A child who grew up in the countryside, reading is the only way for him to get rid of poverty. If he wants to be better than others in an environment of lack of resources, he has no other choice but to work hard. This is the only choice that he is forced to accept but cannot refuse. But if you choose to work hard from now on, you will be one step closer to having more choices. The only choice once will lay the foundation for you to have better choices in the future.
Reading is an opportunity for us to get ahead and take the initiative. Reading is also an investment and effort with the lowest cost and the greatest gain, but it is also an investment opportunity with the greatest competitive pressure, which often requires us to work harder than just hard.
There is no end to learning in life, and efforts should never stop. With the rapid renewal of the times, only by constantly striving for progress and self-improvement can we ensure that we will not be abandoned by the times.
Xiao Wang, a colleague in our company, keeps the habit of continuous learning. She told us that only learning is the most valuable investment, and the most precious wealth is something that others can never take away and belongs to you alone. She insists on learning English every day and reading two or three books a week after work. Her behavior seems unnecessary in the eyes of others, because it is not necessary for her work. She thinks that it is good to do her job well, so she doesn't have to learn English that she has no chance to use. It is the last word to enjoy life after work.
But recently, an important event happened in the company, which changed everyone's view of Xiao Wang's behavior and regretted that he didn't insist on studying like Xiao Wang. Because of the expansion of the company's business market, the boss needs a person who is familiar with the business and has no problem in English communication. Although there are some talented students who have no problem in communicating English at school, after several years of baptism, they have not been in contact for a long time, and it is almost impossible to communicate normally. Therefore, this opportunity falls to Xiao Wang, because she insists that there is no problem in achieving normal communication in her study.
Maybe some people will think that Xiao Wang stepped on the dog's excrement and let her meet such a good opportunity. But I didn't pay attention to how much effort Xiao Wang made for this hard-won opportunity. When others are shopping and singing K, she is silently learning English or reading a book. When others go back and forth to various social activities, she is still learning English or reading books while enduring the pain caused by not socializing; When others are playing around during the holidays, she stays at home alone to study English or read books. She spends almost all her spare time outside of work studying English or reading books.
As social animals, we are far away from the group and do not socialize. This is an unbearable loneliness and loneliness, which also requires extraordinary persistence and perseverance. Insist on making a contribution that can't see the opportunity, how strong the heart and belief are.
There are extraordinary efforts behind having a better choice, and life will not be unkind to everyone who has worked hard and paid. It is only a matter of time before it will repay your hard work in different ways. So as long as you stand on tiptoe, you can get closer to the sun. As long as you have worked hard, you can grasp better opportunities and have better choices.
