Mr. Zeng Shiqiang's words are thought-provoking and thought-provoking: when you are in a predicament, you must catch no matter how simple things are, no matter how unreasonable your demands are, you must be patient, and no matter how small your hopes are, you must grasp them. In fact, many times, there are many choices in front of us, but because of our personal reasons, many choices will be ruled out.
This passage of Zeng Shiqiang admonishes us to cherish opportunities in difficult situations, even if it seems to be insignificant, we should seize them. At the same time, he emphasized patience and endurance in the face of unreasonable demands, which is a tenacious quality that can help us overcome difficulties. The most important thing is to try to grasp the hope, no matter how small, because it could be an opportunity to change your fate.
This reminds me of a character in Mr. Lu Xun's work "The Scream", Kong Yiji. Kong Yiji considered himself an intellectual, and although he was not valued by society and could not give full play to his talents, he was not willing to be in the company of those around him. He was convinced that he was not of the same class as the others, so even if he drank in a tavern, he did not want to be like everyone else, he had to wear a long gown and stand in the tavern as if he were a man of letters. While the others either sit in the restaurant in long shirts and feast, or stand outside the restaurant in short shirts to drink. Because of his inner persistence, Kong Yiji chose to be different, and became a pathetic little person in the era of the Hundred Schools of Assistance Program, the third kind of person.
Now, many young people also use cheongsams as a metaphor for themselves to express their plight. The number of college students is increasing, but the number of suitable jobs is limited, and the pressure on employment is gradually increasing. In order to get a better job, many college students have to work hard to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the civil service examination, the examination system, and so on. They fear that years of hard work will come to naught if they eventually find a job, just like those who didn't go to college.
However, it is not unemployable for college students, and there are many jobs that can accommodate their talents. However, because of past education and personal pursuits, few people are willing to accept ordinary careers and income. However, it is not easy to find a better job, and the competition rate of the postgraduate entrance examination, civil service examination, and examination system is very high every year, but there are very few people who successfully land ashore.
This reality makes people wonder if they should be more careful in choosing their career path, and whether they should pay more attention to practical career opportunities, rather than pursuing vanity and particularity too much. In difficult times, we may need to let go of some unrealistic persistence and accept a mundane but stable job, after all, every small hope is worth grasping.
But if we find that we can't find a better job, or if we can't get into graduate school, etc., should we compromise and accept the reality in front of us?Or should you stick to pursuing your dreams and not compromise easily?This is a question that requires serious consideration.
Some jobs can be exhausting and not pay well enough to meet our expectations, but life is full of unsatisfactory things, and we can't always expect everything to be perfect. Sometimes, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity in front of you and get through the ups and downs in life.
Be a down-to-earth person, don't look at the masters, and cherish the opportunities in front of you. Even if a job seems ordinary, it has the potential to lead to unexpected opportunities and gains. There is no absolute good or bad in life, the key is how we perceive and make use of the opportunities that exist.
In modern society, we have received more advanced ideas and education, and should no longer be bound by the feudal ideas of the past. The reason why Kong Yiji couldn't take off his long shirt was because he was affected by feudal society and suffered deeply. However, we should have a more open and modern mindset, not be limited by traditional concepts, not be too concerned about face, and think more about our future.
If we can't continue our studies or find our dream job, we might as well focus on how to make the most of the opportunities in front of us, cherish every opportunity, and stick to it. As long as we know how to cherish what is in front of us, we will find that life is still full of hope and meaning.
On the road of life, there is no immutable thing, as long as we do not give up lightly and continue to work hard, there will always be a chance to meet a better future. Therefore, no matter when and where, don't take off the caftan easily, you must persevere, face it bravely, and cherish the opportunity, because only in this way can we go further on the road of life and create more possibilities.
