On the eve of Chinese New Year, a neighbor of mine was selling sugar cane on the street. He worked hard every day, got up early and stayed up late, and persevered despite his busy business. During the Spring Festival, his sugarcane stall was even more prosperous, with a daily turnover of more than 6,000 yuan. However, behind the booming business is the hard work of him and his companions. They were often so tired that they couldn't straighten their arms, so they had to rush to eat a few bites of food at noon.
I once asked him curiously how much profit a single piece of sugar cane was. He smiled and did not give out the exact number, which may be his trade secret. But I did a rough math and found that his profit was quite substantial. Take the example of a sugar cane I bought yesterday and it cost 372 yuan, a pound of ** is 4 yuan. This means that, not including other costs, he can make about 50% of the profit from this cane alone.
This discovery made me deeply moved, as long as people are not afraid of hard work and are willing to work hard, they will definitely be able to make money. The example of this neighbor is the best proof of this. He used his sweat and hard work in exchange for rich rewards.
This Spring Festival, although he was busy, he also gained a full sense of joy and achievement. His story teaches us that every effort in life will not be disappointed. As long as we face difficulties bravely and persevere, we will definitely be able to realize our dreams.
