In 1990, I made an important decision to resign from my position as a private teacher and devote myself to the transportation industry. At that time, I was confident that I had made the right choice. However, now I regret seeing my colleagues with a salary of more than 8,000 yuan a month.
My name is Li Ming, and I was born in a poor rural family. Since childhood, he has been determined to contribute to the education of his hometown. In 1985, I worked hard to become a private teacher. At that time, I was full of spirit, thinking that I could make a contribution to the education of my hometown. However, the reality is skinny. The salaries of private teachers are meager, and there is not much left except for their own living expenses. Watching the life at home become more and more difficult, I had a thought in my heart: resign from my position as a private teacher and run transportation.
At that time, I didn't know anything about the transportation industry. I just heard that running transportation can make a lot of money and improve the living conditions of my family. So, I resolutely resigned from my position as a private teacher and devoted myself to the transportation industry. In the beginning, I suffered a lot. Life in a sports car is not as good as I imagined, but full of hardships and hardships. However, instead of backing down, I gritted my teeth and persevered. After a few years of hard work, I finally got my own shipping company and my life gradually improved.
However, now I regret seeing my colleagues with a salary of more than 8,000 yuan a month. I regret why I didn't stick to it in the first place, why I didn't continue to be a private teacher. I used to think that running transportation would give me a better life. However, as it turned out, I was wrong. My colleagues are paid well and enjoy a stable life, while I am still running for a living. Every time I think about this, I feel a pang of sadness.
However, there are no ifs in life, only consequences and results. I understand that the path I have chosen, no matter how difficult it is, must be followed. Although I regret it now, I don't regret it. Because I know that I am responsible for my own life. I will continue to work hard in the transportation industry and strive to create better conditions for my life.
Sometimes, I think about my time as a teacher. At that time, although I was poor, I was full of hope. I firmly believe that as long as I work hard, I can change my destiny. And now, although I have my own career, I can't get back the confidence and hope I had at the beginning. I learned that there are some things that money can't buy. For example, the dream of the past, and the heart that never gives up.
Perhaps, life is like this. Always hovering between constantly choosing and giving up, always struggling between gaining and losing. However, there is no absolute right or wrong in life, only what suits you and what doesn't. I firmly believe that as long as I face life bravely and work hard, I will always find my own piece of the sky.
Today, I regret my decision, but I'm not depressed. Because I know that I am responsible for my own life. I will cherish every day in front of me, live hard, and strive to create better living conditions for my family. At the same time, I will also miss my former career as a teacher and thank me for the growth and experience that I have brought during that time.
Life is always full of regrets and regrets, but as long as we face it bravely, we will always find our own happiness. I firmly believe that on this long road of life, I will always find my own piece of the sky.
