Everyone has their own ideals, which is the compass of people in their life journey, the goal and motivation for them to strive for. In order to realize their ideals, some people choose the job they like, so that their life is full and comfortable. They plan their lives according to their own ideals, and they continue to work hard and struggle to finally achieve their ideals.
There are also those who have a huge gap between their ideals and reality. They may want to be a great musician but find that they are not very talented in music, or they may want to be a brilliant scientist but in reality they find that their academic abilities are not outstanding. These people, when faced with realistic setbacks and difficulties, may choose to give up their ideals.
Giving up ideals doesn't mean that these people are losers. Sometimes, people need to acknowledge their limitations and accept the imperfections of reality. They may choose other ideals that they are good at or have a better chance of achieving, or they may choose to work hard in their existing field and contribute to society. In any case, they should find joy and fulfillment in their lives to make their lives meaningful.
Li Xiang from Chengdu, Sichuan, is 41 years old this year, but his heart is still full of youthful passion and pursuit. When he was young, he was an out-and-out literary youth, full of desire for freedom and ideals. His dream life is to be a wandering singer, and the feeling of wandering, singing, and enjoying life at the same time deeply attracted him. In order to realize this dream, Li Xiang resolutely embarked on the road of a wandering singer. All he had was a backpack and a guitar, and that's all he had in life. He traveled from south to north, and every time he arrived in a new city, he would impress the people there with his singing. The prosperity of Beijing, the modernity of Shanghai, the liveliness of Guangzhou, the modernity of Shenzhen, the sunshine of Sanya, and the warmth of Kunming have all left his singing.
Although this kind of life is hard, Li Xiang has a very happy life. Because he knows that there are not many people like him who really live their ideal life. Many people end up giving up their ideals because of the pressures of reality and the trivialities of life. But Li Xiang didn't, he chose to persist and choose freedom.
Although he is a wandering singer, he does not feel like he is wandering. For him, every city is a new home, and every listener is a new friend. His singing voice is his language, and he uses it to express his emotions and ideals. In Li Xiang's singing, you can hear his love for life, his pursuit of ideals, and his desire for freedom. His singing voice is like a gust of wind, gently blowing through people's hearts, making people feel a sense of freedom and comfort that they have never felt before.
As the years passed, his wandering life seemed to have become a Xi. However, as he grew older, he began to think about his future. He realized that it was not a long-term solution to remain adrift like this. Thirty years old, for many, is an important turning point. At this age, many people start thinking about their careers, families, and lives. He is no exception. In the eyes of his family and friends, he was a talented, ambitious young man. They believe in his ability to find his place in this world and live a stable and happy life. His family began to arrange various blind dates and social activities for him, hoping that he could find a suitable partner as soon as possible and build a happy family.
Under the constant urging and arrangement of his family, he finally decided to settle down. After a period of getting along, he entered the palace of marriage with a kind and gentle girl. Their wedding was simple and warm, and the blessings of family and friends made them feel a strong sense of love, and getting married and having children does not mean the end of life, but a new beginning. He found that his life was more focused on family and responsibilities now than he was when he was single. He can no longer make decisions as casually as before, but needs to be more considerate of the feelings and needs of family members. He began to realize that his actions would have a profound impact on his family.
Over time, he gradually adapted to this new way of life. He learned how to balance work and family, and how to make time out of his busy life to spend with his family. He found that his family had brought him warmth and happiness like never before. Today, he has become the breadwinner of the family, providing material and moral support to his family. Although his life has changed drastically, he is still grateful for those wandering days. It was that experience that made him cherish everything he has now.
In the land of China, there is a kind of people, they are called wandering singers. They carry their guitars on their backs and travel through cities with their dreams, just to find the stage where their voices can fly. When you are single, such a life is full of romance and freedom, like poetry and distance. However, when life enters another stage, especially after having a family, such a choice is no longer just a personal ideal, but involves a responsibility to the family.
Imagine a man who used to sing in the streets, bars and cafes, and suddenly becomes a husband and a father. What he thinks about every day is no longer just about his music and ideals, but about how to make his wife and daughter live a better life. He understands that as a husband, he needs to give his wife a stable living environment, and as a father, he needs to give his daughter a carefree space to grow up.
The lifestyle of the wandering singer is obviously not able to meet these basic needs. The kind of life with no fixed home and unstable income is a great challenge to the stability of a family. Years of travel mean that you can't always be with your family, which is a test for any family relationship. Moreover, a family's expenses, children's education, and elderly support all need to be supported by a stable income, which is precisely what wandering singers cannot guarantee.
