1988 On May 25th, the seriously ill writer Lu Yao drew the last full stop for Ordinary World, and then he threw his pen out of the window.

In the next 33 years, the years alternate and the times change, but the pain and anxiety of ordinary people in the book still make people feel the same from generation to generation.

In this life, people generally have to endure four kinds of hardships to be happy.

1

The first pain: the family can't support the ideal.

Born in a poor family, Sun Shaoping knew his destiny very early.

There are no powerful connections, and no rich people keep trying to make mistakes.

After graduating from high school, he can only go back to the countryside, work like his father and brother every day, and struggle for life.

But I have seen the vast world in books and newspapers, how can I be willing to be trapped in the yellow land all my life?

Sun Shaoping went to work in the city alone, trying to live his own life.

But it's hard to stand in a strange place.

In order to make a living, Sun Shaoping, who has no skills and does nothing, can only start from a small job, do the hardest work and earn meager money.

In order to cater to the preference of the contractor, he pretended to be illiterate on his own initiative in order to get more job opportunities.

This kind of sadness is like the plight of many people when they were young-although they yearn for poetry and distance, they must first solve the suffering of daily necessities.

Poverty is not the original sin, but it is the heaviest shackle, which locks up the frivolous youth and traps the lofty ideal.

The only thing that can be overcome is the persistent yearning for the future.

Despite the difficult environment, Sun Shaoping is still positive. He tried to do his job well and create conditions to study secretly.

Finally, his diligence and tenacity were recognized by many people and he was recommended to work in the coal mine. He also became a monitor and was loved by people.

With a stable income, you can support your father, take care of your sister, and spare no effort to think about the future.

Although this progress is very small, it has made him more confident in life.

In life, many "Sun Shaoping" are experiencing the same dilemma: they have high aspirations, but they have to be bound by a poor family environment.

Some people have been wiped out by poverty, and only complain and lament to cover up their weakness.

More and more people are swimming against the current in the whirlpool of fate, perhaps with little strength, but they never stop.

As Dr. Huang Guoping, an unpopular doctor who recently blew up his circle of friends, said in his thank-you letter:

"Along the way, the belief is very simple. Go out after reading the book and live for a lifetime. "

No one can choose their own starting point, the only thing we can grasp is the location of the end point.

Get a bad hand, only on their own, can spell out the "king bombing" life.

The second bitterness: ability is not worthy of ambition.

Compared with his well-read brother Sun Shaoping, Sun Shaoan, who dropped out of school early, may have less education, but he is by no means lacking in ambition.

As soon as the production contract responsibility system was budding, Sun Shaoan dared to take risks and led the members of this production team to blaze a new trail.

As soon as the social control over commerce was released, Sun Shaoan keenly discovered business opportunities, opened brick kilns and became the first rich people in the village.

Success nourished the courage to expand, and the villagers' help gave him a reason to act.

Sun Shaoan borrowed money, bought machines, hired people, held a press conference, and turned a small brick kiln into a big brick factory with great ambition.

Due to the lack of professional skills, he must rely entirely on brick burners.

I didn't expect the newly hired master to be fake, and all the burnt products were waste products.

He can't manage the fine work, but out of kindness, he recruited more villagers to work.

Now, instead of generating benefits, we should try our best to lend money everywhere to pay everyone.

A cavity enthusiasm, bleak end.

This result is embarrassing, but not surprising.

In On Loyalty and Machiavellian, it is said that if you can't stand up for yourself, the damage will be great.

If you can't find the right way, the harder you work, the farther away from your goal.

When the ability is not as good as the ambition but is put into action, all efforts become a disaster.

Fortunately, after learning from these mistakes, Sun Shaoan bounced back.

He borrowed money again, found a reliable brick-burning master, and seriously studied brick-burning technology.

This time, he only hired the necessary people, not greedy, not aggressive, slowly and steadily, and finally let his career grow sturdily.

In fact, people live in the world, and ambition and ability are twin brothers. Ability is the soil that nourishes ambition, and ambition is the direction that guides ability.

Out of sync is the normal state of life, and acceptance and improvement are the only correct choices.

Mo Yan said:

"When your talent can't support your ambition, you should calm down and study; When your ability can't control your goal, you have to sink your heart and experience it. "

Although thousands of miles away, it is only accumulated step by step.

No matter how high the swan's ambition is, it can also be broken down into small goals and turned into small abilities; It is actually the fastest way to make up for small abilities, surpass small goals and walk slowly.
