Bai Li Xi - Some talents in life need to wait

Write my story in a different way today.

Hello everyone, my name is Baili Xi, this name is famous in the history of China, and people who know a little about the history of the Spring and Autumn Warring States know my existence.

The authoritative magazine "Zuo Chuan" specially spent a page to tell my story, and even the historian Sima Qian did not let me go, and deliberately left me a page to record my life trajectory.

In addition to these two, there are many celebrities who are sought after by me later, such as the great poet Li Bai, who has visited Nanyang many times, feeling the great cause I have built, and my blood is boiling, and I have left behind "Qin Mu Five Sheepskins, Buy Dead Baili Xi." "Tao Zhu and Wu Zhen, the name spreads between the heavens and the earth." Good sentence. In the Song Dynasty, the great poet Huang Tingjian passed by my tomb and wrote a poem "Over the Tomb of the Great Doctor of Xi in The Hundred Miles" with emotion:

The sense of guest is the season, and the situation is reminiscent of the ancients.

What year a hill of soil, no stone unicorn is seen.

The broken stele is slightly readable, and the doctor is overbearing qin.

Yu Hou Na was a thorn, and the general Xi Qingjin.

Anzhi five sheepskins, a thousand gold bodies.

The iniquity of the workers of the last days, the truth of the truth.

Fortunately, Meng Ke rewarded, worthy of the soul of the micro child.

It's cattle!

It is true that it is very cattle, but these are all the hardships that I have worked hard for all my life, and if I don't say that who really knows the suffering in my heart?

I was born in a commoner's family, born in such a family, I am not qualified to cultivate my hobbies, from the beginning of the sensible, I have only one thing to live, that is, to go to the field desperately, in the morning before dawn I have to go to the field to pull grass, it is not easy to stay up until dawn, I must go to the field, until dark, only in this way do not stop working, I am entitled to eat a bowl of white rice.

I don't know how long it took for such a day, until one day, I saw a group of gorgeously dressed, smiling, and fragrant people coming out of a tall building, their steps were so calm, so the conversation was so interesting, for a while, I was full of envy.

It turns out that people can still live like this, people can still live like this, and people can eat white rice without engaging in manual labor.

By inquiring, I learned that they had mastered a very remarkable skill—reading.

At that moment, I secretly told myself in my heart that in my lifetime, I would also become such a person, put on beautiful clothes, say nice words, and do some work that others could not do.

To that end, I started reading.

Some people say, isn't it just reading books, how big a thing, is it worth a big book?

It was in modern times, in my time, reading was not a trivial matter, because reading and reading was used to inherit culture and govern society, and only the nobility had this qualification, and a commoner could not bury his head in work, earn money and live, and read a book every day.

You can imagine how difficult my road to reading was, I almost spent my whole life to get infected with this "bad hobby", at that time I almost did not drown by Tumu Xingzi, fortunately I insisted on sticking to my scalp, because reading cost money and time, my family was getting poorer and poorer, the poorer I read, and in the end, no girl in the village was willing to marry me.

From the age of 15 until I was 30, it took me nearly 16 years to find a daughter-in-law.

At the age of 30, in the era when the average life expectancy is less than 40, it has passed two-thirds, and it is fortunate that this point has not starved to death, and what books and officials are still read.

A dream is called a dream when it is realized, and if it is not realized, it is just a dream.

To tell you the truth, at that time, I was old, my family was poor, I had no way to become an official, I could not see hope for the future, and I was almost about to give up. At this critical juncture, it was my wife who helped me. She was a very strong, well-versed wife, from the first day she married me, she firmly believed that I was a gold, she saw that I wanted to give up, she said to me: "In my eyes, you are the gold that has been forgotten by the years, as long as you are willing to work hard, there will always be a bright day." Nowadays, there is no way out in your hometown, you can't realize your dreams with your talent, it is better to walk in all directions and go outside to find opportunities! ”

This remark completely touched me, and I decided to go outside and take a look.

In order to be determined, my wife deliberately arranged a table of meals for me, who had never eaten a full meal.

For this reason, she killed the only old hen in the family to lay eggs, because there was no firewood, she directly removed the door bolt and burned it, borrowed millet to cook white rice.

Before leaving, my wife took my hand and said, "Don't forget the riches!" ”

How can I forget such kindness?

For this favor, I set off.

I first went to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, here is the Spring and Autumn Warring States with the largest population, the most developed economy, the most princely states, the opportunity to work is relatively much more, I looked for a full month, cast hundreds of resumes, hard scalp knocked on the door of one enterprise after another, but unfortunately no one is willing to sign a contract with me, and even I want to be a security guard No one agrees, because I am too old, my appearance is too ugly, and signing them has damaged their image.

You can hardly imagine how I lived without a job and without an income, I ate once a day, but even so, I still couldn't survive.

As a last resort, I became a beggar — reaching out for money.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the second turning point in my life.

While begging, I met a man named Uncle Jian, a hermit who had read a book and had a college degree, and such a person looked up to me as a beggar in the crowd.

