Looking back on the road of life, I am filled with emotion. Here I use poor words to make a summary of my first half life, hoping that people who read this article can gain something from it.
1. Feeling: There is no royal road to life. Poor is rich, old is old. Don't get carried away when you are proud, and don't be disappointed when you are frustrated.
I came to Shenzhen as soon as I graduated from college. Like all young people who have just arrived in Shenzhen, I have been on the sofa of my relatives' house. I was also cheated by the black intermediary in the labor market. I also shared a farmhouse with three other boys in Xinzhou Village, Futian District. At that time, thieves were afraid to come in if they didn't close the door to sleep in summer. Imagine, if the thief is found by four young men and fights around, how can he resist? In those days, we were poor but happy.
At the age of 27, I married my wife. When I got married, I had no house or car, and my savings were less than 5,000 yuan. The wedding was very simple. I invited my relatives and friends and set two tables. The reason is one word: poverty. Now that I think about it, my wife was really great. I don't feel poor at home at all, but I married a poor boy who was "poor and white" at that time. Although the economic situation is not much better now. )
After marriage, we struggled together, and God seemed to open our eyes. Our career (extracurricular tutoring industry in primary and secondary schools) is getting better and better, and everything is going well. I remember at that time we worked hard and kept giving lectures to students. We have no day off seven days a week. There are four hours of classes from Monday to Friday, and eight to 10 hours of classes every day on Saturday and Sunday. Even we are in a hurry to eat. Fortunately, we are still young and can eat, but our voices are often hoarse. Although it's hard, we make money quickly. We go to the bank to deposit some money every week (there is no such scene now). In 2008, an earthquake of magnitude 5. 12 occurred in Wenchuan. My wife and I each donated 100 yuan. Although not much, but also gave a love, from the side shows that our income at that time, relatively acceptable. In 2009, we bought a house in Shenzhen. We didn't borrow money from any relatives or friends. We saved all the down payment, and the rest was mortgaged by China Bank. The loan term is 25 years. Because the business has been good, 20 13, the fourth year of mortgage, that is, when I was 36 years old, we paid off all the mortgage and got back the real estate license.
As the saying goes, "people are good for a thousand days, but flowers are not red for a hundred days." Soon, a large number of practitioners poured into our industry, and large and small educational institutions appeared like mushrooms after rain. Coupled with the emergence and development of online education, the competition in the education market has become very fierce. Even a practitioner like me who got engaged earlier is not as good as before. Then my second treasure was born, but there was no old man to help with the children. We two adults have to make money and take care of two children, and we are often very busy. Some people obviously can earn money because of limited energy and time, but they can't, and their income suddenly drops sharply. Now the money earned every month, in addition to daily expenses, can not save a few money. Shenzhen is rich, but we are poor! In such a high-consumption city, if I continue like this, I will be abandoned by Shenzhen. I once had insomnia. I had palpitations when I was half asleep and half awake. Let's put my business aside first, and then look at another story.
One day in June 5438 +2005 10, Wang, the boss of an electronics company in Shenzhen, located in the Golden Triangle Building of Baishizhou, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, was so shocked that his chin was about to fall off. He never imagined that this dark-skinned, sweaty-faced deliveryman, who was no different from ordinary workers, turned out to be the boss of Yao who had unlimited scenery two years ago. Boss Yao, at the peak of business, Shenzhen had a 1 large factory with 5 suites and 8 cars (including delivery trucks). He is generous and often invites people to dinner. Every time he invites a friend to dinner, he goes to the best restaurant, orders the most expensive food, drinks the best wine, and goes to the best karaoke bar after dinner. Unfortunately, however, he suffered a lot of contract fraud, and his business went from bad to worse until bankruptcy. Forced to make a living, he had to work in the factory he had worked with before, so there was a scene just now. Boss Wang is also a guest at boss Yao's banquet. Yun witnessed the scene where two people met. Boss Wang told me about Yao himself, which is unforgettable to this day. We sympathize with boss Yao's experience, but let's reflect on it for him. Was it because he was drunk, extravagant, drunk and even a little carried away that he failed and went bankrupt?
2. Fate will kill me, I will hold its throat and never bow to it.
Behind everyone who hits the face, there is a self who has never worked hard! After reflecting on Yao's boss, I also reflected on myself. Over the years, I have hardly read any other books except industrial books, let alone learned another skill. Once the situation changed, I was ruthlessly pushed into the storm. As Tangshan laid-off middle-aged toll collector said, "I gave my whole youth to the toll booth, and now I can do nothing but charge." If, if I had read a lot of books and learned one or more skills before I was 40, I wouldn't be in such a mess now. At the beginning of 2065438+2008, I forgot what kind of opportunity it was. The first time I touched it, I saw some small white handwriting that was very inconspicuous at first. Through continuous efforts, they gradually grow up and have income. Later, some people earned considerable income. This suddenly brought hope to Yun Hong. I can also go this way! When I was a student, Yunzhonghong's favorite subject was Chinese. Until the third year of high school, Chinese has been the best subject in all subjects, and it is common for teachers to regard composition as a model essay. Later, I went to college, and my major has nothing to do with Chinese; Later, I took part in the work, which has nothing to do with language. Then, it is more than ten years of depravity. I call this depravity not reading or writing. Now, like an old friend reunited after a long separation, I picked up a pen again, started writing at the level of a high school student, started reading, and started growing up with everyone in my class.
Every step you try to take is very important.
I started writing just after New Year's Day in 20 18. Just sitting in front of the computer, scratching his head, can't hold back a word for a long time. Finally, I thought of a sentence, wrote it down, felt inappropriate, and deleted it and rewritten it. After many twists and turns, I finished a sentence.
Slowly, I can write a line, then I can write a paragraph, and then I can write a small paper about tofu. I know that I am making progress bit by bit, which makes me feel gratified.
At present, I am still a little white in the world. 99.9% of the people here can be my teachers. There is still a long way to go. Although I haven't achieved anything yet, I will resolutely go on!
I remember someone saying that what is lacking on the surface is money, what is lacking in essence is concept, what is lacking in fate is choice, what is lacking in bones is courage, what is lacking in the stomach is knowledge, what is lacking in career is perseverance, and what is lacking in action is change!
I want to say that I am poor, but I don't want to be poor all the time!
