I, named Chen Yong, had just graduated from high school in 2020, and I chose to be a soldier without hesitation with full of enthusiasm. And my classmate Li Ming was admitted to the doctorate and became the best of our classmates.
I remember that day, at our high school reunion, Li Ming said to me in a contemptuous tone with a condescending attitude: "Chen Yong, look at you, what can you do as a soldier? Look at me, I will become a scientist in the future." ”
I smiled and didn't contradict him. I know that everyone has their own choices, it's just that we take different paths.
A few years have passed, and I have become more mature and stable in the army, and Li Ming has also obtained a doctorate. However, life is always full of drama.
It was a sunny afternoon, I was on vacation, and suddenly I received a call from Li Ming. He asked me out to talk about my heart. When we met, I noticed that he looked depressed, and he was like the high-spirited doctor back then.
"Chen Yong, I'm unemployed. Li Ming said in a low voice.
It turned out that after graduation, Li Ming entered a well-known scientific research institution to work. However, due to his arrogant personality and poor communication with others, he was ostracized in the unit. Eventually, he was fired from the unit because of an experimental error.
I patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, Li Ming, there are always ups and downs in life." If you are highly educated and capable, you will definitely be able to find a better job. ”
Li Ming smiled bitterly: "Chen Yong, you said it lightly. I'm ashamed of myself now, and I feel like I'm worthless. And you, who have trained so well in the army, I really envy you. ”
Hearing this, I had mixed feelings in my heart. The classmate who once despised me now envies me. I told him, "Li Ming, in fact, you don't need to envy me. We just choose different paths, and everyone has their own shining points. You have to believe in yourself and you will definitely be able to get out of the trough. ”
Later, I introduced Li Ming to work at a scientific research institute of our army. With his expertise, he quickly made his mark in his new role and regained his self-confidence.
Today, Li Ming and I have become good friends. We get together all the time and talk about the past, the present and the future. He no longer despises me, and I am happy for him from the bottom of my heart.
Life is like a play, and everyone plays a different role. We are all working hard to play our roles well, and the ups and downs of life are the testimony of our growth. And those conflicts and incomprehensions in the past have finally turned into mutual respect and friendship under the baptism of time.
Time is like flowing water, fleeting. Li Ming has been working in our unit's scientific research institute for more than a year. On this day, he excitedly approached me and said that a new technology developed by his team was about to be put into use, and this technology would have a major impact on the mainland's national defense.
"Chen Yong, this time it's really thanks to you. Li Ming said to me excitedly, "If you hadn't encouraged me at the beginning, I might still be hovering in the trough of my life now." ”
I smiled and responded, "This shows that you have this ability yourself, and I just helped you find a platform to play." However, the success of your team this time is really exciting. ”
Li Ming nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, this success has made me understand a truth, that is: there is no obstacle in life that cannot be overcome, only the heart that dare not face it." We all have to face life's challenges bravely in order to reap the fruits of growth. ”
While we were talking, the director walked in and said to us, "Chen Yong, Li Ming, you both performed very well this time. Especially Li Ming, you have made great contributions to the mainland's national defense. Now, we have decided to involve you in the next phase of this project. ”
Hearing the news, Li Ming and I looked at each other and smiled, feeling each other's joy. In the days that followed, we worked overtime, working together, and striving for a common goal.
One day, in the laboratory, Li Ming suddenly said to me: "Chen Yong, do you know? I used to envy you very much, thinking that you had trained so well in the army. But now, I don't think I'm bad either. It's a good feeling that we're all working towards the same dream. ”
I patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Li Ming, you're right. We are all working hard for our dreams, and this is a testimony of our growth. Trust us, we will be able to achieve more. ”
In the following research and development process, we encountered many difficulties. But we didn't give up, but in encouraging each other and learning together, we overcame one problem after another.
Finally, on the day of the acceptance of the project, we succeeded. At that moment, there was thunderous applause in the laboratory, and Li Ming and I hugged each other tightly, tears rolling in our eyes.
This success makes us more convinced: as long as we bravely face difficulties and make efforts, we will be able to reap success. And in the process, we not only gained achievements, but also gained deep friendship.
Life is like a marathon, and we are all running for the dreams in our hearts. There will be challenges along the way, but as long as we walk hand in hand and support each other, we will definitely reach the end.
Today, Li Ming and I are still working hard in our respective positions. We often think of those days of working together, and our hearts are full of gratitude. And those conflicts and misunderstandings have long since disappeared in the passage of time, leaving only precious memories.
