On the edge of the city, there is a lush willow forest. In the evening, the hanging willow gently swayed in the breeze, as if telling one story after another. Tonight, this willow grove welcomed two unusual guests - Zhang Qiang and Li Ming.
Zhang Qiang is a typical urban man, he has a successful career and a bright appearance, but he often feels lonely inside. And Li Ming is his old friend, a person who likes to explore the philosophy of life, and can always bring Zhang Qiang some unexpected thoughts.
The two sat side by side under the willow tree, Zhang Qiang sighed, looked at the sky and said, "You say, is a man's life a road of continuous escalation?" ”
Li Ming smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said, "Maybe." However, this path to progression is not as simple as the game, and each level has its challenges and tests. ”
Zhang Qiang became interested and asked, "Then tell me, what level does this man's advancement path have?" ”
Li Ming put down the teacup and began to speak: "I have heard an interesting saying that a man doesn't need a woman when he reaches the seventh level. However, this is just a metaphor about men's dependence on women and cognitive changes as they grow up. ”
"At the first level, men are ignorant teenagers, full of curiosity and longing for women, and women at that time are mysterious and beautiful in their hearts."
"At the second level, men begin to appreciate the beauty of women, both outwardly and internally. They begin to pursue love, hoping to find a partner they like. ”
"At the third level, men have achieved something in both their careers and in love and begin to enjoy their time with women. They know how to take care of and pamper women, and they also learn to show their charm in front of women. ”
"At the fourth level, men begin to think about the meaning and value of life, and they are no longer satisfied with only material pursuits, but pay more attention to spiritual communication with women."
"At the fifth level, men encounter setbacks and difficulties on the road of life, and they begin to learn to be independent and strong. At this time, women are both supporters and dependents for them. ”
"At the sixth level, men become more mature and steady after going through a lot of ups and downs. They have learned how to balance their careers and families, and they cherish their relationship with women even more. ”
"And what about the seventh level?" Zhang asked forcefully.
Li Ming took a deep breath and said slowly: "At the seventh level, a man has already stood at the pinnacle of his life. They have a wealth of life experience and a profound understanding of life. For women, they no longer have any dependence and constraints, but treat them with a more equal and respectful attitude. ”
"But," Li Ming said, "This seventh level is not so easy to achieve. A lot of men may stay at a certain level for the rest of their lives and not be able to go any further. ”
Zhang Qiang fell into deep thought, he recalled his past life experiences, and felt as if he was still hovering between the fifth and sixth levels. He sighed and said, "Then what level do you think I am now?" ”
Li Ming smiled slightly and said, "You, I think you're close to the sixth level now." You have a successful career, a happy family, and you also know how to cherish and be grateful. However, if you want to reach level 7, you still need to work hard! ”
Zhang Qiang was a little surprised and a little happy after hearing this. He realizes that he still has a long way to go, but at the same time he is full of hope and confidence for the future. He stood up and said, "Thank you, old friend! It's really rewarding to talk to you so much tonight! ”
Li Ming also stood up and said, "You're welcome! We are all travelers on this road of advancement! Hopefully, we'll all reach that legendary seventh level soon! ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, drifting away in the afterglow of the setting sun. And the willow forest also seems to witness this dialogue and perception about the road of men's advancement.
After returning home, Zhang Qiang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and could not sleep. He recalled his conversation with Li Ming under the willow tree and those thoughts about the path of men's advancement. He realized that although he had achieved some achievements in the past days, he had also encountered a lot of difficulties and setbacks. These experiences have made him more mature and strong, but at the same time, they have also made him more appreciative and grateful for the people and things around him.
Zhang Qiang took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He knows he still has a long way to go, and many challenges and trials await him. But he also believed that he had enough courage and wisdom to face all difficulties to achieve that legendary seventh level!
In his dream, Zhang Qiang seemed to see himself standing on the top of a high mountain, overlooking the whole world. He felt a sense of freedom and ease that he had never felt before, and at the same time he was full of hope and anticipation for the future. He knew that he was no longer the ignorant teenager but a mature, stable and responsible man!
