The "Cai Xukuns", who gave up their daily salary of 208W, are selling buns at a stall

Yang Tianzhen once said: "Those children in the draft, standing on the stage in the last moments, may be the pinnacle of their lives." ”

In the years of the draft fever, some people were pushed to the top, Cai Xukun and Yang Transcendence have become popular idols from the hope of the whole village.

But there are also people who, after the night of fame, like water droplets rejoin the sea, fade the starlight, and disappear into the dust.

Not long ago, someone bumped into Xu Bingchao, a contestant of "Youth with You", selling buns at a stall.

He has harsh blonde hair, a pair of nasty sunglasses, and a fancy striped shirt, which is so delicate that it doesn't look like a steamed bun.

It wasn't until he admitted that it was his first business from scratch that everyone realized he wasn't joking.

After all, in our stereotype, the young man who stepped into the entertainment industry with half a foot would rather be the eighteenth line that pierced the center of the earth than return to the basics and be a bleak ordinary person.

Because being a star means glamorous and fame and fortune.

Hawkers, on the other hand, are considered to be unproductive to do hard work.

Therefore, Xu Bingchao "lives hard with his own hands every day, lives a full and happy life, and sees that customers like to eat their own buns, which is very fulfilling", this frankness and transparency make many people envious.

We often say that life is like climbing a mountain, everyone has been climbing up desperately all their lives, and they never want to stop.

Xu Bingchao took the initiative to choose to go down the mountain.

On the road to becoming a star, he worked hard and finally found that instead of spinning in a dead end, it was better to put down his body and start on a new track.

In 2017, he won the model contest held by fashion magazines;

In 2018, he appeared as a model at the spring/summer fashion weeks in London, Milan and Paris;

In 2019, he participated in "Youth with You" and stopped in the top 20, and in the same year, he established the desert five-son group to debut, and released a solo album;

In 2020, he tried to transform into an actor again, playing soy sauce in some online dramas that no one paid attention to.

It can be said that this is the experience of many idols who have survived in the small transparent period.

Get tickets to enter the scene through the draft, form a group with partners who have no enthusiasm, send some songs that no one listens to, and then go to the crew to shoot some scenes that no one watches, like winning the lottery and waiting for the opportunity to become popular.

There are many people who want to become famous overnight, but how many of them really love their acting careers and are willing to lie down and endure silent contributions?

We have seen too many traffic of dancing if you can't sing well, and acting if you can't dance well, obviously without the basic skills of acting, but you have to cut your feet to support the performance.

If you only want to become a star, but you don't really like the job at all, the consequence is nothing more than the defeat of both yourself and the audience.

Without passion and dedication, practitioners who dare to lip-synch, paddle, and can't even say the lines will emerge one after another, and even desperate illiteracy who cannot understand the meaning of the role has appeared.

In fact, taking a road that is not suitable for you, even if this is a flower-filled road, if you support it, the future will be a dead end.

Like Xu Bingchao, he bravely chased his dream on the stage, but tried his best to find that his dream was out of reach, so it was better to push a cart to sell buns and live a full and comfortable life.

I don't think that being a star is superior, and I don't feel that being a hawker is inferior, which is not an open-minded attitude to life.

Who wouldn't want to have a job with more money and less close to home than physical work that requires wind and sun?

In recent years, whether it is a beaten worker who has been beaten by society or a college student who has not come out of an ivory tower, they all realize that the "iron rice bowl" is really fragrant.

As a result, they joined the army of the whimpering examiners, like carp crossing the river to compete for the scarce landing places.

But in this selection of one in a million, as long as a very small number of people can pass the level at one time, the rest will face a protracted test.

However, the end of the road that thousands of troops have to cross the canoe bridge to reach is probably not as beautiful as you imagined.

Everyone is looking forward to going ashore, but who can guarantee that they will swim ashore, not floating islands?

Searching for complaints on the Internet that work is better than death, three out of ten are people in the system.

The root of their pain is that the iron rice bowl they snatched through their heads is not suitable for them at all.

Although this job is stable and decent, if you enter the system not because you like it but because you want to lie flat, you will only end up in a quagmire of anxiety and pain.

Everyone wants to take a Yangguan Avenue that goes straight to the end.

But if the road warns you at the entrance that it is not suitable to enter, then even if it is a smooth road, it will turn off all the lights on you and make it difficult for you to walk.

There is a mantra among the workers, "Money is hard to earn, is hard to eat".

In fact, what is more difficult than earning money is to gain peace and happiness at work and stop unnecessary mental internal friction.

On Weibo, there are workers wailing every three to five, saying that when they say that nothing is more, they will burst with vanity when they see the brightly lit CBD, and they will fantasize about growing up and entering and exiting skyscrapers in high spirits, sighing coffee overlooking the traffic.

After work, I learned that not everyone who enters and exits the office building is a refined urban beauty, but more is a complaining overtime dog sitting in the cubicle.

There are some truths that only stress-torn professionals understand: at least we need to be happy at all times.

There is a girl who resigned from an Internet giant to sell fast food, but her happiness has infected thousands of netizens.

She gave up her job of saying that she had a lot of face, and every day was to buy vegetables, wash vegetables, cut vegetables, stir-fry vegetables, and wash dishes.

Separated from the company, she did not have to write a lot of reports, did not have to carry KPIs, did not have to force socializing, only needed to repeat simple manual labor, but she achieved unprecedented peace.

Is selling fast food a failure?

She doesn't care what others think, she is more satisfied with washing and stir-frying vegetables at this moment than sitting at a comfortable and bright desk with a badge that symbolizes success.

Some people may regret overkill, but at least at the moment, she has found an accurate anchor in the confused stage of life, which can allow her to find a moment of peace in the storm.

In fact, what industry are we going to engage in and what life are we going to live, isn't it like choosing a pair of shoes?

Some shoes are beautiful and gorgeous, but they don't fit, and no matter how hard you force it, you can't jump high and run far in it.

Only by wearing the right shoes can you walk like a fly on the journey to your destination.

Like Xu Bingchao mentioned at the beginning, there are also many people who see through the false name, come down from the draft stage, and return to their own tracks.

Dong Yanlei, who likes to face the camera, starts a live broadcast to sell supper, and in his small planet, he is still a shining big star.

Chen Yuyan, who can sing and dance, performs float dance at Disney, who said that she must debut to be glorious, she can also be a happy princess in the happiest place in the world.

Cai Zhengjie, who has a keen sense of fashion, works as a shopping guide in a trendy store, and there is not much difference between smiling at fans and saying hello to customers.

See, all roads lead to Rome, and when you no longer cling to dead ends, choose the right road and there will be a new world.

Life is so long, we will be busy working almost all our lives, and there are not many carefree days.

When life has been taken up most of the time by work, people at least don't go to work as sad as going to the grave.

There are not many blessings, I just hope that you can easily and calmly say when you leave work every day, today is also a happy day.
