The meaning of life is to be healthy and happy, to do something meaningful, and by the way, a little wealth, that is the most beautiful thing. One of the things that has been with people for the longest time and has the greatest impact is work.
Many people in order to live, do their dislike of the work, but there is no way to do, can only obey the fate, over time, their passion and dreams will be flattened by the reality of a little bit, and when they wake up, they may be old, or think that the market is not good, so they sigh that their fate is so, they give up, give up.
There are also many people who are rational but do not see action, afraid of this and that, afraid of pursuing what they like, and suppress their personality and desires, overwhelmed all day, living like a walking dead, muddy life.
Life is very short, to do a job you like, even more important than wealth, because work occupies most of our spiritual pursuits in life, a job that we do not like, will affect our physical and mental health; if it is a job you like, even if the return is less, but you get happiness and growth, it is worth getting more than how many bonuses you get.
If you have dreams and ideas, don't suppress your personality, after making up your mind, just try to move forward. Time will tell you the answer, and the tossed life is far more exciting than the comfortable life hundreds of times.
The tossed life has more experience and expanded its own vision and pattern; and the comfortable life, although it is very comfortable in the short term, but in the long run, the comfortable life is obviously a more fragile life, because it cannot withstand the blow of the wind and waves, and a disease may return to the pre-liberation period.
And the tossed life, even if it is not successful, there is a rich life experience, this wealth, will be a lifetime of wealth. What if it succeeds? Isn't life a trial-and-error process?
Afraid of failure?! That will lead to nothing!
Teacher Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental, built at Peking University after graduating from university and became an English teacher, which is a decent and tall job in the eyes of outsiders!
However, just when everyone around him was envious, Yu Minhong made a behavior that surprised everyone else, he decided to quit his teaching job at Peking University, and resolutely pursued the ideals and ambitions in his heart...
Because there are dreams
Because there are ideals
Because I don't want to live a life that can be seen at a glance
Because I don't want to leave regrets
Also because life is short
Therefore, Yu Minhong quit his job at Peking University and came out to start a business, with his own efforts and diligence, and now he founded the New Oriental Education and Technology Group with a market value of 14.4 billion US dollars.
In his book, he probably records his resignation and entrepreneurship in this way, he said:
"Every morning when I go to the office, I see the teachers and professors of the older generation, every day a pot of tea, a newspaper, then go to class, engage in academic research, a lifetime has passed, if you have been satisfied with the status quo, then decades later today, just like these old predecessors, living a light and tasteless life of a pot of tea and a newspaper."
The kind of life that can see the end at a glance makes him feel a little sad and lost in his heart"!
He suddenly had an epiphany at that moment, and was determined to quit his job and start a business!
Resigned, he started an English training class, in order to recruit students, in the early stage of entrepreneurship, he is not afraid of hard work, not afraid of shame!
Every day in the Peking University campus around the posted enrollment ads, sometimes by peking university students to recognize him, he will not feel embarrassed, although he was once a beautiful Peking University teacher, but now for their own ideals, do low-level brush small advertisements, paste enrollment advertisements, in the eyes of outsiders, it is inevitable to be ridiculed, and in Yu Minhong's heart does not feel ashamed, because for their dreams, I do what I like, I am very happy and happy! Even if you wash the toilet and hand out flyers, what happens?
Teacher Yu Minhong's entrepreneurial story has given us many enlightenments...
1, waste your life on beautiful things, even if you post small advertisements, on the road to chasing dreams, no matter how hard it is sweet, because it is doing what you like and love. If you have ideals and dreams, practice them, don't stay on the imagination, but put into action, in order to be more likely to be close to your dreams.
2, on the road to the pursuit of dreams, although hard, although there is no face, but it is only a hard work, if successful, it will get a lot of glory and applause. Life is a risky challenge, and human wisdom can avoid risks to the greatest extent and make their dreams go on more smoothly.
3, life do not leave too many regrets for yourself, unsuccessful, big deal to go back to work, if you suppress your dreams and desires, that is a lifetime of pain!
4, a wonderful life is not comfortable to get, if you want to deserve a wonderful life, don't be afraid to toss!
5, behind the brilliance, is dozens of times more than the efforts of ordinary people, or even hundreds of times, are you ready to suffer?
Also in the spirit will also be subject to many tests, the soul of the pride is the most painful, are you ready?
