I believe those of us born in the 1970s all remember this passage. At least, when I was a student, I carved it on the desk in the classroom, imitating Master Lu Xun and carving the word "morning" on the desk. But ostrovsky's famous saying was so long that I couldn't engrave a table at all, so I gave up halfway. After graduation, I plunged into the torrent of mixed society. In a blink of an eye, I found that my first half of my life had reached middle age. The novel is just the opposite of reality: the steel workers are basically laid off, and only when they are rich can they prosper in society.
Recently, when I moved, I once again dug out the novel How Steel was Tempered, which was about to be destroyed when I was a student. After reading it, I was deeply moved. If Paul were alive, I don't know how he would feel about the changes in his country and the world. Dreams when I was young are really dreams. After middle age, people just think a lot of things and are not even qualified to dream. Wash and sleep, get up early next year to make money.
People can't live for money, which is what I have always thought, but at the same time I am brazenly trying to make money. Whenever I feel too greasy and worldly, I remind myself with my dreams when I was young. Yes, I work hard to make money, that is, when I don't want to work for the time being, I don't have to worry about my livelihood, but I have to live for money when I am old.
My plan for myself is:
1, no longer working before the age of 45, living a free, casual and orderly life;
2. Change to a bigger house and improve living conditions;
3, no longer rely on work to earn income, the annual passive income is about 654.38+10,000 yuan, basically solving the problem of food and clothing, and the quality of life is above average;
4. Do a good job in physical management, lose weight and keep fit, maintain good living habits and eliminate chronic diseases left over from work.
In 2020, under various opportunities, the dream was finally realized. By the way, middle-aged people also have their own dreams. Don't just think about it, work hard and your dreams will come true.
The reality is this:
1, the unit alternates between old and new. Tired of fame and fortune, I quit my job half-heartedly. When people reach middle age, it will be an embarrassing existence if they have not yet embarked on a post that matches their age. You will find that the new young people are eyeing you, but the young leaders are suppressing you. Sadly, in order to save your job and face, you have to work overtime with these young people, and you have to smile in the face of the random criticism of young leaders. Don't want to get yourself into this situation, either have a tolerant heart like the sea or bravely walk out of the comfort zone. I have always been very tonal, so I chose the latter.
Children go to school and want to improve their living conditions. People become house slaves in middle age. I don't know what other cities are like, but our school district housing market is still relatively hot, although the school may not be so good. Nine-year compulsory education, to put it bluntly, means not to fight for family economic strength and school district housing! Ordinary people can't make money, they can only invest in houses. When the children arrived in junior high school, they just wanted to improve their living conditions and went to a house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. They originally wanted to go to a house with four bedrooms. Later, the elderly can also move in, but the funds are limited and cannot be reached in one step. The unit that left the company gave a sum of compensation, plus savings, and won a river view room. The problem of children going to school has been solved. Going out is Binjiang Park. Life is called beauty, that is, adding millions of mortgages and waking up occasionally.
3. I found a way to make money and supported my family without paying for work. As long as people are alive, they have to take their last breath. Living in the city needs money to buy food. I want to remind you that naked resignation must be cautious about this kind of thing, especially after getting used to the warmth within the system, it is really hard to bear the ups and downs of society. This year's epidemic, many entrepreneurs have a hard time, and it is really difficult to make money. As a common people, I don't have any resources and contacts, and no one leads the way. In addition, when you are old, things like starting a business will not be said. Fortunately, after mixing the system for so many years, I have learned a pen and gained a skill. I have no problem making a living by writing, and my income was unstable at first. I've been tossing and turning for a year.
After freelancing, I really live a free and easy life, but behind the free and easy is a sweet burden. In my early years, I wanted to be a dink with my wife. Later, I didn't resist the pressure of the elderly and gave birth to a baby, which also changed my life track. If I have no children, my plan is to play around after leisure and be a fairy. After all, if I don't have children to go to school, I don't need to change rooms. The money saved plus the income of 7788 depends on our husband and wife's life and time, but I can only think about it now. Because I don't go to work, I am a home cook, sending my children to school, washing clothes and cooking. I have free writing time and take care of my family. It is also suitable for business and family harmony. I can't buy happiness in any case, can I?
5, people's life, fate, God will not make people perfect, my body has lived in tumor jun, it is said that although life is not rich or expensive now, it is also worry-free, with a room to live and a meal to eat, without going to work day after day. This is a good, perfect life. But God just doesn't make people feel better! At the beginning of the physical examination, I found that there were nodules in the lungs, which were relatively large and clear. I went to two 3A hospitals to see experts. One suggested immediate surgery, and the other said that he had not been near the pleura for several months. My father had lung cancer surgery two years ago, and now he is taking targeted drugs. Our whole family was blinded by this news.
My family advised me to have an operation. At first, I was scared, too I'm not Bulgarian. How can I not be a coward? Later, I tried to survive, but I didn't die right away. Why did you scare yourself? Besides, people don't have to die sooner or later, so why live so long! Besides, I have problems on both sides, and I can't guarantee that I won't relapse after operation. My life is still affected. It's better to be happy one day at a time and have no regrets when you die.
I've thought it over. If the disease worsens, it can't be cured. Leave some money for the children and give the house to the wife. If not, it will be enough for them to live. If my money had run out and I hadn't recovered, I wouldn't be so stupid. So, I didn't go for a second interview. I don't know the result. My dad can't live well even if he has any symptoms. When he knows the result, he is finished. He has a knife, and his body is finished. He is on tenterhooks all day. After several months' investigation, the indicators changed and he was frightened. He also wanted to sell a house for treatment. People are afraid of death when they are old. What can a child say if they want to throw it away?
I am just an ordinary citizen. I've been honest all my life. I've never hurt anyone, but I've been cheated. So I am not suitable for officialdom. I quit my job and became a citizen. After a few good days, God won't let me go and let me live in a tumor king in my body. It's like a time bomb. Maybe you won't see me after the new year, and maybe you can live for a few years. If you want to forget it, it's nothing, not yet. Walking through the world once is enough. I have learned nothing in my life, and there is no point in living any more. Don't be a man in the next life, just be a wisp of idle clouds in the breeze!
A friend of mine left with me at first. He bought a farmhouse in the suburbs and wanted to live under the hedge of picking chrysanthemums. Results When I went through the formalities, I found that I had colon cancer, and I went to Beijing for surgery, and my body was almost removed. When he came back, he was as thin as a piece of paper. This was not the end of the operation, but he had to spend a lot of money later. He sold the farmhouse and then applied for medical retirement, so that he could be reimbursed more.
Another friend, a businessman outside the system, has always looked down on us wage earners. This time, when I heard that I left my job, I kept calling me stupid. Since the outbreak, his business has been bad, he closed two stores and owed a lot of debts. He said with emotion that it is not as good as the unit drought and flood. Everything is covered by division. He spent a lot of money to send his son to work in the participating units, and in any case, he would not let his son take his own class.
Actually, I don't know if my choice is right. Anyway, I've come this far, so let's take it one step at a time! Before you get better, you still have many dreams. After you get out of the situation, you feel that saving your life is the most important thing. No matter how much money you earn, how big a house you live in, too much good life and no healthy body, everything is useless and you are not happy. Isn't this all a dream?
The new year is coming. For some people, this is a new hope and a new beginning. For some people, it is one year old again, and the countdown to life has begun. Anyway, it's good to be alive, as the writer Yu Hua said: People live to be alive, not for anything else. I wish everyone well and the years will not hurt.
