"If you are in hell, keep going", this is a famous saying of Churchill. I probably read it in Chinese textbooks when I was in high school, and it had no political color at all. After all, for a person whose politics has always been on the passing line, it has no color at all.

At that time, reading novels would be confiscated and you could only read them secretly. However, Chinese reading books were different. They were read openly on the table during self-study classes. I liked this kind of arrogance, so I often read reading books.

The first time I saw this sentence, it felt like a spring breeze, and my heart felt like it was struck by ten thousand lightnings, mist, mist, mist, mist~ Doesn’t this mean me? In other words, most high school students feel this way, with endless homework and prediction questions. Later, when I was working, I realized that this is hell, and my time in school was simply heaven on earth.

In 2013, when Si Rui Creative was first established, like all startups, there were various difficulties and the plan was stuck. Big Fatty always smiles with a shiny face and says full of hope for the future: "We have hit rock bottom, we can't get any worse, we just wait for a rebound." Thinking about it now, every dark year, we are supporting each other. Come over, even until Big Fatty leaves, we don’t have a rebound, but we are all moving forward separately.

As time went by, I gradually understood the concept of "late blooming and long-term accumulation", just like Mu Xin said: "If you don't mature early, you are not a genius, but genius must bloom late."

Time , will bring pain to growth, leave a mark, and precipitate the breath of life.

The best way to preserve grapes is to turn grapes into wine;

The best way to preserve years is to turn years into poems and paintings.

Precisely because life is not easy, we must love life and learn to cherish it.

When Lao Ye received an interview notice from Wanda, he was shocked by Wanda's terrible overtime culture. HR said directly: "Only the few hours you sleep every day belong to you, and the rest belongs to the company."

Most of the people who left worked overtime because they were dissatisfied. After all, the body is the capital of revolution.

However, there are still countless passionate young people rushing to go to these companies, voluntarily working overtime and risking their lives.

My health is not good, my mood is bad, my work is prone to mistakes, it’s like an endless cycle of nightmares that I can’t wake up from. Young people who work overtime and stay up late are often the backbone of society. But when the pressure from work, society, and family becomes more realistic, dreams no longer serve as motivation, but become illusory.

We all know that working overtime and staying up late is bad for our health, and we all understand the truth, but even if we are unwilling to do so, we still have to be passionate enough to risk our lives.

They are all young people who risk their lives.

An old classmate who has been a housewife for five years expressed her envy of the freedom of an empty-nest young woman like me. Little did she know that while she was watching dramas and eating melon seeds at home, I was racking my brains to write a case; While she was playing mahjong with her legs crossed, I was staying up late anxiously making work plans.

Our parents made the choice of marriage and career in their 20s. It is difficult for them to understand the inner wandering and panic we choose to experience.

However, so what, this path is your own choice. Maybe you were like me, and your parents tried their best to persuade you to find a stable job and live a stable life.

But you just don’t listen.

You must choose a life in which "no one asks me whether my porridge is warm, and no one asks me whether I am ready for the evening."

Loneliness is the image of a group of people of the same age, but it is pushed forward by time.

A reader left a message: "The most lonely time I felt was when I looked through my address book but couldn't find anyone I could contact." Damn it, to be honest, this kind of thing is really scary. Who can live to this age without having a lot of things in their heart and nowhere to talk about it.

Fortunately, I am relatively shameless. Whenever something happens, I will grab Watermelon, Fatty, Lao Ye or Jiji and nag at me. To be honest, everyone must have 1-2 confidants who can talk to them at any time. They can tell you the truth no matter what, and others will take the trouble to help you find a solution.

I remember one time when I went to a client company, I happened to hear her scolding an intern. The little girl came out of it with a pile of information in tears, her head lowered and her shoulders stretched all the time. Trembling, probably crying.

I often feel sorry for these little girls, because I have also experienced their sadness and frustration.

After the critical blows of the years, we understand that life is not so lucky and random, and we need to learn a skill called: hard resistance.

Since the age of 18, my life has been like catching up with a fast-moving train, and I have said goodbye to vulnerability.

I think everyone has come this way. We have become accustomed to getting up early every day and squeezing the subway and bus. We have become accustomed to holding an umbrella alone to go home on rainy nights. We have become accustomed to supporting ourselves when we are sick. We have become accustomed to pretending to be strong. We have also begun to learn to admit it. The pretentiousness and rebelliousness we once had were just fantasies of our youth, but we never compromise or bow our heads.

I wonder if there will be times when you feel that you are quite useless, moneyless, lazy, and ugly.

Sometimes when I look at fashion models, especially Rebecca, I feel even more inferior: the sea is all water, the supermodel is all legs.

When I came back and looked at myself, there was nothing.

However, I think it is a great attitude to dare to deny yourself. This shows that we still have room for growth and progress, and we still need to learn. Spicy crayfish is out of season, and spicy crab and McDonald's twisty fries will soon be available. Thinking about it makes me feel full of fighting spirit and chicken blood.

I hope that after all your hard work at get off work, there will be someone who can take off all your guard and support you.

Wipe away your tears and continue to resist.
