Keep it dark

Text/Cha Yiyi

This Buick business car was driving on the road at night. As I sat in the car, I wanted to go to another city to visit my sick mother, and I felt a sense of urgency to return home.

The oncoming vehicles passed by quickly. The bright car lights shine through the car window, dazzling people. But no matter how urgent I feel, whenever there is a car coming in front and we meet head-on, the car will always slow down. On the narrow road, it almost stops to let other cars pass.

The driver turned his head and said apologetically, there was nothing we could do, the lights of this car were dim so that both of us would be safe.

I looked ahead. The lights of this car were indeed dim. The lights of other cars were bright and dazzling. But the lights of this car were orange and could only illuminate themselves. and the road in front of you will not hurt each other's eyes. I can only complain about the quality of this car. Who knows, the driver said that the performance of this car is quite good.

We chatted wordlessly along the way, talking about people and things in the unit. In the end, the opinions were unanimous. Those who know how to be humble and courteous are popular in the workplace and have good popularity; while those who are self-righteous, no matter how many haloes they have above their heads and how dazzling they are, they will always be avoided. Of. The driver said that when driving, we pay attention to "courtesy and courtesy". In fact, this is good for others and ourselves, and it is a wise saying.

As I was almost arriving at my destination, I finally couldn't help but feel curious and asked, is it because the car lights are so dim that there is no corresponding technology?

The driver smiled. If you want the lights to be bright, you can make the lights as bright as you like. Small private factories can also produce very bright lights, but the original lights of this kind of car are so dim. , Technology is not a problem. The manufacturer of this car has very strong brand strength and technology. It may be related to the manufacturer's design concept. It wants to be brighter for others and darker for itself.

These words touched me deeply.

Let others shine a little brighter, and yourself a little darker - full of the concept of humanistic care. Don't compete with others for "light" and keep the "dark" to yourself, so as to ensure each other's safety.

I am finally impressed by the designer’s painstaking efforts. Being a bit darker is not showing off your strength, but showing your simple thoughtfulness through small details.

All great men, from Galileo and Francis to Martin Luther King, grew up from ordinary people and once did ordinary things with ordinary people. Perhaps no one among their partners thought that one day these people would change the trajectory of people's lives and change the destiny of mankind.

The seeds of greatness can sprout anywhere and from anyone—sometimes in the most unlikely of circumstances.

Here is an opportunity: the next great door may be opened by you. Perhaps great inventions all begin with a small idea. The difference between a struggle for survival and brilliant success is that some people believe in their ideas and others don't.

It is said that no one can count how many seeds there are in an apple, but only God knows how many apples a seed can produce. In fact, one seed can produce countless apples. How many apples can be produced only depends on hard work. You have an infinite number of ideas and talents at your disposal right now that can change your life, the lives of millions of people—and who knows, maybe the entire world.

This may mean Nothing is impossible!
