In 2007, the movie "Struggle" was still remembered by many people born in the 1980s. Teacher Li, please stay. We can't let you go, very, very much, but we have to tell you that we have to leave you. We have to go to work, fall in love, and fight. This matter is extremely urgent and we can't wait even a day. Please accept our last words before leaving. greetings. ?
Thirteen years have passed, but recalling these words at the university graduation ceremony still makes people excited: The youth of being one's own master for the first time in life is about to come!
But no matter how many times I watch the drama "Struggle", it seems that only Hua Zi is struggling, and the rest are either tossing or messing around. In the end, it seems that only Hua Zi has achieved a little bit, so what is the meaning of youthful hard work and struggle?
Remember the textbook answer is this:
As long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle; as long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed!
However, both "Struggle" and reality tell us: hard work may not necessarily lead to success. So why do we still struggle? Why keep trying? Why not just go with the flow and let the world have its way?
The answer this time lies in "Twenty Not Confused". While we work hard, we are surrounded at the same time. We are all interns in this new world. We are full of expectations and want to leave a good first impression on others. I would like to say gently, please take care of me when we meet for the first time, but this is a strange world. But he warned us that when we first met, you were insignificant here. ?
Jiang Xiaoguo is the first person in "Twenty Not Confused" to come into contact with the workplace. In order to take root in the big city, she took her "shameless" attitude to the extreme at work, and even flattered her sleazy boss. Looking for a new job, being rejected for an interview, chasing you in the elevator just for a chance. I messed up an order during my internship, so I just followed the customer and enthusiastically blocked the customer's drink, just to say "think about it".
Jiang Xiaoguo’s goal is to get the city to accept her decently.
Others are also working hard to achieve their goals: Luo Yan worked hard to take the postgraduate entrance examination because of the notes written by her mother; Duan Jiabao bought A-grade goods in order to fit in with his colleagues; Liang Shuang took on a lot of debt in order to become a beauty blogger ;Duan Zhenyu practiced hard day and night for fencing?
If told according to the textbook, the following story should be that they each received their due rewards. However, reality is not a textbook, and its cruelty is enough to offset any kind of effort.
For example, Jiang Xiaoguo, she resigned despite her hard work; Duan Zhenyu, for example, worked hard on his left hand and received praise from the coach every day, but he just couldn't participate in the game. The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny. This wise saying, no matter how many years have passed, still applies to everyone who is going through youth. Maybe, we just seem to be working hard
Before attributing the results of our efforts to reality, let us first reflect on the process of our efforts.
Let’s take Jiang Xiaoguo, who works hard in the workplace, as an example. What has Jiang Xiaoguo worked hard for?
In her first job, Jiang Xiaoguo rushed to the office every day in order to successfully pass the internship period. Instead of starting work, she made ginger tea for her boss. It wasn't until the second new boss stopped drinking ginger tea that she began to pay attention to her business. But at this time, she thought of "taking shortcuts" and replacing business capabilities with "hot hits."
In the second job, Jiang Xiaoguo worked even harder. She replaced professional negotiations with her knowledge of the investee, thinking that she could turn the tide, but she did not know that she had planted a bigger mine; she wanted to use the "stop the wine" trick to gain the favor of the investee and convince herself She was knocked unconscious, only to receive a blank stare; she suggested to her boss to take inventory, and almost sent herself to another world.
Is Jiang Xiaoguo working hard? She really works hard, but all her efforts are just for being smart. To put it even worse, she just makes others think she is working hard.
I once saw an essay written by a teacher.
A student who failed to pass CET-4 after taking the test four times came to him dejectedly and said that no matter how hard he tried, he could not pass CET-4. But everyone knows that College English Band 4 is not a difficult test.
The teacher was also puzzled. Later, he had an in-depth exchange with the student and found out that the student was enrolled in the fourth-level class, but almost all the class was engaged in student union activities. "Business"; I did the real questions carefully, but I only studied the answers and never went into details; every time I communicated with my classmates, I didn't remember anything at all? This student almost always holds the Level 4 materials, but very little remains in his mind. Not much.
When it comes to working hard, it’s easy to deceive others and even easier to deceive yourself, but it’s a little harder to deceive the world.
Real effort is not about how much effort or time you spend, but whether you use the right method and have the process of hard work deeply engraved in your mind. Should hard work lead to success or growth?
After we really work hard, let’s look at the results of our hard work.
Compared to Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang’s hard work was more bumpy.
She was on the "stamped list" for the first time when she tried her best. She only showed half of her face when taking a group photo at a big V party. She plagiarized her ideas one after another and was saddled with a large amount of liquidated damages. However, Liang Shuang has a saying that is particularly good: "Trial and error" If you try it right, it is youth; if you try it right, it means growing up. ?
Liang Shuang and Duan Jiabao were beaten by reality before they tasted the sweetness of success in the process of hard work, but they each changed. Dabao is no longer the cash machine princess who has little understanding of the world, and Liang Shuang is no longer the arrogant goddess who is looked down upon by everyone. Their transformation is the best interpretation of their hard work.
As Will Bowen wrote in "A World Without Complaints", hard work may not necessarily lead to success, but it will definitely lead to growth. ?
In the third performance of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", Jinsha dropped her fan twice. Facing the camera, she couldn't hold back her convulsive crying. Afterwards, she posted a long post on Weibo to apologize to "Rainbow Beat".
Although it’s a joke that Sha Shazi can go on a blind date, no one, whether it’s teammates or fans, will blame Jin Sha. Because everyone has seen Jinsha’s efforts. She was originally a singer and had never been exposed to singing or dancing. After joining "Sister Lang", I have been in the vocal group. Jinsha really worked hard to join "Rainbow Beat". She worked hard to make up for the black hole of walking with a small notebook and kept practicing on stage. Standing on the stage, everyone saw Jin Sha, not a singer or an actress, but just a young lady working hard for her dreams.
A netizen commented under Jinsha’s long apology: From the time when your hands and feet were uncoordinated to now, we can all see your hard work. We also know how much hard work deserves to be discovered! ! Written at the end:
There are two very interesting designs in "Twenty Not Confused", one is the collision between Jiang Xiaoguo and Zhou Xun, and the other is the collision between Liang Shuang and the boss of the ham-selling agency. The two are 2 who have just entered the society, and they met two 3 who started their own business in the society, just like "Twenty Not Confused" meets the "Struggle" who has grown up. What lies before youth is no longer Xu Zhisen’s instructive teachings, but the results are constantly confirmed with facts.
Faced with the lofty ideals of people in their 20s and above, people who are over 30 don't understand. They also came from the youth of "Struggle", but the original edges and corners have been smoothed. Therefore, even if they insist on it in words, they still recognize the efforts of youth in their actions. Zhou Xun always found fault with Jiang Xiaoguo, but in his heart he acknowledged Jiang Xiaoguo's persistence, impartiality and impartiality. The boss of the brokerage company seemed to be mercenary, but in the end he compromised on the amount of liquidated damages.
Efforts are indeed always blocked by various cruel realities, but efforts are also supported by various forces.
It is true that hard work cannot bring success, but hard work will definitely bring you amazing growth in life.
