Man is a strange animal, always dissatisfied with himself.
When people are over 30 years old, they will suddenly find that they have accomplished nothing, and all kinds of anxiety will follow.
After 40 years old, I still feel that I have accomplished nothing, and the crisis of middle age will come quietly.
We are eager to have the most complete life and don't waste our time.
But what kind of life is the most complete
Everyone will have a different answer.
Be a big official? Make big money? Are these the most complete?
Ask the soul, maybe not.
My answer is: do your best and don't feel sorry.

How do you know if you haven't spelled it?
Ma Yun once said: "I never thought that Alibaba would completely change my life. I just want to do a little business. I never thought it would develop to such a large scale. "
Indeed, without a hard battle, who can predict how big Alibaba will develop?
Ma Yun, Ma, Ren, etc. , even Tu Youyou, isn't it?
I know a post-70s entrepreneur, whose current annual output value is around 500 million, and the goal is to reach 10 billion in a few years.
In his industry, every product is customized, and the scale benefit is not significant.
More than a decade ago, almost all local practitioners thought that the output value of 50 million yuan was a ceiling and it was impossible to go up again.
The reason is similar. In this line, the master takes the apprentice and the apprentice starts his own business. Every enterprise is not big enough to live a life of small wealth and security.
However, as a newborn calf, he broke into this business, but he was not convinced. He must work hard and make a breakthrough.
Ten years have passed, what is the result?
50 million, he broke through, and everyone changed their minds and said 1 100 million is the ceiling.
100 million, he broke through, and they changed their mind to say that 200 million is the ceiling.
200 million, he still broke through, and everyone said that 300 million is the ceiling.
In this way, the ceiling that everyone looked at was upgraded with his efforts.
With his example ahead, more enterprises have followed suit and made collective breakthroughs.
Even so, his current goal of 1 billion is still not optimistic.
But so what?
He still has to fight.
In the face of doubts, he loves to participate in the marathon and he is very excited to go back: "How do you know if you haven't spelled it?"
You haven't spelled it yet. How did you know?
If you know everything, you are a fairy.
You are not a fairy, you don't know.

If you don't try your best, how can you fight?
I have met some people who always like to shout slogans such as "Only hard work can win", and give themselves chicken soup and chicken blood.
It seems that if you think about it in your head and hum it again, it will really spell.
But the truth is a bit hard.
When I was a child, a neighbor's brother, who was four or five years older than me, had rich experience and looked quite positive. He belongs to the kind of person who is good at shouting slogans.
He didn't do well in school, entered a vocational secondary school, became a soldier after graduation, and went to Guangzhou to be a bodyguard for his distant cousin after demobilization.
At that time, it was said that he carried a small suitcase all day, and a handcuff locked his wrist and suitcase, which was full of money.
A few years later, my cousin's business stopped and she went to Shenzhen to drive a taxi alone.
A few years later, he returned to his hometown, married his wife and continued to drive a taxi.
The neighbor's brother likes to shout the slogan "Only hard work can win". I came home from Guangzhou and Shenzhen for the New Year, and my mouth was full of chicken soup, as if the future was in my hands.
If you don't really know him, you will think that he is a good speller. Maybe because he didn't get good grades, God didn't care enough about him.
But I know him too well.
When I was five or six years old, I have been running around with him all day, playing everywhere, swimming in the river, fishing frogs, digging cicadas, catching sparrows, watching videos and playing billiards ... in short, I play anything interesting.
It would be strange if he could study hard.
When he is an adult, he can drink from noon until midnight and play mahjong until midnight the next day.
Perhaps, this is also very hard, right?
In his own mind, he has worked hard in his life, suffered a lot, suffered a lot, and finally didn't get much. He can only blame bad luck.
But in my opinion, he never tried his best, just symbolically, that's all.
Many people, including me, like him, did not try their best, but complained that life was unfair.
You didn't try your best, you didn't try.
Life owes you nothing.

What's the harm of losing?
Dare to lose and win is the king of success.
Winning or losing is a common occurrence in military strategists, and you can't win even if you fight hard.
However, if you are afraid of losing from the beginning and even afraid to take the first step, why don't you have a chance to win?
In other words, if you lose the first time, you will never dare to try the second or third time. Is it possible to turn over?
In fact, all the great men, heroes, masters you can think of, even those generations of heroes, have experienced countless ups and downs, and every failure has become the foreshadowing of the next success.
In their view, it doesn't matter if you lose. They should actively make a comeback, learn lessons, adjust their strategies, stand up again and win the next time.
The real loser in life is to lose too much, dare not lose again, and never get up.
While visiting a small factory, I met a man who was completely defeated by life.
This man is less than 30 years old, only has a junior high school education, has done small business for a while, and has not continued to do it after losing money.
Ask him what he usually does.
He replied that he usually plays at home and comes to help when his neighbor's small factory is busy.
Ask him again, how long has it been like this?
The answer said, four or five years.
You can see from his eyes that this man has been completely defeated. There is no fighting spirit in his eyes, only a kind of cowardice.
As soon as you meet such a person, you can immediately feel what is hopeless.
We are fortunate to live in a great new era, which is more perfect than any previous era.
Medical insurance, social security, subsistence allowance, compulsory education, etc. , built an unprecedented line of defense.
For most people, even if they lose many times, there is still a chance to start again.
What are you afraid of?
You must believe that all your efforts will not be in vain in the end.

It's never too late to start fighting.
Many times, we always think too much and do too little.
Hemingway wrote in The Old Man and the Sea: "Now is not the time to think about what you lack, but what you can do with what you have."
The so-called three prerequisites for success, namely, the right time, the right place and the right people, will never wait for you in the same place.
Only by starting and putting it into action will the road ahead get wider and wider, and what you see will get farther and farther.
From 0 to 1, from 1 to 10, and then from 10 to 100, no one knows when success will take care of you.
As we all know, we have a group of top elderly entrepreneurs, including:
Liu Chuanzhi started his business at the age of 40.
Zong Houqing started his business at the age of 43.
Ren Zheng Fei started his business at the age of 44.
Chu Shi Jian started his business at the age of 75.
Do you think it's too late for them to lead the way?
My parents are a good example.
In the late 1980s, a wave of layoffs from state-owned enterprises swept my parents.
They stood on the threshold of 40, but they all lost their jobs overnight.
After the initial pain, my parents patched things together, borrowed money from relatives and friends everywhere, and opened a small furniture store for 12 hours a day, 360 days a year.
Compared with them, what is the "996 working system" that has been repeatedly screened now?
It has been more than ten years. Although we didn't save much wealth, we used such a small shop to put our two brothers through college.
My parents' hard experience has been verified countless times by thousands of older laid-off workers in Qian Qian.
What is the fear of hitting the water in the middle stream and stopping the flying boat in the stormy waves?
It's never too late to start fighting now.

Do your best and have no regrets.
Fight, you must do your best.
If you don't try your best, you will never know how far you can go and how high you can go.
If you don't try your best, you will always leave all kinds of regrets, and it will be too late to regret it at some point in the future.
Ren Hema once wanted to sell his own business, even at the last moment of signing the contract.
If so, will there be the great glory of Huawei and Tencent today?
No one dares to say that history cannot be assumed.
Only by making every effort to create the future with your own hands can you verify how far you can go.
Only by doing your best and doing your best can you really convince yourself not to regret it.
Go to fight, and don't let your future self feel sorry again!
Go to fight and win perfection for your life!
