What if one day, fate gives you a hammer and pushes you into the abyss of despair, are you waiting for the arrangement of fate?Or do you gather strength and challenge your fate?
In the book "Believe", Cai Lei, vice president of JD.com, recorded his mental journey of being diagnosed with ALS and the whole process of finding hope.
Yu Minhong, chairman of New Oriental Education Group and CEO of Oriental Selection, commented after reading the book:
There are always those who, like Prometheus, want to pass on the fire that illuminates the darkness to humans, even if they are chained to the cliffs and are entrailed by vulture eagles every day.
Cai Lei is such a person!”
If you find life too difficult, you might as well read the book "Believe".
As Cai Lei said:
Life is made up of a series of accidents - unexpected failures, unexpected difficulties, unexpected gains, unexpected gifts.
The only thing we can decide is what we choose to believe. ”
When you really read this book, you will find that life is not as expected, ten out of ten.
When suffering really comes, for pessimistic people, it is to give up and destroy, and for optimistic people, it is to believe, to be born again.
Cai Lei said in the book "Believe" that at the age of 41, fate played a big joke on him.
He has a disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS, and there is currently no specific drug, and the ** rate is 0. Can only live for 2-5 years.
In the past, he was strong, worked hard, devoted himself to his work, and was a person who regarded time as his life.
However, the sudden blow forced him to be admitted to the hospital, and from the extravagant misdiagnosis to the diagnosis, he experienced unimaginable physical and mental torture.
I once wanted to choose euthanasia with my patients, but euthanasia requires 300,000 yuan, and I can't afford to die", I had no choice but to dispel this idea.
Since you can't die, just like Shi Tiesheng said: "Don't die yet, try to live and see." ”
Life has always been like this, a greeting does not call, the mud and sand are all down, so that you have no boat to cross, no branches to rely on.
As Cai Lei said: "If we don't work hard ourselves, can we expect others to work hard for us?"”
When he faced up to the disease he had, he read a lot of information, **
Seeing many kind-hearted patients hovering on the verge of despair, he suddenly realized that I should use my resources and abilities to do something.
So, he started a race against time, using his shrinking body and strong will to unite patients and establish a large database.
Through various channels, scientists and medical scientists were contacted to speed up the development and treatment of ALS medical drugs, and left a last word to donate the body for medical research.
Open the live broadcast room of the "Icebreaker Station" and invest the money earned in medical research ......
Nothing happens overnight, and when he was physically and mentally exhausted, he lost control of his emotions and yelled at his wife: "What else can I do?".”
He has also sorted out his mood countless times and told himself: "If you fight, you may not win, but if you don't fight, you will definitely lose." If no one is going to do it, then I'm going to do ......”
He has experienced countless difficulties and blows, and everyone says that the efforts he has made are nothing more than his own wishful thinking.
Some people say that he is **, some people say that he is full ......of private pockets, and some people say that he has nothing to do
But when he thought of his own illness, of those patients who were in urgent need of medicine, and of the insurmountable medical problem of human beings, he gritted his teeth and persisted in ......
Although he is still on the way, he has seen hope, received help and encouragement from people from all walks of life, and has made great progress in his career.
Cai Lei's story gives us unlimited spiritual strength, and in the face of the impermanence of fate, "even if we are invincible, we will never give in".
Perhaps, we cannot control the arrangement of fate, but we can choose our attitude towards fate.
Once you decide what to do, believe in yourself and believe in the power of believing.
In many things, it is not that we can work hard when there is hope, but that we can see hope only after we work hard.
Haruki Murakami once said:
No matter who it is, no matter what time it is, people always have to look for a romantic glimmer around the dark clouds to live. ”
For his choice, Cai Lei never regrets it.
Even though he was not treated, he thought that if one day, because of his efforts, many patients with ALS could be treated and let them see hope, it would be his greatest wish.
Cai Lei is a beam of light, not only illuminating himself, but also using his own strength to bring him hope in life.
As long as there is a breath left, he will go on this road passionately, overcoming obstacles and living to die.
As human beings, we will always encounter countless setbacks and challenges, which crush us like mountains and make us unable to breathe.
But no matter how difficult it is, we must grit our teeth and persevere, and wait for the spring flowers of life to bloom and turn around.
We always have to believe that only after the relentless blows of life can we know the true definition of happiness, and only after the hard blow of fate can you find hope and vitality in desperate places.
If you think life is too difficult, read Cai Lei's story to see his twists with fate, his reconciliation with illness and his rebirth after the Jedi.
As long as you believe in yourself and believe in the power of believing, you will definitely find the answer you want in the pain and confusion.
