Come to think of it, it's true. Whenever we need a certain skill for work, we always regret that we didn't study in advance, and only now have we spent more time and cost.
We often blame ourselves for not working hard and giving up easily, making a mess of the present situation.
Tell some stories.
When I went to college that year, several students around me reported to the driving school and wanted to use the relatively abundant time to take the driver's license test. At that time, several of our roommates also considered it, and only the fourth one signed up. We haven't moved, or think it's useless to learn this now, and we don't drive after graduation, so we don't worry; Either I feel that there are many people signing up now, the study period is long, and the summer is too hot; Either I think it will cost my parents money to learn to drive now, or I will wait until I earn money from work.
As a result, it was delayed until I learned to drive after working for a year or two, and I found it more painful than before. Besides the high registration fee, the most fatal thing is that I have no time to go to driving school after work, and I can't concentrate on my studies for a while. I have to go several times every once in a while, and I have to find a new car every time. Remember to practice slowly until the Spring Festival. The coach said that you can take the exam in a few years, but you must come back to practice early on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, because after next year, you will definitely return what you have learned before to the coach.
I remember that it snowed heavily on the sixth day of that year, and several of us were sweeping the snow in the training ground. We can't see the white lines on the ground clearly, so we hung one after another during training. The coach covered his face and said, "Sure enough, everything is the same after the Chinese New Year. It seems that my performance will be over this month! "
On the day of the exam, it was snowing in the sky, adding a touch of sadness. Fortunately, we all passed smoothly, and the coach smiled happily when he received our call: I didn't work overtime in vain during the New Year, hehe.
By the time I got to subject three, I was even more sad, and I couldn't even save the right time for the weekend. In addition to busy work, many drivers are office workers, so it is difficult for anyone to make an appointment on weekends. Even if they go, they will queue up for three hours and get on the bus 10 minutes. Fortunately, after several chats, I got to know our coach, who is more humane. We arranged for four office workers to learn to drive at the same time and go to him to practice driving after work at night.
In this way, I rush to walk one kilometer after work every day and change buses twice to learn to drive. The four of us took turns learning to drive at night, watched the stars together for two or three weeks, and finally went to the exam. Fortunately, everyone passed.
At that time, every time I stood in line to practice driving, I wanted to slap myself 10 thousand. Why should I be lazy then? I have to make up many times now. It is really a feeling of "no pain before, no pain after".
Want to cry without tears.
Dayong is deeply touched by one thing now. Some time ago, the training arrangement of their company was decided, which is an opportunity to go abroad for training. The boss of the department won him a place and asked him at that time, "Is there any problem with English when we leave in a month?" In order not to lose the chain, Yong immediately replied: "The foundation of that year is still there. It is no problem to make up for this time. "
In order not to lose face in front of other colleagues, Dayong began to ponder how to pick up English when he got back. After all, he didn't study hard at first, and the CET-4 exam was also taken casually. Now he almost only remembers ABC.
But time is running out and there is no way. Dayong asked a young teacher from a training institution to guide him to learn English after work every night, including basic oral English and business conversation, and also took him to learn their professional English together.
I'm tired from work every night, and I have to be tortured by English for more than two hours. It's killing me. During that time, I was seriously short of sleep, so I was brave and full of energy. Don't betray yourself in front of the leaders. Never drinking coffee, he began to charge himself with coffee.
Walking on the way to work, Dayong looked up at the stars in the sky ... Oh, I haven't seen the stars for a long time, they are all dark clouds. Dayong especially regrets that he didn't learn English well in college. Otherwise, he wouldn't work so hard now, wasting time, energy and money.
"If I have a box of moonlight, I must go back and learn English well ..."
Xiao Tao loves writing and is the only amateur writer among my friends who insists on writing code words on novel websites. This guy is a science and engineering man, but he has the romantic thinking and emotional brushwork of a liberal arts student. When he was in college, this guy wrote in the dormitory all day and wrote some novels that we didn't like.
He said that he once had a martial arts dream. He wanted to hold a sword and do chivalrous things in the Jianghu. Later, I found that I was not suitable for martial arts, so I had to move this thing to my pen.
We all despise him. Although we have all had similar dreams, just thinking about who will really do it, we will put a big silly fork in our hearts. In those days, who could survive by writing?
Xiao Tao ignored everyone's ridicule and turned to continue writing his story. Writing about the change of the sun and the moon, writing about darkness, is said to be just for the attendance award of the website. At that time, no matter how beautiful words and touching stories were, it was hard to get ahead. You can only earn some steamed bread money in the corner of the novel website
After graduation, people seldom hear his story. Just a while ago, I heard from a friend that Xiao Tao has a stable job and writes in his spare time. At present, his writing income has exceeded 5,000 yuan a month. Although it doesn't seem too much, for Xiao Tao, a relatively free life in his own city is enough.
Later, I heard that Xiao Tao found a girlfriend who was his reader. They got along well, and his girlfriend became the first reader of his story. The person you like leans against the window, watching you write and listening to your latest story. That's great.
After listening to his story, someone always said with a little envy and hatred: "At first, I despised his efforts and persistence, and thought his college life was too boring and hard. Now we get hit in the face. In college, I really regret not insisting on cultivating a skill that I like and can achieve. "
Yes, we often find the preciousness of time when everything is about to turn over.
Cai Kangyong once said:/kloc-When you were 0/5 years old, you found it difficult to swim, so you gave up swimming. At the age of 65,438+08, when you meet someone you like and ask you to go swimming, you have to say "I can't". 18 years old, found English difficult and gave up English. At the age of 28, I have a great job and need English, so you have to say "I can't". The more troublesome my early life is, the lazier I am to study, and the easier it is to miss the people and things I am interested in, as well as the new scenery later.
We often talk about exercise. I made an appointment with my friend to climb the mountain, but I insisted on it twice and then stopped going. I stayed at Ge You's house at the weekend, and my next-door neighbor persisted for three months, tanned and strong. We often complain that our favorite god/goddess doesn't even look at you? What do you like about you? An enterprising mind or an increasingly arrogant body?
We often complain that it is difficult to find a job. Why did other students graduate, and the company begged him to find a job himself, or cried and begged the company to give him an interview?
In fact, what you don't know is that when everyone else is taking part in the competition and staying up late to make plans, you are lying in the dormitory and sleeping. Occasionally, if you don't prepare carefully, you complain that you have delayed your lunch break. If you don't work hard, you won't get the prize, and you complain that the game is unfair. There must be something in it.
What a ghost! Look at other people's miserable days. You can't stand it. You ran to the lab at noon and didn't have time to eat. You bought two loaves of bread, but you are reluctant to buy milk. You brought a big glass. In summer, you hide in the dormitory to eat watermelon and play drama, and they hand out leaflets in People's Square. You sleep late on weekends, and they do morning exercises by bus. ...
The gap between us and others is not widened day by day, but day by day.
Of course, there are times when we feel very painful. Should I stick to it?
In fact, you can choose the pain now and the comfort in the future. You can also choose to be comfortable now, double your pain in the future, pay a lot of time costs and never return opportunities.
When you figure it out, you will be calm, whether it is now or in the future. You choose.
