After the class reunion, I vowed not to be in the limelight again!

On that day, the class reunion was lively, and everyone said a word to me, recalling the bits and pieces of the past. I, Zhang Qiang, was a man of the year in the class, with good academic performance and good basketball play, and I could always be the focus. However, after the party, I vowed not to be in the limelight again.

It all started with an episode at a party. That day, Li Hua, an old classmate, suddenly mentioned: "Zhang Qiang, do you still remember your killer ball in our inter-school basketball game?

I smiled embarrassedly, and was about to say a few words of modesty, but I heard Zhao Gang, an old classmate in the corner, say in a weird manner: "Yes, Zhang Qiang was beautiful at that time, but now? I heard that he is living in a small company, haha." ”

The atmosphere instantly became awkward, and my face was red and white for a while, and I didn't know how to respond. At this time, my best friend Xiao Li stood up and helped me out: "Zhao Gang, what do you mean by this? Zhang Qiang is doing well now, how do you know that he is messing around?"

Zhao Gang was not to be outdone: "I just can't get used to his smug look, he was in school back then, and now he is not as ordinary as us?"

I couldn't listen anymore, so I stood up and said, "Zhao Gang, you're right, I'm really no longer beautiful." But I don't think it's a shame, everybody has their own way of life, doesn't it? I don't get out of the limelight because I understand that life is not a race, you don't have to be competitive all the time. ”

After saying this, I felt much more comfortable. After the party, I walked home alone, full of thoughts. I think of the high-spirited self back then, and I also think of the mature and stable self now. Yes, I'm no longer in the limelight, but I don't regret it.

Walking and walking, I came to a lottery shop. Suddenly, on a whim, I wanted to try my luck with a lottery ticket. Unexpectedly, this chance luck really made me win the jackpot.

The next day, I took the lottery ticket to claim the prize, but I was not as excited as I thought. I decided to donate the money to those in need, if nothing else, but to put my mind at ease.

When I told my wife about this, her eyes widened: "Did you really decide to do this?"

I nodded: "Yes, I've thought it through." This money is a windfall for us, but it can be a life-changing straw for those who need it. ”

The wife said with emotion: "You have really changed, become more mature and more responsible. ”

I smiled and silently swore in my heart: from now on, I will keep a low profile and stop being in the limelight. Because, I have learned that true happiness does not come from the envy of others, but from inner satisfaction.

As the days passed, I fulfilled my vows and lived a low-key life. And those who used to be jealous of me slowly began to understand me and respect me. Life is like a play, drama is like life, I am no longer in the limelight, but I have gained more real friends and respect.

Life is so dull and fulfilling, I focus more on work, spend time with my family in my spare time, and occasionally catch up with old friends. Until one day, I received a strange phone call, and it was a familiar voice on the other end: "Zhang Qiang, I'm Li Hua, are you okay now?"

I was stunned for a moment, and Li Hua's voice sounded a little urgent: "I want to ask you for help, our company has a public welfare project recently, and I want to ask you to be a spokesperson to help those children in poor mountainous areas." ”

I agreed without thinking about it, which is exactly what I want to do to society. In the next few days, I worked with Li Hua's team to prepare for this public welfare activity, visited some poor mountainous areas, and saw the difficult living conditions of the children there, and my heart was deeply touched.

During the preparation process, I met Zhao Gang again. The look in his eyes was gone, and there was no jealousy, but a kind of admiration. He walked over and stretched out his hand: "Zhang Qiang, I used to speak too impulsively, but now it seems that you really live your own life." ”

I smiled and shook his hand: "It's all over, Zhao Gang, we are all growing." ”

On the day of the charity event, I stood on the stage and looked at the children and enthusiastic volunteers below, and my heart was full of emotion. I said, "I am standing here today, not because of the scenery I used to be, but because each of us has a responsibility to care for those in need." This is the proudest thing in our lives. ”

After the event, my wife and I returned home together. In the evening, as we sat on the balcony and looked at the starry sky, I was filled with emotion: "I used to always pursue those superficial scenery, but now I understand that true happiness comes from helping others." ”

My wife gently held my hand: "I always knew that you were a kind person at heart. This kindness of yours shines brighter than any scenery. ”

Time passed like this, and I no longer pursued those ethereal scenery, but found true happiness in ordinary life. I have learned that the value of life does not depend on the gaze of others, but on the fullness and peace of one's own heart.

In the days that followed, I continued my public welfare work and did my part. And my story, too, has slowly become a legend in the mouths of others in the praise of my friends. But I know that none of this matters, what matters is that I live the life I really want.