With the passage of time, our project has attracted a lot of attention at home and abroad. On that day, the director approached me and Li Ming with serious expressions, and he told us that because of the importance of the project, our superiors had decided to send us to an international symposium to present our research results to the world.
"This is a rare opportunity and an affirmation of your abilities. The director said earnestly, "You must prepare well and win glory for the country." ”
Li Ming and I both felt a great responsibility, and we began to work intensively on the preparations. During the preparation process, I was responsible for sorting out the practical application cases of the project, while Li Ming was responsible for sorting out the technical theory.
One night, when we were working late overtime, Li Ming suddenly stopped what he was doing and said to me, "Chen Yong, do you think we can succeed this time?"
I looked at him and said seriously, "Li Ming, I believe that our efforts will not be in vain. As long as we stick together and play to our strengths, we will be able to succeed. ”
On the day of the seminar, we walked up to the podium with confidence. In front of experts and scholars from all over the world, we introduced the research process and results of the project in detail. When we finished our presentations, the audience erupted in applause.
At that moment, Li Ming and I looked at each other and smiled, feeling unprecedented pride. We know that this success is not accidental, but the result of our joint efforts.
After the workshop, our lives gradually returned to peace. However, during these peaceful days, a thought sprung up in my heart: to retire from the army.
This decision left me in a deep tangle. I approached Li Ming and wanted to hear his opinion.
"Chen Yong, have you really figured it out?" Li Ming looked at me seriously.
I nodded: "Yes, I feel like I've fulfilled my mission in the army. Now, I want to pursue a new life. ”
Li Ming was silent for a while, and then said, "Since you have decided, then I support you." Wherever you go, though, we're good friends. ”
On the day of farewell, my comrades-in-arms in the army held a simple send-off ceremony for me. I hugged Li Ming tightly, my eyes full of gratitude.
After leaving the army, I joined a private enterprise. Although the working environment and content are completely different from before, I still maintain the fine traditions of the army, and I am diligent and dedicated.
And Li Ming also continues to exert his talent in the scientific research institute. Although we are separated from each other, we often keep in touch through phone calls and WeChat to share each other's lives and joys.
Time flies, fleeting. Those former glories and hardships have become the most valuable wealth in our lives. And the friendship between me and Li Ming has also become deeper in these ups and downs.
Life is like a wonderful movie, and we are all the protagonists in this movie. In the days to come, we will continue to write our own chapter, bravely pursue our dreams, and move forward all the way.
In the blink of an eye, I have been working in a private company for two years. During this time, I learned a lot and grew a lot. Li Ming, on the other hand, has also made remarkable achievements in the research institute, and we are each shining in different fields.
One weekend afternoon, I was working overtime at the company when I suddenly received a call from Li Ming. His voice was full of excitement: "Chen Yong, guess what good news I just received?"
"What's the good news?" I asked curiously.
"One of our team's new technologies has applied for a national patent, and it has been favored by a large enterprise and is ready to be put into production. Li Ming said excitedly.
I am sincerely happy for his success: "Li Ming, this is really amazing! Congratulations!"
"Thank you too, Chen Yong. It was your encouragement and support that gave me the motivation to move forward. Li Ming said sincerely.
I smiled and shook my head: "Li Ming, you have won the prize." We're all working hard for our dreams, and that's what we're supposed to do. ”
A few days later, I received an invitation from Li Ming to attend their team's new technology conference. I said yes without hesitation, full of anticipation.
On the day of the press conference, I came to the scene. I am extremely proud of Li Ming when he stands on the stage and confidently introduces new technologies to everyone. When the press conference ended, the audience burst into warm applause.
In the evening, Li Ming invited me to dinner. We found a tavern and chatted while eating. Li Ming said with emotion: "Chen Yong, after you left the army, I often think of the days when we struggled together. Those days were hard, but they were fulfilling. ”
I nodded: "Yes, those days were precious treasures in our lives. Li Ming, do you think we have made the right choice now?"
Li Ming looked at me and said seriously: "Chen Yong, we are all working hard for our dreams, this is our choice. As long as we keep going, we will be able to achieve our dreams. ”
That night, we chatted for a long time, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future. Although our paths are different, we all believe that if we are brave enough to pursue our dreams, we will be able to achieve success.
Time flies, and we are all working hard for our dreams. Those former glories and hardships have become the most valuable wealth in our lives. And the friendship between me and Li Ming has also become deeper in these ups and downs.
Life is like a wonderful movie, and we are all the protagonists in this movie. In the days to come, we will continue to write our own chapter, bravely pursue our dreams, and move forward all the way.
