Life is like falling leaves, follow nature and take things as they come. Everything needs to be done at any time, anywhere, casually, and more importantly, it needs to be adapted to the circumstances. Reading more philosophical prose can improve our writing skills. Below is what I brought to you for your enjoyment.
Chapter 1: The Secret in the Footprints
Webber is an ordinary employee of a company. When he first started working, he worked diligently, but later he discovered that there were thousands of people like him in the company, and it was extremely difficult to stand out through hard work. As a result, his enthusiasm dropped sharply and he began to live his life carelessly.
One day, he went to a farm to do errands. The farmer asked him: "How are you doing in the company?" He replied with a wry smile: "Not very good! I am an ordinary employee. There are thousands of people like me. No matter how hard I try, I won’t have any brilliant achievements!”
The farmer laughed and said, “Look back and see if you can find the path we have passed. Footprints?" At this time, the two were walking on the path of the farm. There was no footprints on the smooth road, so he shook his head.
“Indeed, it is difficult to see your own footprints in places where thousands of people have walked!” the farmer said, “but in places where others have not set foot, even in the mud. When walking, you will easily leave deep footprints!"
Webber was suddenly shocked. After returning to the company, he seemed to be a different person. He often put forward some new perspectives and suggestions at work. Although he was still doing the same ordinary job, 15 years later, he became the general manager of the company.
It’s good to have a smooth road in life, but if you hope to see your own footprints on this road one day, then try the places or mud on this road that others have not walked, maybe is necessary.