The impact of the charity campaign has been unexpectedly large, and my story has inspired many people to get involved. One day, I received a letter from the mountains, which read: "Uncle Zhang, thank you for the hope you have brought us, I will definitely study hard and help more people like you in the future." "This letter brought tears to my eyes and I realized that my actions had planted the seeds of kindness in the hearts of the children.

Not long after, I received a strange phone call, and the voice on the other end of the phone was a little old: "Zhang Qiang, I'm Mr. Wang, do you remember me?"

I suddenly remembered the teacher who adhered to the cause of education in the mountainous area: "Of course I remember, Mr. Wang, are you okay?"

Teacher Wang smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." I heard about your public deeds and was very touched. I would like to invite you to come to our school and see that the children here are in great need of role models like you. ”

I said yes without saying a word. On the weekend, I drove to the school, which was located in the mountains. Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, but my mood could not be calm. I can't help but feel emotionally moved when I think of the smiling faces of those children and their eyes eager for knowledge.

When I arrived at the school, I was surrounded by enthusiastic children who were scrambling to say hello to me. Teacher Wang took me on a tour of the school, where the simple classrooms, dilapidated desks and chairs carried the children's hopes for the future.

In the evening, Mr. Wang and I sat in the office and chatted. He said: "Zhang Qiang, do you know that your every move is affecting these children. They take you as a role model, and your kindness and commitment make them see the possibilities of the future. ”

I was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, I'm just doing what I can." Compared to you, I'm far behind. ”

Teacher Wang patted me on the shoulder: "Everyone has their own mission, and you are already fulfilling your mission. Remember, kindness is a power that can change the world. ”

When I left school, the children dropped me off at the school gate, and they waved goodbye reluctantly. I looked at their innocent smiling faces and made a silent promise in my heart: I would do my best to help these children achieve their dreams.

When I got home, I told my wife that I was going to start a foundation to help children in the mountains. My wife supported my decision, saying, "It's a good thing, let's work together." ”

Since then, I have devoted myself to the work of the foundation, raising funds, purchasing teaching equipment, and sponsoring underprivileged students. My life has become busier, but I have fun because I know that everything I do has meaning.

Time is passing in a hurry, and the Foundation's influence is growing. And my life is also quietly changing. I no longer pursue fame and fortune, I no longer want to be in the limelight, but I find true happiness in the process of helping others.

Time is like a song, life is like a play. In this scene, I am no longer the protagonist, but a supporting role that pays silently. However, it is such supporting roles that make this scene even more exciting. And I will continue to perform my kindness and responsibility in this scene.

One day, I was sorting out materials in the office of the foundation when I suddenly received a phone call from Mr. Wang. The voice on the other end of the phone was anxious and worried: "Zhang Qiang, there was a landslide near the school, many children are trapped, and the situation is critical!"

My heart instantly tightened, and I immediately summoned the staff of the Foundation and urgently launched a rescue operation. We contacted the local rescue team and mobilized all the resources we could to rush to the disaster area.

When we arrived at the disaster area, there was a mess in front of us, with collapsed houses and blocked roads. Together with the rescue team, I went deep into the disaster area to search for the trapped children. In the midst of the ruins, we found several shivering children with fearful and helpless eyes in them.

I hugged them tightly and comforted, "Don't be afraid, uncle will protect you." "We quickly moved the children to safety and provided them with food, water and clothing.

During the rescue, I couldn't help but think of my own childhood. At that time, I had experienced a similar dilemma, and it was a kind stranger who helped me. Nowadays, I also have the ability to help others, which is a beautiful inheritance.

After several days of hard work, we were able to rescue all the trapped children. When the last child was rescued, I couldn't hold back my tears. These are tears of joy, but also reverence for life.

After the rescue operation, I worked with the Foundation staff to rebuild the school. We raised more money to improve the school's hardware so that children can learn in a better environment.

In the process of reconstruction, I often think of Mr. Wang's words: "Kindness is a kind of power, and it can change the world." "I know that everything I do is to convey this power and make more people feel warmth and hope.

Time flies, and my life goes on. I am no longer the Zhang Qiang who pursues scenery, but an ordinary person who is committed to public welfare. In the process, I found true joy and fulfillment.

I know that the value of life does not depend on the gaze of others, but on the fullness and peace of one's own heart. In the process of helping others, I feel this fulfillment and peace.

Time is like a song, life is like a play. In this scene, I am no longer the protagonist, but a supporting role that pays silently. However, it is such supporting roles that make this scene even more exciting. And I will continue to perform my kindness and responsibility in this scene.
