If one day, an unexpectedly huge fortune befalls you, how would you choose to spend it in just one year?This may be a question worth pondering. Today, we're going to take this question through the real experience of a girl and take some deep food for thought from it.
Article:
The ordinaryness and extraordinariness of life lies in how we view and grasp the opportunities around us. Derpy, a girl born in an ordinary family in Tianjin in 1992, spent her college years as a "step-by-step" and "good girl". However, an event called "Chinese Koi" broke her ordinary trajectory.
Three years ago, Derpy won a list of "worth 100 million" by chance, and with the trauma of being fired by her boss, she chose a trip to go. However, three years later, we find that "Koi" has not made her life more free, but has made her experience more twists and turns.
Derpy's past, like most ordinary people, worked hard to make ends meet through part-time jobs. After graduating from university, she chose a job as an IT engineer, but that didn't mean her life was any easier. The hardships and pressures of the IT industry can be daunting, but Derpy has risen through the ranks from programmer to IT engineer.
However, a Weibo post looking for a "Chinese koi" changed her fate. In just a few days, she became the lucky winner, with a list of prizes worth millions. However, this is not as glamorous as it seems, and she did not hesitate to spend all her savings in order to redeem these prizes, and even maxed out her credit card, and finally fell into a state of physical and mental exhaustion.
Chinese koi bring not only material prizes, but also huge attention and traffic. Derpy tries to tap into these resources through vlogs and shorts, however, she soon discovers that the process is full of twists and turns. The decline in attention and advertising expenses made her feel pressured to re-enter the workforce.
In an attempt to return to normal life, Derpy is caught up in a fake marketing incident. Through the Weibo of "1 yuan transfer of Chinese koi", she announced that she had participated in a global anchor competition variety show, but this was just an advertisement, which made her fall into the whirlpool of ** again.
In just a few years, Derpy has gone through the cycle of going from an ordinary person to a koi fish and then to an ordinary person. She used to be a winner in the workplace, but because of a moment of luck, she gave up her ordinary life. When she tries to reintegrate into society, she finds herself Xi to a casual life, and finding a serious job again becomes a difficult task.
Derpy's story tells us that there is no such thing as pie-in-the-sky fantasies. Every harvest requires effort and precipitation. Perhaps, true luck is knowing how to find a balance between scenery and thorns, and treating every choice in life sensibly. In this noisy world, can we learn to precipitate and become the koi of our own lives like Derpy?This is perhaps a question worth thinking about for everyone.
