There is a very inspiring and thought-provoking article on the forum, and the strivers in fashionable formal wear will encourage you! From September 2007 to June 2008, I was a senior in college and worked full-time * , I took a two-hour bus to work every morning (Beijing’s subways were few and expensive at the time). After a busy day, I got off work two hours later. After watching the neon lights all the way around the Third Ring Road, I returned to the dormitory, usually at 9 p.m., to eat, play around, and do some homework. Go to bed. Later, I moved to a place close to the company and rented a house. I went to work and got off work every day, went home, washed clothes and mopped the floor, chatted with the girl in the same room, then went to bed, and started all over again the next day. As time goes by, I always feel that something is not normal, as if everything in my life is * Apart from that, I don’t have any abilities. There are always obstacles in communicating with different people. I don’t understand society, and others are not interested in school things. At this time, I realized a problem. I did not have a good balance between my work and life. Apart from work, my life had no color at all. At this time, Yvonne was studying in Canada as an exchange student. She often called me to tell me how dreamy her piano room was, how beautiful the maple leaves were, and even the snowy scenery on the streets there was extremely enviable. This made my tangled heart even more tangled. I lay in bed and thought about it for a long time. I always wanted to learn piano. I always wanted to open a blog to write down my thoughts and progress during my growth. I always wanted to do charity to make myself a happy person. But I have been waiting, it seems that I am waiting for a better time, and it seems that I am waiting for the time when I have money? Or maybe I'm waiting for my heart to be ready. I just thought about it and waited. Keep telling more people what you think, I want this, I want that. But there has been no action. Watching an interview with bicycle king Biao Ge in June, the most common thing the 80-year-old man said was, “If you don’t do some things now, you will never do them again in your lifetime. ”At that time, I was gossiping on the Internet alone in the hotel room, describing my various thoughts to my classmates, and the conversation was very exciting. But at that moment, this sentence suddenly woke me up. I sat up and took the long distance back to Beijing. I found the piano teacher I had made an appointment with and asked her to start arranging lessons for me. I opened my Sina blog that I had written in December 2008 and then stopped for half a year. I saw the 2,000 hits and the crooked words, and started to repost the words I had written in different places bit by bit. After returning to Beijing, I quickly booked a flight to Sichuan. I started asking many people to find me some children who needed help. ； I started to set up a small foundation with part of my salary, a little bit of money every month. I hope that over time I can help others more. At the same time, I started to travel seriously and saved a fixed special fund for travel every month so that I could go further and see more when I had time to travel. I asked Teacher Zhai to help me popularize knowledge about classical music and stocks. ； I began to actively expand my network and invite others to dinner to communicate. ； I began to learn to encourage and praise others, instead of ignoring people I didn't like like before. Ignoring others also hurt others. I took out the English books from the bookshelf and started memorizing words, watching English movies, and watching American TV programs. I started going to the bookstore to buy various books to read and take notes. I started working on a lot of things I had been planning. Today is September 26th. I can sit in front of the piano and play "Kiss the Rain" in its entirety. I can even listen to simple music and write my own score. The teacher said that I am very surprising to her. ； I began to listen to classical music with Teacher Zhai and appreciate Abbado’s exquisiteness with my heart. ； I started to learn to read stock trends, read financial and business books, and learn to read annual reports, although I still didn’t seem to be able to discern any clues. ； I established“ * The public welfare projects of "Growth Plan" have already had four projects funded by private donations and received generous help from Teacher Zhai. ； I started blogging, writing about my growth, career, and life. More and more people followed me. I met wonderful and diverse friends, and created my own brand and style. I even received at least ten emails from netizens every day, and my words gradually turned into articles and were published directly. I saw the glittering silver of the Bund, and I went to see the bright lights of Chongqing. Although many people in this place have been on business trips, I didn’t have the opportunity to travel, so I spent my own money to go. I always remember the saying "If the environment doesn't move, then I will go on my own." I got to know a lot of amazing people in different fields, and learned from them * Benefited a lot ； I also met a lot of people who are not so awesome but very kind and gentle, and I felt the taste of trust and sincerity. ； And the English that I have always valued most has gone from not being able to understand the content of company meetings, to laughing when others laugh, to being able to communicate with foreigners freely without knowing why, and even learning to quarrel and lose temper with foreigners. The American grandfather said that he remembered me as a very hard-working person because I was very busy every time he came to eat with me. But now I am even busier, and there are so many things to be busy with besides work. I told him that I didn’t feel very busy. During the year when I lost contact with him, I did many, many, many things, and I learned to arrange everything in an orderly manner. When there are other contents in the balance of life besides work, work and life can become balanced. He looked at me in surprise, watching me slowly drinking coffee in front of him, smiling slightly, speaking much more fluent English than last year, and smiling more sincerely and beautifully than last year. This year, I grew up rapidly. Because I really started to take action, my life changed qualitatively. Many times we think that with a good job, life will have meaning and security, but life is not only rose-colored. Many times we need to stand on the rose-colored head and look at other colors, and from time to time bring other colors over and mix them with the rose-colored to see what flowers will emerge. The eight hours of work determine your professional knowledge, your ability to make money, and the entire fulcrum that supports you as a social person. ； The eight hours outside of work can determine what kind of person you will become.
