A few days ago, I watched a variety show with my wife and suddenly found a familiar figure.
Oh, it turned out to be him, the super big Internet celebrity 12 years ago - "Burnt Cake Handsome Guy"!
When he was making burnt cakes, he was photographed, and because he looked exactly like Jin Chengwu, he became popular overnight.
Many newspapers reported on him on the front page, and even participated in "Happy Base Camp" and "Every Day Up".
However, the Internet celebrities are always blistering, and after 12 years, his fame is gone, the bakery business is also very bleak, and the shop is often unattended.
12 years later, the "handsome man with burnt cakes" married his wife and had children, and he gradually grew old, and even the corners of his eyes were covered with crow's feet.
Although the family is very happy, his only regret is that in the heyday, he did not seize the opportunity to make his career bigger and stronger!
Seeing this, I can't help but sigh.
Think about it more than a decade ago, those Internet celebrities who are in the sky, such as Tianxian Sister, Furong Sister, and Houshe Boy, have gradually disappeared in front of the public.
Life is like this, with ups and downs, there are highs and lows. How red it used to be, how lonely it will be now!

Some time ago, when I took a taxi, I met a taxi driver, this old brother is about 50 years old and has been happy all day.
I asked him, "Now that cars are starting to drive themselves, do you have a sense of crisis?" Will your career be replaced by artificial intelligence in the future? ”
The driver laughed and said, "I'm not worried, if that day really comes, I can do something else." As long as people are diligent, they can always find things to do! ”
He began to "show off" his achievements over the years with me.
Six years ago, when sharing cars first began, he was the first to try them out, and he said that many people at that time rejected it, thought it was too troublesome to use, and may also rob the taxi business. But he didn't care, he thought it was a new thing, and he was willing to try it.
At that time, the taxi, the platform will give a lot of subsidies, may be a single down, the road fee is only 20 yuan, and the platform can subsidize to 4, 50 yuan.
In this way, the driver brother enjoyed the first wave of dividends from car sharing, and he told me that the people who joined the car sharing at that time were very profitable!
3 years ago, new energy vehicles began, their taxi company in the recruitment of drivers to drive electric vehicles, many people are reluctant to sign up, because they think that electric vehicles are a new thing, do not know whether the quality is good or not, do not know whether it is convenient to use.
But this old brother resolutely signed up, he was the first in their team to drive a new energy taxi. As a result, I did not expect that the fuel cost alone would save a lot, and the fuel vehicle would add 300 or 400 yuan per refueling, while the electric car would only be more than 100 yuan per charge. This is not the end, the state has subsidies for new energy vehicles, and he has also received a large subsidy for car purchases.
In this way, the driver's brother also enjoyed the first wave of dividends of new energy vehicles!
Along the way, listening to this old brother talk for a long time, I also felt a lot of emotions.
Life is full of changes and challenges, if you can learn to embrace change and accept challenges, then it is likely to open a new chapter in the development of life!

For a while I was anxious because the leader of our department left because of the infighting in the company, and the previous leader was a Chinese and very good to us, but the new leader was an Israeli, especially iron-fisted.
Coupled with the company's poor financial reports, rumors of layoffs are rampant.
I am the concubine of the original leader, will I be laid off?
I work alone at home, my wife does not have a work visa, and I have to take care of the two children, so my income is the whole family.
My heart is really worried!
Back home, my wife asked about the situation of my company, "The news said that your CEO announced that he was going to lay off 3,000 people, husband, will you be laid off?" ”
My wife's words made my heart freeze, but I still had to pretend to smile indifferently, "It's okay, layoffs and give n+2 subsidies, and there is money to earn!" ”
But I know in my heart that I have run four, programmers are a young man, once I reach the age of ben four, the job will be more difficult to find. If you are laid off, where do you go to find a job?
I'm anxious, but at home I have to pretend that nothing has happened, because I don't want my wife and children to worry along...
During that time, I spent every night studying, learning new techniques, reviewing algorithms, and brushing up on various interview algorithm questions. Later, the kung fu paid off, and with the "advanced age" of 40 years old, he finally found a new opportunity, and the income was much higher than that of the previous company.
The moment I left the company, I was finally relieved!
Life is full of uncertain challenges, but as long as you don't give up on yourself and keep learning, you will always be bright!

Probably because I have experienced more, I regard fame and fortune very lightly, not to be happy with things, not to be sad with myself, I know that life is full of changes, there are highs and lows, we must learn to accept and face.
Yesterday in the car, when I was playing a song, Han Suddenly asked me, "Daddy, why haven't you heard Adele's new song for a long time?" ”
Adele is a fat girl after the British song, when a song "someone like you" was popular all over the world, and the streets and alleys were singing.
But in the past few years, this girl has been very silent!
I told my son that artists need inspiration to create works, and they need to constantly innovate, and the previous pattern of fire is likely to disappear from the crowd after a while. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly inject fresh blood and constantly give the audience new stimulation in order to maintain the long-term vitality of the artist.
Doing art is like this, work, study, life is also like this, a competition to get a high score, a test to get a high score, a job to achieve good results, this is certainly worth rejoicing, but they only represent the past, the future life still needs to continue to work hard.
Life is full of changes, we can't predict what will happen in the future, but the only certainty is that we need to keep learning, so that when the change comes, we can seize the opportunities in life!
I like a quote from Jobs, "stay hungry, stay foolish," Chinese translates as "hungry for knowledge, foolish in heart."
This is the true meaning of a person's career, life, and long-term vitality!
