Only by relying on oneself can one have the backbone of life
"Why do you always do things alone, and if you ask for a little help, will you die?" said my friend Xiao Li to me in the café, his tone a little puzzled and a little angry.
I looked up and looked at him deeply, "Because I believe that the road of life has to be walked by yourself, so that you can have backbone." ”
Xiao Li shook his head, he didn't quite understand my almost stubborn independence.
It was a fine afternoon, and we were sitting in the campus café, surrounded by the bustling students and the wafting aroma of coffee. This conversation triggered me to think deeply about dependence and independence, about the meaning of life choices.
On my way home, I had a lot of thoughts. I think about the experiences I have had since I was a child, and every time I choose to face difficulties on my own instead of asking for help, it is a test of myself. Yes, I admit that the road was not easy, and sometimes it even seemed lonely and difficult, but with each step, I felt stronger.
When I got home, I sat quietly at my desk and looked through my diary of the past when I had faced all kinds of difficulties alone. Once, I failed a project because I didn't ask for help, and that night, I was alone in the face of the frustration and self-doubt of failure. But it was this experience that taught me how to learn from setbacks and how to stand stronger in the face of storms.
A voice kept echoing in my heart: "Yes, the road of life should be walked on your own." This is not only to prove anything, but also to enable yourself to hold your head high and move forward bravely in the days to come, no matter what difficulties you face. ”
A few days later, when I met again with Xiao Li, I explained my thoughts to him: "You know what, Xiao Li, I chose to be independent, not because I don't trust others, but because I want to make myself a stronger person. Everyone's life is a marathon, and I want to be able to say to myself at the finish line that I have lived up to the hardships along the way. ”
Xiao Li was silent for a while after hearing this, and then nodded slightly, "I'm starting to understand you, maybe this is what you make me admire." ”
Indeed, the road of life is to be walked by oneself. Through these monologues and dialogues, I have come to understand the true meaning of independence. No matter what the road ahead holds, this kind of strength from the inside out will be my most solid support.