So, the man began to think about how to balance ideals and reality, freedom and responsibility. He may choose to settle down in a certain city and find a stable job, although this may mean that he can no longer sing his own songs as freely as he used to. But he knows that this is the greatest responsibility for the family. He began to continue writing and singing in his spare time, but this was more about fulfilling his dreams and passions than for making a living. He understands that true dreams should not be a burden on family responsibilities, but should be a concoction and supplement to family life.
So, he set up a barbecue stall in a small alley in Chengdu. In the beginning, business was not very good, but he did not give up. He grills each skewer of meat with care, paying attention to the freshness and quality of the ingredients, constantly adjusting the technique and taste of the grilled meat. Gradually, his barbecue stand began to be favored by customers. One day, his barbecue stand ushered in a peak season. At its peak, 1,500 skewers of barbecue were sold in a day, and it only took 7 minutes to sell them all. This number is very staggering for a small vendor. His barbecue is delicious, has a unique texture, and is very affordable, which is loved by customers.
His success was not accidental. He pursues a career of his own with his own efforts and perseverance. Despite being a wandering singer, he was not limited by the predicament and bravely took a new step. His story tells us that as long as we have dreams and courage, we can create our own glory. Today, his barbecue stall has become a landscape in Chengdu. Many diners come every day to taste his barbecue. And he has never forgotten his original intention, always maintained the pursuit of ingredients and taste, and ran his own stall with heart. His story is not just a story about barbecue, but a story of dreams and courage.
In the streets and alleys of China, barbecue stalls can be seen everywhere. But among them, there is a barbecue master's stall that stands out from the rest. His barbecue is not only a food, but also an art and a culture. This barbecue master, from the original roadside stall to now has his own shop, his barbecue road can be described as a bumpy road. When night falls, his stall is always crowded with diners, all attracted by the unique smell of barbecue. And those regular customers are his loyal fans, and whenever night falls, they will always come to his stall to enjoy the unique barbecue delicacy.
With the development of the times, Douyin group buying has gradually become the new favorite of the catering industry. Naturally, this barbecue chef also kept pace with the times and moved his shop online. He carefully prepares every barbecue, and every skewer of meat is carefully cooked by him to ensure the freshness of the meat and the delicate taste. With the help of the online platform, his barbecue restaurant business is becoming more and more prosperous, with a profit of more than 100,000 yuan at the best time, and 100 tables of customers a day at the most.
As the store grew, in order to provide customers with a better dining experience, the barbecue chef set up a small stage in the store. When night falls, to the rhythm of music, customers can enjoy a delicious barbecue while enjoying a wonderful show. Sometimes it's the resident singer who sings for everyone, and sometimes it's the diners' spontaneous dance performances. It's not just a place to eat food, it's a place to meet up with energy and joy.
On weekends, the shops are often full, and there are even long queues on the streets outside. In order to meet everyone's needs, this barbecue master will occasionally go into battle and sing a song for everyone. His powerful voice and soulful songs often attract customers to stop and listen. Sometimes, he would interact with customers, inviting them on stage to sing and dance together, filling the whole store with laughter.
Over time, Li Xiang's life has also undergone a lot of changes. He started a family and had children of his own. Faced with the responsibilities and obligations of his family, he chose to let go of his dreams and devote himself to the family. He hopes to create a warm and comfortable living environment for his family, so that his family can live a happy life. Li Xiang did not completely give up his ideals. He always firmly believes that as long as he works hard, he will one day realize his ideals. So, he began to work hard to achieve his ideals. He works during the day and comes home at night to take care of his family. Although it was hard, he never complained.
After a period of hard work, Li Xiang finally realized his ideals. He bought an RV and took the whole family on a trip. They went to a lot of beautiful places and saw a lot of beautiful landscapes. Li Xiang felt that this kind of life was what he really wanted. Looking back on his experience, Li Xiang was full of emotion. He feels that the reason why he can realize his ideals is because he dares to pursue his dreams and dare to struggle. At the same time, he also dared to give up his dreams for the sake of his family and take responsibility for his family. He believes that such courage and responsibility are the most important things.
Li Xiang's experience tells us that ideals are not unattainable. As long as we dare to pursue our dreams and dare to struggle, we will one day realize our ideals. At the same time, we must also dare to give up our dreams for the sake of our family and take responsibility for our families. Only in this way can we truly realize our ideals and live a happy and fulfilling life.