The opportunities of life are sometimes really difficult to say.

No one could have imagined that my life would set sail.

Uncle Jian, like my wife, thinks that I am a piece of gold that will shine sooner or later, and that it has not been sent now because the time has not yet come. In order to make me shine sooner, he not only funded me but also embarked on a long job search with me.

Along the way, he gave me advice again and again.

At that time, I wanted to go to the big enterprise Qiguo to apply for a job.

Qi Guo is a veteran enterprise, once the boss of the Spring and Autumn Five, in the industry is the existence of the top five, looking for a job, who does not want to find a once and for all, who does not want to find a big platform, high wages, good welfare, and face, I am no exception.

But Uncle Jian tore up my job resume, on the grounds that the country of Qi is not false, but it is not necessarily a strong country. At present, the outside of the Country of Qi looks at the infinite scenery, but the inside is surging undercurrents, such a company may not be long-lasting, and an enterprise that cannot develop sustainably is not far away.

I am a rookie in the workplace, what is good and what is bad, I have no idea, so I follow his advice.

Not to mention, his analysis is really reasonable, I just walked out of the country of Qi, there was civil strife in the country of Qi, the enterprise was in a mess, and the colleagues who had successfully searched for a job with me were killed overnight, and I successfully escaped the disaster.

Leaving the State of Qi, we went to the Zhou Dynasty.

King Zhou likes to raise cattle, it just so happens that I have the skill of raising cattle with one hand, which is a professional counterpart, and it is good for a person who does not have enough to eat to have such a job, so I specially prepared a resume and conducted an interview.

The result of the interview was very successful, and the prince wanted to hire me as a breeder, who was responsible for the company's cattle business, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan.

I agreed without even thinking about it.

When signing the contract, Uncle Jian once again persuaded me, who has not had several job search experiences, do you want to be a cattle breeder in the Zhou Dynasty with your talent, our vision is farther, the outside world is very large, where is your stage.

I think he made sense and voluntarily gave up this hard-won opportunity.

I did not think that in the near future, there would be a rebellion in the Zhou Dynasty, and the company's first-in-command, Prince Decadence, would be killed, and I would successfully escape the disaster.

Leaving the Zhou Dynasty, I came to Yuguo, which is a small enterprise, the main business is the cultural publishing house when I have a very good appetite for me, when the interview, the first and second in command of the enterprise is also very satisfied with my talent, decided to grant me the official position of doctor, the existence of one person under ten thousand people, the monthly salary of 100,000.

Needless to say, I was moved, and I was eager to sign the contract immediately to avoid the night long dream.

But uncle Jian once again appeared to prevent me from signing the contract. The reason is that Yu Guoyi's quality is not high, nor does he have much foresight, but he is just a vain lord, and such a person will not reuse you.

To tell you the truth, I am indeed very grateful to Uncle Jian, at the most confused and helpless time in my life, he stood up and found me, accompanied me out of one failure after another, it can be said that without Uncle Jian, history would not have my existence.

But this time I can't promise him, I'm already in my 30s, I've been wandering for most of my life, and I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future.

The uncertainty of the future has made me afraid of failure, afraid of drifting, afraid of hunger. I needed such a beautiful job to prove myself.

Despite his persuasion, I insisted on staying in Yu Guo and becoming a doctor.

So, we parted ways.

After the contract was signed, Yu Guo was quite polite to me, and occasionally proposed a business plan to take a serious look, but it was not long before Yu Guo began to snub me, and what was even more excessive was that they did not pay me a salary and ignored my existence.

I regret that I made this hasty decision to get on the thief ship and wanted to quit too late.

At that time, the Jin State had been expanding its business volume, as a leading enterprise in the hegemonic industry, the Jin Xiangong had always wanted to annex the Yu Kingdom, in order to successfully complete this great feat, the Jin Xiangong openly flattered the Yu State, and had nothing to send BMW, real estate, and antiques, in order to borrow a road from the Yu Kingdom to attack the southern State of Yu. This was an extremely sinister intention, and at that time, the Grand Master Gong Zhiqi advised Yu Jun: "If you die, Yu will follow it... The proverb 'auxiliary car depends on each other, lips and teeth are cold', its Yu and Yu are also said", but Yu Jun did not listen. I have also reminded Yu Jun many times to be careful of Jin Xiangong, that is a lord who eats people and does not spit bones, but in exchange for white eyes again and again, in the face of such a result, what else can I say? He could only watch as the Jin State began its annexation plan.

Not long after, after successfully acquiring the state of Yu, Duke Xiangong of Jin took advantage of its lack of preparation to attack the state of Yu, destroyed it, and captured Yu Jun and me alive. This is the origin of the idiom "false road cutting" and "cold lips and dead teeth".

The experience of this job search failure also made me understand a truth; on the road of job hunting, there are always some unsatisfactory places, it is useless to be in a hurry, we have to learn to wait, some talents are destined to be unattended, and people who can smoothly turn over against the wind have a heart that strives to be sunny from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, I am such a person.

Next time, my life will set sail against the wind.
