the sky facing the loess all their lives, and their ancestors had been shavings in the fields for generations.
Two hundred thousand is a huge amount of money for their family, the family simply can't come up with so much money, just going to college has already hollowed out his family.
In order to raise money, Ah Hao had to go door to door to borrow money from relatives and friends.
However, when relatives and friends heard about borrowing money, they were all kinds of prevarications, which were nothing more than disliking Ahao's family for being too poor, afraid that they would not be able to afford it.
The roommate was full of sadness after hearing this, but the situation was compelling, and Ah Hao had to bow his head and plead with people again and again.
At that moment, Ah Hao felt humbled into the dust.
He is also acutely aware that money can save lives at critical moments. If he had the financial conditions in his own family, he would not be so humble!
Therefore, during his college years, he worked hard and worked hard to make money, so that at some point in the future, he would not be as panicked and powerless as he was, like being in the cold of winter, and no one would help.
Some people say, why do we need to work hard?
The famous French philosopher Rousseau said that the money in our hands is a tool to maintain freedom.
The reason why we work so hard to make money is not how much we love money.
It's because we no longer want to face embarrassment and embarrassment because we don't have money, and we no longer want to see the cold eyes and ridicule of others.
At least with this basic guarantee, there is a freedom to remain independent.
In the TV series "I Am Yu Huanshui", we saw the figure of a humble migrant worker at the beginning, perhaps there was you and me in it.
Yu Huanshui, when he was a small clerk, he took a humble commission every month, not only had to face the reprimand of the boss.
Even his former apprentices didn't have much respect for him, just because his performance was not good.
When the apprentice's performance was good, Yu Huanshui wanted the apprentice to share the performance for him.
But what did the apprentice say?
He said, I think you are my master, but I can't raise you for a lifetime.
The apprentice obviously had extra performance, but he just wouldn't give it, preferring to put it there rather than give Yu Huanshui water.
Even when he left, he gave Yu Huanshui a remedy.
He said, this man hurt his leg is fine, don't hurt your brain.
After speaking, the whole company laughed, and Yu Huanshui stood on the side in a daze, full of confusion.
After many years of marriage, Yu Huanshui did not buy a car for his wife, not because he did not want to buy it, but because he was shy in his pocket.
Later, Yu Huanshui finally made up his mind and wanted to buy a car for his wife. He found his brother and wanted him to pay back the 130,000 he owed him.
The brother said yes, but in the blink of an eye he changed.
On this day, Yu Huanshui took his wife and son to choose a car. In order to have face in her mother's house, my wife also called back deliberately, saying that she would drive home for dinner when she picked up the car.
However, when it was time to pay the money, Yu Huanshui called his brother's phone, but he couldn't get through.
The wife angrily left with the child and made a fuss about divorcing Yu Huanshui.
Yu Huanshui waited for his brother for a day, but the brother said that the mobile phone was turned off and had no power, which was really embarrassing.
However, Yu Huanshui only wanted to return his 130,000, but the brothers were still looking for various excuses.
Yu Huanshui's life was too miserable, tragically unusual. The good brother teased him, the son looked down on him, and the wife divorced him.
Walking on the cool streets at night, Yu Huanshui seemed to be abandoned by the whole world, walking alone and empty.
Did we experience this scene at some point?
For the rich and powerful, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are nothing, but for an ordinary family, it is not a small expense.
After all, no one's money is blown down from the wind.
Those takeaway brothers who come and go in the wind and rain, get up early and greedy for darkness, work hard, not to make their families live better.
As the old saying goes, books are rarely used when they are used.
When you need to use money, it is difficult to walk without money, and life will teach you how to be a person.
When people reach middle age, hard work is the soberness of the world, which is more reliable than any rhetoric.
Don't give up, don't give up, hard work is king.
Life teaches us to be human, who learns to be strong while being hurt, to forget all those "impossible" excuses, and to stick to that one "possible" reason.
Effort should be a habit, not a whim, so that in the future you can have the confidence to say that what you get is never a fluke.
After all, the best preservation in the world is to keep improving and strive to become a better person, which is more important than anything.
