There is a saying: the world is only as it is seen from the angle from which we see it.A lot of things in life depend on how we look at it.
Due to the bad environment, the real estate industry entered a trough, the company began to lay off employees, and a colleague in our project was laid off, he said that he did not expect that it would be his turn so soon.
The leader said to him: "Don't think it's a bad thing, maybe a bad thing can turn out to be a good thing." ”
Thinking of my cousin, I used to envy him for having a father who was in a bank, he was arranged to work in a bank after graduation, he got married and had a house at home, while I graduated without a job, I had to find it myself, I got married without a house, I had to make money to buy it.
But then my cousin's father died, and he was also optimized by the bank. At that time, he didn't know anything, he didn't know what he was going to do in the future, he had to support his family and children, and he was very anxious.
Later, under the introduction of a friend, he went out to work, worked in an automobile factory, learned from scratch, and later became a skilled person, and was promoted and raised, and bought two houses at home.
If there is no change, it is estimated that he will also live in a small town and live in comfort all the time. Although it is a passive choice, there is a better way out.
We all want to have a secure job and then retire until we retire. But now the times have changed, in recent years, more and more companies have closed down, many people have been laid off, many industries have been eliminated by the times, and there is no so-called stability.
But people who have been staying in the comfort circle, if they don't encounter such a sudden event, maybe they will continue to be happy, which is actually not good for personal development, and if you push yourself, maybe you will get out of a better way.
Many people can't accept being laid off by the company and think it's a bad thing, but in fact, it seems to be a bad thing, and it may be a good thing to change the perspective.
A few years ago, I encountered the so-called "mid-life crisis", the pressure of car loans and housing loans, the aging of my parents, the same position and salary for many years, and no career bottleneck for development.
I sought change in the midst of pain and came out to learn from Xi. In the past, I lived a two-point and one-line life, the circle was very small and closed, thinking that life was like this, going to work, getting off work, work, and family.
I am very grateful that the crises I encountered at the beginning turned into a turning point in my life. If you don't come out, you won't open a window to see the bigger world, you won't look for another possibility in life, and you won't think about the life of your dreams.
Although the growth is slow, I am no longer the same person I was a few years ago, I no longer complain about my work and complain about my situation, but I have found my passion.
We will always suffer because of the frustration and unsatisfactory in life, and those things that make you put into pain are not necessarily bad things, "who suffers, who changes", if there is no pain, there is no change, and pain is also a new turnaround.
Therefore, those who suffer are also used to accomplish you. Those bad things will be good things.
If life is smooth sailing, it may only be as mediocre as boiled water, but some pains and twists and turns in life make life more abundant.
In these uncertain times, many people are afraid to face the uncertainty of the future.
After Yu Minhong came out of Peking University, he faced great uncertainty and did not know whether he could make money or whether he could study abroad Xi. At night, when he didn't have a place to stay, he found a farmer and told him that he could tutor his child and waive his rent if the child got to the top 10 in the class, and he really got that kid up to the top 10 in the class.
When he was at Peking University, he didn't think about doing training classes, if nothing else, he would have been a professor at Peking University and lived a stable and comfortable life. After coming out of Peking University, he went to work as a tutor and run training classes, just to make more money so that he could go abroad, but he didn't expect to create New Oriental later.
"I think uncertainty and possibility go hand in hand," Yu said. At this time, it can be a huge failure, or it can be a chance for future success. ”Uncertainty is not a good thing for us, because everyone is afraid of the unknown, but uncertainty also means more choices and more possibilities in life.
When a person has been in the comfort zone for a long time, it is easy to lose his ability, but in the face of uncertainty, he can stimulate his instinct and be able to exert his ability that he could not see before, which also means more creativity and possibilities.
So uncertainty isn't a bad thing either.
There is a saying in A Tale of Two Cities: "It's the best of times, and it's the worst of times." "The same is true for those who have put it aside to this day.
There are more uncertainties in this era, but also more possibilities.
Let us see more people's life methods, not just have only one track as before, but have more choices, and be able to find their own and most suitable path, so as to live a better self.
There are no bad things in life, and there are no good things, and bad things are also good things from another point of view, and those seemingly good things may not be good things.
