Some time ago, a Japanese animated short film swept the internet.

The short film is called "Fast Food Life". It alludes to the fact that in the fast food era, people are always blindly pursuing results and are accustomed to enjoying their success, while ignoring their own efforts.
As everyone knows, such a fast food life is dragging itself down.

If you don't take the initiative to fight, you will miss out on your whole life
The first scene in the short film is of an old woman sitting at the entrance.
She watched as one hamburger after another slipped away from her, but she was indifferent.
The hamburger eventually fell to the ground, and the woman's expression became anxious and dignified.
The most regrettable thing is not the tragedy of not getting a burger, but that she never stretched out her hands to fight for food, and she was always in a passive wait.
The Hamburg in the picture symbolizes the opportunities and wealth of life.
In life, too many people end up with success because of their laziness.
If you want to get a hamburger, you have to fight hard.
Not long ago, the news that a takeaway brother in Shenyang relied on "fast legs" to buy a house shocked netizens.
At first, this little brother was not familiar with the express delivery business, and there was very little business he could do every day.
Later, with his unremitting efforts, he finally exercised his flexible leg speed, and he could run sixty or seventy singles a day, known as the "running single king".
Three months after entering the express delivery industry, his performance has ranked in the top three, surpassing many colleagues around him.
When asked what the trick was, the courier brother replied:
"In fact, there is no trick, the main thing is to work, sometimes my colleagues have already come home from work, I have to stay here and continue to work, and the work will not end until one or two o'clock in the morning."
Day after day of hard work was not in vain, and eventually he made up enough money for the down payment of the house and had his own home in the wandering city.
Many times, people always complain that the world is difficult and life is difficult.
As everyone knows, on the road of life, what really defeats you is not mediocre qualifications, not bad luck; but your laziness and passivity.
The so-called good fortune is nothing more than the gift of fate that you have worked hard to obtain.
A moment of stagnation may miss only a good opportunity; long-term waiting, missed will be the whole life.
For people who are hard and lazy, the ending is really different.

Repetitive inefficiencies and internal friction can drag down our lives
There is also a scene in the short film, which is a hamburger that can never be cut.
The three chefs in the picture seem to be trying very hard to cut the burger, but after the cut part falls into the mouth, it will soon return to its original position.
The cycle goes on and on, and a hamburger can never be cut.
The same cook, the flow of water work. The efforts of the three were ultimately futile.
The picture in the short film is very much like ourselves in life, trying to run every day for work with no end in sight, but we don't get anything in return.
I know that a netizen once recorded his busy day like this:
Go to work in the morning, there will always be endless meetings;
After work at night, there will always be endless drinks with customers;
When I return home late at night, I have to work endless overtime, and I will never be able to stay up all night.
Partners and children become strangers, and colleagues and clients become closest friends.
Is it really meaningful to just have such internal friction?
The netizen continued to pour out: he worked hard, left a body of illness, but the income did not increase in the slightest, the position was not promoted, worked for many years, and still lingered in the same place.
After reading her story, I couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. This is not only her experience, but also the lives of most of us.
In the endless mechanical work, we have become a gyroscope on the operation assembly line, constantly rotating the shafts, gradually deviating from the track of life, and becoming more and more confused.
Instead of repeating inefficient internal friction, it is better to stop the pace of running, see the road ahead and start again.

Nibbling on the old, nibbling on yourself
At the end of the short film, there is this picture:
Several children scrambled to grab the hamburger on their father's back, like the "nibblers" who often demanded their parents' property.
What these people are most looking forward to is to "lie and win" in life, and they put all their hopes on their parents. Enjoy a life where you can get everything without giving.
But parents will always grow old, and when they lose the ability to live independently, life will be difficult.
In the TV series "All Is Good", Su Mingcheng is a typical old man.
Growing up, he was the most favored child in the family.
Due to excessive coddling in the family, he became accustomed to relying on his parents from an early age.
Growing up, it's still the same.
From graduation, to work, to marriage, all the money is from the family. Even the living expenses of the wife after marriage had to be demanded from the mother.
After his mother's death, he lost the pillar of his life. Unable to be independent of him, his life began to change dramatically.
At first, he was deceived by his investment and lost his family;
Later, he was detained by the police for assaulting his family;
In the end, he experienced various setbacks such as divorce and unemployment.
And all this stems from his lack of ability to live independently.
People who have been nibbling on the old for a long time have long been accustomed to dependence and taking, and what they have lost is not only the will to work hard, but also the means and ability to make a living.
Kuwaiti female writer Munir once said: "Independence is the foundation of life." ”
People who nibble on the elderly are ostensibly "nibbling" their parents, but in fact they are wasting their own lives.
A person who cannot stand on his own feet can never have a future.

Although the short film is only one minute, it reflects the ugliness of human nature.
Goth once said: "Whoever plays with life will achieve nothing; those who cannot dominate themselves will eventually become slaves to life." ”
If you want a good life, you must work hard to fight for it, so that such a life will have meaning.
May every hard-working you be able to live up to Shaohua in this life.
