Click to follow, feel the bits and pieces of life with me, share wisdom and warmth, your support is the driving force for me to move forward.
I, a 26-year-old tech worker, are working quietly in a dynamic technology company. My home is a warm family of five, my father is well-known in the real estate industry, and my mother is the hostess of the family. There is also a respectable uncle and a lively and lovely little sister at home, although our life is not rich, but it also has a special taste.
My uncle, my father's brother, was ten years older than me, and now holds a key position in a state-owned enterprise, and his family is quite wealthy. However, at every family gathering, he always likes to talk about our family's life, laughs at my parents for being too "ordinary", and even hints many times that I should look up to him and plan my future. At this time, although I am unhappy in my heart, I always choose patience for the sake of family harmony.
This family gathering has made quite a wave in my heart. Walking into the uncle's house, their family was full of spring breeze and seemed to be showing off their success. While my parents greeted them warmly, I stood silently, unsure of what to do with the ridicule that was coming.
Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, the uncle began his "performance". He pointed to our house and said mockingly: "Look at you, you don't even have a car, what kind of life is this? His words pierced me like a sharp knife into my heart. I clenched my fists, trying to restrain my emotions and not want to argue with him.
The father tried to change the subject, but the uncle refused to give up. He sneered and continued: "Your attitude towards life is simply going with the flow and having no pursuit. I think that's how it is for you in this life. I finally couldn't bear it anymore and retorted loudly: "Uncle, although our life is simple, we live a happy and fulfilling life. Why do you say that we go with the flow? Our spiritual world is much richer than yours!"
When the uncle heard my words, he sneered even more: "Hmph, you kid can just talk big, in addition to being powerful, what other skills do you have? If it weren't for your father getting help from my family back then, you wouldn't know where to wander now." His words were like a punch, and I instantly lost the courage to refute. I looked at my parents' worried eyes, and my heart was full of helplessness and anger.
At that moment, I felt frustrated and inferior like never before. I always tried to behave better in front of my family, but I was always defeated by my uncle's ridicule. I began to wonder if my worth was really what he said, and that he was nothing but saying big things.
However, the comfort of my parents helped me regain my faith. They told me that I had always been their pride and that they would support me and encourage me, no matter what others thought. Their words made me realize that I always cared about what others thought and neglected my own heart. I was determined to change all of that and stop letting other people's words affect my emotions.
I began to think seriously about my life plan and no longer be influenced by my uncle. I'm working hard to improve my abilities and I'm also looking for my own career opportunities. I believe that as long as I work hard enough, I will prove my worth one day.
A few years later, I achieved great results in the company and started my own entrepreneurial path. I used my expertise to develop a popular product that was recognized by the market. All these achievements stem from my confidence and hard work in myself.
Today, I am no longer the teenager who is easily affected by other people's words. I firmly believe that as long as I am firm in my beliefs and move forward bravely, I will be able to create my own wonderful life.
