In a recent interview, Hu Ge was asked a classic question: Do you want to go back to twenty years old?
Hu Ge was asked in an interview
If you had a time machine, would you choose to go back in time? I think a lot of people will choose – go back.
Some people say that I want to go back to the past, I want to buy Alibaba and Tencent stocks, I have to borrow money to buy when I have no money, and I have to buy iron when I smash pots and sell iron; some people say that I want to go back to the third year of high school, seriously prepare for the exam, and sprint to Qingbei; some people say that I want to go back to the past and express my love for Ta well; others say that I want to go back to the past and quit smoking and drinking.
But what about after you go back? And what can be changed?
The answer is nothing. Go back in time and you'll still make the same choice. Because the past you are not as far-sighted, mature, rational, and sober as you are now.
It is a series of frustrated things that have long been such a you today. If you have not been frustrated, you have not thought that there is another way of life; if you have not been frustrated, you have not seen the self-righteous stupidity of your past.
The American poet wrote a poem called "The Unchosen": "Maybe somewhere in many years, I will look back on the past with a soft sigh: two roads are divided into a forest—and I chose the less inhabited one, and from then on I decided the path of my life." ”
You choose this path and are doomed to lose the scenery on the other road. Life is like this, fish and bear paws are difficult to have at the same time.
If you go back in time, you will still stick to your original choice, because that choice is the result of a combination of experience, knowledge, and experience.
If you let you go back to the past, in the past, you still didn't believe that Alibaba could catch fire, you didn't even know Alibaba; back to the past, you should sleep or sleep in your third year of high school, whether you should be lazy or lazy, because you have not suffered from not reading; back in the past, you still smoke and drink, because at that time you were physically strong and able to do a cow.
Returning to the past is unrealistic, it will not change anything, it will only repeat history.
Many times, going back to the past is nothing more than a beautiful imagination that arises from people's disgust with their current lives. Fantasizing that this imagination can change our choices and lead us to a better life than we do now. To put it bluntly, I am unwilling to bear the consequences of my choices and regret what I have done.
Unfortunately, if you start again, the bad things that were once bad may not get better. We can't control time, but we can control our behavior and avoid regret later.
Earnestly take every step of your current moment, conscientiously do every choice you have now, and go all out to pay for your choices. After all, the present will also be the future of the past.
2. Live like an adult, face your own choices, and pay for your actions. If the results are not satisfactory, find a way to change them until you are satisfied.
